Chris Brown, Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, and several others are facing a lawsuit from four men who claim they were violently attacked and hospitalized after a concert in North Texas. The incident is said to have occurred on July 20, following Brown’s performance at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.
According to the lawsuit, the complainants were assaulted backstage by Brown and his companions, resulting in severe injuries. They are now seeking $50 million in damages to cover their medical expenses, pain, and suffering.
Details of the Lawsuit
A civil lawsuit was filed in Houston on Monday, July 22, regarding an incident that took place on Saturday, July 20. The victims are seeking $50 million in damages for monetary losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and medical expenses.
The lawsuit names Chris Brown, Markies “Yella Beezy” Conway, UK rapper Sinko Ceej, Omololu “Hood Boss” Akinlolu, Live Nation Worldwide, Inc., and Live Nation Marketing, Inc.
Allegations of Violent Attack
The lawsuit alleges that Brown and his friends, which includes Conway, Ceej, and Akinlolu, attacked Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell. The plaintiffs claim they were beaten, kicked, and had chairs thrown at them.
They assert that Brown directed the attack, which occurred after his concert in Fort Worth at the Dickies Arena.
Incident Backstage
According to the lawsuit, Parker, Lewis, Bush, and Powell attended the second night of Brown’s “11:11 Tour” stop in Fort Worth. After the concert, they, along with around 40 women, were invited backstage to the VIP area.
Brown allegedly instructed the women to turn in their phones before entering a room with his entourage.
The accusers claim that after waiting for about 30 minutes, they decided to leave. As Bush approached Brown to congratulate him, a member of Brown’s group reminded the singer of a past disagreement. This allegedly prompted Brown to order his companions to attack Bush.
Specific Allegations of the Assault
The lawsuit details that Sinko Ceej punched Bush in the chest while Akinlolu threw a chair at his head. Brown then allegedly instructed Conway and others to attack Parker. The plaintiffs state they were followed into a hallway and severely beaten.
Parker was reportedly punched in the face and chest, kicked in the head for over 10 minutes, and stomped, causing severe injuries. Bush and Powell were also assaulted.
Ongoing Medical Treatment
The accusers are all undergoing medical treatment for severe injuries to their heads, necks, shoulders, and backs. They expect to need further treatment in the future.
The lawsuit demands a jury trial and a temporary restraining order to preserve evidence.
Legal and Police Actions
The Fort Worth Police Department confirmed that Brown was not arrested in the city over the weekend. There is no word on whether any police reports were filed in connection with the incident.
The lawsuit against Chris Brown and others highlights serious allegations of violence and the significant impact on the petitioners. As the legal proceedings continue, the public will be closely watching to see how these claims are addressed and what consequences may follow for those involved.
This incident adds to Brown’s controversial history and raises questions about safety and accountability at entertainment events.
