Since the start of his tour in early June, Chris Brown has been going viral for his meet-and-greets with fans. Now, four men are claiming one of those meet-and-greets ended with Brown ordering his entourage and rapper Yella Beezy to beat them up backstage.
The plaintiffs are seeking $50 million from Chris, his entourage leader Sinko Ceej, Yella Beezy, and Live Nation. TMZ first reported the lawsuit filed by Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell.
$50 Million Lawsuit Claims Chris Brown Did THIS
The four men reportedly attended Chris Brown’s show on July 20 in the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. According to the lawsuit, the men claim they were invited backstage after the show, along with a group of 40 women.
Brown allegedly took 30 minutes to arrive in the VIP area. When Chris finally did enter, Charles Bush claims he dapped the singer up and congratulated him on a good show. The lawsuit claims Brown received the pleasant energy until someone in his entourage interrupted the vibes.
The entourage member allegedly shouted, “Man you don’t remember you two were beefing?” At that point, Brown seemed to recall the alleged beef and responded, “What’s up n***a, I don’t forget sh*t,” and then ordered his entourage to beat up Charles Bush.
Immediately after, Bush said seven to ten of Chris’ men surrounded him, landing punches and kicks. One of the men, reportedly cited as Hood Boss in the lawsuit docs, allegedly threw a chair at Charles’ head.
Meanwhile, at Chris Brown’s alleged request, Yella Beezy and others allegedly chased Larry Parker to a dead-end staircase. Beezy and others allegedly punched and kicked him in the head for over 10 minutes.
Their lawyer, Tony Buzbee, spoke out about the lawsuit on Instagram on July 22. He revealed that multiple police reports have been filed. While all four men suffered injuries, one of them remains hospitalized, per Tony.

This development comes amid what’s been a well-received tour for the R&B icon, filled with fan love! As previously reported, Breezy started his ’11:11 Tour’ on June 5 in Detroit. He plans to be on the road in the U.S. until August 6.
However, it’s unclear what kind of impact the $50M lawsuit will have on his remaining shows. The singer is expected to pop out for his fans in Denver, Colorado, today (July 23).
While Chris Brown is leaving Texas with four fans potentially turned foes, he made a memorable impression on another fan by recreating an iconic ‘Stomp The Yard.’
