Chris Brown and Yella Beezy face $50 million lawsuit over alleged assault

Chris Brown and Yella Beezy are facing a $50 million lawsuit following an alleged backstage attack on Brown’s 11:11 tour.

On Monday (22 July) TMZ Hip Hop News of the lawsuit brought to light by plaintiffs Charles Bush, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis and Da Marcus Powell, who accused Brown, Beezy and several members of his entourage of brutally attacking them backstage at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

According to legal documents obtained by the outlet, the alleged assaults occurred last Saturday (July 20) following Brown’s performance at Dickies Arena, where the plaintiffs were escorted backstage to an after-party along with dozens of women.

Bush says he and his friends, who had attended the concert together, grew tired of waiting for Brown to arrive and decided to leave, but not before exchanging pleasantries with the artist. While Brown initially seemed to accept Bush’s congratulatory gesture, a member of his entourage suddenly referred to him as someone Brown had already had a falling out with, causing the encounter to suddenly become tense.

Bush says Brown then approached him in a confrontational manner. The singer said, “What’s up, n**t? I don’t forget anything,” before ordering members of his entourage to attack Bush. Bush says he was surrounded by several men who punched him and kicked him in the head.

Bush also says that a certain member of Brown’s crew named Hood Boss threw a chair at his head during the attack.

Another plaintiff, Larry Parker, says Chris Brown ordered Yella Beezy and members of his entourage to chase him and “f*** him up,” after which he was attacked after running down a stairwell with a locked door and no other way out. According to Parker, he was punched and kicked in the head for more than 10 minutes during the beating.

Bush, Parker, Lewis and Powell all suffered serious injuries in the attacks and had to undergo various medical treatments and procedures. At least one plaintiff remained hospitalized, according to Tony Buzbee, the attorney for the alleged victims.

In addition to Chris Brown and Yella Beezy, Brown’s partner Sinko Ceej and Live Nation were named as defendants in the eight-figure lawsuit. The plaintiffs have also sought temporary restraining orders against Brown, Beezy and Sinko Ceej.
