Chris Brown and rapper Yella Beezy sued for allegedly beating concertgoers in Fort Worth

Chris Brown, Dallas rapper Yella Beezy and Live Nation are being sued by four men who accused the R&B singer and members of his entourage of attacking them after a concert in Fort Worth on Saturday.

The lawsuit, filed in a Houston court on Monday, says the men were pelted with chairs and repeatedly kicked, stomped on and punched.

The defendants named in the case are Brown; Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway; Live Nation Worldwide; Live Nation Marketing; Omololu Omari Akinlolu, aka Hood Boss or HoodyBaby; and a John Doe named Sinko Ceej.

Representatives for Beezy and Live Nation did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Attorneys for Brown, Akinlolu and Sinko Ceej could not be immediately identified Tuesday.

The attack on plaintiffs Larry Parker, Charles Bush, Da Marcus Powell and Joseph Lewis took place on Saturday night after Brown’s performance during his “11:11” tour at Dickies Arena, the lawsuit states.

“This is Texas. People here don’t care how important or famous you think you are, you have a duty to obey the law and behave appropriately,” Tony Buzbee, one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, said in a statement to The Dallas Morning News.

“Unprovoked violence cannot and will not be tolerated. We intend to pursue all legal damages against Brown and his cronies.”

The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $50 million.

According to the lawsuit, the four men were invited to Brown’s VIP backstage area after the concert along with about 40 women.

After waiting about 30 minutes for Brown to appear, the men were ready to leave, the lawsuit says. Before they left the lounge area, Bush, one of the plaintiffs, extended his hand to Brown and congratulated him on the concert, the lawsuit says.

“I’m glad you’re OK. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you,” Bush said, according to the lawsuit. Brown responded, “Hey, yes it was, and I appreciate that,” the lawsuit states.

The plaintiffs then began to leave the group, the lawsuit says, when one of Brown’s co-workers said to him, “Man, you don’t remember you two having an argument,” referring to Bush.

Brown then ordered his entourage to fight the men, the lawsuit says.

The plaintiffs attempted to escape, the lawsuit continues, but were pursued by approximately seven to ten of Brown’s companions into a hallway.

According to the lawsuit, Bush was struck in the chest and had a chair thrown at his head, Parker was kicked and stomped on for over 10 minutes, Lewis was struck in the chest and shoulder, and Powell was struck in the shoulder. The men suffered injuries to their necks, shoulders and backs, and Parker was hospitalized with head injuries, the lawsuit says.

A Fort Worth police spokesman said The news it is investigating the incident.

Citing Brown’s history of “violent behavior,” the lawsuit alleges that concert promoter Live Nation failed to ensure the safety of concertgoers who were in proximity to Brown and his staff.

The incident is the latest in a series of alleged assaults linked to Brown in recent years.

In 2009, photos surfaced showing the bruised face of his then-girlfriend Rihanna after an argument with Brown, who later pleaded guilty to assault. In 2014, Brown punched a fan who tried to take a photo of him and later pleaded guilty to assault.

In 2017, ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran filed for a restraining order against the singer after he allegedly threatened to shoot her. In an earlier incident, she said, he punched her twice in the stomach and pushed her down a flight of stairs.
