A $50 million lawsuit has been filed against Chris Brown in relation to an incident that happened backstage at one of his shows last Friday.

The lawsuit was filed in Harris County, Texas today by Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell against Brown, as well as his tour promoter Live Nation, Hood Boss, Sinko Ceej, and Yella Beezy. The four plaintiffs are requesting a temporary restraining order against each of the defendants in addition to the payment.

Following the singer’s concert on Friday night at Dickies Arena in Ft. Worth, Texas as part of his 11:11 Tour, Brown and his entourage violently beat the plaintiffs. After the set, Brown was asked to meet the four men backstage, but he arrived thirty minutes later than expected.

A member of the singer’s crew reminded Brown that the two had previously had problems when Bush came up to congratulate Brown on the show before he left. It’s stated that Brown said, “Oh yeah, we were.” N—a, what’s going on? I remember the sh*t.

According to the lawsuit, Hood Boss picked up a chair and flung it at Bush’s head after Brown and seven to ten of his companions attacked him and punched him in the chest.

According to the lawsuit, Brown and his group then focused on Parker, who attempted to flee by going up a staircase that led to a closed door.

Parker was allegedly kicked in the head for more than ten minutes and hit in the face and chest at Brown’s command. Lewis was struck in the shoulder and chest, according to the lawsuit, while Powell was punched in the shoulder. Every plaintiff had injuries, and they are all receiving medical care at this time.

“No should have to endure what these clients endured,” plaintiffs’ attorney Tony Buzbee stated. “We will seek the maximum amount of damages allowed by law for this egregious conduct.”

This is Brown’s most recent legal problem; he has previously been charged with violent misconduct. After entering a guilty plea to beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, he got into a fight with Drake at a New York City club three years later.

In 2016, his former manager filed a lawsuit against him for assault and violence. A year later, Karreuche Tran, his ex-girlfriend, obtained a five-year restraining order against him due to alleged threats.
