Chris Brown and Live Nation have been sued for $50 million by four concertgoers who claim the singer “brutally and severely beat” them after a performance.
According to a complaint filed Monday in Harris County, Texas, and obtained by TMZ, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Da Marcus Powell allege that Brown, 35, and his associates threw chairs before kicking and beating them.
The four music fans said they were invited backstage at Brown’s show Friday at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth as part of his ongoing “11:11” tour.
According to the filing, the men said the “Forever” singer “participated in and directed” the violence.
Live Nation, the company promoting Brown’s tour, as well as his associates Sinko Ceej, Hood Boss and Yella Beezy, are named as defendants in the lawsuit.
In the complaint, Parker, Lewis, Bush and Powell claim that before leaving, Brown’s entourage reminded the singer that he and Bush, an audience member at the concert, had had a “conflict.”
“Oh yeah, we were. What’s up, na? I ain’t forgettin’ nothing,” Brown allegedly told him, according to the filing.
The “With You” singer followed Bush down the hallway with seven to 10 members of his clique before attacking her and her three friends, the lawsuit said.
The complaint also claims Parker was pinned down a flight of stairs where he was punched and kicked for 10 minutes.
“All plaintiffs are receiving medical treatment and will require additional treatment in the future,” the lawsuit alleges.
Elsewhere, Live Nation is being accused of failing to ensure the safety of spectators at Brown’s concert.
All four plaintiffs are undergoing medical treatment, the complaint adds. They are seeking a temporary restraining order against the singer, as well as $50 million.
Page Six has reached out to representatives for Brown and Live Nation for comment.
Brown is scheduled to continue his West Coast tour as part of his “11:11” tour before wrapping up in Los Angeles, California on August 6.
Brown has recently come under fire for his controversial performances.
The rapper raised eyebrows when he was seen grabbing “Love Island” star Natalia Zoppa’s throat while serenading her at her March 2023 concert in Manchester, England.
Several fans called the gesture “aggressive,” saying the reality star looked “really distressed.”
Meanwhile, a month earlier, Brown had complained that people “still hate” him after he attacked his ex-girlfriend and pop sensation Rihanna in 2009.
