Chris Brown‘s “11:11” tour has hit a sour note with serious accusations of violence. The singer is now facing a $50 million lawsuit over an alleged backstage attack.
Legal documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop reveal that Brown, along with rapper Yella Beezy, Brown’s entourage member Sinko Ceej, and concert promoter Live Nation, are being sued by four men who claim they were assaulted following a concert. The plaintiffs—Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell—allege they were invited backstage after Brown’s performance at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 20.

According to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs, along with approximately 40 women, were escorted backstage for a post-concert gathering. After a 30-minute wait, the plaintiffs grew impatient and decided to leave but wanted to bid farewell to Brown.
The complaint details that Charles Bush approached Brown to congratulate him on the performance. However, an entourage member allegedly reminded Brown of a past altercation between them, prompting Brown to instruct his crew to assault Bush. Bush claims he was attacked by 7-10 men from Brown’s entourage, who punched and kicked him. He also alleges that an individual named Hood Boss threw a chair at his head.
The lawsuit further alleges that Chris Brown ordered Yella Beezy and others to chase and assault Larry Parker. Parker claims he was beaten for over 10 minutes in a staircase after being cornered.
All four plaintiffs state they sustained severe injuries and required medical attention. Their attorney, Tony Buzbee, noted that one of the victims remains hospitalized and vowed to seek justice.
In addition to the financial compensation, the plaintiffs have requested restraining orders against Brown, Yella Beezy, and Sinko Ceej.
