Chris Brown, several members of his entourage, and his tour promoter Live Nation face a $50 million lawsuit for the alleged “brutal, violent assault” of four concertgoers following his show in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 21, 2023.
The lawsuit claims that Brown and his associates, including Conway, Hood Boss (Omololu Omari Akinlolu), and Sinko Ceej, “brutally and severely beat” four men—Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell—in an unprovoked attack backstage at the Dickies Arena concert. According to the complaint, Live Nation continued to work with Brown despite his history of “bad conduct and violent conduct” and profited from bringing him to Texas for the tour.
The plaintiffs’ attorney, Tony Buzbee, stated that in Texas, people must follow the law and conduct themselves appropriately. He emphasized that unprovoked violence will not be tolerated and intends to seek all available damages against Brown and his associates, including punitive damages.
Details of the Alleged Attack
The lawsuit alleges that Brown and his entourage surrounded the plaintiffs, threw chairs at them, and repeatedly kicked, stomped, and beat them, causing severe injuries to their heads and chests. The complaint claims that Bush was attacked after congratulating Brown on his set and that Parker was trapped in a stairwell and beaten for over ten minutes on Brown’s instructions.
All four alleged victims required medical treatment, with Parker hospitalized and needing extensive treatment for head injuries sustained in the attack. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages exceeding $50 million, as well as actual damages including pecuniary losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and medical expenses.
The lawsuit cites Brown’s history of legal issues, including his 2009 assault of Rihanna and various other alleged physical and sexual assault accusations over the years, most recently in 2023. It also claims that Live Nation continued to work with Brown despite his record of “violent conduct.”
