A $50 million lawsuit has been filed against American R&B singer Chris Brown, his confidante Sinko Ceej, rapper Yella Beezy, and the company Live Nation in relation to many alleged attacks that took place during Brown’s 11:11 tour in Fort Worth, Texas.

According to TMZ, the singer was charged in a recent lawsuit with planning the attack on four men that occurred backstage at his July 20 tour stop in Fort Worth.

The plaintiffs, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Da Marcus Powell, claimed that they were invited backstage and led there, along with 40 women, for a post-concert party, but ended up being molested.

In the lawsuit, Bush claimed that after reminding Brown of their beef, he went to congratulate him on a successful show and that Brown then ordered his men to beat him up.

He also claimed that Yella Beezy and some of Brown’s men had surrounded him and punched and kicked him, and that one of Hood Boss’s entourage members had thrown a chair at his head.

Additionally, the plaintiffs claimed that Brown had sent Yella Beezy and some of his men to “f*** up” Parker, chasing him into a locked staircase.

Parker claimed that Brown had surrounded him with punches and kicks in the head for more than ten minutes after Brown had encouraged all of his companions to get involved.

The plaintiffs said they suffered severe injuries and had to undergo various medical treatments. Their attorney, Tony Buzbee, said at least one of them remains hospitalised and vowed to bring CB to justice.

In addition to the $50 million in damages, the plaintiffs have also filed for restraining orders against Chris, Beezy, and Sinko Ceej.

Chris Brown and his team are yet to react to the allegations.

Brown has faced legal issues in the past, most infamously in a criminal case, when he pleaded guilty to having assaulted his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
