Los Angeles: Singer-songwriter Chris Brown, who is not new to controversies, has been sued for $50 million (approximately Rs 418 crore) in connection with an incident that took place backstage at one of his concerts. Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Da Marcus Powell filed the suit in Harris County, Texas, on Tuesday against Brown as well as his tour promoter Live Nation, Sinko Ceej, Hood Boss and Yella Beezy.
As per Variety, the four men were invited backstage to meet Brown, who showed up 30 minutes later than anticipated. Before leaving, Bush approached Brown to congratulate him on the show, prompting a member of the singer's entourage to remind Brown that the two previously had issues. Brown allegedly said, "Oh yeah, we were. What's up, n****? I don't forget s***."
The suit states that Brown and seven to 10 members of his entourage proceeded to assault Bush and punch him in the chest, and claims that Hood Boss picked up a chair and threw it at Bush's head.
In 2009, Brown had pleaded guilty to assaulting his then girlfriend and global sensation Rihanna. He has had tumultuous and abusive relationship with his former girlfriends.
