Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>American R&B star, Chris Brown, his confidante Sinko Ceej, rapper Yella Beezy and the corporation Live Nation have been named in a $50 million lawsuit in connection with a series of alleged attacks that occurred on Brown\u2019s 11:11 tour in Fort Worth, Texas.<\/p>\n

The new lawsuit accused the singer of orchestrating the assault of four men backstage at the Fort Worth stop of his tour on July 20, according to TMZ.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Da Marcus Powell, claimed that they were invited backstage and escorted there, along with 40 women, for a post-concert hang, but ended up being assaulted.<\/p>\n

According to the suit, Bush said he went to congratulate Brown for a successful show and he ordered his men to beat him up after one of them reminded him of their beef.<\/p>\n

He claimed he was surrounded by 7-10 of Brown\u2019s men who punched and kicked him. He also claims an entourage member known as Hood Boss threw a chair at his head.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs also alleged Brown sent Yella Beezy and some of his men to \u201cf*** up\u201d Parker, chasing him into a dead-end staircase with a locked door.<\/p>\n

Parker said he was punched and kicked in the head for more than 10 minutes after Brown encouraged all of his companions to get a piece of the action.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

Chris Brown and his team are yet to react to the allegations.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
