Fort Worth police are asking for information regarding an altercation Saturday at Dickie’s Arena following a Chris Brown show that led to a lawsuit from concertgoers.
The incident occurred backstage of the venue, according to police. Saturday was the R&B singer’s second concert on his “11:11” tour at Dickie’s.
Detectives are looking to speak with anyone who witnessed the fight, including the events that lead up to it.
This comes after four men filed a lawsuit against the singer and his entourage Monday, alleging Brown and seven members of his entourage punched and stomped on them. The plaintiffs are seeking $50 million in damages, according to Rolling Stone.
The suit, filed Monday in Harris County, says the four men — Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Damarcus Powell — grew tired as they were waiting for Brown in a VIP room after the concert.
After Bush briefly spoke with Brown, a member of the singer’s entourage said, “Man, you don’t remember you two were beefing,” according to the lawsuit.
Brown then grabbed a cup of liquor and said, “Oh yeah, we were. What’s up, [expletive]? I don’t forget [expletive],” the lawsuit states.
The singer then ordered his entourage to “[expletive plaintiff Bush up],” the suit reads.
As Bush tried to leave, Brown and about seven to 10 of his men followed him into a hallway and began to assault him and the other three men he was with, according to the lawsuit.
Each of the four men were injured and are undergoing medical treatment, the plaintiffs wrote in the suit.
“Brown has several times been reported to be involved in incidents of violence and assault, beating men and women alike. ... Nonetheless, LiveNation shamelessly profits and promotes Brown’s The 11:11 Tour and brought Brown to Texas for financial gain,” according to the lawsuit.
LiveNation is also named a defendant in the suit.
