Yella Beezy has finally spoken up, via his attorney, regarding being included in a $50 million lawsuit after an alleged backstage scuffle at a recent Chris Brown performance — and it turns out he’s perplexed about the whole thing.
Beezy’s lawyer, Daryl K. Washington, told The Shade Room on Friday (July 26) that the lawsuit was “frivolous and without merit.”
“[Beezy] does not understand why he is mentioned as a party in the case or the temporary restraining order, which was obviously filed before all facts were gathered and confirmed. He was not involved in any incident and had no contact with the Plaintiffs.
“We are aware that a comprehensive inquiry would have demonstrated that [Beezy] was not a party to the reported confrontation.
“It is just not feasible to falsely accuse him or any other party of being a part of an incident in the absence of supporting evidence.”
Plaintiffs Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell have filed a lawsuit against Brown, Yella Beezy, and Live Nation, along with Beezy’s entourage lieutenant Sinko Ceej. The lawsuit was first reported by TMZ earlier this week.
The four guys assert that, on July 20, along with forty women, they were invited backstage to Chris’s 11:11 Tour in Fort Worth, Texas. In Bush’s account, he was chatting with Chris and getting along well when one of the singer’s staff members remarked, “Man, you don’t remember you two were beefing?”
Bush claims that Chris then said, “Oh yeah, we were.” N-gga, what’s going on? I remember this crap,” he said, before giving the order for his men to jump the guest. Then, according to reports, seven or ten people surrounded Bush and started punching and kicking him in addition to hurling a chair at his head.
Parker says he was kicked and attacked by Chris after he sent Yella Beezy after him.
The four guys said they were all severely injured and required multiple medical procedures. At least one of them is still in the hospital, according to their attorney Tony Buzbee.
Days later, the head of backhouse security at the venue filed a second lawsuit over the same event against Brown, Beezy, and members of his entourage as well as Live Nation. “Severely injured attempting to protect the four fans from Chris Brown and his entourage,” according to Frederick Overpeck’s statement.
Overpeck filed a $15 million lawsuit.
