They allege that after being invited backstage at Brown’s show at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, they were attacked by Brown and his entourage, which included associates Sinko Ceej, Hood Boss, and Yella Beezy, per Page Six.
The plaintiffs claim that the altercation was initiated when Brown, recalling a past conflict with Bush, confronted him and, along with 7 to 10 members of his entourage, assaulted Bush and his friends.
