Chris Brown, as well as members of his entourage and Live Nation, has been hit with a $50 million lawsuit for a case of alleged assault.

The singer and rapper, 35, was sued for the alleged "violent assault" of four concertgoers with members of his entourage after a show in Fort Worth, Texas on Saturday, July 20.

However, despite the legal battle, the singer remains active on social media and has received the support of his fans for his latest upload.

Breaking his silence

Chris has not spoken up about the alleged incident so far, presumably due to his legal team advising him not to do so, but has continued to share outtakes from his latest shows.

His most recent clip came earlier on July 24, days after the suit was first filed, in which he included a snippet from his most recent concert, performing a track off his latest album 11:11.

He cryptically captioned the clip: "There is beauty in my pain," and fans responded with comments like: "I need a live album christopher," and: "I love how you're not afraid to show the beauty in your pain, it's healing for all of us."

The lawsuit

Plaintiffs Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and DaMarcus Powell filed a case with a Texas court on Monday, July 22 alleging that the singer and his "paid entourage" were guilty of "brutally and severely" assaulting them after a concert.

Charles Bush complimented the star for his show, and while he was received warmly at first, it was claimed that "a member of Brown's entourage remarked loudly to Brown, 'Man, you don't remember you two were beefing,'" and they were then ordered to attack the plaintiff.

The lawsuit states that Charles was allegedly punched in the chest and a chair was picked up and thrown at him, while the other plaintiffs were also punched and kicked. The lawsuit mentions that all four "are injured" and "undergoing medical treatment."
