Chris Brown can't seem to catch a break or stay out of trouble. According to new documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday, Brown is being sued for unspecified damages stemming from the studio fight with Frank Ocean (and his entourage) in January.
According to the AP, Sha'keir Duarte filed the lawsuit Tuesday, citing assault and battery, claiming that he suffered a concussion, humiliation and mental anguish as a result of the attack at Westlake Studios on January 27.
Duarte also claims that he was beaten by a member of Chris Brown's entourage, identified as "hood," during the infamous (and silly) fight over a parking spot.
As widely reported earlier this year, Frank Ocean opted not to press charges, but did note that his finger was injured during the fight.
You might remember the infamous fight that occurred in a West Hollywood parking lot back in 2013 between Chris Brown and Frank Ocean’s entourage. Well, it seems as though the drama is still ongoing, as Chris Brown has now been named in a new lawsuit related to the incident.
According to reports, Sha’Keir Duarte, a member of Frank Ocean’s team who was involved in the altercation, is suing Chris Brown for assault and battery. This is not the first time that Brown has faced legal troubles related to his violent behavior, but it remains to be seen how this latest lawsuit will play out in court.
Details of the Fight in the West Hollywood Parking Lot
Get ready to hear the jaw-dropping details of the Chris Brown and Frank Ocean fight that went down in a West Hollywood parking lot.
It all began when both artists showed up at the same recording studio on January 27, 2013.
The altercation reportedly started over a parking spot, which quickly escalated into a physical confrontation between their entourages.
According to witnesses, Chris Brown threw the first punch and then his crew jumped in to help him.
Frank Ocean was left with a cut above his eye and later tweeted that he was ‘jumped by Chris and a couple guys.’
However, Brown’s camp denies starting the fight and claims that Ocean instigated it.

Ocean sued Brown for assault and battery, while Brown countersued for defamation after Ocean called him homophobic names on social media.
The legal battle continued for several years before being settled out of court in 2015.
