Frank Ocean’s cousin wants millions from Chris Brown in his civil suit filing.
Sha’Keir Duarte sued Brown back in August (2013), citing assault and battery, claiming that he suffered a concussion, humiliation and mental anguish as a result of the attack at Westlake Recording Studio in Los Angeles on January 27, 2013.
Now, according to TMZ, Duarte has submitted an itemized list of the damages he is seeking in a new court filing. The list includes $1 million for pain, suffering and inconvenience, $1 million for emotional distress, $1 million for punitive damages and an additional $60,000 for medical expenses.
Brown, who is currently serving 90 days of court ordered rehab over his anger management issues, countersued Duarte last month (Nov 2013), claiming he started the fight after punching and kicking him. He is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

The Lawsuit: A Recap of the Incident and Legal Battle
Get ready for the drama, ’cause we’re diving deep into the lawsuit where Frank Ocean’s cousin is demanding $3 million from Chris Brown.
The incident goes back to 2013 when Chris and Frank got into a fight outside a recording studio in LA. It was reported that Chris punched Frank and his cousin, Sha’Keir Duarte, who sued Chris for assault and battery.
Sha’Keir claimed that he suffered physical injuries during the altercation and incurred medical expenses as a result. He also alleged that he lost money due to not being able to work because of his injuries.
After years of legal battles, in 2017, Sha’Keir won the case against Chris Brown and was awarded damages totaling around $2 million.
