Chris Brown countersues over fight at recording studio involving Frank Ocean’s entourage
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Chris Brown has countersued a man who has accused the R&B star’s entourage of attacking him outside a recording studio earlier this year.
The singer filed an assault and battery lawsuit Wednesday against Sha’keir Duarte, who claimed in an earlier suit that he was injured when a fight erupted between Brown and Frank Ocean’s entourages in January outside a West Hollywood studio.
Duarte’s lawsuit filed in August accused Brown of being the aggressor. Brown’s countersuit accuses Duarte of instigating the fight by pushing, kicking and punching the R&B singer and threatening to kill him.
No criminal charges were filed over the fight. Brown’s lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
Duarte’s attorney Joseph Porter III did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
