Chris Brown and Lil Durk are in hot water over their collaboration “Till The Wheels Fall Off.”
According to TMZ, music producer Micah Foster is throwing some serious shade at Chris Brown and Lil Durk, claiming they jacked elements from his track. In the court docs that have surfaced, Foster alleges that Brown shamelessly lifted the chorus, hook, and arrangement from his song “Wheels Fall Off,” which dropped back in 2019—three years before their collaboration hit the airwaves!
Foster also insists he shared his track with Brown while they were cooking up tunes for the album Breezy. Despite their musical bromance, Foster claims he’s been left high and dry, seeing zero royalties from his own work. Now, he’s taking it to the courtroom to demand some cash—meanwhile, Breezy is playing it cool and has yet to respond to the lawsuit.
The new filing likely won’t shock fans of the triple threat, as he’s been on the receiving end of a series of lawsuits lately.
In July, Chris Brown and Yella Beezy found themselves facing controversy during their “11:11” Tour, facing a lawsuit from four fans—Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell—who claim they were assaulted backstage at Brown’s Fort Worth show on July 20. According to TMZ, the lawsuit details an incident where Bush initially greeted Brown, but after someone from Brown’s crew reminded him of a past feud, Brown allegedly responded, “Oh yeah, we were. What’s up, n*gga? I don’t forget shit,” and ordered his crew to attack.
The situation escalated with Brown reportedly directing his crew to “fuck up” Parker, who claims he endured over ten minutes of punches and kicks, leaving the plaintiffs with serious injuries that required ongoing medical treatment, including one individual still hospitalized. Meanwhile, Brown kicked off his “11:11” tour in Detroit, cheekily addressing rumors of being blackballed: “For a n-gga they say is blackballed, this don’t look blackballed to me!”
Brown quickly called in the legal cavalry, enlisting attorney Levi G. McCathern II to tackle the civil lawsuit. McCathern wasted no time claiming that the drama kicked off when Charles Bush, a Dallas personal injury attorney, and his posse of uninvited guests waltzed in with a mission to stir the pot. “These individuals had a clear agenda when they approached Chris. They were seeking trouble and are directly responsible for the situation that ensued,” McCathern stated, emphasizing that Brown “never initiated physical contact with anyone.”
Additionally, McCathern noted the quickness with which Bush retained Houston attorney Tony Buzbee to file the extensive 50-page lawsuit, asserting, “Chris was unjustly targeted in this incident. These individuals saw him as an opportunity for financial gain and should never have been permitted backstage in the first place. The whole episode was clearly a setup.”
