Chris Brown Faces Property Seizure Over Unpaid $2M Debt Linked to Failed Popeyes Investment
R&B star Chris Brown finds himself embroiled in legal turmoil as he faces the possibility of losing his property over an unpaid debt related to a failed investment venture.
City National Bank in Georgia initiated legal action against Brown last year in California, alleging that the singer, along with collaborators including The-Dream, failed to repay a loan taken to acquire two Popeyes restaurants. Despite the project’s failure to materialize, the substantial debt remains outstanding.
Recent reports indicate that a Los Angeles court has ruled against Brown, ordering him to settle the $1,760,654.11 debt within 30 days. Failure to comply could result in the seizure of his assets as an alternative to repayment, as stated in court documents obtained by BNN.
The lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal challenges for Brown, who is currently embroiled in a $71 million lawsuit over a dog attack incident involving his former housekeepers. Brown’s legal team has requested a trial date extension, citing ongoing medical treatment for the injured party and difficulties in gathering essential evidence.
In this particular case, Patricia Avila alleges that one of Brown’s dogs viciously attacked her sister, Maria, while they were attending to Brown’s residence in 2020. The severity of the incident underscores the complexity of Brown’s legal battles, which continue to unfold amid mounting financial and legal pressures.
