Frank Ocean's cousin has sued Chris Brown over a fight which took place with his entourage earlier this year.
Billboard reports that Sha'keir Duarte has sued Brown for unspecified damages in Los Angeles Superior Court. He claims that he suffered a concussion, humiliation and mental anguish as a result of the attack when he was 'kicked and punched' in a dispute over a parking spot.
The fight took place at Westlake Recording Studios erupted on 27 January. The suit claims that Brown taunted Duarte at the scene and that there were even threats of gun violence.
Chris Brown's Mark Geragos has dismissed the suit and says that they will be counteruing Duarte, arguing: "This is what gives lawyers and lawsuits a bad name is garbage like this."
Frank Ocean himself, however, made it clear earlier this year that he had no intention of pressing charges.

The news will undoubtedly come as a blow to Brown, who last week took to Twitter to admit that he had plans to quit music, whilst also alluding that his decision has been influenced by the reputation he earnt himself following the domestic violence charge he recieved after beating up Rihanna in 2009.
He tweeted:
Don't worry mainstream America.After this X album, it'll probably be my last album.
