Chris Brown and Lil Durk are facing a lawsuit over their joint track, “Till The Wheels Fall Off.”
According to TMZ, music producer Micah Foster has accused the duo of stealing from his work. In newly uncovered legal documents, Foster claims that Brown blatantly copied the chorus, hook, and arrangement from his song “Wheels Fall Off,” which was released in 2019—three years prior to the release of their collaboration!
Foster further asserts that he shared his track with Brown during their sessions for the album Breezy. Foster continues to allege that he has not received any royalties from his own creation. Now, he is turning to the courts to seek compensation.
The recent legal action probably won’t come as a surprise to fans of the multi-talented artist, as he has been embroiled in a string of lawsuits recently.
Back in July, Chris Brown and Yella Beezy encountered their own share of controversy during the “11:11” Tour when four fans—Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell—filed a lawsuit claiming they were assaulted backstage at Brown’s concert in Fort Worth on July 20. According to reports from TMZ, the lawsuit recounts an incident in which Bush approached Brown for a greeting, but after a member of Brown’s team reminded him of an earlier conflict, Brown allegedly reacted by saying, “Oh yeah, we were. What’s up, n*gga? I don’t forget sh*t,” and ordered his crew to attack.

The situation intensified when Brown allegedly instructed his crew to “take care of” Parker, who asserts that he was subjected to more than ten minutes of punches and kicks. This violent encounter has left the plaintiffs with significant injuries that necessitate ongoing medical care, with one individual still in the hospital. In the meantime, Brown launched his “11:11” tour in Detroit, playfully addressing the rumors surrounding his alleged blackballing.
“For a n-gga they say is blackballed, this don’t look blackballed to me!”
Brown swiftly brought in his legal team, hiring attorney Levi G. McCathern II to handle the civil lawsuit. McCathern promptly asserted that the incident was sparked by Charles Bush, a personal injury lawyer from Dallas, and his group of uninvited guests who allegedly entered with the intent to cause chaos. “These individuals had a specific agenda when they approached Chris. They were looking for trouble and are directly accountable for what happened next,” McCathern declared, stressing that Brown “never made the first move in any physical confrontation.”
