\n\tChris Brown and Live Nation are facing a lawsuit from a Miami-based retailer called Breezy Swim, which claims the R&B star\u2019s Breezy Bowl XX stadium world tour rips off its trademarks with \u201ccopy-cat branding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe lawsuit arrives Wednesday (July 30) in Miami federal court, the very day that Brown is set to launch the North American leg of his Breezy Bowl XX tour at the city\u2019s LoanDepot Park. The tour, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of Brown\u2019s self-titled debut album, began in Europe this past June with promotion from Live Nation.<\/p>\n

\n\tBreezy Swim, which has operated out of Miami since 2018, takes particular issue with Brown bringing his tour to the city. The swimwear company says it\u2019s staged an annual runway show in Miami called \u201cBreezy Bowl\u201d since 2023, and Brown\u2019s show threatens to confuse consumers and dilute its brand.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cA routine Google search of \u2018Breezy Bowl\u2019 displays Breezy Swim\u2019s 2023\u20132024 runway shows directly beside Chris\u202fBrown\u2019s 2025 \u2018Breezy Bowl\u2019 merchandise,\u201d reads the legal complaint. \u201cCompounding the overlap, Brown\u2019s tour advertises its official \u2018Breezy Bowl\u2019 after-party at LIV\u202fNightclub \u2014 the identical Miami venue that hosted plaintiff\u2019s Breezy\u202fBowl on July 21,\u202f2024. Customers have even asked if Chris Brown will attend Breezy Swimwear\u2019s \u2018Breezy Bowl\u2019 event.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBreezy Swim also claims Brown has infringed its trademarks by selling swimwear branded with Brown\u2019s \u201cBreezy\u201d nickname as merch for the tour. This includes bikinis emblazoned with the moniker \u201cTeam Breezy\u201d and one-piece swimsuits with the logo \u201cBreezy Bowl XX.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe lawsuit names Brown\u2019s merchandise partners, Merch Traffic and Shopify, as defendants alongside the singer and Live Nation. Breezy Swim is asking for monetary damages, plus a court injunction that would block the use of its trademarks for both the tour and merch sales.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBig names shouldn\u2019t be allowed to steamroll the small businesses that feed families and drive our local economy,\u201d says Breezy Swim\u2019s attorney, John Hoover<\/strong>, in a statement sent to Billboard<\/em> on Wednesday. \u201cFame doesn\u2019t put anyone above the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReps for Brown, Live Nation, Merch Traffic and Shopify did not immediately return requests for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tThese trademark infringement claims are not the first legal issues to plague the Breezy Bowl XX tour. The tour\u2019s future was thrown into question in May, when Brown was arrested in the U.K. \u00a0for allegedly attacking a music producer with a bottle at a London nightclub in 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was initially unclear whether Brown would be able to go forward with the tour following his arrest, but he was ultimately granted release on a $6.7 million bail package and given permission to travel for the concerts. The singer has appeared in court during breaks between shows to plead not guilty to the criminal charges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
