(EXCLUSIVE) Faith Evans – Concert Promoter Demands She Pay $300k Over Bad Boy Reunion Tour
theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports, Faith Evans is accused of screwing over a Georgia concert promoter – who has sued the singer demanding a restraining order prohibiting her from performing at the Bad Boy Reunion Tour stop in Atlanta next month – and now the man has headed back to court to amend his complaint. He is now seeking $300k+ in damages from the singer due to her breach of contract.
Here’s the latest: On August 16th, the promoter returned to court and filed an amended complaint, in which he is now seeking $200k+ from Faith Evans and Live Nation for her breach of contract & their interference with his deal with the singer.
He explains that due to Faith’s bad faith, willful and intentional conduct he is entitled to punitive damages in the amount of $200k. He is also demanding special damages to the tune of $100k minimum for a grand total of $300k. The promoter says the singer’s actions call for her to also pay his legal bills for having to file the lawsuit.
Further, he is still pleading for the judge to take action before the September concert date where Faith is scheduled to perform on the Bad Boy Reunion Tour, with the man demanding a restraining order prohibiting her from taking the stage with Diddy and Lil Kim.
Here’s the backstory: A man named Jeremy Hill and his company The Middle Georgia Entertainment Group filed the lawsuit against Faith and Live Nation Worldwide in Federal Court.
Back in 2015, Hill explains he worked out a deal with Faith to perform at the Wolf Creek Amphitheater in Atlanta this September. Faith was paid a total of $17,500 for the concert at the time she signed the deal.
Hill pointed out the contract had a provision that Faith could not perform within a 100 mile radius of Atlanta or be announced as a performer at another venue for any date between March 10th 2016 – September 10th 2016.
The man said Faith recently been announced as a performer, as part of the Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour, which will be held at Phillips Arena nearby– 2 days before her show at Wolf Creek, which the man says is a breach of their agreement.
Then despite knowing she had a gig on September 10th, 2016 in Georgia, she entered into a deal with Live Nation to perform in Florida the same day.
According to the docs, Faith told a representative of Live Nation that she had a previously scheduled concert but they threatened if she performed in Atlanta that she would be cut from the entire Bad Boy tour.
Hill contacted Live Nation and even sent cease and desist letters demanding they stop interfering with his deal with Faith. They never responded to his demands.
He explained that if the Faith concert doesn’t go as planned he will experience even more pain & suffering, loss of reputation and good will amongst his clients within the entertainment industry, suffer damages in excess of $100k+.
The lawsuit demanded a restraining order against Live Nation & Faith from performing the Bad Boy concert days before his along with damages for the singer & the music company actions.
