An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the yacht where Brown allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted the unidentified woman belonged to P. Diddy. However, that is not the case. The yacht was docked near P. Diddyβs home in Miami and this article has been updated to reflect the correction.

It appears things arenβt going breezy for Chris Brown.
Per The Guardian, the βNo Guidanceβ artist is currently being sued for $20 million by an unidentified woman who alleges Brown drugged and raped her on yacht docked near P. Diddyβs home in Miami last December.
According to the suit, the womanβa professional choreographer, dancer, model, and musicianβand her friend were invited to the yacht by a male friend over the phone. At some point during the conversation, Brown took the phone, admitted to knowing about the woman, (identified only as Jane Doe in court documents) and urged the ladies to come as soon as possible. Upon their arrival, Brown offered the woman a mixed drink and began to converse with her about her career and the music industry. Then things began to take a turn.
