Chris Brown is back on the road, but not without baggage—legal baggage, that is.
As the superstar launches the U.S. leg of his highly anticipated Breezy Bowl XX tour in Miami, he’s facing a trademark lawsuit from a local business that says his tour branding is stepping all over their rights.
Breezy Swimwear, a Miami-based female-led company, is suing both Brown and Live Nation, claiming they’ve hijacked the “Breezy Bowl” name and confused the public—damaging the brand’s hard-earned reputation in the process.
🧑‍⚖️ “Celebrities do not get to overwrite small-business names just because they are famous,” said John Hoover, the attorney for Breezy Swimwear, in a statement to TMZ.
đź’Ą The Battle of the Breezys
Breezy Swimwear says it’s been using the term “Breezy” since 2018, and they launched the “Breezy Bowl” event in 2023 as a fun, empowerment-driven gathering designed to celebrate women, fashion, and community.
Fast forward to 2025—and suddenly Chris Brown’s tour drops with a very similar name.
🎟️ Brown announced the Breezy Bowl XX tour in March, just weeks after legal drama in London nearly halted his plans. Now, a different legal storm is brewing on home turf.
Breezy Swimwear argues that Brown’s controversial image and past legal run-ins are now being wrongly associated with their brand—and they’ve got receipts.
📲 Social Media Confusion? Fans Think Chris Is Coming to Their Event
CEO Kris Izquierdo says the company’s Instagram account has received numerous DMs from confused fans who believed Chris Brown would be appearing at their next Breezy Bowl event.
💬 “We’ve had people message us thinking Chris Brown was headlining our event,” said Izquierdo. “That confusion is exactly what we’re trying to stop.”
For a small brand with a local following and a mission rooted in female empowerment, being mistaken for a tour associated with Brown’s often polarizing name is more than just a branding issue—it’s a PR nightmare.
🚫 What They Want: A Total Shut Down of “Breezy” Merch
The lawsuit isn’t just for show. Breezy Swimwear is asking the court to:
- Order the destruction of all merchandise using the “Breezy” or “Breezy Bowl” name
- Block Chris Brown and Live Nation from using the terms on future products or promotions
- Protect the company’s brand identity and reputation from what they say is unfair association
🧨 The Bigger Picture: Celebrity Brands vs. Small Businesses
This lawsuit touches on a growing tension in entertainment and business: When big stars adopt common words or phrases, do they overshadow small, established brands?
Breezy Swimwear’s attorney argues that fame doesn’t equal ownership—especially not when livelihoods are on the line.
🧵 “This isn’t about clout—it’s about fairness,” says a rep for the company. “You can’t bulldoze someone’s brand just because your name holds weight in Hollywood.”
🎶 Meanwhile, The Show Goes On
Despite the legal storm, Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl XX kicked off as scheduled tonight in Miami. The singer, known for high-energy performances and a loyal fan base, has yet to publicly comment on the lawsuit.
Insiders say his team is “monitoring the situation,” but fans can expect the tour to move forward—for now.
⚖️ What’s Next?
This could be a drawn-out legal battle, especially if Brown refuses to rebrand mid-tour. A court date hasn’t been set, but Breezy Swimwear is making it clear: they’re not backing down.
đź’¬ Sound Off!
Should Chris Brown be forced to change the tour name? Or is “Breezy” fair game for a performer whose nickname has been around for years?
