Chris Brown is currently embroiled in a significant legal battle, as a Miami business owner has initiated a lawsuit alleging that the name of Breezy’s “Breezy Bowl XX” tour infringes on his established trademark. Kris Izquierdo, the CEO of Breezy Swim, asserts that he has been using the “Breezy” name for his runway fashion show since 2023 and is now pursuing legal action against Brown, Live Nation, and other involved parties. Here’s a detailed look at the unfolding events…

Understanding the Lawsuit Against Chris Brown for Alleged Trademark Infringement
The lawsuit emerged as Brown kicked off the U.S. leg of his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour in Miami on July 30. Izquierdo, the founder of Breezy Swimwear, submitted a comprehensive 17-page complaint in federal court, accusing Brown, Live Nation, and other associates of trademark infringement. Izquierdo claims that his company has held the “Breezy” trademark since 2018 and launched the “Breezy Bowl” runway show in 2023, which promotes body positivity with its slogan “Every Body is a Bikini Body.” This event aims to encourage self-love and confidence among individuals of all shapes and sizes.
Moreover, the lawsuit contends that Brown’s tour name and associated swimwear merchandise—such as “Team Breezy” bikinis and “Breezy Bowl XX” swimsuits—are causing significant confusion among fans, which could potentially dilute the identity and reputation of Izquierdo’s brand.
Kris Izquierdo Expresses Concerns Over Chris Brown’s Tour Name
In a revealing interview with Local 10, Izquierdo shared his conflicted feelings regarding the situation. “I was confused,” he expressed, adding, “I’m like, ‘Should I be happy, excited, mad, angry?’ It’s just a little unfortunate that someone with so many resources wouldn’t have done their due diligence to know that.” Izquierdo is seeking a jury trial but remains open to a reasonable resolution, ideally envisioning a partnership with Brown that would resolve the dispute amicably.
Additionally, his attorney, John Hoover, emphasized the striking coincidence that not only does Brown’s tour share the same name, but it also hosted an afterparty at LIV Nightclub—the same venue where Izquierdo’s Breezy Bowl event was held last year. This overlap raises questions about the intent and awareness behind the branding choices made by Brown and his team.
“There’s only so many words in the English language, but to pick the exact two, and choose to launch your show in the same city, even have your afterparty at the same venue where the last Breezy Bowl was held, there’s a lot of overlap there that doesn’t make sense,” Hoover stated, highlighting the peculiarities surrounding the case.

“Other than that, PLEASE BE HUMBLE. I got 1000000 percent for yall. So let me be clear and understanding. BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO TURN INTO BHRIS BROWN FOR A SEC…LOVE YALL AND CANT WAIT TO SEE ALL OF YOU,” he stated passionately, seeking to reassure his fans.
The intricate set design, intended to celebrate two decades of his illustrious career, featured larger-than-life visuals that complemented his dynamic performances. Nevertheless, the statues sparked considerable backlash on TikTok, prompting Brown to announce that he would be making adjustments to the set design to ensure that attendees would not face similar issues in future shows.
