Overview
- In a Nov. 9 Fulton County filing, Usher asked the court to sanction Atlanta attorney Alcide Honoré, strike his defenses and enter a default judgment to establish liability so damages can be decided.
- Court documents cited by Usher include a wire confirmation showing $1.7 million sent from The UR Trust to “Honore Law LLC Trust” with the memo “Loan - New Club Opening” and bank records tracing later transfers from that trust.
- Usher says he received $1 million back in August 2025 but has not been repaid the remaining $700,000 from the loan intended to fund the Homage ATL restaurant project.
- Honoré denies being deposited the funds, and Usher’s lawyers call that denial false while accusing Honoré of providing evasive, incomplete answers and ignoring a Sept. 28 court order to account for the money.
- The court has not yet granted sanctions or a default; if granted, liability would be decided first with damages and legal fees determined later and the decision could shape recovery for Usher and the unresolved Homage ATL venture.
