Overview
- Usher filed a Fulton County Superior Court complaint naming Bryan‑Michael Cox, Keith Thomas, Charles Hughes, and attorney Alcide Honoré over financing tied to the proposed Homage ATL venue.
- According to the filing, Usher wired $1.7 million in January to Honoré’s trust account for a planned purchase of 3102 Piedmont Road in Buckhead, the former Ocean Prime site.
- Usher alleges he received $1 million back in August and that $700,000 remains outstanding, asserting the funds were a loan rather than an equity investment.
- The complaint seeks $4.9 million in damages across seven claims and quotes Honoré as saying repayment was difficult because money had been used for other purposes.
- As of the latest reports, no formal responses had been filed by the defendants, and Cox issued a statement calling himself a passive minority shareholder who did not participate in the transaction.
