Usher Sues Bryan-Michael Cox, Others Over Unpaid Restaurant Loan, Seeks $4.9 Million

The complaint centers on money routed to an attorney’s trust account that was allegedly diverted from the planned Buckhead property purchase.

Overview

  • Usher filed a Fulton County Superior Court lawsuit naming producer Bryan-Michael Cox, Keith Thomas, Charles Hughes, and attorney Alcide Honoré.
  • Court filings say Usher loaned $1.7 million in January for the Homage ATL project at 3102 Piedmont Road rather than taking an equity stake.
  • After the property purchase failed to close, $1 million was repaid in August, leaving $700,000 outstanding according to the suit.
  • The complaint alleges Honoré said repaying the balance was “not that easy” because funds had been used for “other purposes.”
  • Usher seeks $4.9 million in damages across seven claims; the defendants had not filed formal responses as of the latest reports.
