Usher is suing his music producers and their attorney over a loan he gave them for a restaurant that never opened. The lawsuit, filed in Fulton County, involves Bryan-Michael Cox, Keith Thomas, Charles Hughes, and Alcide Honoré. The group proposed opening a restaurant called Homage ATL in Buckhead, but Usher ended up loaning them $1.7 million. The singer did not want to be an investor in the project.
