Meet The Black Gay Violinist Suing Will: Brian King Joseph, a talented Black violinist with blonde braids and a flair for blending classical music with hip-hop, never imagined his big break would turn into a nightmare. Invited to join Will Smith's Based on a True Story world tour after a stellar performance in San Diego in December 2024, Brian poured his heart into the music, sharing stages with the superstar and dreaming of lasting collaborations.Excitement built through early 2025 shows, but in March during a Las Vegas stop, terror struck. Returning to his hotel room, Brian discovered signs of an unauthorized entry: wipes, a beer bottle, a red backpack, an earring, hospital papers, and a chilling handwritten note—"Brian, I’ll be back… just us," signed "Stone F" with a heart. Heart pounding, he feared an intruder planned to return for unwanted sexual advances, convinced it tied to grooming by Smith himself.Reporting the intrusion to hotel staff, police, and tour managers, Brian expected support—instead, a manager shamed him and fired him on the spot, replacing him with another violinist. Devastated by retaliation, emotional distress, and lost opportunities, the openly gay artist filed a lawsuit on December 30, 2025, in Los Angeles Superior Court against Smith and Treyball Studios for sexual harassment, battery, wrongful termination, and more. Now speaking out on social media, Brian insists he's no "crazed fan" but a professional seeking justice amid online dismissal. As the case unfolds without a response from Smith, it spotlights power imbalances in Hollywood. Story By Donnell Ballard #StephenASmith #WillSmith #NolanSmith #BrianHarman #CelebrityStruggles
