During NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles this February, Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown hosted a private panel event on Saturday, February 14, to promote his 741 Performance brand at a Beverly Hills residence owned by Oakley founder Jim Jannard in the Trousdale neighborhood. Guests included former NBA player Andre Iguodala and other figures.

Around 7 p.m., Beverly Hills police arrived and ended the gathering, citing the absence of a required permit. Brown, who was live on Twitch, engaged with the authorities and conveyed his bewilderment, emphasizing the private, non-disruptive character of the invitation-only occasion.

City representatives initially stated that a permit had been sought and rejected because of past violations at the address. Brown disputed this right away, stating the claim did not match reality as no such filing took place for the residential event.

On Thursday, the city issued an updated account admitting inaccuracies in the first version. It clarified that no permit application was made and the home had no violation history on file. The city manager apologized for the incorrect details provided earlier.

In a statement published to social media on Friday responding to the city's apology, Brown welcomed the revision but observed that the shutdown had produced notable financial setbacks, plus embarrassment for himself and his brand. He mentioned discussing further steps, such as legal pursuit, with his team over the coming days.
