Jimmie Allen is back with Delaware summer concert 2025. Here's what to know
Before saddling up to play Dover this summer, Delaware country star Jimmie Allen gave fans a Jay-Z-inspired message on Instagram: "I got 99 problems but a beer ain't one." Tickets are now on sale for Allen's concert at Bally's Dover Casino Resort on June 20. The lyrics Allen sang are from Justin Moore's 2024 song "Beer Ain't One" featuring Blake Shelton. (Justin Moore will play two nights at the Bottle & Cork in Dewey Beach on July 24-25.) Allen sang lyrics from "Beer Ain't One" during his performance on On The Radar Radio (OTRR). Allen posted a video clip to his IG account on April 28. OTRR is a popular brand with millions of subscribers across its social media platforms, and is known for hosting freestyles/live performances, including a performance from Taylor Swift's rapper friend Ice Spice. Allen's performance was part of OTRR country edition. The song choice was also a nod to Jay-Z 's song "99 Problems," from the early 2000s, which stated: "Ninety-nine problems, but a bi--h ain't one." Similar to Jay-Z, who was accused of sexual assault by a woman who dropped a lawsuit against him in February, Allen has had several women accuse him of assault, one of whom later agreed to drop the lawsuit. Allen hasn't faced any criminal charges, but the allegations took a toll on his career. The singer has yet to regain the level of success he once had, from co-hosting the ACM Awards alongside Dolly Parton to performing in stadiums. Here's a look at the Milton native's legal troubles. Jimmie Allen timeline of legal drama: For sexual assault lawsuits filed against him Allen's ex-manager, known in court documents as "Jane Doe," sued him in May 2023, alleging that he regularly sexually abused and harassed her while she was his day-to-day manager from 2020 to 2022. Less than a month after the first woman accused Allen of assault, a second woman filed a lawsuit against the singer, accusing him of sexually assaulting her in a Las Vegas hotel room and recording the encounter without her consent in July 2022. Allen responded with a countersuit against both women in July 2023. The singer filed the suits to "protect my reputation and refute these claims that have caused severe damage to my family, mental health and business," he told People in a statement. In March 2024, Allen and his former manager agreed to drop their lawsuits against each other, The Tennessean reported. At that time, one of the plaintiff's lawyers, Beth Fegan at Chicago firm FeganScott, confirmed the decision. "FeganScott can confirm that Jane Doe and Jimmie Allen have reached a mutual accord as to Plaintiff's claims and Mr. Allen's counterclaims and have agreed to dismiss them. The decision reflects only that both parties desire to move past litigation," a statement from the law firm read in part. In a second statement, The Tennessean reported that Fegan reiterated that "my client stands by her statements in the complaint, that Allen raped her while she was incapacitated and sexually abused her while she was his day-to-day manager." Additionally, "Jane Doe entered into a settlement agreement with Jimmie Allen to avoid the trauma of reliving her abuse over the course of a painful trial," the statement read in part. The Tennessean reported in March 2024 that the former manager wasn't dropping her claims against the artist management company that hired her, Wide Open Music, and its founder, Ash Bowers, accusing him of knowingly failing to protect her after learning about the alleged abuse. After the second accuser came forward, Allen's record label dropped him. His talent agency and publicity firm also dropped the one-time Country Music Association New Artist of the Year, who was fresh off the road from an arena tour opening for Carrie Underwood when the accusations hit. Allen disappeared from the airwaves and already-scheduled concerts were canceled. But there were some Delaware venues that didn't turn its back on the multiplatinum-selling country star. Amidst the assault allegations, Allen has performed at spots in lower Delaware like the Bottle & Cork and Rusty Rudder, (along with a surprise appearance at the Paradise Grill), and he participated in local charity events and tried out his stand-up comedy at the Milton Theater. Allen's next home show will take place this summer at Bally's Dover Casino Resort — a departure from his usual concerts farther south in the state that offer a beach and bar vibe. The Dover location holds personal significance since Allen once briefly was a student at Delaware State University, before he became famous. The concert is at Bally's Dover Casino Resort (1131 N. Dupont Highway, Dover) at 9 p.m. June 20. Tickets are $75-$150. For more info, visit News Journal reporter Ryan Cormier contributed to this report.
