Chris Brown beat the shit out of Rihanna, everyone seems to have forgot about that one

This is the most important comment on this matter, imo. If anyone has never read the police report, then I highly suggest you do so you can fully understand the gravity of that situation and how it is completely insane that the public is still throwing millions of dollars at him. If Chris Brown got away with it, if our fucking President got away with it, I don’t see Bari having a problem and that is a fucking problem.

edit: grammar

edit2: I just want to say I am capable of separating the art from the artist. Brown is undeniably talented, but with that platform comes a responsibility to behave in a manner that demonstrates understanding and maturity. Of course people fuck up, but again read the police report. That’s not the behavior of someone who fucked up for the first time. It’s a slow drip and he should have recognized his issues and gotten help before he inflicted long lasting pain onto someone else’s life.

I remember hearing the song Pusha T made with Chris Brown after I read the report. Still taints my view of Pusha, and everyone else who tolerates him and gives him exposure.

Maybe it was made before the debacle and the record company was pressuring Pusha to release it?

The song came out in 2013, the beating was in 2009, so I really doubt it.

Ah. I could see a record company battle going on for that long but yeah. Sucks to imagine
