Chris Brown‘s meet and greets with his fans have been the subject of countless viral posts online, though not all of them have been truthful.
On Sunday (June 30), a social-media user who goes by Lushotz shared images of a woman on crutches meeting with the R&B singer and wrote: “This woman paid $1,111 for a ‘Meet & Greet’ with Chris Brown. When he saw her, refunded her money and also gave her an extra $10k, along with these beautiful pictures.”
Not long after the post began making the rounds online, the person in the photographs uploaded a video to dispute the the story.
“I’m just here to set the record straight,” she said. “What I’m not okay with is strangers on the internet using my face and exploiting my disability for likes and clicks while spreading misinformation. That we not gonna do. Just like everyone else, I support Chris as a brand and as an individual, so if you see me at a show or meet and greet, please know that I paid for my ticket. I paid to get there.
“This going around takes away from everything that I personally did to get there. It takes away from the hours I work. It takes away from the things that I sacrificed to work the overtime because I wanted to treat myself.”
Brown’s popularity in the entertainment circuit is tough to dispute. To that point, Fat Joe recently praised the superstar and even compared him to Michael Jackson.
The Bronx rapper took to Instagram Live last month to give Breezy his flowers, claiming he’d be put on a high pedestal if it wasn’t for his domestic violence case involving Rihanna back in 2009.
“If Chris Brown never got into the controversy with Rihanna, we would be calling him Michael Jackson right now,” he said. “Not like Michael Jackson — Michael Jackson. He is the most talented singer, artist, performer, hitmaker of our time.
“There’s nobody even close to Chris Brown, and it’s time we move past it. It’s been 20-something years that I know of — there’s no more incidents. We gon’ let this lifetime go by without saying the truth?”
He added: “What happens is, when the truth is an unpopular decision, everybody gets scared to say it. They get canceled, especially famous people. But you know, the streets … they know what it is. Streets always know, they tell you the truth.”
Fat Joe also claimed the “streets” are still listening to R. Kelly despite the Chicago native being sentenced to 20 years in prison for child sexual abuse.
