Chris Brown coming to Canada still despite all the controversy? More drama surrounding the sponsors for Chris Brown’s upcoming concert in Canada? As we reported recently, Breezy has found himself the target of yet another controversy. The singer is scheduled to perform in Canada for the Energy Rush concert, but after many began to protest against his upcoming appearance, sponsors began to withdraw support. In particular, so far the concert has lost four major sponsors as a result of the ongoing protests, and even the city’s mayor expressed his disgust for Chris performing. The protests of course are a result of Chris assaulting on and off again girlfriend Rihanna, but the company that was in charge of putting together the concert said in a recent statement to the press it is standing by the singer.
However, if there’s any kind of truth to a new report from All Hip Hop, they too may be in the process of severing ties with Chris Brown and dumping him all together from the show. Illseed reports:
…From what I hear, some women’s groups in Canada have started to boycott Chris based on the violence against Rihanna. But, if they were fair, they would be boycotting others as well. But, the truth is, the sponsors are leaving at other shows in Canada and that means BIG money. Four sponsors have dropped out of supporting a festival in Halifax. That’s four sponsors and about 12,000 protesters. Houston, we have a problem. Right now, I am hearing that Brown is still on for the show, but, a source in Canada tells me they are trying to wrangle sponsors back in hopes that they can get their money. If they can, they are rumored to be considering dumping Breezy.
Ugh people get a life!!!
These people are just doing too much.
If only they protested this hard against real issues.
SMDH. I swear people won’t be happy until Chris is dead or on jail.
I’m just so disgusted people nowadays it’s ridiculous.
Lord have mercy…
All this for Rihanna and she doesn’t even care anymore. Crazy.
So Canada is just as stupid and hypocritical as the US. How disappointing.
Agreed.
LOL!!!
Let me go ahead and shut you down real quick stop worrying and laughing about CB worry about Rihanna getting booed by her own fans getting chips thrown at her and fans chanting for Beyonce at a Rihanna concert because she is so much of a mess and doesn’t even care about her fans enough to show up on time . So worry about Rihanna shortcomings before you try clowning.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Ridiculous. I guess he’s supposed to give up his career for one incident huh?
Damn.
Chris Made His Bed Hard And Now He’s Got To Lay In It. I Believe In Second Chances But Im Not Convinced He’s Learned Anything. It’s About Time He’s Met Some Real Adversity. I Can’t Stand Rihanna But If Chris Was An Average Black Man He’D Be Locked Up. …Still. As A Former Fan, I Sick Of Him And The Sympathy Card.
