Chris Brown and Tyga have teamed up once again with “Ayo,” and while the lyrics had mixed reviews since day one, now some people are furious about the music video.

Since dropping the video, many have taken to social media to slam both artists because they feel the video is disrespectful towards black women.

So why are some feeling the video is shady? Well for starters, the only black woman in the video is reduced to giving comedian Mike Epps “head” in a car and he later snatches off her wig. Meanwhile Chris and Tyga continue to pose and dance around a group of non black women with long hair as they sing about preferring women with real hair.

Take a look at video and tell us where you stand.

  1. Wait! Is that a trick question? Cuz from where I sit, neither Chris or Tyga have ever done anything respectful for the black women that make up a majority of their fan base. Throwing it in their faces that they prefer the Karrueches, and Kylie Jenners of this world is just one more indication of their true feelingsdisdain for black women. I told y’all from day 1 that Chris wasn’t sh-t, and I will NEVER support that negro in life again! Tyga is just a tiny footnote in history, I could care less about that pedophile!

  2. Chile Chris has crapped on black women plenty and some of them will still ride for him. So it is what it is. All I know is he won’t be getting anymore of my coins.

  3. But is anyone still really supporting Chris and Tyga though? Chris’ last album flopped hard. And Tyga is only relevant when he’s poking underaged Kylie Jenner.

  4. I think Chris hates all women to be honest. And it all starts with his issues with his own mother. Why he still has female fans, I’ll never understand.

  5. Chris Brown is trash PERIOD. He seems to have a hatred for black women. It baffles me that he still has fan’s, most of which are women and they constantly make excuses for his sh-tty behavior. I was done with Chris Brown after he beat Rihanna, called Robin Roberts a black b-tch and broke out the window at GMA studio. I would never spend my coins on that disrespectful idiot.

  6. Chris and Tyga are so dumb. Black women aren’t the only women who wear weaves. And contrary to belief, we can grow long hair. Idiots. Both of them.

  7. This is just so blatant. Why are we always be attacked by our own men? I didn’t see any Kim Kardashians, Karrueches or Kylies out there protesting when Mike Brown was murdered! It was just us! We always stand by our men and look how they do us. Trash!!!!

  8. The song sucks and the video is very disrespectful but Chris does this because he knows he can. After he beat up Rihanna, his fans were defending him and blaming her. They have issues.

  9. This era of R&B music is terrible. I can’t distinguish if these “singers” are supposed to be singing or rapping. For Chris to claim he wants to be in the same sentence as Michael Jackson and James Brown, his music continues to decline.

    Now, looking at the video, I can see why black women are offended. Chris and Tyga are basically agreeing with the distorted images the media continues to push about black women. Why are they singing about real hair, when the natural hair movement is taking off in our community? This is just ignorant.

    I hope his black female fans wake up.

  10. Chris’ mother and father failed him. I have nothing to say about Tyga because I don’t expect much from any grown man who dates a 17 year old.

  11. But Tyga… While you are degrading black women your underage girlfriend is busy injecting her lips trying to have them fuller like a black woman’s. Your so called girlfriend’s sisters are busy transferring fat to their a*sses to they can have a black woman’s butt! The Irony!

  12. I’m not mad because I know none of his fans will hold him responsible? So he will continue to call them bald headed b-tches and hoes. He’s always been abusive to his fans and will continue to be.

  13. You know what, why blame the artist…It is the women who show up for these jobs. They pay the little money. They get their 1 minute of video vixen fame and they are fine with it so why is everyone mad. There are all type of women in the world and not one of them are there to represent you as a woman. As a woman, you make your own decision of how you want to be represented or portrayed. Hell there are songs that call women B***hes and women are shaking their azz like the record speaks to them. Why do these artist need to change their behavior when the women accepts the behavior. Don’t shoot the messenger…Choices!

  14. This is why Chris will never reach Michael Jackson status. He has talent but he’s investing it in the wrong places and sending the wrong messages with his lyrics. This video does what many others have done for years…which is why I stopped watching music videos a long time ago. I don’t feel offended because it doesn’t represent me…and I don’t support them. However, we (and I mean that collectively) need to do better.

  15. I’m glad to see most of y’all are waking up. Continue to speak with your wallets and don’t spend a dime on these fools.

  16. I didn’t even know he had a song out…TRASH. F-ck him, f-ck his fans, and the dumb b-tches trying to defend this sh-t. Some black women stay trying to blame black women for the dumb sh-t these self hating fools do. A man is always responsible of this own actions. If you have a father in your life, you’d know that already.
