Chris Brown has had enough of being cancel culture’s favorite target because of his past mistakes. Everyone remembers the domestic incident that occurred between Brown and his ex-girlfriend Rihanna but will he ever be able to move beyond that dark shadow? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The R&B sensation began trending on Twitter after Chloe Bailey announced their collaboration for their new single How Does It Feel and of course, everyone had to share their opinions on her decision to work with him. Kieley Williams of 3LW voiced her opinion which sparked Brown\u2019s unfiltered Instagram rant tweeting: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLet him come out with his own record\u2013 so genius, so captivating that makes us all forget HE BEATS WOMEN. He can\u2019t so he won’t. So what does he do?\u201d Williams said. \u201cHe slowly creeps back into the mainstream by getting small nods for features on Black Women\u2019s merit. Black women who are more talented, more worthy, but give him the okay\u201d. <\/p>\nKiely williams<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Although Breezy is currently on tour overseas he decided to address this ongoing issue on his Instagram story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If y\u2019all still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17-year-old, please kiss my whole entire a**. I\u2019m fucking 33. I\u2019m so tired of y\u2019all running with this narrative.\u201d Brown wrote. \u201cYou weird a** n*ggas are the same ones that tune in every week to see Blueface and Chrisean beat the f**k out each other in front of the world. But that\u2019s ok? It\u2019s entertainment?\u201d<\/p>\nChris brown<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As a human being, it is not hard to understand his frustration of being tied to his past mistakes and alleged incidents while others openly receive praise and success for doing the same things. This is where the discrepancy with cancel culture occurs, everyone isn\u2019t privy to the same rules and outcomes of being \u201ccanceled\u201d. Brown spoke about this in his rant as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhere are the cancel culture with these white artists that date underage women, beat the f**k out their wives, giving b*tches AIDS?” Chris Brown<\/a> went on. “Oh, that\u2019s right. They are your buddies. No more fake love from me. Stay out my way or get ran over. Simple as that. None of you, and I mean none of you n*ggas, can f**k wit me.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Although his delivery wasn\u2019t the best there is much truth to this statement. Countless public figures have engaged in wrongdoing, including domestic violence situations and yet we frequently overlook them and continue to support their works of art without hesitation. Why is that? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the assault case with Rihanna in 2009, Brown undoubtedly suffered the strongest type of cancellation possible when he was expelled from various countries. The artist was mocked throughout all forms of media even though social media hadn’t yet reached the heights of popularity that would soon appear. Making it almost impossible for him to reach the heights that we know his talents deserve to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his Netflix documentary \u201cWelcome to My Life\u201d he was very transparent about the incident and took full accountability for his actions. This speaks volumes about his understanding of the damage done and his growth as a man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the backlash and negative energy Chris Brown has received since the incident occurred, he continues to push forward and make music for the fans who have forgiven him. Despite the negativity, we can all learn something about forgiveness and persistence from Brown’s cancel culture experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a true story of persistence, determination, and passion for his craft as he has faced several disappointing moments that could have caused him to throw in the towel with music. From the AMA\u2019s canceling his Michael Jackson tribute for unknown reasons to not being invited to or nominated for any awards for over 10 years, Brown shows us that he will not stop no matter how long the odds may be against him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, the idea of cancel culture is one that doesn’t actually function all that well. Certainly, there are millions of individuals who will criticize a celebrity online, but how much of that is fake and are there enough people who care? Although we may deplatform, it then becomes a slippery slope as to who deserves to suffer that fate, and it is obvious that no one will ever agree across the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are still many die-hard fans and fellow artists who continue to genuinely support him to the fullest, but we can all see that his career will forever be severely affected. In 2020, Rihanna revealed that she\u2019d forgiven Chris and if she can forgive him then why can\u2019t we? No one should be punished forever for a dark season in life because we all experience them. Those seasons shouldn\u2019t define who we are but instead, mold us into who we need to become. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
