Britain Blanks Chris Brown
Chris Brown once was on top of his game, his pop/RnB song “With you” released in 2008 showed a gentler side to the American singer winning the hearts of thousands of females across the globe. Brown managed to connect with the male fan base with his “Run It” video, which showed off Chris’s break dancing talent causing him to be an idol for both the younger and older generation.
When Chris started a relationship with Bajan (Barbados) beauty, Rihanna Brown’s fan based increased. The talented couple were spotted everywhere together and to most it seemed that they were made for each other. But as the couples fan based increased, so did Chris’s temper.
As the pressure of celeb lifestyle caught up with the pair, it was reported that Rihanna found explicit text messages on the RnB’s singer phone. Rihanna naturally questioned Chris about these texts which led to a physical argument in which the “disturbua" singer was left with visible wounds from the assault. The star later told police this was not the first time she had been attacked by Mr. Brown.
Police arrested Chris who pleaded guilty to the charges. He faced 180 days community service and was told to stay away from RhiRhi as fans affectionately call her for 5 years. He was also advised to get some help with his obvious anger issues. Although the teen pin up did attempt to reconcile with Rihanna friends and family of the pop princess stopped this from happening. As fans came to term with the shocking news, Chris attempted to put anger issues aside, focusing instead on a tour of the UK which he hoped would win back some fans that he undoubtedly lost.
But luck is definitely not on Browns side. He was denied a visa which would allow him to work in the UK. According to British authorities, Brown’s visa was rejected because he was guilty of a “serious criminal offense.”
In a statement, the British Home Office said: “We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offence. Public safety is one of our primary concerns…each application to enter the UK is considered on its individual merits.”
Tour promoters have urged fans to hold on to the tickets, claiming the tour could possibly happen as a later date.
But for the time being, at least in Britain anyway we’re doing “Just Fine” without you Chris!
