    i dont approve of wut chris did i dont appprove of ne man puttin his hands on ne woman, nor do i approve of ne WOMAN puttin her hands on ne MAN…even if she did hit first there was no reason 2 beat her lyk that…i wish everybody would leave it alone tho we all make mistakes i think tha reason this upsets so many ppl is bc we put celebrities on these pedastals lyk they’re perfect..THEY R HUMAN 2 AND THEY’RE GONNA MAKE MISTAKES in tha end if she wants 2 take him back thats their business they dont have 2 answer 2 ne of us…hell i dont hate tha boy i dont even know him

    Well I just read the police affidavit. I know that its pretty much her version of what happend, but the physical proof backs up the story, so if you can read that and STILL defend that clown you’re an idiot. I despise that dude, and if they get back together I’ll have to despise her, too. Thats all I have to say.

    White man..Black man..dont put your effing hand on a woman period!!! No excuses..and to take up for someone who does that, make you even more worst than the abuser himself.

    I’m tired of the Afro-Americans giving the women beaters a easy off. I’m a Father of three Afro-American daughters, and I wish a black boy like him would touch one of mines. Chris Brown you are a COWARD

  • 3-5-2009 4:20 pm

    White media is always out to tear down black men…If this was Justin Timberlake, you wouldn’t hear a d**mn thing. Chris Brown is a young man..he made a mistake..I’m sure Rihanna wasn’t innocent in all this. They like to keep us fighting amongst ourselves…Please drop this subject. They are together anyway…why are people still talking about this????

    There was a time when I supported a particular comment made by Kanye West… . In light of this most recent… man, you are a total idiot and a fake ass entertainer. You have no skills with regard to music or entertainment, and your perspective on life is sold out and distorted.

    Honestly its a hard battle to say none the least but people need to realize that these people are actual people with problems, and honestly it has nothing to do with a “mac daddy mentality as one called it” it’s deeper than that more of a mental problem, secondly you don’t know what happened, not saying that its right she may have gotten her butt beat but as the story goes she had alot to with the reason behind being slapped around a bit she through some blows as well not everyone can calm their nerves and he may have blacked-out and revisted his past with a slap, you don’t know what went on and his mind, Which it is wrong but it’s reality people need to let it go and let them deal with it, Im sure kayne isn’t saying oh its okay but he’s tired of hearing about it just like I am now think about it he gets interviewed probably a few times a day and you know they are all asking the same question how do you feel about what chris did to rhianna over and over again, damn it is a shame, but to be real its not a big deal, now on rhianna’s behalf what is she gonna do take him back what??, which we all would say NO but once again yal don’t KNOW these people, yal think you do, pleanty of times we all take some loser back that may not have hit us, maybe he cheated on us , or stole from us just as much danger just as much disreguard, if not more and he is forgiven, people make mistakes all the time one is no more hurtful than another so damn let it go, and right people like OJ or others slightly let off the hook I mean damn its not saying o its ok he’s chris brown but we don’t need blow by blow (no pun intended) coverage on this bulls**t, let’s talk about how the police is beating ngas a$$ on a daily how bout that

    Why is it that we Afro-Americans will be rady to whoop some @#@ if someone disrespects our MOTHERS, or hurts our SISTERS but downplay it when others humiliate their mates? I remember growing up as a child of 6-7 seeing my Granny get beat by her lover Mr.Joe.Or Mr.Donny getting drunk and beating Miss Mary half died, then run and jump in the creek to get away from the cops.That embossed a belief in me that is the ESSENCE of my relationships with Woman today.If I have to hit them,I don’t need them!!That Mack Daddy mentallity is played out.Brothers get yourselves together finacially,mentally, and spiritually and you would not feel INFERIOR (In fear of her)to that Lady because she might make more money,have a nicer clothes,drive a nicer car,or eat without dropping @#%% on the floor!! Although there are Woman that whip Brothers behinds too, that does not make it right either. Remember one thing,we all have to sleep and Strange things can happen when you sleep, and one day that pain and suffering will end one way or another. Those woman that take their Boys back are either into SM,have a low selfesteem,or believe he’s the s@%%t and she can’t find another one to beat her like that!! Strange how they consider themselves men and are still BOYS!! This isn’t something new and Rihanna is just one of the millions of women that live this daily hell until either they are killed our learn to LOVE THEMSELVES enough to leave that pain and move on.Peace

    Why is everybody recting so harsh towards Chris Brown? Nobody gave this much attention to Bobby when he was Whoopin Whitney’s A**. What about Ike and Tina? Give this man a break, everybody makes mistakes, and nobody knows exactly how the situation went down. There is a reason Rihanna took him back, maybe she jumped the whole thing off. Just something to think about.

    If the herpes story is true he might have given it to her or got it from someone ELSE. THAT’S WHY THEY SALE CONDOM OR USE THE WORD ABSENT. How bout that!

    And for the creek that said she should accept what ever his reaction was, I KNOW YOU GOT A MAMA,GRANDMA,SISTER or AUNT.

    YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN YOU SHOULD WAIT TO HAVE SEX, LET THIS BE A LESSON FOR E’RBODY. You are to young for all this drama to be in your life.

    Kanye, who cares what he says. Kanye is so confused and loss. He needs to get his own life together. No one is listening to him. He is a loss soul

  • 3-3-2009 9:46 am

    The simple point of the matter is, both Chris and Rihanna are young. When I was there age I had what the courts called “mutual combat” with my then serious boyfriend. As we begin to grow into adulthood we learn that fighting is not the answer to everything. Whether you fight or you see someone else fighting and learn from their mistakes. HOWEVER I WILL SAY THIS…In all my “fights” my boyfriend never EVER hit me in the face with his fist. EVER… I hear some of ya’ll say that she pushed him.. and she may well have, but MEN PLEASE! Let me ask you this. If you child kicked you in the balls, and it hurt like hell would you really bust their lip dot their eyes, and put knots the size of horns upside the kid’s head? No… you’d be able to stop yourself because you love your child. My point is if he truly loved her, he would’ve been able to snap out of the rage and realize the way he was hurting her. If she decides to get back with him that’s her business… I really hope it doesn’t kill her.

  • 3-3-2009 7:31 am

    Oh yeah and two did we not right for equal rights women now Im not saying it was right for the hitting but women please stop acting like we are so d@#! Helpless. Maybe she hit him in his balls we dont know and until it comes out lets just drop the whole thing
    PLEASE!!!!

  • 3-3-2009 7:27 am

    You know what is so stupid when people jump in to assumeto know whats going on in someone elses relationship kanye was and is right and if she took him back that means she loves him and the rest of the world should move on.

  • 3-2-2009 8:28 am

    NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION WAS, CHRIS BROWN SHOULDN’T HAVE BEAT HER. NONE OF US KNOWS WHAT THE STORY BEHIND IT IS. WE DON’T KNOW IF SHE GAVE HIM HERPES, AND IF SHE DID, DO YOU REALLY THINK HE WOULD WANT TO BE BACK WITH HER.

  • 3-1-2009 8:58 pm

    WOW YALL SAY HE’S CRAZED WOW, CHECK EVERYONE HANGING ON HIS WORDS, “BUSH DOESN’T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE” THINGS THAT IS NEEDED TO BE SAID THIS IS MORE THAN RAP-HIP HOP. COMMUNICATION IS RAMPID LIKE NEVER BEFORE. DO YALL NEGATIVE VIEWS OF THIS ICON IS CALLED HATERATION. DAMN ALL THESE HATERS? OKAYEEEE, NO MORE KANYE FOR YALL.

  • 3-1-2009 8:55 pm

    okay none of yall never listen to or nod ya heads to no more of kanye’s music haaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa yall gone be atthe club lonely has hell haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • 3-1-2009 2:25 pm

    kanye is seeking more attention (thats all). i think his success is swelling his big head even more. praising chris brown for beating up another woman is shameless he must have forgotten that he had a mother (god bless her) and ofcourse we all know that o.j. simpson is responsible for those murders. KANYE YOUR”E A A$$HOLE !!!

  • 3-1-2009 12:57 pm

    kanye is not the dumb ass, the dumb ass is whoeva misunderstands the comment he made on the subject at hand. he is not saying OJ is amazing, nor is he defending him. wat he is sayn is amazing is wat he did, wen he did wat he did. which i thnk means it is amazing that a blck man in those times got away with killing a white women. neways none of us really know wat went dwn with rihanna and chris so we still cant choose side or pass judgement. u feel me, bcuz i’ve heard so many different stories about the situation. still, regardless of wat chris hit rihanna ova..it was wrong. BUT depending on wat rihanna did, the situation may be more understandable.

  • 2-28-2009 5:31 pm

    man f@#k all that. she gave the nigga herpes. there shud b a cosequence for doin f**ked up s**t. what, was he jus pose to b mad with umps onb his dick? f**k that. i feel’em. until everybodey find sum bumps on there balls n we all get to watch everyones actions……….. noone can say he wrong. she shudve accepted wateva his reaction was and been a woman bout it cuz she did sum f**ked up s**t.
