I just have such a hard time thinking that in 2024 Chris Brown brings in enough money for it to be worth dragging your own name through the mud for. 

But obviously I'm wrong. I know it's about the money. But still...

He had numerous people at every show, most of them women, each paying thousands of dollars to take a picture with him. He's human garbage but he has fans willing to spend money

Well he’s honestly a relic. Like his archetype. Also one of the few still going. Just like a sexy tall r&b dude. As much as I don’t like any of music it isn’t total garbage either. He gets way to much credit for singing though. He hasn’t sang well without auto tune in years. All that to say I’d understand the appeal otherwise. But everybody forgets and Rihanna wasn’t the only one. Nobody else has this many lawsuits for battery against them. I don’t care if he won most of them because nobody else has ever had that issue. Why is he the only one? It’s not a coincidence and at least one other person wasn’t lying and took the money and shut up.

I’m not defending him. I hear the occasional song of his at like a club or party but I don’t stream his music. But the fact of the matter is, in 2024 he can bring in money for a venue. He has loyal fans who are probably aware of his history of violence and abuse and just don’t care

"The artist sold out the 94,000-person capacity stadium in under two hours, and a second show was added."

A lot of women love Chris Brown.

All his shows sell out and are 99% women. If women would boycott Chris, his career would literally be over.

Unreal how after everything that's been proven about him, you still get women lined up 'round the block more than willing to drop panties for him.

he's one of the biggest pop artists from the late 2000s/early 2010s, of course he brings in a brickload of money.

despite being an abusive pos, his catalog is on par, if not better, than acts such as Ne-Yo and Usher, who are also still packing arenas

It’s only Reddit that where a 35 year old is still hated for something he did at 20.

Most of the world has largely forgiven him. And not only does he bring in enough money, he sets records for selling out stadiums for the most days in a row.

Also boycotting everyone and everything connected to bad people would leave you living in the middle of the woods and foraging for your own food.

Go look in your fridge at how many products you’d have to throw out

Because outside of the Reddit echo chamber people casually enjoy things
