‘Run It’ hitmaker Chris Brown may have seen his name run to the top of global headlines over the weekend for stunning concert that was part of the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but his time in the United Arab Emirates would see the GRAMMY winner run right into controversy due to partying with Kanye West.
Details inside.
Kanye continues to face backlash for his new song, ‘Vultures‘ (released November 24) in which he raps, “How I’m antisemitic? I just f-cked a Jewish b-tch.”
While in Dubai enjoying the festivities, the fashion-music mogul linked with Chris at an event and the two grooved to the controversial tune alongside other partygoers.
The display quickly triggered widespread condemnation on social media, garnering reactions from activists, fans, and industry critics alike.
As the firestorm grew, Brown took to Instagram on Sunday (November 26) to address the hoopla.
“In no way, shape, or form am I antiSemitic,” he said to his 144 million followers on the platform. “Im pro-life and I make music for the entire world! So, please do not get tricked into thinking I spread hate or am kool with it.”
At writing, West nor $ign have addressed the growing blowback.
