- South Africa: Chris Brown Concert To Be Cancelled Amid Gender Violence Debate? | Firstpost Africa
Chris Brown’s upcoming concert in South Africa has sparked controversy due to his history of domestic violence, with activists calling it a harmful message in a country grappling with high rates of gender-based violence (GBV). Despite selling out tickets for his Johannesburg performance within hours, Women for Change, an advocacy group, has launched a petition to stop the event, highlighting the dissonance between his fame and his violent past. While some fans and public figures defend their right to enjoy his music, critics argue that hosting a performer with such a history undermines efforts to address South Africa’s GBV crisis. In 2009, the Grammy winner pleaded guilty to felony assault of singer Rihanna. Watch the video to know more.

As a South African I understand where this is coming from. But let's be honest, canceling the show will not solve SA's Gender Based Violence (GBV) issues.
That’s about as frank as it can get. We can’t cry wolf if we don’t do anything within our borders. We can’t complain about other people’s houses, when our houses are falling apart
nobody ever claimed it would
@@AyandaLembede I know that.
@@blessly0882 ok so stop commenting nonsense then
@@AyandaLembede Oky👍🏽
The same energy can be used to free the country from these politicians instead they are wasting it 😢
As in, missed placed priority
it's sad that you think being in solidarity with women is a waste of time.
They do. But look up the word oppression. Study the history of the country first and see what happens when they speak out.
They do. Look up the word oppression and see what happens when they speak out.
Guys let not get this wrong,we the citizens don't care about breezy private life,it these so called activist that has issues wit breezy not his fan's
No he didn't "divide" us
They just mad they couldn't get a ticket
Very insensitive comment
They ain't lying though!
Yup.
@@TheMwendaabut they are though.
The show will not be cancelled..The people have spoken
Just hope that that NGO doesn't pull a stant by getting it right that DOHA denies Chris Brown visa.
@@MissSlendathey will have to pay that money back chris is paid they can’t break a contract like that. So either way he win he got paid.
The activists should use the same energy to improve Africa's economy
This is childish. We acknowledge women and their rights must be protceted. But everyone has a past and none of you are angels, yes you the activists. Let our brother Chris Brown do his thing, dragging him in this rubbish is a way to gain popularity using his name. WHAT A SELFISH MOTIVE
askies, whose brother?? 😭
Damn, Chris can't catch a break. Leave Breezy Alone. 💯
South African get ready to be entertained what a great singer ❤
DJ Maphorisa is still doing gigs..Jacob Zuma ( remember Khwezi) is still touring the country and nothing is being said..These hypocrites are clout chasing.
We dont see any activists walking around so this news should stop and leave breezy alone
Something that happened when he was 15 years older that he regretted and has apologized to the world so many times, you can’t forgive him but you want God to forgive you for your sins.
Yes exactly. This is being pushed by the white media. Black Americans have forgave him, he didn't burn his bridges with black people, he manned up apologized and went through it. He came out of it bruised but he was stronger. It's only the white media that keep talking about his past.
Hes not in Christ
This is a stupid post...Secondly,South Africa is the ONLY country in Africa that takes GBV seriously and where most offenses are reported..The rest of the countries do not even take GBV cases seriously.
What is weird is that his other cases are allegations and this organization wants to seem important when it's CB but do nothing when cases in townships etc are being reported and not attended to. Double standard.
@GhostBra333 if we can just know who the face is behind that organization because that person have an agenda and South Africans must take them on now while is still early because it will be a huge thing if they do get it right to get the show canceled 1 week before the concert.
Shhh always trying to gaslight. GBC is too much in SAns. You guys have your Africanism. So many fatherless children
😂😂😂
Delusion
The "only" country that takes GBV seriously while being the worst offenders?! You can always count on South Africans for acting superior to other Africans while being just as bad if not worse themselves
I know for a fact this guy will perform in SA 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Firstpost is lying. He said he can't wait to come home.
This are people who are looking to blame everyone for their problems.
So why they did not bind him from helping 😢Naledi Mnyongwane na 🤷♂️,
Foolish people 😠
Lies ! We aren't divided, please 🤦🏾♀️only one NGO is advocating.
We are not divided we want Chris breezy to come..We have artist who are still doing GBV in SA why don't they boycott those Somizi still on public platform DJ Maporisa & others Wow shame on you..
Leave Breezy alone guys ah 😤
Well there's no one like him. 🇿🇲🇿🇲🙌🏾🙌🏾
somebody come to our Aid, the honest truth is that we are not the highest GBV country in the world or Africa, it the hype that makes it look so, I mean Chris Brown has been uplifting women his entire career and even Naledi our very own but yall were not cancelling him from that, but when he sells out a stadium it kills you inside, yall are leveraging from this toxicity, this is not the freedom our ForeFathers died for, key word ForeFathers.
Stopping breezy is xenophobic. These people can't afford to tickets. They will end blaming foreigners for buy all the tickets 😂
The ticket were just sold out in 2 hours 🤡
Ticket were sold out in 2 hours and fun fact SA is home to 17300 black usd millionaires and has one of the largest black middle group with a spending power of R400 billion annually 🤡
Xenophobic? Everything is xenophobia to you guys 😂
@@Lily-ed2sc you know it's true hey
@@BrightKasambala It's also true that the ticket were sold out in 2 hours and it's also true that SA is home to 17300 black usd millionaires and has one of the largest black middle group with a spending power of R400 billion annually 🤡
We know what this is and who’s really behind this news reporting.
Once a soccer player assaulted his girlfriend he now plays for mamelodi sundowns the very same activists dont talk nor boycott him now an international star is coming they want fame nah please mind ur own business and fix ur issues whatever u smoking careful it doesnt affect ur thinking mentality
fiestpost with another clickbait
15 years ago be for real , chris brown never abused rihanna they fought and he won simple ..... yall have no idea how abusive woman yaz
The show will go on. Those pushing for the concert to be canceled need to forgive their fathers.
This is unfair
They will welcome him with open arms in SA
The show must go on
This is bulshit
Extremely
He was a teenager. The 2 people involved even forgave each other. They need to give it a rest
NO WE NOT DIVIDED, JUST SOME FEW 'feminist'
Rihanna is almost 30x richer than Brown. If she was still agrieved; she could've so easily found a "solution"
looks like PR
But they can't even say anything about ANC,no electricity,no water,no sewage systems.
I don't even know why he chose to go there in the first place. 😂😂
He has a massive fan base this side
When Chris Brown helped a young South African girl become famous today she is a established artist they were quite
Im PROUD of S.A - A VERY COINSCIENT COUNTRY 👏👏👏
😅 we love him it's only 0.00001 percent who hates him😅 20k of 60millin people 😂
Well hear me well loud and clear, i will buy 1000 tickets for chris browns concert thank you!
Negative publicity 😅
Why we acting like humans dont make mistakes. He made a mistake and he learnt from it. As for those small accusations have they been proven to be true any proof. As many toxic men there are arnd in the world. We also do have some toxic women who just want attention so i dont believe blindly
we should also make a petition to allow Chris brown to perform, his just coming to entertain people who love his music, if you don't love brown just stay home and allow us to enjoy our favorite artist
They should not hold that against him. He is in tilted to his privacy, and what another man does to a woman has nothing to do with him.
This is madness charity began at home.start with artists at home and let Chris Brown perform.
let chris brown perform stop being so emotional
In Every Relationship there is break up and make up, you cannot marry if you have never had differences and still remained together, Chris Brown is just a normal Man doing normal things, if he repeated that beating on Rehana, then we were going to call him a Bad Man, but he repented, God bless Chris Brown, he is a Good Man
deep down these same activist love Chris brown, they just couldn't afford to buy the tickets, infact some where begging their partners to buy them tickets
bayahlanya oJallofina
Breezy 4Eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Rubbish! What has gender based Violence got to do with Chris ? Leave the super star out of this bullshit !😡
Those signing the petition can go fly a kite. We will not be dictated to by these activist. We love Chris brown and his artistry and. We are aware he is human and we all make mistakes and ask for forgiveness.
Every Christian would burn in hell if it were not for forgiveness, Christians repent everyday for doing similar sins. We as humans are not perfect. We have forgiven Chris... If you haven't stay away from the concert, we will happily attend
People who dont want to go must not go. I'm not going but thats on me i wont keep others from enjoying
Rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India.[1][2] According to the 2021 annual report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), 31,677 rape cases were registered across the country, or an average of 86 cases daily, a rise from 2020 with 28,046 cases, while in 2019, 32,033 cases were registered
Go Chris! 🎉
We need rihanna to help out on this issue it's like you people can not let go of the past
Please let him perform already
Please give this young man a break
I give up , our woman are putting effort on useless stuff just to get recognized . This will not change anything the past is the past and this will only make chris come even stronger.
For anyone...anyone who cares to understand Brown's "history" of abuse. Check out what he and his mom went through at the hands of his step father. P.S I like how minus Rihanna... the rest where groupie incidents gone wrong, so hypocritical.
Brezzy team🤟🏾
Chris Brown the best of all time
I think that NGO girl who started all this she's Chris Brown Ex.
Stop spreading misinformation
Activists behind this petion are haters,i bet they jamming to his songs.
Let the man Be!!!
South Africa is too woke😂
Its not canceled its still going on
Bull .
Cancel the concert
Yall checked the cam temperature before recording?
And you guys tried very much to make SouthAfrica look ugly. I mean those are all pictures and videos y'all could get of South Africa ???😒
Mr makhebzi. Please speak common sense to these feminist trying to use Chris to be relevant. There are other platforms to address GBV. Don't use a black man's sins to uplift ur narrative. Misdirected anger nxa... #leave breezy the f alone
Chris is already paid if they cancel africa gotta pay that money back for breaking a contract they not about to do that.
2009 today is 2024
it is not making any sense
People should stop nonsense, they want to punish today for a crime in 2009 they are not serious and secondly the economy been bad is not his fault and people still have fun in thr most terrible economies.
They haven't held their politicians but are willing to hold him well. South Africa fix your mess and dont stop blaming people
Yall ain't shaping nothing,try shaping our politicians
NICE TRY
Vele asila mali yama ticket so engabuyi....😂😂
Chris brown must go home bring megan thee stallion and nicki minaj
What about vice versa
I3s we are not devided..we newd Chris Brown to come...we are wqiting fir him
And he did not divide the nation,he simply put a stamp on it😂🦾i wish it was during zuma and ask zuma about Chris misdemeanor 😂then you hear hee! Haah! let a young feel loved by his african family (with the accent)
Wow being tho south Africa is# 5 worst violent crime place in the world . Smh they partition the wrong shit
Why yall being wack for wanne keep cb out of SA...not fair at all
He should come to Nigeria abeg
You should firstly build a stadium that can host over 90,000 people lol 😂
@@africaiswealthy.africanson5072they want to invite him to a township soccer field. I bet Orlando Stadium outshine whatever stadium they have in they country. By the way, they can't afford rice, so who will buy the tickets in his country.
@@africaiswealthy.africanson5072 we stil hv stadium so rest
3:40 Lol after Diddy cases 1 reported case is far too many to brush off….trying to preach Recouncolation and forgiveness or repentance is hard…hai next time sticking to Gansta Rap less issues with its content
No he doesn't.
stop lying on this man to get views it’s embarrassing
What happened to second chances, you might as well not go to the concert if you don’t like him, homie payed the price already.
Take care of your own business.
He did that 15 years ago, apologied was charged and went to rehab.. and has grown from that, why can't people forgive and accept him for who he is now.
We are busy with Dedollarazation and preparing exam chris brown must focus on baby oil 🪔
This is a joke!!!
Leave Chris alone
Pure BS .people be stupid sometimes
jealousy!
It has over 20000 signatures but the concert has 97000 tickets sold for night 1, majority wins 😂
2009?😂
You still remember. Anyway ,what chris did wasn't right.but he went to jail and paid for his sins.
Why crucify him twice?
Even Riri forgave him
