Chris Brown made fans mad last night, so mad that I received two long letters detailing how devoted fans were upset that Chris Brown did not take any questions from them on Ustream last night, and they described his live feed as vulgar, degrading, and offensive to gays.
Apparently Polow Da Don, made some homophobic comments, and Chris Brown laughed instead of denouncing them. I’m not going to post the whole letter, but it’s certainly worth a read: (Rihanna is this you…lol)
Last night i and three friends, two chicks and one gay male friend were excited to see our favorite singer Chris Brown on Ustream. He had basically begged his fans to help him get to 100,000 followers on twitter and as a reward he would talk to us on Ustream.
Does sitting in front of a camera not acknowledging any question or statement any of the 50k + fans were asking seem fair? The live show that was no longer than 15 minutes was the most upsetting, disgusting thing i have ever witnessed.
We support you, we buy your albums, WE bought you that House, WE helped you rent those nice sport cars your seen in. Not only Chris but when will rude, selfish, arrogant celebrities realize that with out US they’re is NO YOU!!!
As a black young women i am offended!!!! Even after what happened with Rihanna we all (fans) worked hard to continue to support you and all we get the damn silent treatment. Thas all we get back??? The fact that you went and read to a few third graders in Brooklyn wont save your career.
You boldly ignored us and the fact of the matter is the majority of your remaining fans are GAY. You just LOST that. So forget about releasing that as you put it “gay friendly Club Song”. INÂ a year in a half you lost most of your followers, tons of support from the urban community and BLACK WOMEN! But you want us to sit and buy your album??????? Really?
[From an ex-fan Shannon in Atlanta]
That was just an excerpts from the first letter, keep reading to see what other Chris Brown fans had to say:
Now maybe its just me but I find it extremely hypocritical for him to be basically begging fans to support him because radio stations weren’t playing his music. As a fan I took time out of my day to actually find phone numbers and email addresses of radio station. I wrote emails and even called theses stations begging them to play crises music. And after watching this video I felt like someone just smacked me across my face and said screw you.
At about 12mins ad 50 seconds the music producer polo the don made a remark that I felt was extremely disrespectful, inappropriate, and lude. The statement was basically on the lines of ” anybody want to see some dick, but not you gay ass niggas on the females.” Now as a openly gay male I’m extremely offended. But the fact the chris brown did nothing to defend his fans but laugh and turn his back on the camera hurts me to my heart. I know chris didn’t make this comment.

I admire people who DONT DRINK THE KOOLAID. Who have the guts to stand up for their beliefs instead of being a coward who is always politically correct. Chris is a hero for using his freedom of speech.

@vanessa,
I get it now, you like light skinned men, but not light skinned women. Drake and Chris Brown are great, but Rihanna and Stacey Dash are evil.

Umm…maybe if I was gay, I’d be more sympathetic to this. So they’re upset because Chris didn’t defend them??? Ok.

@LolaAM, no one has to defend us we’re, we defend ourselves. and we’re upset that people speak so negatively when referencing gay people, specifically black heterosexual males. frankly the comment was unnecessary. why bother singling out a group that expressed no interest in you in the first place? “gay ass niggas” and you dont see anything wrong with that? if he were white saying something about “black bitches” or black saying something about “white hoes” he’d be issuing a public apology to retract his statement by now. but because people like you see anything wrong his verbal bashing of gays he gets away with it. you dont have to be gay to know what he said was wrong. its called empathy. so quick to open your mouth. try opening your mind.

@Eris, I say get over your overly sensitive nature and learn to have a thick skin to the fuckery people say. Polow has no home training if he said that, but it isn’t Chris Brown’s job to defend gay people, just because YOU chose to support him through his situation. It was YOUR choice to do so. If you want to stop liking Chris, let it be because he did something purposely against you. Not because he did make an action because of someone else’s opinion.
I was watching and as a big woman, we get put down all the time. I feel like a lot of people, it ain’t what they call you, it is what you answer to.
Grow up and stop letting any and everything bother you so. It’s whatever. Those celebs don’t put food on your table. If you want to stop supporting him just stop. But trying to incite hatred for him because of something that offended YOU is a waste of time.

@Eris, I dont understand why ur so mad…is it just because it’s CHRIS BROWN…would it have made it better if he just said no homo?…it’s the same thing…everytime u hear someone say “no homo” that doesnt offend u so why does this hurt u so much…u need to get over yourself, people find humor at the expense of others…yea it’s not nice but it’s not gonna stop…It’s like u want a trophy for being gay…people get mad fun of for their lifestlyes, races, cultures, and religions all the time…why do u feel that it is some sort of hate crime?…I mean what was chris suppoused to do punch him in the face? (no pun intended) like common ur mad at him because he laughed that is one of the dumbest things i’ve heard….i dont know if ur aware but he isn’t Obama….

@chante,ok yea i have no idea what you’re talking about. because ive already made it clear that i do NOT have a problem with chris brown or his fan base. and actually its very offensive when people say “no homo” . imagine a non black person saying “no negro” after every sentence. never said it was a hate crime. just felt that we as people deserve a little more respect than that for anyone to brush it off and think otherwise is dumb. furthermore im not sure what the purpose of your response was because everything you mentioned had already been addressed and resolved.

@LolaAM, really i dont give a f@#$%* about chris brown. like ive never had a problem with him,and i stated that the problem isn’t with him… so idk what you’re talking about. the issue is with polo the don making homophobic statements to his fans. thick skin has nothing to do with gays or for that matter any community standing up for themselves when people are speaking out against them.
while i do not agree that people should stop buying his music because he didn’t say anything; i do stand firmly behind the queer community for choosing not to support artists(or anything else) that don’t support them. thats our way of standing up for ourselves, and you don’t have to like it.
i commend you for not allowing yourself not to get upset when people bash “big girls” but if thats how you choose to deal with it, thats you,kudos. maybe if “big” women took up for themselves more often they would get a little more respect.

Maybe it’s just me but isn’t it a little GAY that Polow would ask if anyone wants to see dick on Chris Brown’s UStream?? Just sounds like a gay scenario to me, you come on another man’s UStream basically offering to show your penis…

I don’t really see where Chris needed to defend anyone. No derogatory comments were said. I don’t even really see the need to be mad at Polow.
I think some are quick to blame Chris, or accuse Chris, or say he didn’t do this, or he did this…I question if these are really fans.

First,the ustream was longer then 15 min it was about 3 hours long.Second, he was in the studio working he didnt have that much time to talk because newsflash studio time costs money.I watched the whole thing and I really enjoyed it.He was chilling with his friends joking around and recording.Not many artist would let people see them work in the studio,and for 3 hours,thats amazing.You got to see that he really is a hard worker and really enjoys what he does.If the only thing u took from it was a joke that he did not even tell then I think u r dumb.If u were really a fan then u would know that teyanna(chris play sis)who was also in the studio that night,has two gay bestfrieds that chris is cool with.They have said chris doesnt care that they r gay cause hes not.He has done ustream a few times before so anyone watching should have known that he was pobably going to be working.If he would have reached 100k earlier in the week or later in the week then he may have been at home and better able to answer questions.
I think this is stupid and that when it comes to chris people will find anything to complain about.

@tay, I concur. People are meaner and harsher than ever. On the flip side of that, some people are so dang sensitive. We say mean things to each other every day yet we stay in relationships with people that talk out the side of their neck. I really do wish people would stop trying to make big issues out of trivial things.

Are you serious with this…First of all Chris stated that the USTREAM didn’t have the CHAT feature on his Twitter when he started it. SECOND it was Polow that made the comment not Chris so if they are disgusted then they need to make sure it’s directed at the right person. Third Chris is not obligated USTREAM at any time and if they went into it with any expectations that’s on them Chris never said he was going to shout ppl out or hold convos. and finally it’s funny how over 50K ppl tuned in and out of that only two are complaining so suspect…Rihanna come get ur fans…btw the Ustream was good and the rest of us (48K+) were just glad we got the opportunity to see him at work and enjoying life.

If they watched his previous Ustream. They would know that is how all of it goes. One the Ustream didn’t have a chat so he couldn’t answer questions. Second of all Polow made the “dick” comment and because of that Chris is suppose to defend? why? It isn’t like Chris made fun of the gays or said anything that was disrespectful.
Also MrsGrapevine – You can’t really tell if these are fans or haters. So I don’t if it was right for you to post it or whatever. You should watch it for your own to see what these people are talking makes no freaking sense. I’m still wondering why you post it? Not that I’m blasting you or anything just curious.

@Nia,
Every story has two sides, and I turn away a lot derogatory against Chris Brown.
If a post something about Rihanna, her fans get made, and post something about Chris Brown, his fans get mad.
I’m just letting you know what’s out there, and what’s a hot topic, and right now this is what’s hot…or not.

I watched the ustream and Chris and his friends had me cracking up with laughter!! It was a lot of fun to watch, I love seeing him in his element, in the studio making his music from scratch. He had two songs that night that I am in love with already lol. And those RIHANNA stans need to sit their asses all the way down. 50+K views and only “2″ are mad enough to run the blogs and complain? Real fans know the deal with Chris and his ustreams. Last month Chris ustreamed 3 nights in a row (one night was even 7 hours), in the studio, and he did the exact same thing in those 3 videos that he did in this recent one. TRUE fans would know this and know what to expect. Why do those stans stay pressed?? It’s quite pathetic to say the absolute least.
@MrsGrapeVine, I am glad that you can see those letters for what they are. Rihanna stans just trying to be messy.
Let them be the crazy immature ones, CB stans, we just gotta look past them and keep it moving. I swear they do the absolute most. smh

@MrsGrapevine, well hey i love the blog! And i read all the comments and the full letters on another BLog. but my comment to you is as a blogger you should report the news. I dont think your trying to destroy him! You did not write the letters, and your not the only one who posted them! alot of people are tweeting about this! If the video was 2 hours where is it? go to his fan sites or youtube his videos theyre all very short. he never really speaks and he has expessed ustream isnt his thing nor is say now. becaus in his words” i dont usually do this” i mean when an artist has to beg people to follow them on twitter its an issue. and so what you have 100k followers. dude ur album flopped. if you all were real fans he wouldnt be in this situation! im not a rihanna fan so dont assume that. as a young EDUCATED BLACK WOMAN. i dont think its a good look for them. the people in the lime light are the ones that are able to set the example. Being gay isnt something people choose. im not here to argue with anyone but honestly those who arent super cb fans can take a look from the outside in. NO HE DID NOT SAY IT BUT HE DID NOT APOLOGIZE FOR THE MID CONDUCT. TAKE THIS FOR EXAMPLE. IF YOU BOUGHT A WHITE PERSON TO AN GATHERING OF YOUR FAMILY, AND LETS SAY THEY ARE ALL BLACK AND YOUR GUEST WHO IS WHITE MADE RACIST COMMENTS. YOU WOULD MOST LIKELY APOLOGISE TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS BECAUSE OF YOUR GUESTS BEHAVIOR! RIGHT OR WRONG? EVEN THOUGH YOU DID NOT SAY IT, OR KNOW THEY WOULD SAY IT, ITS EMBARRASSING AND ITS NOT OKAY! uf you all read the damn LETTERS FIRST THEN COMMENT THINGS WOULD BE ALOT BETTER!
