Artists are stepping up to defend Chris Brown after the singer was recently accused of raping a woman in Paris on Monday (Jan. 21). Both T.I. and Joyner Lucas are two of the first rappers to voice their opinions about the alleged incident on social media.
While T.I. did not comment on Brown’s innocence directly, he did question the timing of the news report. The rapper shared a headline from a past article, in which Brown was being celebrated for becoming the youngest artist to own his own masters recordings. “First this… then RAPE allegations,” he questioned, suggesting that the accusations were released as a ploy to put a negative spotlight on Breezy.
Joyner Lucas also joined the conversation on Instagram. “Bro seriously?!! Smh GET THE F**K OFF MY N***AZ D**K BRO,” he wrote. “@chrisbrownofficial ain’t rape nobody. Any and every way someone gets the opportunity to create a story and try to ruin my n***az legacy they take it. It won’t happen tho. Anybody who actually thinks breezy needs to take some p*ssy got issues. Trust me when I say it doesn’t matter what city, state, country, or continent this n***a goes to, he can literally pick like a flower from a garden of bad b***hes who wanna f**k and it’s that simple. Nobody bout to make me believe this n***a is a rapist.”
Lucas then suggested that TV networks were paying people to falsely accuse the R&B crooner. “No way no f**king how. And if anybody is mad at this post and wants to unfollow me then be my f**king guest! 🤷🏽♂️… this is the reason why he been in the house for so many years and barely goes anywhere. The Moment the n***a take a vacation to Paris then now he a rapist,” he added. “I’m no conspiracy theorist but no bullsh*t, im really starting to believe that TV networks are paying muthaf**kas to false claim allegations just so they can turn it into a documentary.”
As previously reported, Chris Brown was arrested in Paris after a woman filed a complaint claiming that he raped her. The 24-year-old woman alleges that she met Brown at a club on Jan. 14. She claims he allegedly raped her after the two went back to his hotel. Despite the woman’s report however, another woman named Kim Ford, who was allegedly at the scene of the incident, claims Brown was nowhere in sight. Brown also claims the allegations are false.
