On Saturday (Feb. 18), a woman shared a video on social that showed her and her friends accusing Brown of being turned away from VIP at a club in London due to their skin color.
"We were supposed to go see Chris Brown," one woman said in the video. "We got there and there were thousands of girls lined up there. Like, thousands of girls. And they're not getting in. We were supposed to be on the VIP guest list."
Another woman chimed in the video claiming that their skin color was the real reason why they were not allowed in the exclusive section. "They told us 'No Black girls allowed,'" the friend stated. "You’re handpicking these White women."

Brown responded to the video the following day with a photo of him in the VIP section surrounded by Black women. "STOP IT," he captioned the photo. "I have Black queens all around me. STOP REACHING."
The "No Guidance" singer later shared another video of the woman where she clarified her statements about the club.
"That video had absolutely nothing to do with Chris Brown," she explained. "The only reason why his name was mentioned was because we were going to a club where he was hosting at."
"CRAZY that I have to have receipts. LOVE OUTWEIGHS THE HATE OVER HERE!" Brown captioned the video.
This is the second time in the last week Brown has had to defend himself on social media. After Chlöe Bailey announced that Brown would be the feature on her upcoming single "How Does It Feel," social media began to attack both Bailey and Brown.
"If y’all still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17-year-old please kiss my entire a--! Im f----- 33!," he he wrote on Instagram.
"How Does It Feel" is set to drop Friday (2/24).
Rihanna killed her Halftime performance at the Super Bowl LVII. Although we are still recovering, now we're thinking about who the NFL should pick to headline Super Bowl LVIII. If they were to pick a hip-hop or R&B act for next year's big game, we've come up with a few suggestions to help get them started.
Take a look at 10 performers the NFL should consider for Super Bowl LVIII:
Drake

He has also collaborated with many artists on this list as well as other musicians in different genres so bringing them out on stage would be a treat for non-hip-hop fans as well.
Nicki Minaj

Nicki's fifth studio album has been brewing but has no official release date, so while the anticipation is already high, why not release it weeks before next year's Super Bowl? She could even make a tour announcement after the show. The last time the rapper did a tour was for her fourth studio album <em>Queen</em> back in 2019.
Kendrick Lamar

Blige, and 50 Cent during Super Bowl LVI. All of Kendrick's albums thus far have resonated with fans, so it wouldn't matter if he stuck to one album or did a medley of his biggest hits.
Chris Brown

Future

Hits such as "Mask Off" "Life Is Good," and "Codeine Crazy," are just some of the songs that could get the crowd going. Plus, he recently tweeted he's in "album mode" so what better way to gain excitement than to headline the Super Bowl?
Janet Jackson

This year, Janet is embarking on the <em>Together Again</em> tour, so she and her dancers would already be geared up and ready to go if the opportunity were to arise.
Doja Cat

She's a newer talent than most on the list, but her remarkable performance skill (plus the girl can rap AND sing) puts her in the running for someone who would have a show-stopping performance.
Mary J. Blige

Blige were to have a solo headlining performance at the Super Bowl, all she would need to do is run back "Family Affair" a couple of times, and we would be fine with that. Seriously though , after her viral death drop during the Super Bowl LVI, she proved once again how remarkable of a performer she is and why she is the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.
Usher

The eight-time Grammy Award winner would be a great choice for the next Super Bowl because he sure knows how to entertain. His Las Vegas residency got extended due to him selling out all 25 of his 2022 shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM. If the NFL wants an explosive Halftime Show, they know who to call.
Jay-Z
(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)Jay-Z mentioned he's turned down the Super Bowl before, which he raps in "Apes---" with Beyoncé. "Once I said no to the Super Bowl: You need me, I don't need you. Every night we in the end zone. Tell the NFL we in stadiums, too," he rapped. His feelings might have changed since the song came out in 2018 because the following year, he entered a deal with the NFL to enhance its live game experiences and to amplify the league's social justice efforts. Maybe this time around, he might reconsider hitting the big stage.
