American rapper Fat Joe has stated that Chris Brown’s assault on Rihanna in 2009 hindered his rise to stardom comparable to Michael Jackson’s peak fame. Fat Joe, aged 53, expressed that Brown’s violent act overshadowed his exceptional talent when he attacked Rihanna, then 36, after a pre-Grammys event on February 8, 2009.
Fat Joe praised Brown as a highly gifted singer, artist, and performer of this era and emphasized the need to forgive him for his past mistakes.
He urged the public to move past Brown’s indiscretions and recognize his unparalleled talent in the music industry.
Fat Joe noted the persistence of fans supporting controversial figures like R. Kelly despite their wrongdoings, indicating a double standard in society.
Fat Joe emphasized the importance of acknowledging Brown’s musical achievements and separating them from his troubled history.
He highlighted Brown’s remarkable body of work and hit songs, suggesting that Brown could have rivaled Michael Jackson if not for the negative associations from the Rihanna incident.
Despite condemning Brown’s actions in 2009, Fat Joe acknowledged the young age at which Brown committed the offense.
