CHRIS Brown appears undeterred in his plans to perform in South Africa.
This is after Women For Change took to Instagram to announce the petition in a bid to get the South African government, event organisers and promoters to re-consider their decision about allowing Brown to perform in South Africa on December 14 for his “Breezy in South Africa concert”.
The American singer had an interesting reply to their post.
“Can’t wait to come” he commented to their post. His comment garnered 2,000 likes in just 16 hours.
In his response to the Women For Change Instagram post, fans commended him for commenting.
Instagram user, @breezys.bestie commented, “I know that’s f*** right! And those 200,000 people cannot wait to see you there.
Instagram user @thekingtreaty_gbz commented, “lol if they go low, team breezy is gonna go lower”
Another Instagram user @frvr_br555zy commented, “They can’t stop you with fake petition”
Many fans were excited to hear that Chris Brown will be performing in South Africa. However, the announcement also sparked an online debate.
Despite his history of abuse being globally known on social media, many of his fans are standing up for him regardless of the allegations against him. He even managed to sell out the tickets of his event, which prompted him to do another event.
The Women for Change petition has received over 31,221 signatures since it started on October 2. The petition calls on Home Affairs to revoke Chris Brown’s visa and prevent him from performing for South Africans to unite and take a stand against GBVF (gender-based violence and femicide).
