Chris Brown is not going to get any warm welcome in Sweden. Protesters have managed to plaster posters of Brown's ex Rihanna
showing her battered face and used it as a promo material for the
rapper's upcoming November 19 concert in Stockholm. The scheme was a
call for the show organizers to cancel Brown's concert due to his
negative image as a woman-beater.
The professional-looking posters,
complete with concert date information and the line "Buy Your Ticket at
Ticketmaster Sweden", were cleverly designed and plastered around bus
stops and public areas in the Swedish capital. The still unknown
masterminds of the scheme obviously want to highlight Breezy's 2009
assault on the "Diamonds" singer, which led to their highly publicized
break-up and to Brown's conviction of five-year probation, six months of
community service and compulsory attendance at a two-week domestic
violence course.
Apparently, the European audience is not letting the rapper get off the
hook so easily. Just last September, another unknown party in England
also voiced out their dislike of the "Turn Up the Music" singer when it
affixed stickers to his "Fortune" CD that read "WARNING: Do Not Buy This Album! This Man Beats Women."
Moreover, fellow musicians are also protesting Brown's violent past. The
Irish hip-hop group The Original Rudeboys cited Brown's attack on
Rihanna as their reason for turning down an offer last month to play
with him as special guests at his O2 show.
Brown does seem to acknowledge the protests against him as he releases
his new single "Nobody's Perfect" on Friday, November 9. This track will
be on Breezy's forthcoming album "Carpe Diem", out early 2013.
