Queen Latifah Praises Chris Brown, BET Awards Tribute; Says Singer "Needs to Be Forgiven"
by Free Britney at .Queen Latifah is on Team Chris Brown.
The star's performance at the 10th Annual BET Awards Sunday, which she hosted, was "amazing, just amazing," she raves. "Not only was it a knockout performance, but his heartfelt emotion ... you can't plan that, you can't write that, it's just truth."
Fans have since argued what the truth actually is - specifically whether Brown's Michael Jackson tribute on stage was genuine or a shameless attempt to exploit the late King of Pop's legacy for some badly-needed positive PR.
The Queen says it's time to forgive Chris.
Queen Latifah has Chris Brown's back.
"He is young guy, he made a big mistake and he needs to bounce back from that. And he needs an opportunity for a second chance," she says. "We can't condemn that kid. He's a kid and he needs to correct the mistake for the future, not live in the past."
"He needs to be forgiven. Enough already. We can't keep beating him up. She [Rihanna] is going to grow, he's going to grow and we have to allow them both to do that."
What do you think?
Is Latifah glossing over what happened or are people being too hard on Brown? Has the public scrutiny gone on too long, or is it just part of what Chris must bear?

It's this type of tolerance that has killed so many women. "He said he was sorry." If it were your daughter or sister that had been in that car and beaten within an inch of her life, could you still forgive Chris Brown? It was pretty convenient to have him break down and cry in front of a live audience with the cameras rolling. Hell, I'd cry too if my CD's weren't selling and my Visa was turned down in Europe. Can't make money sitting on his tail. When CB is dating someone seriously and potentially long term and that particular young woman says he's truly changed; then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Am I the only one who thinks that it's funny she used the term 'can't keep beating him up'. Great choice of words there...not!
WERE U THERE IN THAT CAR? SHE WAS HITING HIM WITH HER SHOE HE WAS DRIVING WITH ONE HAND, MEN U GOT 2 PROTECT UR SELF. RIHNANA CAUGHT WITH WEED IN A HOTEL IN BABADOS ONLY GOD KNOWS IF SHE WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF WEED ON THAT DAY? DAM ALL HATERS CB 4 LIFE
