Chris Brown has redeemed himself since – or at least succeeded in spite of – beating the crap out of then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. He’s one of the hottest acts in music today.
Not everyone is thrilled by his “comeback,” however.
A group in the UK has taken upon itself to go around to record stores and affix custom “warning” stickers to Chris Brown’s albums. Those stickers read:
“WARNING. DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM! THIS MAN BEATS WOMEN.”
“It would appear a member of the public dropped into one of our stores yesterday and stickered a handful of CDs,” a rep for HMV said, denying any involvement.
“These unauthorized stickers were spotted and quickly removed, but, before we could act, the [individuals] must have taken a photo and sent it to the media.”
“To our knowledge there are no further stickers in our stores now.”
No word on whether the renegades plan to hit any other stores or if they saw Rihanna and Chris Brown kiss at the VMAs … seems she’s gotten over what happened three and a half years ago a lot more quickly than fans (for better or worse).
