US multi-award-winning singer and songwriter, Chris Brown has landed in South Africa ahead of his concert which will be held on the 14th and 15th of December at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.
The prolific artist who is renowned for his catchy tunes such as Press Me, Feel Something and With You among others, will be performing alongside the Major League DJ.
This is despite the controversial conversations that surfaced on social media platforms, where the Good Party and Women For Change called for the singer to be barred from the country because of his abuse history and Gender-Based Violence.
The Big Concerts took to their X (formerly Twitter) page to share that the American artist has landed in SA. In the picture shared, Chris can be seen surrounded by his entourage.

X users weighed in.
The issue y’all have with Chris Brown is simple… Y’all wanted him to vanish and never be heard of again. But he didn’t give a fuck if only two people listened to his music. He wasn’t giving up. And y’all hate him for it.

And the Minister of Sports and Arts & Culture has vowed to chip in with the tickets.
Ke Dezemba is opening tomorrow, I will be giving away tickets here on social media to @MakhadziSA & @chrisbrown shows to people who cannot afford them. This is not government money. Let’s have fun and support these superstars???????????????????????
