Chris Brown fans outraged by the hypocrisy of Dr. Dre, who is honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as an R&B star without being invited to the biggest events in Hollywood

Chris Brown’s fans are baffled why he hasn’t been cleared of his problematic behavior record while other stars who have committed similar offenses proceed to be praised.

Brown’s supporters, shouting that Hollywood has a way of looking the other way, showed up in droves in the comments of posts congratulating Dr. Dre on being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 19. The megaproducer is the 2,775th person to gain recognition for his music profession, which spans three many years, as well as business ventures such as Beats by Dre.

He was enthusiastically described as “the greatest partner, friend, ally you could ever have” by business partner and music executive Jimmy Iovine, who spoke at the event alongside Snoop Dogg.

In a press release, Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, stated that Dre “has left an indelible mark on popular culture… It is with great pride that we honor his incredible career and extraordinary impact by awarding him a star on the Walk of Fame.”

But for those who get results, he also left his mark on women in hip-hop. Singer Michel’le, with whom the Compton resident has a son named Marcel Young, spoke candidly about an abusive six-year relationship in the late Eighties and early Nineteen Nineties. In an interview with “Breakfast Club” in 2015, she stated that his violent outbursts leave him with a broken nose, black eyes and five cracked ribs.

Additionally, in Elle The following 12 months, in 2016, in an interview, Michel’le said: “Being beaten, beaten was something normal for me. The abuse was simply routine. I didn’t get up the next day and say, “Dre, why did you hit me?” The next day we never talked about it. She even noticed that they cried together after the first incident, and according to her, that was the moment he felt remorse for his actions. However, her guilt was short-lived as, according to her, more beatings occurred.

That same 12 months, the “Turn Off the Lights” singer told her story of being romantically involved with him and making a reputation for herself as a songwriter and artist on the Lifetime movie “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le.” ” He also has a daughter, Bailei Knight, with co-founder of Death Row Records. According to Michel’le, the NWA founder didn’t apologize for the abuse at the time.

Allegations that Dre physically harms women also concern veteran journalist Dee Barnes. Her memories of brutal violence from him at a Hollywood party in 1991 were the result of his ego being stimulated after the episode “Pump It Up”, which aired interviews with him and Ice Cube, with whom he was feuding. then.

Barnes said she tried to defuse Dre’s fury by explaining that she had no control over how the segments were presented.

“He grabbed my hair and my ear and smashed my face and body against the wall… The next thing I knew, I was on the ground and he was kicking me in the ribs and stomach and stomping on my fingers,” she said. alleged. She tried to seek shelter in the women’s bathroom, but it surely wasn’t a robust enough barrier. “He burst through the door and started punching me in the back of the head.” He was placed on probation for 2 years after pleading guilty to assault and battery charges.

The iconic West Coast hip-hop figure made something of an effort to atone for the claims and alter the narrative about his presence in the industry when he issued a public apology on The New York Times in 2015. He didn’t mention his ex and Barnes by name.

He said he was a young man who had gone berserk, had no structure and drank an excessive amount of. “However, none of this is an excuse for what I did,” Dre said. “I am doing everything I can to never resemble this man again. I’m sorry to the women I hurt. I deeply regret what I did and I know it has forever impacted all of our lives.”

At the time, Dre was married to his wife, Nicole Young, and Straight Out of Compton, a biopic about NWA, had just been released. Michel’le is not mentioned in the film, despite the fact that she was an lively part of his life during that period of his profession.

In 2021, he and Young’s messy divorce, in which she claimed he was violent and put a gun to her head on two separate occasions, ended in a $100 million settlement. They have two children, a son named Truice and a daughter named Truly. He has six other children from previous relationships.

These transgressions have done little, if any, damage to his fame as he is a famous pillar of entertainment. In 2023, he received a prestigious award named in his honor by the Recording Academy, the Global Impact Award. He won an Emmy alongside Snoop, 50 Cent, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar in 2022 for his Super Bowl halftime performance.

In 2013, Dre and Iovine founded the Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation on the University of Southern California campus with a $70 million endowment. All these exploits paint him as a modified and influential man whose cruel past stays a distant memory.

This blatant double standard is clearly hindering Brown’s image recovery and is all too obvious to his fans. “Dr. Dre really beat up Dee Barnes and other women and everyone seems to forget about it, but Chris Brown will forever be reminded of what he did and will lose opportunities because of it.” he tweeted one supporter.

The “Sensational” artist has openly shared that he feels he is continually paying for the domestic violence incident he and Rihanna were involved in during the 2009 Grammy Awards night.

“If you still hate me for the mistake I made as a 17-year-old, kiss me all over…” he said in a February Instagram post. Both parties hit one another, with the singer suffering the most visible injuries.

Brown was sentenced to five years probation and 1,400 hours of community service for felony assault. In your audience apologyhe stated, “What I did was inexcusable… I told Rihanna countless times, and I’m telling you today that I’m really, really sorry that I wasn’t able to handle this situation differently and better.”

Another X user he said“Dr. Dre really beat women and nobody cared. He received an honorary Grammy Award and a 2023/2024 Walk of Fame star. Chris Brown is still considered a foul person and made it difficult to select in Hollywood.

While Dre continued to move seamlessly through the rooms of his peers, Brown had not appeared at the Grammy Awards since 2012. In 2022, his tribute to Michael Jackson was cut from the American Music Awards at the last minute. Dick Clark Productions later he said they were unable to “adapt to the performance, no fault of Chris Brown”.

The third person commented“But Chris Brown can’t even play the celebrity game, that n***a that Dr. Dre yelled at a lot of women.” Last month, he claimed that his invitation to the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game was withdrawn because sponsors had concerns about his bad boy image. “At this point, I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m sick of living in the f***ing past,” he said. he wrote in the deleted post.

Moreover, detractors also raised concerns about his past of allegedly abusing, harassing, and stalking his ex-girlfriend, Karruche Tran, smashing his mother’s windshield after an argument in 2013, and various other incidents of aggression.

The 34-year-old father of three recently suffered one other blow to his fame when rumors spread that he or a member of his crew beat up Usher at a pre-show party at the May 2023 Lovers & Friends Festival. The “Good Good” singer downplayed the speculation in an interview after his Super Bowl performance.

Stating that they weren’t at odds, Usher also admitted that “this man” wasn’t an enormous name and invited him to join him on stage. The two share the massive hit “New Flame.” Regardless of any perceived shortcomings, Brown stays focused on his craft and the unwavering support of his fans.
