HuffPost
The Grammy-winning singer left the internet divided after gushing over the controversial singer.
The internet wants Jill Scott to take a long walk and think about her controversial support for Chris Brown.
On Sunday, the Grammy-winning singer was hit with backlash from fans after she praised the fellow entertainer for his talents despite multiple abuse allegations and his guilty plea for assaulting Rihanna 15 years ago.
“@chrisbrown is amazing. How does ANYBODY sing like THAT? Dance, look, Act and Rap… like THAT? Beyond gifted. It appears, exceptional people have to go through exceptional 🔥. There’s nothing to debate,” Scott, 52, wrote on X.
One of the “Golden” crooner’s 1 million-plus followers fired back at her post writing, “I think the women he’s abused would disagree.”
Scott then defended Brown by revealing a personal anecdote about her mother’s “violent” ex-husband who was also a skilled craftsman.
