Chris Brown responds to female critics on Instagram
The 33-year-old's congratulations message to Riri on IG stories received mixed reactions, with some fans calling the R&B singer 'weird' and 'inconsiderate'
Chris Brown has received major backlash for congratulating his ex-girlfriend Rihanna on giving birth to her first baby with boyfriend A$AP Rocky after it was announced via TMZ yesterday.
After the news broke, the R&B singer wrote on his IG story "šš½ā¤ļø CONGRATULATIONS š«š½", showing love and support to the happy couple, however, fans of Riri did not take well to him sending his wishes.
One user wrote: "Chris Brown had no right to post congratulations to her over the birth of her child. What he did to her was beyond horrendous."
Another one commented: "Chris Brown having the audacity to even speak to Rihanna after she's supposed to be happy enjoying the birth of her new baby boy is absolutely vile to me".
A third person added: "Chris Brown subliminally telling Rihanna congratulations on IG is top tier toxicity."

One thing about the Chris brown thing ā Rihanna may have forgiven him, but many of her fans have not and probably never will. Obviously he donāt need to care BUT he canāt be mad if people blast him every time he communicates with her š¤·š¾āāļø

Rihanna and Chris Brown famously dated for two years. In 2009, Brown violently attacked Rihanna the day before she was scheduled to perform at the 51st Grammy Awards, which resulted in him being charged with assault and criminal threats.
The pair broke up following an incident. They later reconciled after the incident in 2013 for a few months before going breaking up again.
