Justin Bieber's Chris Brown Comment Sparks Backlash
Following the backlash over his strange post about Hailey Bieber's Vogue cover, it's been a rough few days in the public eye for Justin Bieber. And now, his latest social media move has stirred up even more controversy.
In case you missed it, on May 15, Chris Brown was arrested in the UK and charged with grievous bodily harm in connection with an alleged attack that took place in a London nightclub in 2023. After spending nearly a week in custody, the singer was released on $6.7 million bail on Wednesday, giving him the freedom to perform his upcoming world tour, which is scheduled to begin on June 8.
Chris has been ordered to surrender his passport when not traveling for the tour. His next court appearance is scheduled in the UK for June 20, per the BBC.
Yesterday, the singer celebrated his release on Instagram, posting a photo of himself disembarking a private jet with the caption: 'Cook, remain humble. ❤️' Thousands of fans took to the comments, and among them was none other than Justin Bieber, who both liked the post and commented: 'welcome home.'
For context, Justin and Chris have a pretty long history as collaborators. Way back in 2011, they worked together on the song 'Next To You' from Chris's F.A.M.E. album. They collaborated again in 2019 on a track called 'Don't Check On Me.'
In spite of Chris's extensive history of problematic behavior and abuse allegations, Justin has long been vocal in his praise of the Grammy-award-winning singer, once describing him as a living combination of Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur.
Now, fresh off the back of Chris's latest public controversy, it's fair to say that people are not happy to see JB supporting him so publicly.
Justin has yet to address the backlash to his comment, but we'll be sure to let you know if he does.

Doechii condemns Trump for ‘ruthless attacks' on Los Angeles in BET Awards acceptance speech
Grammy Award-winning rapper Doechii denounced the 'ruthless attacks' on Los Angeles by the federal government while accepting the BET Award for female hip-hop artist on Monday night. 'Trump is using military forces to stop a protest,' the 'Denial Is a River' singer said. 'And I want you all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?' On Friday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted workplace raids in L.A.'s garment district. Agents detained workers inside Ambiance Apparel, prompting protests. On Saturday morning, ICE agents gathered inside a gated industrial park in Paramount near a Home Depot. Word of their presence spread on social medial, which prompted protesters to arrive. Federal agents and sheriff's deputies fired tear gas and flash-bang rounds at the demonstrators, who threw items toward them. In response, President Trump deployed roughly 2,000 National Guard and 700 active-duty U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton to protect federal agents. 'People are being swept up and torn from their families and I feel it's my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people,' Doechii said. 'For Black people, for Latino people, for trans people, for the people in Gaza, we all deserve to live in hope and not in fear.' Doechii was not the only artist to publicly criticize the president and the federal government during the ceremony. Before singer Ledisi took the stage, actor, writer and producer Tyler Perry called out Hollywood studios for their silence in times when 'politicians are removing books from libraries, history and names from government buildings.' 'This is not the time to be silent, this is not the time to give up — this is the time to dig in and keep leaving footprints everywhere you go.'

A Day in the Life of Chris 'The Bear' Fallica at the Belmont Stakes
The Belmont Stakes has officially wrapped up. We all know Sovereignty took first place in the race, but what did the day look like for FOX Sports betting expert Chris 'The Bear' Fallica? Come and see for yourself! It was 9:03 a.m. in New York, meaning it was go-time. First things first, The Bear started his everyday routine by handicapping, getting scratches out and going through the big, multi-race wagers, so it was highlighted for him to keep an eye on throughout the day. Chris then wagered on a Pick 5, as it's the best way to "get the juices flowing" in the early morning. Well, whaddyaknow, a handful of races got canceled and postponed. That just meant he had to improvise and adjust; his Pick 5 would have to wait another day. It was time to head to the Saratoga Race Course. By 1:30 p.m., The Bear had arrived and was ready to get beautified. Three minutes later, his makeup was complete. Fallica was then ready to meet with the Bear Bets producers to discuss the wagers he would make on the show. But before he went on air, he needed to make a quick stop. What good handicapper doesn't have a fedora? That definitely couldn't be Chris. The fun began at 3:05 p.m. as he entered the Saratoga course and, with the help of fans, The Bear found himself the perfect hat. Selfie time! The Bear had many fans he had to attend to, and, of course, had to get in a handful of selfies as he made his way throughout the course. Drinking from the Big Red Spring is a must at the Saratoga Race Course, so obviously Fallica needed to try it. Around 3:30 p.m., it was officially time for the Bear Bets livestream, where fellow FOX Sports betting analysts Sammy P and Geoff Schwartz joined The Bear to film. Following the livestream at 4:07 p.m., Chris hopped in to join FOX Sports' Charissa Thompson and Jonathon Kinchen, helping break down how to bet on the horses. Chris put his money on Journalism. It was then time to make the final pick just before 7 p.m. alongside the analysts. Terry Bradshaw entered the broadcast a few minutes later to watch the race. The horses took off, and in 2 minutes, 0.69 seconds, Sovereignty finished in first place, ahead of Preakness Stakes winner Journalism by three lengths. "They love me even though Sovereignty won," Fallica said. "I have to be a winner. Any time you come out of the day with a hat, it's a successful day, right? Another year until we can do it all over again. Before we even know it, Big Noon college football will be back". Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
