This week my blog is going to be about the alleged attack on singer Rihanna by her boyfriend, singer Chris Brown. If you watch television, listen to the radio, or hop on the internet, you have probably heard about this story.
Witnesses claim that they saw Chris Brown and “an unidentified woman” arguing in the front seats of his car at 12:30 am Sunday (Not the night of the Grammy’s but the night before). They then got outside of the vehicle where the fight escalated. The woman, who was later identified as Rihanna, was taken to the hospital, and cops booked Brown on “suspicion of making a criminal threat” which is a felony.
This happened the night before the Grammy’s; an event that both Rihanna and Chris Brown were scheduled to perform at. They cancelled just two hours before the award’s show began, and Justin Timberlake volunteered to fill in their time slot.
Photos taken by police show major contusions on both sides of the singer's face along with serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. It was also rumored that Brown choked Rihanna until she was unconscious. All this information can be found on TMZ.
My boyfriend, all my guy friends, and I’m sure every other male who knows who Rihanna is are appalled. Honestly, if you were lucky enough to be dating her, why would you beat on her? She is waaaaay cuter than Chris Brown anyway.
How this story ties into the radio is Chris Brown’s music on the radio, or rather, the lack there of as of Sunday. There is a growing list of radio stations across the nation that are banning Chris Brown’s music; some because the radio station refuses to play it, and others because of “listener’s outrage”. The most recent radio station to join this list is Fargo’s Y94. I have to say, I agree with this decision, however any man that raises his hand to a woman deserves a hell of a lot more than his crappy music being banned from a radio station. Someone should smack Chris Brown upside the head with an umbrella-ella-ella…

I'm glad the radio stations are making a public statement about this. It's good to see them doing something about it instead of sitting back idly.
ReplyDeleteThis will show him that what he did was completely wrong! (incase he doesn't already know that)
And i totally agree! Why would you ever beat up on Rihanna?! She's awesome...and so gorgeous! Chris Brown is going to have to live with his mistake forever...like he should.
I think it was crazy that Chris Brown did that to Rihanna! I guy should never hit a girl, no matter what. It is sad that it had to turn out that way, but I hope Chris realizes that was really wrong of him to do. With not playing Chris Brown’s music on the radio; I don’t think that will punish him. They still should be able to play his music because his music didn’t cause problems. It was his attitude that caused problems. I wonder how long they aren’t going to play Chris Brown’s music.
