A viral meet-and-greet photo from singer Chris Brown’s ongoing tour is stirring up controversy online amid his current legal battles.
The Run It singer’s Breezy Bowl XX tour celebrates 20 years since his debut, with shows lined up across Europe and North America.
Meet-and-greet packages sold out quickly for the stadium tour, with fans who wanted to meet the star paying an additional $1944 for the package on top of their ticket cost.
One fan who bought the meet-and-greet add-on seemingly asked the Freaky Friday singer to pose in a shocking way with her.
The controversial photo shows the woman straddled on Brown’s lap, while the singer grabbed the woman’s throat with an intense look on his face.

The image sparked major concerns online, especially given Brown’s public past with domestic violence and sexual assault.
“So domestic violence is terrible until it comes to meeting Chris Brown?” one user commented on the viral photo.
“A woman posing like this with the abuser of multiple women is … certainly a choice,” another read.
“He looks so scary,” a third added.

Brown has faced a myriad of legal issues throughout his career, with the most notable incident being the singer assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammy awards.
The performer is dealing with a charge related to a 2023 London nightclub assault, where he is alleged to have smashed a bottle over a producer’s head.
The singer appeared at a London court last Friday and pleaded not guilty to attempting to cause grievous bodily harm.
He is allowed to complete his world tour as a condition of his bail and is next scheduled to appear in court in October.
