Chris Brown and Kehlani Stir Up Controversy With Backstage Selfie Due to Past Feud

Following a past filled with friction, Chris Brown and Kehlani’s new selfie has reignited fan discussions on social media, with mixed emotions ranging from forgiveness to disappointment.

AceShowbiz – Fans of R&B artists Chris Brown and Kehlani found themselves divided this week after Brown posted a selfie on Instagram with the non-binary singer. Their reunion, captioned “Twin [love] @kehlani,” raised eyebrows given their rocky history.

The photo has generated a mixed bag of reactions. Some fans are deeply troubled by Kehlani’s association with Brown, considering his harsh comments during one of their lowest moments and his historically problematic behavior with women.

In 2016, Brown criticized Kehlani after they tried to commit suicide, accusing them of seeking sympathy. “There is no attempting suicide. Stop flexing for the gram. Doing s**t for sympathy so those comments under your pics don’t look so bad,” he wrote back then after Kehlani posted a picture of her in hospital with an IV bag.

“Kehlani went out of their way to remove Tory Lanez off a song after the incident with Megan, but now they all cozied up to Cocaine Fisticuffs Brown?” one user tweeted. Another added, “Kehlani hanging out with Chris Brown genuinely feels like the biggest f***ing slap to the face.”
