Justin Bieber has compared Chris Brown to Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur.
The 25-year-old singer took to Instagram to share an image suggesting Jackson plus Shakur equals his pal Brown and said that people don’t appreciate Chris like he deserves.
He wrote: "everyone wants to wait til people die To give them the credit they deserve. I’m calling it now when CB passes away after a long full life, you will miss what you had in front of you the whole time … trust me watch you will see. the people who have over looked this mans talent because of a mistake he made.. you need to reevaluate! Love you @chrisbrownofficial (sic)."
Justin has slammed people for ignoring Chris’ "talent" because of a "mistake" he made. Although he did not elaborate on the mistake, he was likely referring to Chris’ brutal beating of his former girlfriend Rihanna in a car after a pre-Grammy’s party in 2009.
Speaking previously about the assault, Rihanna revealed she had to "fend him off".
She said: "I fended him off with my feet. He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blacked-out. There was no person when I looked at him. It was almost as if he had nothing to lose. He had so much to lose. It wasn’t the same person that says I love you. It definitely wasn’t those eyes.
"I was battered, I was bleeding, I was swollen in the face. So there was no way of me getting home, except … to get out of the car and walk. Start walking in a gown, in a bloody face."
Chris sentenced to five years of probation, one year of domestic violence therapy, and six months of community service for the assault, which he completed in March 2015.
