CELEBS on SOCIAL MEDIA: Chris Brown Comment Bombs on Ex’s Post With New Boyfriend
Karrueche InstagramChris Brown comments on Karrueche Tran’s Instagram
Chris Brown is being dragged on social media for a series of comments he made on a since-deleted Instagram post by his ex Karrueche Tran. In the photo, Karrueche is standing with her new boyfriend, ex-NFL player Victor Cruz, as the two show off their outfits.
All in separate comments Brown wrote, “Nothing bad or major, UPGRADE HIM SIS,” and offered to “take him around and style him.” The R&B singer didn’t stop there. He added “NOT HATE. Just some game spirit.” And then “UPGRADE YA MAN BOO” and that Cruz looks “like he shopping of(f) the manakin and trying to bargain with the sales manager. Retired wrestler spanks.”
These comments were clearly made to embarrass the former New York Giant, and he was quickly called out for perhaps still having some lingering feelings toward his ex.
VIRAL MOMENT EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT: Author Nicholas Sparks Accused of Being Racist & Homophobic
After The Daily Beast released leaked e-mails between author Nicholas Sparks, 53, and Saul Benjamin, the former headmaster and CEO of the Epiphany School of Global Studies, the North Carolina faith-based prep school that The Notebook writer co-founded in 2006, fans were not happy at what they read. In the letters made available to the public Sparks allegedly said the lack of black people attending his school were because they were “too poor and can’t do the academic work” and moved to ban students from forming LGBTQ groups.
Benajamin and Sparks have been in a legal battle since 2014, in which Benjamin accuses Sparks of harassment, racism and homophobia, and the lawsuit is scheduled for six-day trial in court this August. Sparks responded on Twitter to The Daily Beast’s article with a letter in which he called Benjamin’s allegations “false” and “not news.”
