Although we thought our semi-apologist essay on budding R&B legend Chris Brown would allow us some leeway with Team Breezy. We were wrong.
Last night, instead of heading inside to watch Brown float across the audience, singing and dancing, we were only allowed outside of the American Airlines Arena to speak with a handful of his biggest fans.
We asked them each three questions. To preface these inquiries, we should mention Chris Brown did get into some legal trouble a few years back for beating up his ex, singer Rihanna. Also, there were recent accusations made by unknown R&B crooner Martyn claiming he'd done the dirty deed with Brown. Martyn is a man, even though he spells his name with a "y." Brown denies any sexual contact with the dude.
Anyway, see the cut for the fans' reactions to questions about Breezy, his haters, and his alleged homosexuality.

What do you have to say to his haters?
I mean, who doesn't like Chris Brown. There was talk that he hit Rihanna. I still think that was more talked about than what really happened. I don't think anyone dislikes him. He's doing his thing and he's good at it. He's always coming out with new stuff.
There are rumors that he's gay. What do you think about that?
If he's gay, he's gay. I mean, embrace it. There's so many gay people out there right now. I think he can still make good music regardless of his sexual preference.
