BARBADOS RADIO STATIONS REFUSING TO PLAY CHRIS BROWN'S MUSIC
By Hip Hop News

B Chris Brown has been Banned from the air in Rihanna's home country of Barbados. So much so that Industryfinest.com has learned that EVERY RADIO STATION on the island is boycotting Chris Brown's music.

Sources spoke with an insider at one of Barbados' most popular radio stations who explained, "No one is playing Chris Brown records in Barbados .... the ban will go on indefinitely."

Since the emergence of the story, we've received over 150 Blog comments regarding the situation.

WHITNEY wrote: I'M STILL GOING TO SUPPORT CHRIS BROWN UNTIL THE END. I DONT CARE IF HE DID IT OR NOT. OBVIOUSLY SHE PROVOKED HIM AND EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES SO, IM NOT GOING TO DOWN TALK HIM NOR TRY TO BRING HIM DOWN LIKE THE WHITE MEDIA IS GOING TO. HE'S STILL A KID. KIDS MAKE DUMB CHOICES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. GIVE THE KID A BREAK IT'S HIS FIRST TIME IN HIS 4 YEAR CAREER.

shukura wrote: By the way, from what I understand Chris Brown is not from the ghetto and and domestic violence happens everywhere. For anyone to suggest that only ghetto people hit their mates is ludicrous. Gosh, why do people always have to resort to racism when something happens in the news. It gets old and very tired.

Damn shame wrote: This man is facing allegations, yet we don't know all the facts and some have already tried and convicted him. This is why I hate the feminazi movement. Don't get that confused with women't rights either. And yes, I am a woman.

Lindsey wrote: I really hope sometimg about this isn't true
I've been crying about this all day and would like to know the whole story.
Chris is a good guy that I would never think would do this.

Bentiz Lapor wrote: Poor Chris. His life wasn't easy and I understand his step dad beat his Mom which he hated. Clearly, Chris has some very deep scars that he thought he had a handle on, but doesn't. He will need to get help so he will learn how to control his temper (if he did hit her). I'll bet Rhianna was the one who hit him first and then he flashes back to childhood, and before you know it Rhianna has a black eye and a scratch on her face. I blame both parties for letting an argument escalate to that point. Sometime it's best to just close your mouth(Rhianna). Takes two to argue. Plus, if you can't get along then you shouldn't be together in the first place.

Some readers did side with Rhianna and were quick to defend her against the Chris Brown fans. See their comments after the jump...

Anaya said: I am a HUGE fan of both Chris Brown and Rihanna. What he did to Rihanna was unacceptable. PERIOD. POINT BLANK. However, we have to assume that he is innocent until he is proven guilty in court. Since this was a one time thing, he needs counseling, not jail time. He also will need the support of his fans and admirers. Of course we cannot forget about Rihanna. She did not deserve that. I hope she has a speedy and full recovery. We've got to remember they're young, and being a teenager myself (I'm 15), I can understand that he made a mistake. We all make mistakes so no one has room to judge Chris or Rihanna.
I pray for the best for both of them.

JC wrote: I don't understand how people can defend Brown! Calling him boo and saying they love him. I don't know what happened and I hope to God he didn't do it (although reports are saying he did) but just like we don't want to condemn him until he's proven guilty, don't show him any love either. I mean love him, sure but to be coming on here saying, "My boo, I love him, he'd never do it." Please don't glorify him until it's proven that he didn't do it. Just because he's handsome and can sing and dance is no reason to drool over him when he has these type of allegations hanging over his head!

disgusted wrote: Oh, I see the fangirls made here to the Times to defend that jerk! What is wrong with this generation of young girls that they will actually a person who would beat a woman, and give her injuries so bad that she winds up in a hospital? You'd never know there was a women's movement in this country 40 years ago with all of the "stand-by-your-man" mentality going on. It doesn't matter if Rihanna allegedly "started" it, Chris Brown went waaaaaay to far in "finishing it" and he needs to remain in jail for a long time to come for it!

Are good looks and celebrity status enough to get out of an alleged domestic violence charge? Are Rhianna and Chris Brown, as some other commenters suggested, the new Whitney and Bobby? Is beating a woman a defensible action in ANY possible situation? State your opinion below.

Rihanna's Dad Denies He's Homeless

Rihanna's dad, Robert Fenty says he's not homeless and he's accusing the international media of attempting to discredit his daughter by depicting him as a homeless man living in a car.

"It's an attempt by them to shift the focus from Chris Brown," Fenty tells UK's Sunday Sun.

"I am really upset about the whole incident. They had me all over the TV saying that I was living in a car and was homeless. I have a home in Warrens. I don't live in this car. Rihanna has done really well as a person from a small island and I know that she is up against the heavyweights, so they will do anything to discredit her."

Fenty admits he does sell items from his car, but he calls it "a job I do on the side just to keep me happy". He chided the media for trying to "dig up dirt on Rihanna", whom he described as being okay and in good health.

Rihanna has returned to the Barbados to be with her family and friends.

The Sunday Sun also reports the pop star is expected to issue her first public statement soon.

Meanwhile, Brown is believed to be in the Los Angeles area while police continue to investigate the alleged altercation last weekend in L.A.

Re: Rihanna's Dad Denies He's Homeless

Rhianna need to just stop with the show and tell the truth about what the hell happened that night.

She just don't come across as being as innocent as she would like people to think. For all we know, she probably even tired to use her damn Umbrella on Chris.

No one deserve a beat down but if you throw the first punch, expect retaliation and since they are both hood rats, it ain't that hard for them both to get U.G.L.Y.

Re: BARBADOS RADIO STATIONS REFUSING TO PLAY CHRIS BROWN'S M

i am surprised that rihanna actually has fans because on the net before this incidents her fellow african-americans seem all to dislike her, and her poor forehead always took a beating.

Re: BARBADOS RADIO STATIONS REFUSING TO PLAY CHRIS BROWN'S M

<span style="font-size: 11pt"> This may not even be a pertinent comment in light of these events, but it sure is sad that one celebrity boyfriend can ALLEGEDLY beat his girl who is also a celebrity and the world press has spent over a week on this.

I'm thinking about a mother who comes home from working to an irrate husband who just wants her to put something in the fridge in the wrong position so he can take his anger out on her.

Or my friend of mine whose oldest son had to take a baseball bat to this father to get him off his mother's throat.

If this incident does draw some more needed attention to the problem of domestic abuse, then I could say all the publicity might be worth it. If it makes Chris straighten up and never hit a woman again (cause ALLEGEDLY this is not the first time he has done this... and dang this baby is only 19, he's started being an abuser mighty young), then it might be worth it.

If it makes Rihanna see what I see when I look at her, one of the prettiest young ladies I have ever seen, with talent, and something of worth, not a punching bag (because supposedly this is not the first time he hit her, and WHY are you still with him?), someone who is worthy of better, then it is worth it.

But it's just a shame that when something happens to a celebrity it is of merit. Hell there are some women out there that get beat up every weekend. They need to go to Barbados and GET OUT..</span>

Re: BARBADOS RADIO STATIONS REFUSING TO PLAY CHRIS BROWN'S M

I am worried it might only make things worse when he is not punished enough or they go back with each other. Even more worrying is the number of women who claim to be backing his rights to brutality. But they have their motivations.

My youngest daughter is 20 yrs old and during our weekly Sunday dinner catch-up yesterday, her father started warning her about the results of &quot;hanging out with loser artists&quot; in reference to this incident, and her response made me stop to think:

<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;Dad, please stop jumping to conclusions. Is that fair to either people when you are only siding with the media? Isn't it time we stop being biased in our assessment of young black males and realize that women could also be the agitators and are taking advantage of our stereotypes&quot;</span>

My husband's response was &quot;fair enough, I guess we should wait to hear before we judge uhh?&quot;.

It is a very crazy world out there...watch how some people behave under stress...they make a complete 360 and change from being angels to complete devils.

The question is, is what Barbados doing politically correct? Will this guy be hit hard enough in the pocket book? Whateva, mi luv mi Bajans caan dun...dem still forward to the hilt. [no pun intended]
