Shane Martin, who runs meet-and-greets, praised Brown’s interaction with fans on Instagram.
“Typically, artists pose for the image, maybe shake a hand or two, and then continue speaking, so the experience lasts about 20 to 30 seconds,” Martin wrote. “But Chris Brown shook hands with everyone, gave several hugs, signed several things and took a lot of very entertaining photos with each person! He actually stood there and talked to each fan for 3-4 minutes. He asked her name, her life and so many other questions.”
The brouhaha over Brown’s meet and greets comes after he was accused of hitting a woman in 2021 and being sued for rape earlier this year.
In 2009, Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna, who has since forgiven him.
