Chris Brown seemingly joined the growing number of those supporting Colin Kaepernick’s protest of the National Anthem at Power 106’s All Star Celebrity Game yesterday on the anniversary of 9/11.
In footage shared by TMZ, Tank addresses the recent controversy around the National Anthem to the crowd at USC’s Galen Center and asks the fans to join him in honoring the lives of those lost in the terrorist attacks 15 years ago. Breezy stays seated while Tank sings “The Star Spangled Banner,” but wasn’t the only one as some of his teammates sat beside him in front of the scorer’s table. Despite his decision not to stand, the Royalty singer nods along with the tune.
Breezy took to Instagram after the game to address the accusations with a series of posts to seemingly deny protesting the National Anthem. One featured a screenshot of the TMZ story with the caption “Stay classy!” and another one showed a picture of himself at the game bending backward with the explanation “Dodging this bullshit like.”
Brown has had numerous issues with the celebrity news site, including blasting them for astory about his appearance at a gay pride parade and a report that he stomped on a fan.
