Last time a Chris Brown collab was announced, it prompted criticism and an Instagram rant from him just a couple of days ago.

Chris Brown hinted at another Cassie collab, who will appear in his upcoming music video for "Psychic" featuring Jack Harlow. Moreover, the R&B singer posted a short snippet of the music video and a picture with Cassie. "GIRL YA PSYCHIC PSYCHIC," he commented the post. While this is surely exciting news for fans, it also came at a bit of an odd time for Brown. After all, following the announcement of his Chlöe collab, fans brought up his history of abuse against women again and past mistakes. Although this wouldn't be a new collaboration, it's another bit of fuel in the fire at this point.

Furthermore, the "Look At Me Now" star exploded on social media at his critics. “If y’all still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17-year-old, please kiss my whole entire a**!” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “I’m f***ing 33! I’m so tired of y’all running wit this narrative .. All y’all can suck my d**k disrespectfully. Where are the cancel culture with these white artists that date underage women, beat the f**k out of their wive, giving b***hes AIDS? Oh. That’s right.. they are your buddies. No more fake love from me.. Stay out my way or get ran over simple as that! None of you and I mean none of you n***as can f**k with me.”

Still, reactions were relatively split online concerning his new collab, though both camps were incredibly vocal. "Me watching y’all outage over Chris Brown and Chloe but he just did a tour and it sold out," one tweeter remarked. "Somebody lying on twitter but go off." In addition, another pointed out more wrongdoing on Brown's behalf. "The Chris Brown backlash Chloe is getting isn’t even just about Rihanna? He literally mocked Kehlani after her 2016 suicide attempt?"

Regardless, fans will choose whether to support this new video with Cassie or not. While artists like Lil Baby didn't receive much flack for touring with Breezy, many called out double standards for criticisms of Chlöe. However you may feel about the situation, it's fair to say both sides have to consider other factors. Still, check back in with HNHH for the latest on Chris Brown.
