Chris Brown just warmed fans' hearts with a picture of him and his three children: daughter Royalty, 8, son Aeko Catori, 3, and daughter Lovely Symphani, 1. Moreover, the children laid in Brown's arms as he put on a goofy smile for the snap, and people gushed over their cuteness. Of course, this pic came amid the R&B star's continued presence in the headlines for many more reasons. For example, many fans took note of his lewd and provocative choreography at Rolling Loud Thailand, which got fans either feeling sweaty or slightly uncomfortable.
However, a lot of discussion around Brown these days centered around his controversial collaborations, as well. One of these was "Freaky Friday" with Lil Dicky, who remarked on the race-swapping concept of the track and reckoning with Brown's history of abuse. As a big fan of the "Yeah 3x" singer, Dave said that he felt touched by Brown giving him props, and said that song opened many doors for him. Also, he said that he "knows his heart is good" at the end of the day, referring to people criticizing him for working with a past abuser.

In addition, Chlöe addressed her fans' backlash to her collab with Chris Brown for similar reasons. She remarked in a podcast interview that she "always just [wants to] let the music speak for itself. And to be honest, no matter what I do, people always find things to say about it, so I’m used to it. I just choose to ignore it. People have every right to their opinions, freedom of speech, and it’s up to me to choose what I give my attention and energy to. Everything I’m doing is ordained by God, and I’m walking in my purpose, and anybody who has a problem with that can kiss my booty."
Meanwhile, the 33-year-old just let fans know that another collaboration is on the way, this time with Ciara. "ME AND @ciara got some [fire] coming," he shared to Instagram. Time will tell whether reception to it differs from those recent examples. No matter what side of that debate you fall on, at least it seems like his children are by his side.
