Justin Bieber draws flak for supporting Chris Brown

Pop star Justin Bieber is under fire after supporting singer Chris Brown, who is currently under investigation for reportedly raping a woman in Paris. On Tuesday, Brown posted a video of him practicing a choreographed dance on Instagram and caption it “We Working.”

Bieber, a longtime friend of Brown, commented on the clip: “No one can touch you your the GOAT.” His statement suggests that he believes Brown over the rape accuser. Bieber’s support for Brown has got his fans confused. “The fact that you’re supporting a rapist, a known abuser, makes me sick to my stomach. I looked up to you, and this is honestly so disappointing.... Please educate yourself on the topic,” one wrote.

Another posted: “Justin No.” An Instagram user slammed the 24-year-old singer: “Justin you missed the incredible opportunity to stay silent.”
