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 a story about his appearance at a gay pride parade and a report that he stomped on a fan.
Watch TMZ’s footage of Chris Brown sitting during the National Anthem and see his Instagram posts below.
UPDATE
Additional footage has emerged via TMZ of Chris Brown at the Power 106 All-Star Celebrity Basketball game. In this video, he is confronting someone in the stands. It gets so heated that he stands on the bench to lean into the person he’s debating with. It is hard to discern what Breezy is saying over the loud music. The cops get involved and try to calm the situation. Brown walks away before anything gets physical.
“I don’t care who’s here. Get it straight,” one officer says, implying that Brown had a problem with someone being in attendance at the game.
Watch the footage below.

He’s a racist just like Colin
And you’re a Moron considering they are Mixed. And Colin is half white.
True, but they identify as black. Kinda like obama identifies as black, and Bob marley identified a Jamaican (all of them had one Caucasian parent).
You those who are mixed can’t be racist ?? lol, god you’re an idiot.
Your name fits you well. Brown isn’t mixed and they are not racist.
He hates white people and physically assaults women and calls them hoo’s ain’t loyal, I can’t buy his albums anymore or go to his concerts anymore. Chris Brown has gotten to gangster for a disney singer.
Because he beats ladies like a fucking scumbag piece of shit
It’s because he’s a controversial celeb, there are other people next to him not standing too you know. I dont listen to this guy anyway, he has always had some attitude. He will only be making headlines for bad reasons now.
Btw, how the fuck is Tyga with G.O.O.D Music? he is a trashy gobshite known for playing with children with a boner.
so he’s not an activist, he’s just a dumb lazy shithead. what a surprise.
Fuck Chris brown and Colin kaepernick u don’t deserve to be American citizens
I swear that most of the comments made on this site are by White supremacist.
And i swear your the dumbest fucking thot i have ever met and probably have 10 kids at home with no daddies and its why your always bitching so shut the fuck up
The word choice comes to mind wen I look at this an I can understand why he didn’t stand. I mean this the same country who threw rocks an spit on martin Luther king for taken a stand,who shot JFK for taken a stand for civil rights,rfk,Michael Jackson, Malcolm X,2pac etc.list goes on.so why stand for America wen they treat you like nothn.wen they ova tax you don’t won’t you have nothn wit out there knowledge.i am so tired of the media patronizing Chris every move like he’s the enemy,wen everybody knows bush responsible for 9/11
The Star Spangled Banner shouldn’t be an anthem that we recognize. It’s a racist anthem written by a known slave owner. That anthem does not represent the colorful world the United States has become and should be retired and never sung again. We have other anthems that represent our nation and we should use those. Not a racist anthem that has be instilled in us for generations.
You dont like the anthem that stands for the U.S then go run along on a ship back to africa and shut the fuck up no ones making you stay here
We will if you pay us reparations first. Share the wealth and resources and stop keeping it out of the hands of Black people, but they won’t do that because they wouldn’t be practicing racism.
The wealths out of your hands cause you dont fucking reach for it but heu keeo waiting on those reparations you lazy piece of shit your reparations are the negro college fund and NUMEROUS other government establishents and federal aide given from TAX PAYERS over the past 3/4 of a century or better and i know white people who have LEGITIMATE reasons not to work and they cant get a fucking penny but if your skin shades a darker color they cant give the benefits away fast enough and your right we should have just left your people to die of diseases and famine huh?
Look here you reptilian cave beast. White people are lazy. Matter of fact that’s why you brought us over here to do the work you couldn’t do your damn self. Thats why corporations and the elite would rather have illegal immigrants , so they can pay them less. You call us lazy yet your government and corporations stifle progress. The negro college fund is bullshit and all those other so called entitlements. Those entitlement were not exclusively set up for Black people and are used by Latino, lgbtq and other groups. Certain other so called benefits that were exclusively for Black people are being used by other groups because the laws were changed to include them. You complain about the government giving out benefits but White people make up the majority of welfare recipients. A lot of those benefits that the government gives goes to corporations, special interest groups and banks. White people also received handouts when the government gave them free land and tools. Our ancestors made a mistake in the civil rights movement by seeking social acceptance and love. Instead they should have fought for the economic resources to become self sufficient. All of Africa isn’t disease and famine. Thats an ignorant statement. Who knows what would of happened without the slave trade, and colonization . (European and Arab)
Yep white people are soooooo fucking lazy thats why when i was setting up my businesses i was working 80+ hours a WEEK bet your bitch ass dont even work that in 2 weeks and FYI YOUR OWN FUCKNG PEOPLE USE THERE OWN PEOPLE like diddy talking about how people need to bend over backwards for a black vote manipulating his own people to his own will and so do alot of other black leaders you fucking sap and in aware not ALL of africa is that way but tell me another continent on the planet thats as ravaged as africa BY ITS OWN PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EACHOTHER thats tou self reliant system black people manipulating black people instead if white people manipulating black people now anyways im gonna go back to enjoying counting the ,,, in my bank account and you keep bitching now and get absolutley nothing and have yourself a good day
Thats an individual example about yourself. I work and i’m also in college finishing up my degree. Diddy is right Black people need to leave all political parties and vote as an independent voting block. There are 42 million of us in this country our votes have a lot of power. We should only vote for candidates who address our issues. You say Africa is ravaged. Let’s see certain countries in the middle east. India is pretty fucked up. Greece is in debt. You have shitholes in eastern Europe. People of a certain religion are fucking up Europe right now. I can’t name all of the places off the top of my head. The reason you brought up the disfunction in Africa is because you are trying to make a point that African people are so incompetent that the can’t run anything without European assistance. That is classic White supremacist rhetoric. I’m not bitching about anything I work for mine.
Don’t trip Djf’s mother is a meth addict who never gave him love.
Blacks are some of the hardest working people I’ve been blessed to meet. Whites are really trying to prevent them from succeeding, and I this because I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I’ve watched many of my esteemed colleagues legitamely throw away applications resumes from highly black me and women without shame or a care in the world. Makes me sick to my stomach that my people can continuously break these people down, like there will be no karmic justice. One day, the shoe will be on the other foot, and reparations wont be enough to quell their pains and suffering.
God damn dude go listen to some more white privelage shit already…. PEOPLE are hardworking and resiliant the COLOR dont fucking matter and black people colonized europe huh? Oh yea thats why i see so many africans vs caucasian or bronzed brown skin colored people when i go to europe? And oh yea african americans must have founded america too….oh wait that was the NATIVE AMERICAN and the WHITE MAN who colonized america just if you go back to europe who were the natives of eastern europe? oh yeah the SAXONS and people of pagan viking descent…better go read a history book and not just some hateful propoganda against white people learn to have some love for yourself i believe every race every color has its pros and cons but its just the stereotypes we ourselfs have instilled within ourselfs to the point that they become a reality and the back to africa statement is used when an african american bitches abour how horrible they have it in america and how we force them to live here like there slaves still which NO ONE DOES and when chances are there distant relative who has lived in africa for generations dont even have plumbing clean drinking water food everyday or even an economy beyond the bartering system and the typical life expentancybfor male and female is 60-70 when in american its not uncommon to live to 80+ yet all i ever hear is reparations this reparations that you want reparations bitch you people got it better than alot of your distant relatives rather than go there help and grow an economy worth living in and taking your knowledge there and teaching your distant relatives you rather sit here and bitch and wait for a hand out to help you yet you cant even offer yourself to go help your distant relatives who are ACTUALY suffering so in other words keep waiting on those reparations just like your distant relatives are waiting on you to come home and help build a continent worth living on…
And fyi if they wanna get violent last time i checked in the U.S caucasian outnumber african americans 5-1 and i wont even get into how many more guns that white people possesse than african americans either so anyone wants to riot and try and get violent with me or anyone i love over not being given a hand out then we will play the game of do you wanna be hit with a 7.62 5.56 .308 .223 9mm .45 .50 AE or .300 black out round and other than the 9mm .45 and .50 any of tose caibers will have a 50-100 round magazine full…
Never really understood the whole “go back to Africa” rebuttle, when blacks were the founders of 90% of Europe, Asia, and America as well. As far as the rest of my peoples views about blacks, we are totally responsible for the destruction of their ancestors, which i dont feel personally guilty for but willing to fix. Quit shooting blacks down because thats not what America should represent.

Chris Brown doesn’t stand for National Anthem? Cool, the rest of the nation can abandon this silly protest. Chris Brown, the ultimate equalizer. God I hope he starts shopping on Black Friday, that shits starting to get old too.
Oh say can you see, this is not hip hop news….
Actually Chris Brown is someone who should stand up for the National Anthem. The crimes he has done would get a normal person lengthy prison time.
Oh yeah, why are we stuck with this asshole, Bieber and Kanye in L.A.?
