When Chris Brown burst into tears during a tribute to Michael Jackson at the BET Awards – most of us were genuinely moved.
But was the R&B star’s emotional stage act all just a show?
Well fellow music star Lloyd claims that he was the one who encouraged the ‘Run It’ star to shed some tears, in order to win over the public.
In an interview with Rap Up, the rapper said of the 21-year-old’s performance,
“He's back with a vengeance. I think that they're gonna find a place in their heart for him again.
"I told him man, you gotta get up there. You gotta cry, you gotta really show your heart to the world.”
Well one person who was definitely convinced by Chris’ tribute is Jermaine Jackson.
The King of pop’s older brother told Extra, "To see [Chris'] performance, it was very emotional for me, because it was an acceptance from his fans from what has happened to him and also paying tribute to my brother."
And snubbing reports that his tears were simply a way to gain sympathy from fans who abandoned him following the attack on Rihanna, he added,
"He deserves to perform, because it's healing for him.
"How can he learn from his mistakes if you don't give him a chance? He needs that. I love Rihanna, and I'm not supporting what he did, but I support him [as a singer] 100 percent.”
