Is Chris Brown a music legend?
Chris Brown and his image have evolved dramatically since he first hit the music scene as a teenager. Since his reputation suffered some major blows due to several scandals, he hasn’t had the benefit of a squeaky clean image when attempting to top the charts. However, considering his many setbacks, he has managed to stay impressively relevant by continuing to put out quality hits and simply reminding the world that he still has an amazing voice and iconic dance skills.
Chris Brown is now trending on Twitter thanks to his collaborative single with Young Thug, “Go Crazy.” The track has hit No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Chris’ biggest radio hit since 2008.
It is no mystery why Chris Brown’s commercial success took a major dip after 2008. The singer famously assaulted his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, resulting in brutal pictures of Rih’s injuries being plastered all over the internet. Since then, Chris’ name has been brought up several more times in relation to scandal and criminal activity, making it hard for fans to stay loyal to him despite his obvious talent. The success of “Go Crazy” might mark a road to redemption for Brown since those streaming the song are obviously willing to forgive and forget, or perhaps are just more concerned about the music than Chris’ tumultuous past.

“Go Crazy” first dropped way back in May of 2020, making its climb up the chart even more impressive nearly eight months later.
Fans are sharing their excitement for the singer online as well, expressing their relief that his name is finally trending for positive reasons rather than new drama. Everyone is hoping 2021 will be a fresh start, and it looks like Breezy might finally have a real chance to turn a new leaf in his life going into the new year.
Here’s what some Team Breezy fans are saying on Twitter.
