Media Talk Africa: Latest Headlines in Politics, Business, Sports, and More

Legendary American rapper Fat Joe has recently expressed his admiration for Chris Brown, proclaiming him as the most gifted singer, hitmaker, and performer of our era. On his podcast ‘The Biggest Fat Joe,’ he lamented that if not for Brown’s early career controversy involving Rihanna, the artist could have reached the heights of the late “King of Pop,” Michael Jackson.

Joe emphasized Brown’s unparalleled talent and urged the public to move beyond the incident with Rihanna, highlighting that over two decades have passed without further similar incidents. He passionately called for recognition of Brown’s contributions to R&B, dubbing him the unacknowledged “King of R&B.”

The 2009 incident with Rihanna led to a significant backlash against Brown, with many music fans, particularly in the Western world, distancing themselves from his work.
