Chris Brown Takes on Impersonator, Slamming Lookalike’s Ambition

American R&B star Chris Brown has fired back at up-and-coming artist Tigo Fariah, who has been impersonating him on social media. Brown responded to one of Fariah’s posts, urging the young artist to find his own identity rather than copying him.

In the now-viral comment, Brown blasted Fariah, saying, "It’s lame as fck impersonating me. You look like you’re missing a chromosome. Be you, my ngga. You could never be me! So stop it before I slap the sh*t out of you." The explosive reaction has sparked mixed responses from fans and critics alike, with some viewing Brown’s outburst as an over-the-top response.

Fariah had been posting content on his Instagram handle, @tigoarte, where he mimicked Brown’s style and wardrobe, including his signature dreadlocks. However, Brown has made it clear he does not appreciate the imitation, pointing out that no matter how hard Fariah tries, he could never replicate Brown’s unique persona.

The exchange marks another high-profile instance of celebrity scrutiny, with many speculating about the motivations behind Fariah’s impersonation. As social media platforms continue to shape the music industry’s identity, the debate surrounding inspiration vs. imitation remains unresolved.
