Radio Stations Stop Playing Chris Brown Songs!
Filed under: Rihanna > Music Minute > Legal Matters > Chris Brown
And the drama with alleged female beater Chris Brown continues!
In the aftermath of his arrest for domestic abuse, Brown has been dropped suspended from his Wrigley's gum ads and his MILK ads have also been pulled.
Now, a radio station in Cleveland, WAKS FM 96.5, has pulled all music by Chris Brown from airplay!
Java Joel, the station's evening host, said in a press release issued by Clear Channel that "After the alleged incident the phones exploded. It's all that people wanted to talk about. They were outraged at this alleged behavior and wondered why we were continuing to support his music. I agreed and immediately pulled all Chris Brown songs from my show until this thing shakes out in the legal system."
That's when the station's program director, Bo Matthews, decided to pull Brown's music off from the station entirely. Matthews said, "It appears that Chris has made some poor choices, we are following the lead of our listeners, and we will not be supporting Chris Brown on 96.5 Kiss FM in Cleveland until the alleged situation gets resolved."
We agree.
Some things are just not tolerable!

boo 4 chris brown
love how perez writes 'we agree. somethings r not tolerable' but continues to blog abt chris lol
Good. Punkass!
yeahhh cleveland! represent
he fucked up big time!!!
good, his music was annoying anyway
yeah, that sounds about right.
HIS SONGS SUCKED ANYWAYS WHEN HE WAS ALL FAME
Bossip just received the real story of Chris Brown and Rihanna’s fight from a highly placed source in the Chris Brown legal camp:
They were in the car leaving the Clive Davis party. While Chris was driving, he got a phone call from a young lady. Our source tells us that Rihanna knew that Chris had been messing around with this particular girl and she has, as of late, been the reason for many of their heated arguments. Rihanna got a glimpse of the phone, saw the name and number and immediately recognized who it was. She went ballistic and began to “beat the sh*t” out of Chris (while driving). She was so uncontrollable, that Chris began to fight back in self defense, which ensued the fight. Rihanna’s rage stemmed from Chris’ questionable fidelity in the last few months.
The bastard's dead in the water!
Holy Shit. His career is officially over. He's probably lost most of his fans by now. As Rihanna would say, it's gonna take a miracle to bring him back.
well it is kinda hard to look at him the same way..
This is not true. My musik is still gonna be played on da radio nonstop. Afterall my musik is da most popular on da radio, way more popular den dat slut Rihanna, so they have no choice except to play my hits!!!
I ain't goin to prison!!! Suckers!!
sad
I have to say it again, if she gave him herpes and threw shit at him and they were already in a violently physical relationship to begin with, why not pull BOTH artists until we know the truth.
agree.
I think that's kind of stupid, why didn't ppl do that shit with R. Kelly and his 70 million installments of being in a closet?
I figured out Perez's big surprise it has something to do with Britney Spears all his clues are lyrics from a britney spears song!!! Oh yea I'm a genius
And So another Career ends !!! good for him
Im already sorry for posting propoganda. Clearly, Perez's site isnt the one to be on for accurate reporting. There is no excuse for his behavior if that's what turns out to be true.
UM that's retarded. these are just ALLEGATIONS!! what happened to innocent until proven guilty?!?!
I knew this was going to happen.
Re: aj – because chris wasn't in the hospital maybe???? And a man just CAN'T beat a woman!
NOBODY DOESENT EVEN KNOWS THE WHOLE STORY YET
SO WHY JUDGE
WHAT'RE YOU DOING WITH BRITNEY?!!!!!!!!??
What can I say, Im a playaaaaa!!!
Virgin radio 96 in montreal also pulled his songs from off the air
screw that.
yeah, he fucked up.
but i like his music.
I'm changing my radio station
good. i fucking hate chris brown.
i think we should hear ALL the details before his whole career is ruined. he has worked really hard, people deserve a second chance and i'm sure he regrets it. i don't mean to say that was he did wasn't wrong but he's still really young and has alot of growing to do.
Re: aj – There you go startin' shit again aj, is harry gonna have to spank you?
i'm currently disgusted by chris brown, and his music isn't to great so good on them for taking it off the radio
Should get someone to beat the shit out of him. I wont ever listen to him. Defense or not. He should have been a MAN and walked away. Fucking loser…
whyjudge chris brown
when ya dont fucking judge other people
like r.kelly when he did wa he did ya still played his fucking music
and i choose chris over rihanna anyday
fuck perez for not liking chris why dont you call rihanna a hoe qiving him herpes dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !
I LOVE YOU CHRIS IDGAF .
GOOD! I hope he never gets played on the radio again. UNFORGIVABLE! Totally UNFORGIVABLE!
His endorsers need to take a strong look at any and all of his endorsements. This is a heavy day, make the right decision and drop him. This is intolerable. It makes me sick and shocks my conscience, GO TO HELL CHRIS BROWN… "Forever"
i dont really care bout chris brown or riri.
PEREZ UR OBVIOUSLY TALKING BOUT BRITNEY SPEARS! that was obvious since the "all eyes on me" "clue" now will you just tell us why you're such a britney suck up when untill probably a few days after "womanizer" was top of the charts, you hated her and made sure everyone who followed ur blog woudl hate her too?
LOOK EVERYBODY!!! ITS A FALLING STAR!!!! MAKE A WISH!!!!
thank god.. I'm so sick of his songs. I wish they stopped playing his music EVERYWHERE.
Re: Laury – youd be surprised they're all blind saying that he's innocent and that even if he did do it she deserved it and that they still love him through it all. I cant help but wonder if they said the same if it was their sister or daughter..
I will judge. I have no problem with judging this creep, anyone who says that is ignorant. Not speaking up about an issue gives it the impression it's right, it's not right. Screw off people. You will be judged, stop acting like your God already. People judge, it's human nature.
"All ya gotta do is watch me… look what I can do with my FISTS" - Chris Brown's real lyrics
i still love him
I'm not surprised. People in Cleveland are depressed fucktards who think LeBron James is the President. He got seriously owned at home by the Lakers.
the same thing is happening here in reno…
and this weekend they're gonna have a get well soon card for everyone to sign to send to RiRi…
what a mess…
So if we pull Chris Brown tunes we should pull R.Kelly, Micheal Jackson, Eminem-he actually sang songs about killing his wife!!!! I get it we're all upset about him being a piece of s#it but if we are going to boycott we shouldn't be selective…should we take a stand against anyone who does something illegal….man pot is illegal! there goes every song on the radio!!!!
Re: Stevie. – lol!!
E! news just said that he choked her, they fought outside of the car, she passed out and when she woke up he wasn't there
i believe in chris brown and i knoe that he didnt hit rihanna people are just jumping to conclusions … the media dont knoe what there talking about its all hearsay that ther reporting…
PEREZ' SURPRISE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH BRITNEY SPEARS
he keeps posting her lyrics like the last one took a sip from my devils cup.thats from toxic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: PaintballerCHICK – if he cheated and she reacted that way (i would have reacted that way too if my man was messin around) than that makes him even more of a a wuss to beat the hell out of her !
hot 93.1 here in rapid city, sd stopped playing his music too! ha.
Great job at royally fucking up your life and career, Chris. Really.
Re: dengstah – i agree i was just thinking that. No one knows exactly what happen yet so why is everyone pretending they know all the facts. leave the kid alone until all facts come out not just hear say
I wish Kiisfm would stop playing him. I used to tolerate it when I heard it, now I just switch to another station.
Re: Stevie. – lol!
THIS WHOLE STORY DOES NOT ADD UP! WHERE WERE THE PHOTOGS AND BODYGUARDS WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED? WHY IS HE "ONLY" BEING CHARGED WITH MAKING CRIMINAL THREATS? DID SHE DO HIM BODILY HARM AS WELL? PEREZ, I DO NOT THINK THAT RHI RHI IS THE SWEET INNOCENT PRINCESS U R MAKING HER OUT TO BE! THE TRUTH HAS NOT UNFOLDED YET! NO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED, WHY? THIS IS SO SUSPECT AND I DONT CONDONE VIOLENCE OF ANY SORT, BUT MY GUT IS TELLING ME NOT 2 JUMP TO CONCLUSINS 2 FAST.
There's a picture on Sandra Rose where you can clearly see Chris' right fist red and swollen when he went to the police station. Too bad it's watermarked so that Perez can't steal it!
gawd perez! why are you attacking CB like this? you dont even know the facts! how do you know Rihanna didnt provoke him? i dont agree with men hitting women but what if he was defending himself? everyone is like "oh poor RiRi" but "oh Chris Brown is a woman beater" and yet we dont even know the whole story… i know you're entitled to your opinion, but honestly, stop the attacking and get your stories together before you assume sh*t.
and the radio station is trying to gain publicity over this so called Scandal if Chris brown really hit her don't you think today when the dea got the case they would have filed charges against him instead of telling the cops to do more investigation on this allege assault on rihanna…
[p.s]-i support chris brown 100%
hahahahahaha he deserves it
Re: harrybalsac – darlin Ive been waiting on you all day! I'm especially hungry tonight. Ya gotta provoke posts from the peeps, yes?
Re: MissFitz – its "feet"!!!!! the song is about DANCING AT A CLUB. come on now..lets not reach for things that arent there.
Re: jordanknows – There is a difference, Michael Jackson can sing and entertain, his music is infectious. Chris Brown is like an annoying mosquito. Also, those allegations against Michael are lies, if they were so devastated, why did they choose to settle out of court? Sounds like it was just a setup to me from the beginning.
We work at a radio station in the Cayman Islands, X 107.1 (www.x1071.ky) and we have also pulled all Chris Brown Songs! Lets get the facts, then we will give him back airtime!
I find this pretty ridiculous. I'm not a hardcore fan of Chris Brown, or Rihanna, but… I find it all too funny how people are trying to correlate Chris Brown's music career with his personal life. Now, I am no where close to saying that what he did was right, but… right now, we're basing our opinions on minimal things (we can't even call "facts) we've heard from different people's "sources." If he is found guilty of this crime, then… okay, he gets what he deserves. But, R. Kelly's music was never taken off the air. Neither was Michael Jackson's, or T.I.'s… Lol, ridiculous.
oh fuck you Perez. You violate women on your website daily. fat greasy ugly pig.
Are they still playing R-Kelly?? DMX? AKON? Wacko??Bobby Brown?? 10000 other artist who have committed crimes? Whether its drug related, child abuse, spousal abuse, its unfair to single out Chris Brown …. I think he is pathetic and RUINNNEDDD his career … But the radio station shouldnt cut his airplay..Its up the the public to stop requesting his music if you want to take a stand against him and his violent act….If we had to pull out the artists in this world who have done so, the radio would be dead air…Just sayin… hope this isnt a case of BIGGER FAME as in most cases….
Re: tinadiamonds – well then ovi your jus as stupid as chris brown seriously he beat a women! wow isnt he a man and whats this shit bout herpes nobody knows that.. he didnt say anything about it so clearly its jus a RUMOR.. oh and guess what CHRIS BROWNS MUSIC ALWAYS SUCKED!!!
i think its stupid how ppl are talkin smack when nothing is confirmed….nobody knows the whole story so quit acting like you know….i cant believe how ppl can just assume the worst…..
Please Dear Lord, let God's ultimate plan be for Miley Cyrus to beat the shit out of someone so we never have to hear that fucking hillbilly's tone deaf voice again.
The radio stations may not be playing him but I swear everytime a commerical Break comes up they play His Double Mint Gum Commercial….I still can't believe he would do something like that. And I liked him!!! Stupid chris brown.
Wow, his career is spiraling downward.
Okay, so you are working with Britney Spears now? You used to make fun of her when she was at the lowest point in her life, you called her Unfitney just over a year ago, you disliked the fact that Gimme more reached # 1 on iTunes… why did she even think about working with you? Oh well.
What if it turns out Rihanna busted Chris Brown up side the head first?
pretty sure NO ONE knows the full story except for chris brown & rihanna so everyone NEEDS to shut the fuck up. it's annoying how EVERYONE is just assuming shit they don't even know about. i fucking love chris brown….STOP HATIN
He deserves it!
I will marry him
he's SEXXXXXXXXXXXXy.
I'm sorry but his music is BUNK!!
Am I the ONLY one invisioning Beyonce and Ne-yo somewhere laughing thier assesOFF and giving high fives!!??
good for them, i hope that more stations follow and stop playing his music too. fucking bastard.
Give me a break! What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty. Talk about dramatic! losing commercial air time, stations stop playing his music - this is excessive when you consider he may be dealing with a possibly psychotic woman!
representing cleveland and a 96.5 listener this makes me happy. chris brown should be ashamed of his actions and his behavior. he has always come across as a slimeball and i have NEVER liked or enjoyed his music anyway. my prayers are with rihanna and her family and i hope she heals quickly physically as well as emotionally.
Yea, it's a shame how he just compleatly destroyed his career. =[
But I guess next time he'll think more before he acts.
And I haven't heard anything by chris brown on ANY radio station in southern nj (where I live atleast) since sunday.
I live in Cleveland— They def did stop . . . Rock on, good choice. Nobody should be respected for touching a girl the way he has, not even Chris Brown. I don't care how famous you are!! . . . I'm so disappointed in Chris- such a waste.
Excellent!
booooooo he fucking sucks, hes so fucking ugly, along with her soon to be ex gf, i mean seriously, they both sucks, boo hoo, this kind of shit happens all the time, and just bc they are famous big ole deal, wtf, whatever, they are both ugly and dont really have any talent, lets see if we still hear from them in about 2-3 yrs.
All radio should stop playing this LOSERS music! There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for his behavior, i don't care what she did. He is well on his way to the "Ike Turner Lifetime Achievement Award". What a shame he threw away a great career..for what? for nothing. It just proves, he never deserved it to begin with. YOU DON'T HIT WOMEN EVER!!! NEVER! F*CK-CHRIS-BROWN
he is FINE though i dont really care i heard he beat her cuze he gave him herpes and if a dude gave me herpes i would be beatin him with a baseball bat so you know what can you do perez please report whether the herpes rumor is true or false
ALL the radio stations in my part of the country pulled him. But I think it's really stupid to pull only HIS music when T.I., R Kelly, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, and LOTS of other singers are doing illeagal things too. If they're gonna pull chris, they should atleast pull everyone else too
damn…what happened Chris?…if all this is true, the boy needs some help!!!! violence is NEVER the answer…hitting a girl is really douchey…
Re: wilddove –
You are a complete idiot! NO matter how psycotic she is, you dont' hit/abuse women. dumbass!
AGREE!!!! Hope Vancouver's radio stations would do the same!
Michael Jackson never committed any crimes. If the parents and the children who are grown up now believe that they were molested by him, they would have ensured Michael was fully persecuted and still sue him and get the money. But no, they chose to settle out of court and didn't bother to continue persuing justice, obviously the parents set them up for it. Its just that Michael is a weakling at heart.
Seriously, Rihanna is a little girl, not to be mean but litteraly, chris is like twice her sizee, not a fair fight i
Re: mykittycali –
EXACTLY
everyone is acting ignorant and bias!
good!!!!! don't support that bastard what so ever
so it is given that Chris Brown has hit rihanna. so she's bruised and all. nowm the question is wh
so it is given that Chris Brown has hit rihanna. so she's bruised and all. now the question is what drove him to do such thing? an article in eonline says rihanna grabbed the keys and tossed it outside the car making Brown look for it in vain. and rihanna wont tell authorities what happened and the cause of the squabble. there's also report that brown threatened to kill rihanna because of too much anger. there is always two sides to a story.
Ok… so what? This is getting way too old an neither Chris or Rihanna are issuing any statement… I doubt Rihanna will press charges against him and chances are that Chris will walk out of this one clean… post about something MORE interesting Pig!
I don't think things happened the way we have been told it happened.
power 96.5 in miami, fl is no longer playing chris brown songs either. just heard the dj and a listener have a little argument about it. he says they appreciate the opinions but "no more chris brown"
that's good for that wife beater.
He really fucked up! Don't want to see him anymore!
