American R&B singer Chris Brown has publicly criticized an emerging artist, Tigo Fariah, for impersonating him on social media. Fariah, who has been sharing content on Instagram under the handle @tigoarte, often dresses and styles himself to resemble Brown.
The situation escalated when Brown commented directly on one of Fariah’s posts, urging the young artist to forge his own identity instead of mimicking him. Brown’s comment was unequivocal in its disapproval:
“It’s lame as fck impersonating me. You look like you are missing a chromosome. Be you my ngga. You could never be me! So stop it before I slap da sh*t out of you.”
Brown’s harsh remarks sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many users criticizing him for what they perceived as an overreaction. Critics argue that his response was unnecessarily harsh and dismissive towards Fariah, who appears to be an admirer and aspiring artist.
