Chris Brown and his music are the focus of a UK smear campaign aimed at bringing awareness to domestic violence...
In HMV stores all over London, Chris Brown's latest cd 'Fortune' has been slapped with stickers warning purchasers, 'Do not buy this album! This man beats women.'

AMEN
Sadly, as much as they wanted to make a message, they are about to get sued.
If you have qualms with an artist, DON'T carry their products. Putting up a sticker like that is the equivalent to writing gossip on the bathroom walls.
Be adults...
How can it be a smear if it's true?
They should do this to Beyonce too.
Put stickers in her CDs that say: THIS TALENTLESS HO STEALS SONGWRITING CREDITS.
The shit sound like a complete waste of time. Most likely, anybody buyin' a Chris Brown cd already knows of his infamy for what he did to Rihanna..
You choose the behavior you choose the consequences.
People need to let this guy just make music. Rihanna got over it so I don't see why anyone else should hold this against him.
I'm buying his album just because of that.
UMadBro?:
It's likely that an activist and/or consumer group put the stickers on them, not HMV themselves. Either way, it's not a smear if it's true.
Welp he may as well accept it. He is the modern day version of Ike Turner. The public will never let him forget it. No matter how many times Rihanna says she loves him, hangs out with him, hugs him in public etc people are not going to let him forget it. There are some people that think beating up a woman is right up there with being a rapist, murderer, or pedophile.
@7:12.....i agree!
@7:well said...this guy need some help once a beater always a beater it appears C-Brown has anger issues and he need to resolve those issues from his past.
@7:39 Who else did he beat?
Yeah he did it but this some straight BULLSHIT esp since he is not the only artist to lay hands on a woman.
Oh Lawdy...This will be just another excuse of his as to why he acts crazy.
He is a woman beater!!! This is not slander!!! Niggers always defending criminals just because the criminal is famous!!!
It's not a "smear campaign" if it's true. That's like saying supporting giant corporations causes the destruction of small businesses.
Shit ! Even I am tired of this, if Rhi wants this nigga back she's gonna have to revive his career, cuz she been popping since the incident while he been declining...and she's still milking the story for interviews/publicity/cd sales
Besides he does not "beat women" they are implying that he do this on the regular, it happened ONCE to ONE woman , if these bitches want a target find some real men to chastise, go to the Middle East and put the stickers on the foreheads of fathers that stone to death their own daughters, see them beat your raggedy ass right there , cowards go after easy targets
little bitches, going after this poor kid is cruel
@ 7:27 at the same time she don't shut up about it !
@8:O9 C-Brown was on Larry King live a few years back and C-Brown said that he was raised around violence and he had anger issues. C-Brown said his mother was beat by her boy friend and that's when he became violent witnessing his mother's constant abuse.
I don't no who this guy beat other than Rhianna, but from the looks of her face and the fact that he has not resolved his anger issues this guy is bound to turn to violence again when things do not go his way. I say that he has not resolved his anger issues because of his violent behavior in clubs etc.
It's only slander if it's not true. So this is not slander
They can still be liable for defamation of character. He served his sentence and his victim has forgiven him. So many white men like Bing Crosby, Charlie Sheen, Neil Campbell *who knocked Tanya Tucker's teeth out of her mouth* google it, have done much worse to women. I guess Chris Brown is the new OJ, but guess what, he is a protected Illuminati member so you see even with the media hate, he still is a A plus star. I'm not he was right, but if you were driving and your girlfried was going through your phone and then started beating you in the head, I hope you would defend yourself.
If they are turning their backs on him in the UK, what is he gonna do now? He ain't selling no albums here in the US.
Slander equates a lie...no lies detected.
Even "defamation of character" may be a stretch because he still acts like a raging psychopath whenever he doesn't get his way. They should've printed on the label 'Do not buy this album! This man beat a woman' since none of us knowledgeable of who else's azz he whipped.
This is not slander, he did beat woman. At worst this is defacement of property, the store's property. If they want to take issue with this group they can, otherwise the won't.
Fortune has only sold 284,000 copies around the world to date as reported by Billboard and Fame has not reached platinum. I'd say he has fallen off big time. He still can't tour Europe and that is where the money is for artists.
He looks so dirty and nasty and he has now gotten the reputation of being a crack or meth head, he is definitely looking like he is abusing an illegal substance.
Chris should sue them. As Michael K at Dlisted said, since they want to start sticking stickers on Chris's cds, they should not forget Charlie Sheen and dvds of two and a half men and countless others.Chris can make way more money in Africa and elsewhere as he is huge there. Europe is a dry and bitter place.

I am out to buy Chris's cds.White entertainers get away with murder e.g Osbourne, Sheen, Neil Diamond etc.I never remember them apologising publicly or being crucified the way Chris has been. Slavery days are over when black people must be labeled forever with one act of indiscretion.
Are they also putting stickers on Mötley Crüe CDs??? Tommy Lee used to beat the shit out of Pamela Anderson. Country music star Rodney Atkins is also a accused of domestic violence. What Chris Brown did was wrong. But white celebrities are allowed to move on. Black stars are persecuted throughout their careers.
So because some white celebs beat up women that makes what Chris did less serious? Man if he beat the crap out of your daughter, your sister, your aunt, your mom, your bff, your niece then I bet you wouldn't be talking that oh he only did it one time shit. Not to mention the entire world is watching this negro so of course he isn't going to beat another girl now after he has been dragged all over the damn place by the media. You better believe if he wasn't under a microscope he would have beaten the snot out of Karruche by now with all the rants he has been going on. She would've been rocking a black eye & fat lip.
People keep bringing up white celebrities who beat their spouses, but Chris is NOT white. He's a black man with extreme anger issues. If he's a white man with extreme anger issues white america and very white europe (and subsequently all other colored folk) would have forgiven him and this issue would have been left in 2009. It's going to follow him forever because he is black and NOT white. White people preserve and cherish their white celebrities, except the few trashy ones. y'all need to stop bringing up charlie sheen and tommy lee cuz it's not gonna change anything (ie the fact that people hate chris brown for beating rihanna).
This has to be a small group. I doubt a store would stock a product and then forbid folks from buying it.
@3.53, Chris is NOT responsible for other people's domestic violence cases. If and when a man puts a hand on a female relation, it is THAT man I will face .I am not a sheep to be brainwashed by prejudiced white media and white hypocrisy.
@11:05 You talk like being a memeber of the illuminati is a good thing. That's a guarranteed ticket to hell right there.
Anyway, this technically isn't slander like everyone else has been saying..
I don't think you understand what slander means, Snitch......
I fina go out right now and buy this boi's cd. This child (19 at the time) made a mistake (hugh one), but still a mistake and should every right to live his life without being constantly reminded of it. If I got pregnant at 19 and decided to have an abolition, I damn sure wouldn't want ppl reminding about some shit I did when I was young now that I'm 40
And RiRi need to close the lid on this, cuz rehashing the SHIT is only reminding ppl of the ONE-TWO beatdown.
That negro is a grown ass MAN,he is not a child or a boy, there are plenty of soldiers getting killed on the battlefield younger than him and you guys are defending this juiced up dancer/singer because you think he is so cute and sexy, well he looks like he has AIDS and the rumors are he is bi-sexual the same as Rihanna and Karruche. Well you can just about predict what his shelf life is, he will be on Unsung in about 36 more months, he is already fading to black.
Chris should have took a break and got help. He should have just went home and stayed there, but instead he keeps on keepin on with no help. Rhianna also needs help also.
@3.20, have a hundred seats . Who cares if he is bisexual and if he is sick, there is treatment. The point is people should leave Chris alone and stop hounding him to death.One mistake and people who have no life of their own are acting like mental cases when there are pedophiles and murderers about.
JAYZ, SANDRA ROSE ARE INDIRECTLY BEHIND THIS SHIT!
@7:23 I second that. I"ve already downloaded some songs from itunes, n the album is A1.
that sucks what they are doing as far as trying to downplay his craft and talent that god gave to him..if you think he is a douche which i do! thats fine but you dont have to do that to his music...not cool!
Boo have several seats to the downtrodden bitches that are defending this piece of shit.
