Chris Brown fan refutes viral rumor that he offered disabled meet & greet attendee ,000 and a refund

A Chris Brown fan has clarified that the singer never offered them $10,000 or a refund for their meet and greet ticket. A viral post on X (formerly Twitter) shared a picture of the fan with Brown and added the caption: “This woman paid $1,111 for a ‘meet and greet’ with Chris Brown. When he saw her, he refunded her money and gave her an additional $10,000, along with these beautiful pictures.”

The fan subsequently took to social media to debunk the story. “What I’m not OK with is strangers on the internet using my face and exploiting my disability for likes and clicks while spreading misinformation,” she said. “We’re not going to do that. Just like everyone else, I support Chris as a brand and as an individual, so if you see me at a show or a meet and greet, please know that I paid for my ticket. I paid to get there.” Having been to numerous concerts before, she added that she and Brown have “developed a great relationship.” In return, Brown has offered free tickets and seat upgrades to certain events, but that doesn’t happen often.

She went on to say that the story perpetuates the narrative “that people with disabilities don’t have jobs and don’t fit well into society.” She explained, “This backbiting takes away everything I’ve personally done to get there. It takes away the hours I work. It takes away the things I sacrificed to work overtime because I wanted to treat myself.” Read her full comments on the situation below.
