Chris Brown is angry at his online doppelgänger for pretending to be him

Chris Brown is angry at his online doppelgänger for pretending to be him

Chris Brown loves to post himself on Instagram, and as we saw with a recent post of his mom featuring him and his dad, he loves being on other people’s pages too. What he definitely doesn’t tolerate, though, is when people try to be like him online, whether they’re outwardly pretending or just pretending to look like him. Additionally, Breezy recently took to the Instagram comments section of a viral doppelgänger of his to criticize him for copying his style and ask him to go his own way. It seems a bit ridiculous to do this, but we’re sure we wouldn’t bat an eyelid if it wasn’t a doppelgänger but, say, an artist clearly influenced by him.

“Impersonating me is f***ing lame…” Chris Brown wrote in the comments of this lookalike on a recent Instagram post. “You look like you’re missing a chromosome. BE MY N***A… YOU COULD NEVER BE ME! SO STOP IT BEFORE I KICK THE SHIT OUT OF YOU.” It’s also not the only controversial “fan” interaction that has surfaced recently. He also recently shared an alleged video of an alleged stalker making death threats, which is pretty disturbing.

Luckily, Chris Brown’s interactions with real fans tend to be much more positive, such as his viral meet-and-greets for his recent tour. The latest of these involved one lucky lady who had a very romantic plan, or at least a fun and cheeky idea for a photo. He knelt down on one knee and held out his hand, and her awestruck face shows that he proposed to her… for the photo. We don’t know when the ceremony is, but we hope the $1,111 was worth it.

All jokes aside, this trip was a very successful one for Chris Brown, even if a few mishaps on stage spoiled the fun now and then. We’re sure there were many lookalikes and impersonators at these events and that he witnessed many of them himself. Hopefully their paths never cross because we now know that things are a little more combative than one might think. As cheesy as it may sound, sometimes the best advice for most scenarios is to just be yourself.
