Jilly from Philly is getting dragged through the streets of Twitter because she showed support for Chris Brown and his talent.
In her Tweet she said:
@chrisbrown is amazing. How does ANYBODY sing like THAT? Dance, look, Act and Rap… like THAT? Beyond gifted. It appears, exceptional people have to go through exceptional ????. There’s nothing to debate.
It did not take long for folks to react one fan making the point that she thinks the women he abused would disagree.
I think the women he’s abused would disagree

Jill however doubled down.
I doubt it. My Mother’s ex husband was a mean, violent human AND he could lay foundation better than anyone in my city. What he did with cement was awe inspiring. We got away. He got a raise and praise for his ability. God dealt with the rest.
But her fans were not having it:
Praising a man with an elaborate history of abuse spanning decade this early on a Sunday…just egregiously insane. It’s beyond sad that people find a need to hop over and ignore extremely terrible things to praise a bad man who happens to backflip and hold a note.

According to Hot 97 The Philadelphia singer and actress claims Brown’s alleged victims aren’t (or shouldn’t be, at least) concerned with his life at this present moment.
Scott seems to embrace the idea of “separating the artist from the art.”
“Now Miss Jill, I know you mfn lying,” one person commented. Another user slammed Scott for “praising a man with an elaborate history of abuse spanning a decade.” Someone else highlighted that the singer was “perpetuating the tradition of praising abusive men.”
One thing the older Black women gone do…. They gone defend abusers under the guise of how “talented” they are. It never fails… Lmao. https://t.co/0OzMht9IZU
