Usher criticizes Chris Brown
R&B singer Usher is sounding off on the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation.
During the weekend, Brown and Rihanna reunited in Miami Beach at Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ beach house to work out their issues.
Paparazzi shot photos of Brown enjoying a jet skiing excursion on the beach.
In a video posted as part of Jermaine Dupri’s “Living The Life” series, Usher said “I’m a little disappointed in this photo. Come on Chris. Have a little bit of remorse man. The man’s on jet skis? Like, just relaxing in Miami.”
I agree with Usher’s comments. It was in poor taste of Chris Brown to be enjoying himself in tropical paradise after the photos surfaced of Rihanna’s abused face at the hands of Brown.
He should show more remorse. Most abusers don’t get to relax on jet skis in Miami Beach.
Also, P. Diddy should be ashamed of himself for letting Brown use his beach house for the weekend. Thousands of people are accused of abuse each year. Is Diddy going to let them all use his beach house too?
Or did he just let Brown use it because he’s a famous abuser?

P. Diddy’s new reality show
Hip hop mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs will churn out yet another reality show for MTV.
The show titled “Diddy’s Starmaker” will air later this year.
During the show, Diddy will try to find some new artists to sign to his Bad Boy record label. Diddy’s previous MTV reality show “Making The Band” launched the careers of Day 26 and Danity Kane.
Diddy’s longtime choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson will be a regular on his new show, despite their explosive disagreements in the past. Diddy fired Gibson on the air in 2007 during a heated exchange on “Making The Band.”
The two have since reconciled.
