EXCLUSIVE: It's Overrated

 

It has been years since the first media coverage of a devastating break up which left bruises and scars for all to see. With the elapsing time period you’d think the world would have forgotten…

 

All the hype over Chris Brown and Rihanna is overrated! It doesn’t matter what that boy does if it’s in the news it always seems to be linked to his apparent ‘beatdown’ of Rihanna. What I don’t understand is that if these two grown-ups can resolve their issues and be in each other’s company then why does the rest of the world feel the need to get involved?

 

It’s true he hit her and no there really isn’t anything that validates a beating of that degree but they were both young so whatever did happen I’m sure is either in the past or the back of their heads. Couples hit each other all the time and I’m not agreeing with it, I’m just stating that ordinary people do this and we rarely hate on them so all the longed out hype over Chris Brown is only because he’s famous.

 

There’s another part to this story and that is we’ve seen the growth of someone who has done something bad in his past. His career has progressed even though he hasn’t been able to perform in England. There’s a sort of bitterness about him improving his musical career; how dare someone like that get the opportunity to get further in life. Then again, life is full of opportunities and chances and everyone deserves to build themselves up and away from their past.

 

So let’s all calm down, the man is back, deal with it and respect his talent. I mean if Rihanna can forgive (or at least hide it) so can we all.
