Lloyd Clarifies His Comment That He Told Chris Brown To Cry At BET Awards

After the BET Awards, Rap-Up.com asked a series of celebs how they felt about Chris Brown's performance (Click Here If You Missed That). Everything was all good until they get to Lloyd and he claims he told Chris to get up on stage and cry, Not A Good Look That was all the Anti Chris Brown/Rihanna Stans needed to hear to criticize him even more for his performance.

Lloyd took to his blog, YoungGoldie.com to clarify his statement.

“I consider Chris a friend. He's been through a lot in the past couple years. I never told him to go on stage and cry. We spoke recently, and I told him as a friend that people hadn't really seen him be vulnerable about his situation last year [with Rihanna]. I thought he was holding back and needed to let that emotion out. Him crying at the BET Awards was real, I could feel it.”

“I think he cried about a number of things. About the fact that he thought people would hate him forever because of one mistake. Feeling that love on stage was probably overwhelming. Plus MJ being gone and him performing "Man in the Mirror", that song is powerful, especially for his situation. It pushed him over the edge.”

“To say that he was faking or that I'm hating on him, that's some bull sh*t. Last week Essence.com asked me what artist most embodied MJ. I told them it was Chris. I never saw MJ perform live, but he [Chris Brown] is the closest thing I've witnessed. Chris is back, and I'm just as excited as his fans are. It's just frustrating that people want to make everything negative.”
