It seems the wife beater monniker will follow him around for a long time to come.

Rapper Chris Brown's decision to attend this Sunday's Grammy Awards has drawn criticism from a fellow artist.

In a tweet sent to his followers on Thursday, singer Richard Marx expressed confusion that CBS would ban skimpy clothing while at the same time allow men who 'beat women' to attend.

The Right Here Waiting singer referenced the rapper in a thinly veiled tweet, stating:

'Risque’ clothing banned at Grammys but guys who beat up women? Come ooonnn downnnnn…..#goodcallgrammys.'

In a followup tweet, the soft rock crooner clarified: “Technically that tweet was about ANY d**kbag who hits women.”

Richard was referring to CBS's announcement on Wednesday that attendees of Sunday's 55th annual Grammy Awards cover up for the event.
The network, which is airing the awards show, said in a statement: 'Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered...Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack.'

CBS went on, 'Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible “puffy” bare skin exposure.'

Chris, who won a Grammy for best R&B album for F.A.M.E in 2012, hasn't responded to the rocker's tweet.

The hitmaker attended a probation hearing in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where he faced allegations that he failed to complete his community labor sentence for assaulting girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.

A judge asked for more information and scheduled another hearing in two months.
Rihanna, the glamorous singer whose bruised face became a tabloid fixture after she was beaten by her then-boyfriend on the way to the Grammys, has rekindled her relationship with the rapper.

As much as I may shade Chris, he deserves one night of freedom

The drag.

He should NOT be allowed to go. I feel bad for any woman who has to sit in his general vicinity.

You should be able to feel comfortable and protected at the Grammys. Not worried that you might leave with a call to postpone your covergirl shoot.

not him tweeting again like it wasnt clear who he speaking about...dont cover it up, if youre gonna say it, dont try to cover it up

MaRy

they gave him so many grammys as well since 2009 to his flop albums, I mean I wonder who paid for them?

Stephen

I agree with him

Ok but CBS can be fined for something being misconstrued as inappropriate or too revealing on tv. Chris brown attending doesn't bother anyone except the pressed.

FAME.

How many times have we been through this?

And then he went on to WIN a Grammy and is still getting nominated there and everywhere else. Like Y'all need to GIVE IT UP already

And Christopher is not a rapper

oh but he didn't lie

Where are the lies?

I would find it very hard to move on with everybody always bringing it up, besides why do people say this as if he beats up a new woman every week, it happened 4 years ago, once. Even the abusee has "moved on".

Can society please forgive this young, troubled black man's past transgression. Clearly he has problems and flaws and personal demons, but don't we all?

I don't agree at all. What he did was vile, but that doesn't warrant a ban. Maybe from him presenting an award or speaking, but there shouldnt be an "on the paper" action. What kind of third-class mindset.
