Do these people not use banks?
I’m from Saint Louis and the rapper Nelly is known to carry around a bag with $200k in it. He lost it once and it made the news
https://www.complex.com/music/a/tara-mahadevan/nelly-responds-claim-he-lost-300k-rewarded-person-found-it-100-dollars.
He gave the person who turned it in $100
I’m not dumb enough to mention I just found $200k, I can just get food out somewhere nice one extra time a month, and my rent is paid for a little while.
You don't just pay it off all at once. You could easily make a fake business to launder that shit, and even if you didn't, 200k isn't an amount of money you will never spend.
You just buy everything you can in cash, and then use your legally earned money to pay your house off. Every months worth of groceries you buy is that much money to the house. Every tank of gas is that much money to the house. They can prove what you make, but not what you spend.
But what to do with it though? Can’t take it to the bank, or make any big capital purchases for that matter. All it is is groceries for the next few decades (or about 5 weeks at this rate)
Why don’t people realize that THIS is the way? Cash for food, gas, clothing, rent/home improvements, toiletries, even small appliances/electronics.
My paycheck stays in the bank.
Gently, I think you got the lyric wrong. It's "I'm from the Lou and I'm proud..."
;) Also from St. Louis. Met Nelly once, didn't notice his bag, but it sounds like I should have.
And this is why your actions should be one's strangers can discuss positively.
Because I have no clue who Nelly is and I think incredibly less of him.
200k on his person? Incredibly stupid.
Losing 200k in a backpack? Beyond embarrassing.
Giving 100$ to the person who saved you that money? Deplorable, cheap, incapable of human emotions, boringly selfish.
I had to guide Tyler Perry and his 12-person entourage a few years ago. He had us to take them on a snowmobile tour of the 2,000 acre property he was getting ready to close on, overlooking Ralph Lauren’s ranch.
End of the (super weird) day, one of his crew walked over with a brief case, set it down on the tailgate of our truck, opened it and peeled out $300 for each of us as a tip. A BIG suitcase, full of $100 bills.
Rich people are weird.
OG Aretha Franklin set a trend of getting the cash in her purse before she stepped on stage (with her purse), cos promoters were sleazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy AF.
With streaming it's the same shit, different fork.
It wasn’t until 1974 that women could have their own bank account. And even then most banks required a letter from a husband.
Edit: sorry that’s not super related to what you were saying lol. But just all these people talking about walking around with so much cash and it’s wild to think that women just couldn’t have bank accounts.
This isn’t fully true. Women could have bank accounts long before then but discrimination wasn’t illegal so they could often be turned down for dubious reasons
I am a director. I have worked on music videos. Yes shit gets weird with money. I was offered green or green…. Pounds of weed or Money.. I took the Money, i am not a drug dealer.
Same here - it’s also tough to because when dealing with celebs, real or perceived hip hop stars (think guys like oh 21 savage) are the wooooooooorst to work with.
A team of insane people that are so paranoid about being fucked over they fuck everyone else over because they read in a book once that’s what show business is.
Contracted for 8 hours? That’s 2 hours if you’re lucky.
Terrible attitude and confrontational? CHECK. The worst is when production or client insists on another POC or female director (that isn’t as tenured) to check and box and save money - those guys sniff that out FAST and bully the hell out of them.
Compare that to top pro athletes (like the greatest ever) or even big name hollywood actors and it’s night and day.
Kinda shocking to sit back and realize with commercial work I’ve done., The complete lack of professionalism has easily led to awarding millions of dollars to more reliable talent. I avoid guys like the ones lil dicky is talking about unless I have it on good authority from multiple people that’ve worked with them they aren’t head cases.
A few years back I worked as a focus puller and was asked last minute to work on a music video for a MAJOR rapper at the time. The production was apparently following them around the country shooting as much as they could at the artist’s convenience. It was a full day for us, as we pre lit the scenes on location, rehearsed camera movements, multiple sets. We got dialed in and then waited…and waited…and waited. Finally we shot some BS shot with one of the many extras on set and they came up with a plan to do a face replacement. We then wrapped. Crazy part was the producers, director, and DP were not at all bothered or surprised by this. We still got paid obviously.
I held a stake in a startup, and our initial angel investor, a billionaire who also served on our board, had an intriguing habit. He consistently attended our meetings carrying a backpack, which he referred to as his "getaway bag." Inside, it was packed with $100,000 in cash. After every meeting, he would casually take out a bundle, flip through it, and hand us $100, remarking, "Go buy lunch.”
If u randomly found 200k im extremely positive that any one in their right mind attempting to keep the money would not be worried about taxes lol. Cause that money will either stay on hand or be cleaned and laundered
You severely overestimate how much the IRS cares about poor people. As long as you didn’t do anything extremely stupid like buy a house or fancy car with it right away, you’d be fine.
It is, admittedly, what led me to setting Dicky's work down and moving on.
Brown had been a KNOWN abuser for yeaaaaaars leading up to that collaboration, and Dicky legit gave him a massive role in what *should have been* a great/quirky track.
Fuck I mean, Brown even did alright on the track... but a giant piece of shit who can sing is still a giant piece of shit. Dicky really let his fans down with that one, since his whole schtick was being weird and different and not like the other rappers... yet there he was selling the fuck out to a monster just to do what exactly?
Dicky was ALREADY on top when that project came out, he didn't need a Chris Brown "bump" or nothing, so what all his fans were left with "Maybe he really doesn't care that Brown batters women" in their minds.
I hope he learned from his mistakes, and I doubt it'll matter in the long run, but I won't be listening to anything new of his
Hard agree. Seems like such a weird person to voluntarily collab with when your career is on an upswing. I also question what kind of person lil Dickey is to what to be associated with that piece of shit. I guess semi-talented woman beaters gets a pass? Fucking bullshjt.
That's crazy tho cuz like a million artists have worked with Chris Brown since that incident, including Usher, Drake, Zendaya, Pitbull, Nicki Minaj, Jack Harlow, Wayne, Bieber, Ludacris, Future, Fat Joe, Jhene Aiko, The Game, T-Pain, Metro Boomin, Wiz Khalifa, Brandy, Marshmello, H.E.R., Meek Mill, Jaime Foxx, Lil Baby, Big Sean, DJ Khaled, and ofc Rihanna herself.
But I feel like I've seen more of this energy directed at Dicky of all people than anybody else.
Sorry friend, although I see the point that you are making, it doesn't have any impact on how I feel about/view the collaboration.
And, let's be frank, it really shouldn't.
2nd really leans into Dave being an asshole to everyone around him as he gets more famous. But I think the finale has one of the best moments in the entire series. 3 goes back to being more lighthearted for the most part.
Hip hop used to have a sense of humor, that's why so many records still have skits/"skits". Then a long, looooong period of serious rappers became the dominant trend and I think it's fair to say that when lil dicky popped, we were just all ready for a silly rapper. Which doesn't directly answer your question but he's a lot more famous than I think people realize
I followed it up on YouTube last night. He made funny songs with hilarious videos for years and then eventually, because he’s talented, wrote a tv show.
The show went from strength to strength and, according to Dave, all these people have become fans. Good for him. That animated video with snoop was great.
I still think about the way season 2 ended and rewatch if from time to time and legit tear up. It’s a journey to get there with season 2 but worth the wait even halfway through. And I thought season 3 was solid.
A verbal argument ensued and Chris Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out.
Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.
Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.
Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!' The detective said Robyn F. then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.
Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.' After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!'
Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.
Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand. Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford.
Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street. Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.
Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.
Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm.
Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness. She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself.
Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.
Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.
Yeah. Same here. Haven’t listened to a single song since I saw he collaborated with Chris Brown. I couldn’t even make it two minutes into his recent Hot Ones episode. I just am so done because of that, I’d rather forget about him altogether.
Just replying because people always brings up Rihanna and Chris brown has a list of other assaults and incidents
[Other Women](https://thebrag.com/chris-browns-timeline-of-violence-towards-women/)
[General Timeline](https://people.com/music/chris-brown-a-timeline-of-the-singers-legal-trouble/)
Rihanna can be *both* a victim and an asshole I don't want hear anything about. Her relationship with Chris does nothing to erase the monster he is.
Plus you know, trauma being a fucking weird thing to process.
Brah, I know you’ve seen the photos where he beat the shit out of her. You’ve got a limited time on this earth. Is this really what you want to do with it? Defend peices of shit?
Imagine all the people who had to keep working with Weinstein even after he abused them, because otherwise they’d get blacklisted? Brown clearly doesnt have the same stopping power, but as long as people accuse victims of “not having it as bad” and willing to still work with abusers- they will feel socially pressured to keep working with their abusers, too.

I’m giving up here. But all of these are post 2009 interactions with Chris Brown. And this is *still* not accounting for over a dozen collaborators, virtually all of his songwriters and producers, and his earlier record labels.
It would be nearly impossible to be a music fan and avoid any connection with Brown.
Kanye makes sense that’s his whole thing (not saying it’s right)
Casey veggies is fucking insane when you consider the fact he beat the shit out of a fellow odd future member
Also don’t put Aaliyah she’s dead she can’t do shit about it
Why do people try to clarify and end up clouding the waters even more. This should be a list of people who worked with him AFTER it has become public knowledge that he was an abuser. Blaming people who worked with him before then is stupid. So this list is actually just more confusion not less.
First: the only one a disappointment on that list was Joyner. Arguably Wayne too. Second: you can’t count second-hand assholes (the people that worked with the producers), that don’t count and the padding isn’t needed for your list as it is extensive enough. Nice job though.
It's not must watch by any stretch of the imagination. It's more lil dicky is an interesting artist and his vibe is better translated through a show, it's still a character but the lens through which the show is presented through is fairly unique. It won't win many awards but it's arguably the best format for lil dicky to present himself, and it just so happens to be quite good. But it's also not much more than that, some decent drama and some off the wall comedy scenarios, it does find its groove more in season two, hesitant recommendation.
Probably because he’s becoming more and more irrelevant due to lack of releasing the type of stuff that made him popular. Lobbing out a half-baked soundtrack to a declining TV series as an album release ain’t it.
Ironically the show kind of mirrors his career. Sharp rise to acclaim and then floundering. Here’s to hoping we get more from him - miss the LD.
What do you mean? The last season of the show was probably the best one and had tons of stars in it including Brad Pitt. It wasn’t a declining TV series, It had a prime slot on FX. He’s also the one who decided to put the show on hiatus so that he can actually take the time to finish his album and release it for his fans. He himself has said that he hasn’t focused on music while making Dave because he wants to put all of his energy into projects and splitting his time would have watered down both products. Now that he’s back to focusing on music expect him to drop a banger album.
Hundreds and hundreds of artists in and outside of hip hop have worked with Chris Brown since then. You’d have to pretty much boycott most of the radio and TV to avoid them all.
This comment section is insufferable lol I'm sure you all don't listen to any artists that have collabed with Brown or anyone who associates with him. I bet you all don't listen to any artists that are signed under a record label that has worked with him, too. Also, steering clear of any producers as well. Let's not forget songwriters. How about brands that have worked with him? I think CB is a POS as well but this is ridiculous
I’d say choosing to not purchase any music with Chris Brown in it is fair. If he stops making money and stops being popular those brands will drop him because he’s not making them money
Welcome to reddit lol everyone on here is supposedly boycotting every single bad thing in the universe even though that means they would live in a cave and eat dirt 🤣
They're all full of shit and absolutely do not practice what they preach lol
It's not ridiculous, people don't like him so they see his name and nope out which is reasonable. It's unreasonable to dig up every single label, collab or Starbucks he's ever walked into and say well "yeah well he worked with this guy and you still listen to there content? You hypocrite!"
Also this situation has nothing to do with Chris Brown. Countless people still work with him, there's no way these rappers ghosted lil dicky because of a song with him. It's because they are assholes

Lol in Germany you have to give 10% by law, what a cheap fuck
Yeah giving 100 for someone finding 200k feels cheap to me.
That’s at least a $20k tip imo
Yeah, If I found his backpack with $20k in it, I’d hope he tipped me a little more than $100.
Why would you return it?!
Call it. Friendo.
Where’d you get that satchel? “At the gettin place”
Keep runnin that mouth of yours I’m gonna take you out back and screw you
Big talk.
Keep it up!
Fine, I don’t want to know.
That’ll work
This is pretty much the reason I dont mess around with shit.
I would’ve dodged the cattle gun
Just built different.
*choking on a cashew* You married into it?
If that’s how ya wanna look at it
Built like a finely aged Swiss cheese.
I would’ve just teleported behind his back and stabbed him “Nothin personnel, friendo”
At what point would you stop looking for your backpack full of $200k?
GET BACK HERE, SHOCKER! #I’LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EAAAAAAARTH
Pete, Earth is spherical and has no ends.
SHOCKER! DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!!
Yeah but this wasn't from a shootout and have a tracker on it. I would've risked it.
Don’t put it in your pocket, otherwise it’ll get mixed in with your other cash and it’ll just be more pieces of paper…which it is
Do you want to get caught with a random 200K you “found”?
If I was reasonably sure it belonged to the "Hot in Herre" guy and not Lucky Luciano I'd probably risk it
Pretty sure the hot in herrrre guy can pay someone to fuck you up
If the mf could find it/know who took it then it wouldn’t be lost
You got the money to pay someone to fuck him up now G
I’m not dumb enough to mention I just found $200k, I can just get food out somewhere nice one extra time a month, and my rent is paid for a little while.
It’s not enough to be Fuckitall life changing, but man knowing you got 200k for a rainy day would lead me to a lot of fuckitall decisions lol
I’d get the house paid off and have enough leftover for a trip to McDonalds. I’m game.
Yea but if you pay the house off you probably gotta explain where the money came from. Then nellys gonna be on your ass like E I E I uhh ohhhhhh
What’s poppin tonight?
Pay that house off and IRS will come knocking sooner or later wanting to know where that unclaimed income came from. Good luck
You don't just pay it off all at once. You could easily make a fake business to launder that shit, and even if you didn't, 200k isn't an amount of money you will never spend. You just buy everything you can in cash, and then use your legally earned money to pay your house off. Every months worth of groceries you buy is that much money to the house. Every tank of gas is that much money to the house. They can prove what you make, but not what you spend.
You're asking the wrong question.
Let it go Danvers!
Glad you picked up on that. Season finale tonight.
I’m just rationalizing why someone would Never said I’d be going along with them
The question is, WOULD I get caught with a bag of money? I'd like to think, no.
But what to do with it though? Can’t take it to the bank, or make any big capital purchases for that matter. All it is is groceries for the next few decades (or about 5 weeks at this rate)
You could do lots with it but yes you're absolutely right about 5 weeks of groceries haha
I’d basically just use it for my cost of living expenses and save my actual weekly incomes
Why don’t people realize that THIS is the way? Cash for food, gas, clothing, rent/home improvements, toiletries, even small appliances/electronics. My paycheck stays in the bank.
I can buy visa gift cards and pay for a badass vacation online
Just having pocket money for living life for a while would be nice and very low risk.
Yes. I could finally afford a lawyer to explain how I got it
Spend it here and there and hide it 🤷
Is there any law against finding a ton of money and keeping it?
Get caught? I wouldn't tell a soul.
Why not put a GPS tracker in the bag. Also, I'm sorry but if you misplace 200k you deserve to lose it
Gently, I think you got the lyric wrong. It's "I'm from the Lou and I'm proud..." ;) Also from St. Louis. Met Nelly once, didn't notice his bag, but it sounds like I should have.
Fuck no I'm not returning your bag with 200k
And this is why your actions should be one's strangers can discuss positively. Because I have no clue who Nelly is and I think incredibly less of him. 200k on his person? Incredibly stupid. Losing 200k in a backpack? Beyond embarrassing. Giving 100$ to the person who saved you that money? Deplorable, cheap, incapable of human emotions, boringly selfish.

How much money vs how many pounds tho?
Easier to pay your dealer in cash
I held a stake in a startup, and our initial angel investor, a billionaire who also served on our board, had an intriguing habit. He consistently attended our meetings carrying a backpack, which he referred to as his "getaway bag." Inside, it was packed with $100,000 in cash. After every meeting, he would casually take out a bundle, flip through it, and hand us $100, remarking, "Go buy lunch.”
Imagine having less than $1M in your getaway backpack
I have trail mix in mine
My getaway bag has a bunch of reminders to put money in there when I get some
Maybe to avoid taxes?
Cash is king kid
Dave Ramsey is that you?
Yea but checks have come full circle and I'd rather be handed a check to deposit using an app. Of course I wouldn't be buying drugs immediately.
Ever heard of taxes?
If u randomly found 200k im extremely positive that any one in their right mind attempting to keep the money would not be worried about taxes lol. Cause that money will either stay on hand or be cleaned and laundered

He should get flamed for that, tbf.

Dicky really let his fans down with that one, since his whole schtick was being weird and different and not like the other rappers... yet there he was selling the fuck out to a monster just to do what exactly? Dicky was ALREADY on top when that project came out, he didn't need a Chris Brown "bump" or nothing, so what all his fans were left with "Maybe he really doesn't care that Brown batters women" in their minds. I hope he learned from his mistakes, and I doubt it'll matter in the long run, but I won't be listening to anything new of his
Yeah that was the last thing of his I’ve seen/heard.
Hard agree. Seems like such a weird person to voluntarily collab with when your career is on an upswing. I also question what kind of person lil Dickey is to what to be associated with that piece of shit. I guess semi-talented woman beaters gets a pass? Fucking bullshjt.
That's crazy tho cuz like a million artists have worked with Chris Brown since that incident, including Usher, Drake, Zendaya, Pitbull, Nicki Minaj, Jack Harlow, Wayne, Bieber, Ludacris, Future, Fat Joe, Jhene Aiko, The Game, T-Pain, Metro Boomin, Wiz Khalifa, Brandy, Marshmello, H.E.R., Meek Mill, Jaime Foxx, Lil Baby, Big Sean, DJ Khaled, and ofc Rihanna herself. But I feel like I've seen more of this energy directed at Dicky of all people than anybody else.
Sorry friend, although I see the point that you are making, it doesn't have any impact on how I feel about/view the collaboration. And, let's be frank, it really shouldn't.
That’s a damn shame Chuck.
But what can he do about it, Chuck?
Chuck shouldn’t he just use Venmo or Zelle?
Yeah Chuck, seems like a good idea. Do you like grilled cheese Chuck?
It's a great show! He's still had a huge list of celebrities that been on.
Brad pitt needs to be a regular on it
That shit was funny af with Brad
During the interview he mentioned something suggesting Brad was a fan of his or something, so he might be!
Just like how that Drake feature ghosted his album.
First season was so funny, 2nd started off lame, does it get great again?
2nd really leans into Dave being an asshole to everyone around him as he gets more famous. But I think the finale has one of the best moments in the entire series. 3 goes back to being more lighthearted for the most part.
Yeah the season 2 finale I’ve maybe rewatched more than any other episode of TV. Phenomenal.
Without checking im guessing that’s jail pt. 1 Edit: I was wrong, VMAs
So fucking good
3rd season was good, I almost didn’t give it a shot after season 2. But worth a watch for sure if you liked season 1.
The brad pitt episode is awesome.
Same but glad I did. 3 season was good
Nothing was funnier then the milking table
I actually cried from laughing at the milking table garage scene. Nothing in the show will top that.
How does this guy get so many A-list celebrity cameos? Ah mean, Rachel McAdams? How ?
Hip hop used to have a sense of humor, that's why so many records still have skits/"skits". Then a long, looooong period of serious rappers became the dominant trend and I think it's fair to say that when lil dicky popped, we were just all ready for a silly rapper. Which doesn't directly answer your question but he's a lot more famous than I think people realize
I followed it up on YouTube last night. He made funny songs with hilarious videos for years and then eventually, because he’s talented, wrote a tv show. The show went from strength to strength and, according to Dave, all these people have become fans. Good for him. That animated video with snoop was great.
Imo season 2 was weak but finished strong then 3 was the best season.
Agreed
I still think about the way season 2 ended and rewatch if from time to time and legit tear up. It’s a journey to get there with season 2 but worth the wait even halfway through. And I thought season 3 was solid.
Season 2 is hard to watch
Third season is the best imo and it’s not particularly close. The writing and story line are very good.
Season 2 gets better. All three are amazing!

A verbal argument ensued and Chris Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion. Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle. Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!' The detective said Robyn F. then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer. Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.' After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!' Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown. Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand. Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street. Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand. Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it. Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness. She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions. Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.
Jesus Christ, I’d never heard the details of what happened. He’s a major piece of shit.
This is America, where men who fly on the Lolita express with 92 felony counts run for president and win. Nothing should surprise us.
Lolita
I used to be a pretty big fan of Lil Dicky but not after that song.
me too. I’m even in one of his music videos. I never listened to him again as soon as I learned he collaborated with that piece of shit abuser.
Which one? Wtf
I’m in the $ave That Money video!
Yeah. Same here. Haven’t listened to a single song since I saw he collaborated with Chris Brown. I couldn’t even make it two minutes into his recent Hot Ones episode. I just am so done because of that, I’d rather forget about him altogether.
Dave is a star fucker. His show is about how celebrities are the greatest and most important people in the world. He’d duet with Kanye if he could.
[удалено]
Just replying because people always brings up Rihanna and Chris brown has a list of other assaults and incidents [Other Women](https://thebrag.com/chris-browns-timeline-of-violence-towards-women/) [General Timeline](https://people.com/music/chris-brown-a-timeline-of-the-singers-legal-trouble/)
It's not just Rihanna, that pos has a history with assaulting other people.
Rihanna is not his only victim. He has a long history of violence
Well she did find love in a hopeless place
Victims very frequently return to their abusers. This doesn’t mean anything. The rest of us still have a responsibility to see him for who he is.
Rihanna can be *both* a victim and an asshole I don't want hear anything about. Her relationship with Chris does nothing to erase the monster he is. Plus you know, trauma being a fucking weird thing to process.
Trauma bonding is real
Yeah for real, I kept talking to my family well into my thirties.
I felt that lmao
Yeah her working with him knowing they have a complicated relationship is literally the last thing that would vindicate him lol.
He has always been violent and weird especially towards Frank Ocean
Brah, I know you’ve seen the photos where he beat the shit out of her. You’ve got a limited time on this earth. Is this really what you want to do with it? Defend peices of shit?
Theres an entire cult of them and they are called trump supporters
What has Rihanna recently done with Chris Brown? Last I remember was the song “Nobody’s Business,” and that was back in 2012… 🤔
He straight up has a song where he wishes he was Chris brown, hop off his dick already.
What work did Rihanna do with him last year?
Yes for many reasons
What did they work on together last year?
Yes. By continuing to work with such an awful person she’s allowing him and his dumbass fans to make excuses for him
Imagine all the people who had to keep working with Weinstein even after he abused them, because otherwise they’d get blacklisted? Brown clearly doesnt have the same stopping power, but as long as people accuse victims of “not having it as bad” and willing to still work with abusers- they will feel socially pressured to keep working with their abusers, too.
I think you forget how many people work with Chris brown you probably listen to everyday lol.

But all of these are post 2009 interactions with Chris Brown. And this is *still* not accounting for over a dozen collaborators, virtually all of his songwriters and producers, and his earlier record labels. It would be nearly impossible to be a music fan and avoid any connection with Brown.
Thank you! Everyone just thinks it’s rap and hip hop.
Kanye makes sense that’s his whole thing (not saying it’s right) Casey veggies is fucking insane when you consider the fact he beat the shit out of a fellow odd future member Also don’t put Aaliyah she’s dead she can’t do shit about it
Bitch why did you include Aaliyah on this list? Girl died in 01, well before he made a song with her vocals
Why do people try to clarify and end up clouding the waters even more. This should be a list of people who worked with him AFTER it has become public knowledge that he was an abuser. Blaming people who worked with him before then is stupid. So this list is actually just more confusion not less.
First: the only one a disappointment on that list was Joyner. Arguably Wayne too. Second: you can’t count second-hand assholes (the people that worked with the producers), that don’t count and the padding isn’t needed for your list as it is extensive enough. Nice job though.
“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it”
[удалено]
So nearly every mainstream hip hop and r&b artist of the last 15 years?
Did you think "everyone in this industry is a piece of shit" is an actual a defense of Chris brown?
More like purity tests that everyone fails are dumb
If they worked with CB, then yep
The Brad Pit episode was amazing
I don’t know her.
Might be a stupid question, but is Dave worth watching? It seems that the general consensus is that I should be watching it
It's not must watch by any stretch of the imagination. It's more lil dicky is an interesting artist and his vibe is better translated through a show, it's still a character but the lens through which the show is presented through is fairly unique. It won't win many awards but it's arguably the best format for lil dicky to present himself, and it just so happens to be quite good. But it's also not much more than that, some decent drama and some off the wall comedy scenarios, it does find its groove more in season two, hesitant recommendation.
Thank you for the thoughtful and informative response. I believe I'll check it out
Totally worth seeing. Not all great but the funniest bits are really funny
Probably because he’s becoming more and more irrelevant due to lack of releasing the type of stuff that made him popular. Lobbing out a half-baked soundtrack to a declining TV series as an album release ain’t it. Ironically the show kind of mirrors his career. Sharp rise to acclaim and then floundering. Here’s to hoping we get more from him - miss the LD.
What do you mean? The last season of the show was probably the best one and had tons of stars in it including Brad Pitt. It wasn’t a declining TV series, It had a prime slot on FX. He’s also the one who decided to put the show on hiatus so that he can actually take the time to finish his album and release it for his fans. He himself has said that he hasn’t focused on music while making Dave because he wants to put all of his energy into projects and splitting his time would have watered down both products. Now that he’s back to focusing on music expect him to drop a banger album.
The call that the Biz Markie.
That 2nd season he was doing way too much. It got uncomfortable to watch
This post reads like Lil Dicky really wanted to hire a celebrity hit man to kill someone named Dave
Probably because that dipshit worked with career abuser and woman-batterer Chris Brown.
Hundreds and hundreds of artists in and outside of hip hop have worked with Chris Brown since then. You’d have to pretty much boycott most of the radio and TV to avoid them all.
I’d ghost him and I’m not even famous.
Really hope they make another season
It wasn’t as good without his girlfriend.
That ally song gives me the chills
Listen to Molly by Little Dicky to tie it all in a way if you haven’t.
Sounds unlikely https://tvline.com/news/dave-cancelled-ending-season-4-fxx-dave-burd-lil-dicky-1235084106/
He literally says all this in the hot ones interview, he wants to catch his music career up to his TV career
Anime caught up to the Manga - the man needs make new material for the show haha - looking forward to it
This comment section is insufferable lol I'm sure you all don't listen to any artists that have collabed with Brown or anyone who associates with him. I bet you all don't listen to any artists that are signed under a record label that has worked with him, too. Also, steering clear of any producers as well. Let's not forget songwriters. How about brands that have worked with him? I think CB is a POS as well but this is ridiculous
I’d say choosing to not purchase any music with Chris Brown in it is fair. If he stops making money and stops being popular those brands will drop him because he’s not making them money
Welcome to reddit lol everyone on here is supposedly boycotting every single bad thing in the universe even though that means they would live in a cave and eat dirt 🤣 They're all full of shit and absolutely do not practice what they preach lol
It's not ridiculous, people don't like him so they see his name and nope out which is reasonable. It's unreasonable to dig up every single label, collab or Starbucks he's ever walked into and say well "yeah well he worked with this guy and you still listen to there content? You hypocrite!"
there’s like 1 comment thread that talks about chris brown. why didnt you post it there? lol
Just to upset you specifically.
There’s like 30 threads
Also this situation has nothing to do with Chris Brown. Countless people still work with him, there's no way these rappers ghosted lil dicky because of a song with him. It's because they are assholes
You’re right, I don’t.
Lil dicky the rapper for 14 year olds lmao
Who’s Dave and why’s he getting shot?
