Home : We're Just Sayin', Chris Brown : Chris Brown Fills in for Rihanna's 'Good Friend'

Chris Brown Fills in for Rihanna's 'Good Friend'

Posted Aug 3rd 2009 9:45AM by TMZ Staff

First Drake reportedly took over for Chris Brown -- and now Chris Brown is filling in for Drake.

Here's the explanation: After Drake went down with a knee injury a few days ago, Lil' Wayne needed somebody to do Drake's part at a concert in Virginia Beach this weekend -- and we're told Wayne asked Chris Brown.

The twist: Drake was widely rumored to be Rihanna's first rebound guy ... even though he claimed they were just "good friends."

It was Brown's first live performance since copping a plea in his assault case -- but sources close to the situation say Brown won't be Drake's full time-replacement on the tour ... it was only a one time thing.

5. Sheme on both you, # 1 & # 2. Can you see that only two of you have something stupid to say? No one really care anymore about what went down with Chris and his ex, Ri. Christ Brown did something wrong and he his been punished well. Unless you F----ers and good for nothing A------es want him harm. Please do us a favor by saying possitive things about this kid, or shut the F up!!!

10. I care what a chick beater is doing, the reson for brining up RiRi when is cuz she got beat up by the douche bag! These two will ALWAYS be linked up with one another. Chris is a douche and RiRi I do feel instigated it only cuz she got back with him for a brief moment in Florida - But Chris made the wrong choice and beat the hell out of RiRi (we have seen the pics.)

12. ok, here we go again. All the negative hateful comments. Do you just sit at home waiting for a chance to be hateful. He has admitted his guilt, will be punished by a court of law, has a felony record, 5 years probation, and publicly apologized. But still, this is not enough for you. What more do you want? You actually want a 20 year boy in jail who has no history of violence and has never had a record. For what, isn't the purpose punishment and rehabiliation. He is being punished. Everytime he looks in the mirror or see your hateful, ugly comments he has to remember what he did. He has a felony record and will be picking up trash to remember what he did. The domestic violence classes and therapy is for rehabiliation. So how many times must he grovel before you move on. Obviously, Rihanna has moved on and by all accounts have forgiven him. So, why are you still holding on to all that rage. He is not the person that hurt you. Maybe you should look in the mirror and question why you can't move forward. If you look at the video, people were happy to see him and cheering. Read the reviews, everyone said he was great. That's all he owes us-entertainment. He has apologized to Rihanna and that's what counts. Think about it next time you make a mistake and then think about what it means to only be 20 (no experience, young, and dumb). Hope someone forgives you and not punish you for the rest of your life.
