After Ne-Yo performed at the Grammy’s this past Sunday, he was informed about the alleged assault on Rihanna. He was shock as everyone else was when the news broke. T.I. also spoke with Carson Daly about the incident stating:
“Yeah, I spoke to him today. He cool, you know. I guess he a little concerned about the situation, but he’s still the same Chris…I told him this too shall pass. You people gotta remember, we celebrities and we entertainers but we still human. All of us.” Access Hollywood
Terrence Howard states that “Chris is a great guy. He’ll be all right,” Howard says. “And Rihanna knows he loves her.” Insider
Kanye West commented on the situation to Ryan Seacrest Tuesday morning on his KIIS-FM radio show stating:
“She has the potential to be the greatest artist of all time and, in that sense, I feel like that’s my baby sis and I would do any and everything to help her in any situation,” the rapper told the disc jockey. “I don’t want to speak more into the specifics with that situation, but all I’ll say is it’s just so devastating.” Kanye went on to say, “I feel like, just as a person, I don’t care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald’s, that should never happen. It should never come to that place.”
Chris Brown’s former step-father had this to say (the same man who allegedly abused his mother when they were married):
When asked by Access Hollywood if he believed Brown hurt Rihanna, Donnelle Hawkins says, “I wouldn’t be surprised…He (Chris) has to take responsibility for his own actions.” Us
