Chris Brown's 2007 hit "Forever" is an infectious, late aughts classic. There is something about the R&B-infused pop beats and his silky falsetto crooning, "I feel like I've waited my whole life for this one night/It's going to be me, you and the dance floor." For crying out loud, America's TV sweethearts Jim and Pam from "The Office" got married to "Forever." Throughout his career, Brown has made music that connects.
But in the same breath, it's not enough to ignore the shockingly disturbing allegations of assault that follow the singer like a trail of muddy, sloppy footsteps. Most infamously, Brown pleaded guilty for felony assault for attacking Rihanna in 2009, stalking and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran which resulted in a five-year-long restraining order, and more recently arrested on charges of rape in Paris and sued for sexual assault in a now dropped $20 million lawsuit.
