Hip hop star Chris Brown is begging for help in getting out of the Philippines, where he is stuck after getting caught up in a legal wrangle. Describing his plight as “a very serious situation”, the 26-year-old singer insisted on Twitter he has done nothing wrong. Earlier, in a video posted on Instagram, Brown is seen on his knees pleading to be allowed to fly out. “Please, please, let us leave, please,” he asked, appearing to send a thinly veiled distress signal to the U.S. president as he captioned the post: “OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!”
Can somebody please tell me what… is going on? I don’t know, I’m reading headlines after headlines.
Chris Brown
Brown was barred from leaving Manila after fraud allegations were made against him and his promoter over a cancelled New Year’s Eve concert. The complaint was brought by the indigenous Christian group Iglesia ni Cristo, which claims the star failed to appear at a show they had booked him for. In a video posted on Instagram, Brown was seen on his knees pleading to be allowed to fly out. “Please, please, let us leave, please,” he asked, appearing to send a thinly veiled distress signal to the U.S. president as he captioned the post: “OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!” His predicament could threaten upcoming dates on his world tour, with the back-flipping singer due to perform in Israel on 27 July and Cyprus a day later.
