Rumors of Chris Brown’s Shocking “Gift” in South Africa Spark Outrage

Rumors are swirling that, with alleged influence from former President Jacob Zuma—himself a known polygamist—American R&B star Chris Brown has been “awarded” 50 South African virgins to take back to America after his two-day concert in Soweto.

Among the rumored names are popular singer Nelisiwe Sibiya and the Qwabe Twins, sparking heated debates online and backlash from advocacy groups.

Controversy Overshadows Concert

While fans eagerly anticipate Brown’s performances at the FNB Stadium this weekend, the alleged “gift” has added fuel to an already divisive event. Advocacy groups, including Women For Change, have strongly condemned the rumors, describing them as deeply offensive and harmful to the fight against gender-based violence and patriarchal traditions.

Calls to cancel the concert have intensified, with political parties like the GOOD Party urging the government to intervene. “This is not just about Chris Brown’s history of abuse; it’s about the normalization of harmful practices disguised as culture,” one representative stated.

Fans Rally Behind Brown

Despite the backlash, Brown’s supporters argue that the rumors are baseless and serve as a distraction from his music. “This is just another attempt to tarnish his image,” a fan tweeted. Ticket sales remain strong, with Saturday’s show already sold out and limited availability for Sunday.

The Larger Debate

This latest controversy raises questions about the intersection of celebrity, cultural traditions, and social accountability in South Africa. Whether or not the rumors are true, the public outcry underscores the challenges of balancing artistic celebration with societal values.

As Soweto braces for thousands of fans, Chris Brown’s visit has sparked a cultural and moral debate that goes far beyond his music, leaving many wondering about the impact of celebrity influence in the country.
