Pop star Justin Bieber has publicly shown support for fellow musician Chris Brown, just days after Brown was arrested in connection to a violent nightclub incident in London.
Bieber commented “Welcome home” on Brown’s May 22 Instagram post, which featured the “Forever” singer stepping off a private jet with the caption, “Cook, remain humble.” The post came roughly a week after Brown was charged with grievous bodily harm with intent following an alleged attack at a London nightclub.
The 36-year-old singer was reportedly taken into custody and later released under investigation, though further details of the case remain undisclosed.
Bieber’s message of support sparked a wave of mixed reactions on social media, with some fans defending the longtime friendship between the two artists, while others criticized the gesture in light of the charges.
Neither Brown nor his representatives have publicly commented on the ongoing legal matter.
