CD Sales Climb After Rihanna Assault



According to Hip Hop Crunch, Rihanna's latest CD "Good Girl Gone Bad" has been increasingly removed from the shelves in response to Chris Brown's alleged assault on Rihanna. I wonder, though, if this has something to do wither either supporting Rihanna or people are curious about Chris Brown's statement of "discovering her true colours" and may find some secrets hidden within her lyrics.

What surprises me, however, are some of the conversations I've been hearing. I was in Chapters the other day and I overheard some women talking about "What did Rihanna do to provoke Chris Brown to do this?". EXCUSE ME?! What century are we living in?! It saddens me that some women out there still put the blame on other women (and themselves) into justifying an aggressive man's actions. Whatever the case may be, this poor girl needs a break, son!

  1. It's sad to see especially considering that Chris Brown apparently grew up in an abusive household. The old adage remains true, any news is good news when it comes to sales....and of course, in true hip hop fashion, Chris Brown is using these tough times to re-connect with Jesus....gimme a break....

  2. Seriously. I find a lot of PR stunts often incorporate religion as a quick fix to sweeping the filth under the carpet. I remember this PR stunt happening after Vanessa Hudgens was caught sending nude photos to boyfriend Zac Efron... and it sure as hell worked. Maybe Chris Brown's connection with Jesus through these tough times will help him get his job back and the press off of his back too.
