Chris Brown is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. He gained significant popularity in the mid-2000s with hits like "Run It!" and "Kiss Kiss." While commercially successful and known for his energetic stage presence and R&B-infused pop music, Brown's career has been significantly impacted by a highly publicized domestic violence case involving his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. Despite the controversy, he has continued to release albums and singles, often topping music charts, but remains a controversial figure due to his past actions.
