Less than one day after R&B singer Lloyd made headlines for claiming that he told Chris Brown to cry on stage during his BET Awards tribute to Michael Jackson, the artist tried to clear the air.
“I consider Chris a friend,” Lloyd said. “He’s been through a lot in the past couple years. I never told him to go on stage and cry. We spoke recently, and I told him as a friend that people hadn’t really seen him be vulnerable about his situation last year [with Rihanna].
“I thought he was holding back and needed to let that emotion out. Him crying at the BET Awards was real, I could feel it.”
Lloyd said he never intended the comments to be negative and that he was surprised that so many people in the music community took offense to it.
“Chris is back and I’m just as excited as his fans are,” he said. “It’s frustrating that people want to make everything negative.”
