Chris Brown’s legal woes take a turn for the worse.
Child Protective Services has launched an investigation against the “Loyal” crooner, following his highly publicized gun assault arrest late last month. A source close to the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services tells NBC News that they paid a visit to 27-year-old’s home on Thursday, Sept. 22 to check in on his 2-year-old daughter Royalty, who is said to be staying with him right now.
According to TMZ, Brown’s baby mother, Nia Guzman, seems to be the one who filed the complaint after Baylee Curran — who allegedly has ties to Guzman — claimed Breezy pulled a gun on her. After a nine-hour stand off with police, Brown was apprehended and later released from jail after posting $250K bond. Though Brown’s attorney revealed no guns or drugs were found at the home and Royalty was not present at the time of the incident, her custody is likely in question.
Early this morning, September 23, Breezy took to Instagram (in a now deleted video clip) to defend himself against allegations he’s been targeted by CPS, saying “I take care of my daughter fully.”
“Somebody make an accusation, 90 percent of y’all believe it, and it’s bullsh*t,” he added. “The last three weeks or whatever been going on with the accusations, you know it’s false.”
“I don’t get the benefit of the doubt as everybody else,” Brown continued in his video. “I take great pride in being a father. I love my daughter. All these allegations and bulls—, stop lying bro.”
In addition to the investigation, Brown’s gun assault arrest prevented him from entering Japan this week. The singer was scheduled to perform in Tokyo next week, but was denied entry into the country via working visa because of the ongoing investigation. A Japanese consulate official told TMZ that the country has a very low tolerance for admitting visitors with criminal backgrounds and open cases.
Meanwhile, Brown didn’t appear to skip a beat, as it’s reported he and his legal team plan to reapply before his Japan tour dates. Unfortunately for Brown, we don’t anticipate his CPS investigation will help his case.
