Jill Scott Praises Chris Brown

Jill Scott is trending after she took to the streets of Twitter to celebrate and praise Chris Brown for his many talents. 

@chrisbrown is amazing. How does ANYBODY sing like THAT? Dance, look, Act and Rapā€¦ like THAT? Beyond gifted.

It appears, exceptional people have to go through exceptional šŸ”„. Thereā€™s nothing to debate.

Jilly from Phillyā€™s tweet was sparked by Breezyā€™s explosive diss track, ā€œWeakest Link,ā€ aimed at Migos rapper Quavo

After releasing the scathing diss track, ā€œChristopher Maurice Brownā€ began to trend as people collectively agreed the R&B star was rapping harder than their favorite rapper. 


I think itā€™s safe to say Jill Scott also agrees. 

But, her celebratory tweet about Chris Brown and his talents was immediately met with pushback by someone who tweeted, ā€œI think the women heā€™s abused would disagree.ā€

Jill responded by sharing how flawed people can still be talented. 

I doubt it.

My Motherā€™s ex-husband was a mean, violent human AND he could lay foundation better than anyone in my city.

What he did with cement was awe-inspiring. We got away.

He got a raise and praise for his ability. God dealt with the rest.

When another Twitter user asked Jill Scott what her post meant, she further explained:

It means that even he had something to offer. He was sick/hurt and did cruel things.

I forgave him because of his trauma. Did I forget? Never.

So I try my best to choose better.

Iā€™ve failed a few times but not in that abusive area.

Another commenter wrote, ā€œI refuse to forgive men who commit crimes against women and children. They cannot be rehabilitated.ā€

Jill Scott responded:

And I caution those who refuse to forgive because they will undoubtedly need forgiveness at some point in their lives.Ā 

Weā€™re all flawed and need help.Ā 

Power to people who move past violence.

The past is a terrible reminder AND the future is ours.

Jill concluded her Q&A by tweeting: 

Look. Years of prayer, therapy, self-reflection, & making every effort to keep my feet on the ground has made me compassionate for other human beings.

People go through šŸ’© and do terrible šŸ’©.

We say we believe in God; pray for enlightenment.

We ARE a living testimony.

Jill also admitted, “Talent does not equate a good person.
