HISTORY: Chris Brown & Beyoncé are the only African-American artists who managed to fill South Africa’s “FNB stadium” with more than 94,000 spectators…see more

The embattled R&B superstar’s comment has over 6,000 likes as fans had plenty to say while chiming in to support Brown’s cheeky response.

“Tickets are secured, lessss goo,” one excited fan wrote. Women for Change initially launched the petition on Oct. 2 on Change.org. The BBC reports that South Africa has a long history of abuse and one of the “highest rates of femicide and gender-based violence in the world.”

According to the petition, the group wants the concert’s promoters and South African government to “reconsider” having Brown perform a pair of shows at Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium in mid-December.

“When I saw the news that Chris Brown was coming to South Africa, I was shocked and deeply disappointed,” Women for Change executive director Sabina Walter said to the BBC.

“The petition was started to send a strong message that we will not tolerate the celebration of individuals with a history of violence against women.”
