The “No Guidance” artist has been compared to the pop icon many times in the past.
Shortly before the show, Chris Brown’s performance was canceled, sparking controversy. Sunday’s show also had the lowest ratings the production has ever seen. Breezy then took to his Instagram story to share his thoughts on the matter.
In a video shared on Twitter, entertainment lawyer John Branca said the tribute was supposed to include singer Ciara and shared his disappointment with ABC, who aired the AMAs. Branca asks, “What’s wrong with ABC? How do you pull a performance with Chris Brown and Ciara?”
In addition, Branca also mentioned that the tribute would’ve been “epic” and felt that ABC was trying to “cancel Black music.”
“They should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe Disney should stick to cartoons. Perhaps they don’t belong in the music business.”
Despite the cancellation, Ciara posted a video of her and Chris practicing for the performance with a tribute to Michael Jackson.
