Summary:

  • Chris Brown’s new music video for “WE (Warm Embrace)” with Normani sparked mixed reactions on Twitter.

  • Fans enjoyed the visuals and Normani’s appearance, but others criticized her collaboration with Brown due to his past.

  • Debate continues on social media about whether it’s appropriate for Normani to work with Chris Brown.

Today, Chris Brown released his new music video for his latest single “WE (Warm Embrace)” and it featured singer Normani, which generated mixed feelings on Twitter. Although the R&B singer released his single in April, he just released the music video. With stunning visuals as Brown falls into a multi-colored abyss and finds Normani there, where they dance and share a kiss, many enjoyed the music video and liked seeing Normani, who looked stunning. But, some were not fans, as Brown is a controversial figure, who assaulted his girlfriend at the time, Normani. With Normani being the Savage X Fenty’s first ambassador, a brand created by Rihanna, some found this disrespectful.

Although fans of Brown enjoyed the music video, as they look forward to his 12th studio album scheduled to be released this Friday, some thought that continuing to collaborate with Brown, especially if you work for her brand, was not a good look. “How can you model for Fenty and then do this?” one person wrote. “Nobody on Normani’s team should have to tell her to not work with Chris Brown when we all had functioning brains when the abuse happened and he’s had a reputation since. it’s not about her being protected it’s about her supporting him. Normani is grown and didn’t care, that’s it,” another person stated online.

Some thought that time has passed since the assault, as it happened in 2009, and Rihanna probably did not care. “Chloe got a collab w him. Normani in his video. Lizzo said he’s one of her fav ppl. Rihanna forgave him and plays his music. Meg was blasting No Guidance more than her own song lmao. One day yall will realize your favs don’t share the same “morals” as u (fake morals that is),” one person tweeted. Others pointed out that other musicians collaborated with Brown and there was not as much controversy.

Many maintained that there was no reason to be upset, but many online still could not understand the appeal of working with him, with one person writing “I can’t even say I get it bc he has repeated his behavior toward women, kicks dark skin women out of clubs he’s in and has made the same song since 2012.”

The article attributes it to the organizers, which covers you.) — **Creator Frankie LaPenna fights ‘Terminator’ robot in first human vs. robot bout** SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A man stepped into a fighting cage with a 6-foot humanoid robot, and the robot came out on top. Robotics startup REK staged the human-versus-humanoid kickboxing demonstration in San Francisco on Friday, Sept. 18, putting creator Frankie LaPenna inside a cage with the machine. The opponent was the 80-kilogram (176-pound) EngineAI T800, a humanoid built to look like the Terminator. LaPenna, wearing a helmet and chest protector, landed a few punches before the robot kicked him in the head, according to the official video description. Footage shows the robot kicking him across the cage as spectators outside the ring looked on. “We just made history with the first Human VS Terminator robot fight,” REK posted on X on Sept. 20, adding that more fight footage is coming. The “first” label comes from REK and LaPenna and has not been independently verified. The robot was not fighting on its own. REK’s robots are not autonomous fighters, and the event showcased remote control and mechanical stability rather than independent combat strategy. The bout was part of REK’s work on a virtual reality combat game in which people remotely control humanoid robots to compete against each other. REK founder Cix Liv came to robotics from virtual reality and is building a sport that links virtual competition to physical machines. The LaPenna match pushed his format beyond the company’s usual robot-versus-robot fights. Online, viewers debated whether a trained fighter would fare better, with some predicting human-versus-robot bouts could reach the UFC within five years. — Note: AP datelines use a dash after the city.
