An LGBT community paper, Georgia Voice, reported that Chris Brown bailed on a scheduled appearance at an Atlanta Black Gay Pride Weekend event. The report states that Brown refused to enter the event apparently because there were too many men in attendance.
Melissa Scott, the founder of Traxx Girl who hosted the event told Georgia Voice, “I was being told to take his (Brown’s) image down because he looks a little feminine in that image, an image that he took. As a promoter I should be focused on my crowd. I had to send text messages of pictures of my crowd to say, there’s nothing but girls in here man.”
Of course fans were outraged when he didn’t show.
I was at the show Saturday in ATL that @chrisbrown bailed on. This was disrespect towards the lgbt community.

The only thing @chrisbrown was obligated to do at Traxx Girls party was introduce Teyana Taylor to the crowd & THATS IT #HesAFailure4LIFE

Chris has taken to Twitter to address the allegations and the reason he wasn’t in attendance.
I wasn't aware or informed of a show I supposedly cancelled. I have nothing but love and respect for the LGBT COMMUNITY.

The show was never confirmed by any of my people. So I apologize if the fans wanted me there.

I honestly wasn't booked for the show. Hopefully in the future we can do it right. Much love LGBT
