On April Fool’s Day, Justin Bieber shared to the world that his wife, Hailey Baldwin, was pregnant.

It certainly made fans excited but people slammed him after he revealed it was all a joke.

In his latest Instagram post, he defended Chris Brown who was charged with assault on his ex-girlfriend Rihanna back in 2009.

Brown pleaded guilty and was ordered to serve 5 years of probation, counseling for domestic violence and community service.

Bieber took to Instagram and shared his thoughts, comparing Brown to the likes of Tupac and Michael Jackson. He wrote: “Everyone wants to wait til people die To give them the credit they deserve.

“I’m calling it now. When CB passes away after a long full life, you will miss what you had in front of you the whole time … trust me, watch, you will see.

“The people who have over looked this man’s talent because of a mistake he made… you need to reevaluate! Love you @chrisbrownofficial.”

Chris Brown immediately replied and said: “I LOVE YOU MAN! THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME. YOUR STAR SHINES SO BRIGHT AND YOUR HEART IS UNMATCHED!

“YOU ARE A KING BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU WERE PUT HERE TO INSPIRE AND CREATE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES BRO! IM WITH YA TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF AND WHEN THEY DO … WE GONE [sic] GET SOME NEW WHEELS.”

Some netizens commented to share their appreciation for Brown but others are not as grateful.

One said: “CB’s not even close to that level and NEVER will be. I can’t believe Justin disrespected them like that, it disgusted me even more.”

Another wrote: “Just because he’s talented doesn’t mean he should be given a free pass to harm others. Posts & sentiments like yours are exactly why survivors are afraid to come forward and speak out.”

A third added: “If this happened to someone that u love, I’m sure that u will never say something like this.”
