Chris Brown has been called all manner of things, but if you really want to rile him up, just compare him to Donald Trump.
The pop star used a racist remark to strike back at comedian Aziz Ansari for calling the new president the “Chris Brown of politics” during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue this weekend.
“F–K NO!!!!!! Somebody tell ALADDIN HOP OFF MY D–K!,” Brown, 27, wrote alongside a repost of The Shade Room’s video of Ansari’s joke on Sunday.
During his monologue Saturday, Ansari, 33, noted the similarities between the new president and the tempestuous singer: “I’m sure there’s a lot of people that voted for Trump the same way a lot of people listen to the music of Chris Brown, where it’s like, ‘Hey, man! I’m just here for the tunes. I’m just here for the tunes. I don’t know about that other stuff. I just like the dancing and the music. I don’t condone the extracurriculars.’ ”
The “Master of None” creator and star then punctuated the joke by saying that Trump’s campaign slogan was just like the hook from Brown’s hit song “Loyal.”
“If you think about it, Donald Trump is basically the Chris Brown of politics, and ‘Make America Great Again’ is his ‘These hoes ain’t loyal,’ ” he said.
Brown, who’s not exactly known for his sense of humor, obviously took issue with the joke, and has now gone after the comedian in two separate social media posts. Before calling Ansari “Aladdin” — an attempted insult that misses the fact that the comedian’s parents are from India, not the Middle East — the singer recorded a since-deleted video about the joke.
“I can’t f–king catch a break,” he said in the short clip. “This n—a said, ‘Donald Trump is the Chris Brown of politics.’ I swear I’m moving, gettin’ the f–k outta here. … Don’t f–kin’ trust what you see. Even salt look like sugar.”
Representatives for both Brown and Ansari did not respond to requests for comment. While I certainly don’t think being compared to Donald Trump would be a comparison any of us would be fond of, I also think this may have been one of those instances where it would work best in Chris favor to ignore. Well, too late for that now.
