We ask fans at Chris Brown's Hampden gig about his domestic violence record

CHRIS Brown has brought his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour to Scotland’s national stadium – and with him comes a string of legal issues including a domestic violence sentence for assaulting his partner Rihanna and having had a restraining order granted to an ex-girlfriend.

Brown is also currently out on bail after being charged with an "unprovoked attack" in a London nightclub in 2023.

Our reporter travelled to Hampden Park to ask those paying to see the US singer what they knew of his criminal past and how that made them feel.

Seated tickets were still going for £117 ahead of the gig, but those who had already nabbed their tickets cited – among other things – his dancing as a key reason for coming along.

Others said they prefer to "mind [their] own business", or that Brown and Rihanna had been "as bad as each other". 

Watch below as attendees reacted to Brown's lengthy legal history.
