Chris Brown has called out a Brazilian man who has been “impersonating” him.
Breezy jumped on Instagram on Thursday (July 11) to air his grievances with user Tigomgl, whose page is almost entirely dedicated to showing off his striking resemblance to the R&B singer.
In a fiery comment, Brown wrote: “It’s lame as fuck impersonating me.. you look like you missing a chromosome. BE YOU MY N-GGA… YOU COULD NEVER BE ME ! SO STOP IT BEFORE I SLAP DA SHIT OUT YOU.”
The lookalike, whose real name is Tigo Fariah, has posted several comedy videos unrelated to Chris Brown and largely innocent photoshoots.
However, one clip shows him spoofing Breezy’s recent concert mishap where he was suspended in the air for several minutes.
Another photo was seemingly inspired by Brown’s X album cover.
This isn’t the first time a Chris Brown doppelgänger has made headlines.
While vacationing in Croatia in 2022, Fabolous came across someone he swore looked exactly like the singer.
The man had a clothing style similar to Brown, with tattoos to match. He even busted a few Breezy-esque dance moves, much to Loso’s delight.
“Am I high or this Chris Brown?” the Brooklyn rapper captioned his Instagram Story while filming the lookalike. “Yea that’s Breezy…I knew I wasn’t crazy. Croatian Chris Brown got it…Cro Breezy with the dance moves.”
In other news, Chris Brown’s meet and greets with his fans have been the subject of countless viral posts online, though not all of them have been truthful.
Late last month, a social media user who goes by Lushotz shared images of a woman on crutches meeting with the “Run It” hitmaker and wrote: “This woman paid $1,111 for a ‘Meet & Greet’ with Chris Brown. When he saw her, refunded her money and also gave her an extra $10k, along with these beautiful pictures.”
Not long after the post began making the rounds online, the person in the photographs uploaded a video to dispute the story.
“I’m just here to set the record straight,” she said. “What I’m not okay with is strangers on the internet using my face and exploiting my disability for likes and clicks while spreading misinformation. That we not gonna do.
“Just like everyone else, I support Chris as a brand and as an individual, so if you see me at a show or meet and greet, please know that I paid for my ticket. I paid to get there.
“This going around takes away from everything that I personally did to get there. It takes away from the hours I work. It takes away from the things that I sacrificed to work the overtime because I wanted to treat myself.” (HipHopDx)
