On Tuesday, June 21, Chris Brown received a direct message from a fan. A young woman battling thoughts of suicide reached out to him. She was searching for guidance from someone she looks up to, and the ‘Back To Sleep’ singer was happy to help.

Brown posted screenshots of their conversation on Instagram. In the caption he admits that he usually never responds to direct message requests, but in this situation he made an exception.

I never respond to DM requests but I figured I could help. I see so many fans in meet in greets with cut marks, disabilities etc…. And they tell me how my music has saved their lives. THIS IS THE REAL FUCKIN REASON I WILL NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC AND BEING ME. You never know what people go through and feel. But the pain our world is going through every day has no super Heroes so 1 day at a time the little things or big things we do positively can “SAVE” the world. change isn’t instant. You might even take a step forward then 3 steps back. As long as LIGHT(UNCONDITIONAL LOVE) is still in you we have the free will to prosper! ❤️✊

Earlier this year, Chris received heavy criticism for his insensitive tweets claiming Khelani’s suicide attempt was a stunt for sympathy. It seems he later changed his tune and is taking the topic of suicide more seriously.
