Chris Brown Pal: We Shouldn't Judge So Fast
03/06/2009 2:00 PM, E! Online
Friends of Chris Brown and Rihanna continue to speak out about the couple's recent drama. "It's a really touchy subject for me—a really touchy subject," David Banner, Brown's collaborator on the 2008 hit "Get Like Me (Stuntin' Is a Habit)," told us at last night's A Place Called Home benefit at Pinz bowling alley in Studio City, Calif. "But I think that until everybody gets all of the information, we shouldn't judge." Like Mekhi Phifer told us last weekend, Banner said we should remember how young Brown and Rihanna are. "It was a bad situation either way it goes, but I really, honestly believe more than anything that those are kids," he said. "People forget that. Those are still kids." He continued, "We look at them, they're millionaires, they're doing well for themselves, but they're just two kids. And I really think that instead of being as harsh about the situation, people should help. And I don't think people look at it like that." J.R. Rotem, producer of Rihanna's first No. 1 hit, "S.O.S.," most recently worked with Brown. "I was in the studio a few months ago with Chris," Rotem said. "And I was surprised as anyone else." Rotem declined to say too much about the situation. "I really don't know what's going on behind closed doors," he said. "I mean, I can tell you in general, in life, I don't condone any sort of violence, but I don't really know the inside of the situation." —Additional reporting by Dahvi Shira ··· THEY SAID WHAT?
