While there are outcries and concerns from parents of children that watch the kids/teens channel Nickelodeon, the network for Nickelodeon reportedly will keep Chris Brown as a nominee for the Kids’ Choice Awards due to the kids nominating him months prior to his recent legalities stemming from the alleged assault on his girlfriend, Pop star Rihanna (Robyn Fenty) on February 8th.
The outrage from parents and other protesters were stated to have been sparked when Brown reportedly posted an update on his Facebook urging his fans to vote for him for the Kids’ Choice Awards.
According to Nickelodeon spokesman, Dan Martinsen, “Like all our KCA nominees, Chris Brown was nominated by kids several months ago based on his body of work as a performer, and the kids who vote will ultimately decide who wins in the category,” Martinsen was quoted as saying in a statement.
Although the awards show is nearing and is scheduled for March 28th, Nickelodeon’s decision has not stopped angry parents, organizations and concerned on-lookers from venting, calling, protesting and attempting to sway the network from supporting Brown.
A petition which has been placed online to request the removal of both Chris Brown and Rihanna who recently reconciled their relationship has received close to 5,000 signatures. The request for both to be removed is allegedly due to petitioners believing Chris Brown should have been removed at the time he was initially charged and due to Rihanna continuing her relationship with the singer.
Meanwhile, in other reports, the two are allegedly putting focus back on their music careers and hopes to move forward after their unfortunate incident. However, there is still the matter of the court date re-scheduled for April 6th where Chris Brown faces charges on criminal threats and assault for the alleged fight that occurred with Rihanna.

FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO CONGRATULATE NICKELODEON ON NOT REMOVING HIM, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPEDED AND THE STORY IS COMING FORWARD MORE AND MORE AND IT SHOWS THAT HE WAS NOT COMPLETELY IN FAULT, JUST LIKE TODAY THE RADIO STATION AND MTV. SAID THAT THE ALTERCATIONS OF BROWN HITTING RIHANNA BEFORE WAS NOT TRUE YES THEY GOT INTO ARGUMENTS BUT HE NEVER HIT HER AND YOU CAN GO READ IT ON MTV.COM AND TMZ. AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT SHE BEAT HIM WITH HER STILETTO, AND SLAPPED HIM BEFORE HE EVEN TOUCHED HER. HE TRIED TO MAKE HER GET OUT THE CAR CAUSE SHE WAS HITTIN HIM WITH THE SHOE AND SHE WOULDNT LEAVE AND HE PUSHED HER HEAD AND WHEN HE PUSHED HER HEAD IT HIT THE WINDOW, AND HE SAID HE DIDNT MEAN TO DO IT AND THEN SHE HIT HIM AGAIN AND THATS WHEN THE FIGHT ACTUALLY STARTED. SO I SAY TO YOU ALL IF SOMEONE IS BEATING ON YOU FOR A TEXT MESSAGE THAT PERSON IS NOT THE VICTIM IF THEY END UP GETTIN THEIR A** WHIPPED , SHE SHOULDNT HAVE TOUCHED HIM AND I THINK THE ONES THAT BASHED HIM IS GOING TO FEEL REAL STUPID BY THE END OF THE WEEK OR AFTER THEY HEAR THE NEW NEWS. THEY BOTH WERE WRONG AND I DONT CONDONE ABUSE BUT IF YOU HIT SOMEONE THAN YOU HAVE TO EXPECT THEM TO REACT, AND THOUGH HE SHOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY SOMETIMES IT HARD TO DO THAT, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE. BUT AT THE SAMETIME THEIR AGE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. THE ARE STILL IMMATURE. AND I THANK OPRAH AND SNOOP AND THE OTHERS THAT EXTENDED A HELPING HAND TO THEM. WE ALL ARE HUMAN INCLUDING THEM AND WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
