R&B Star Chris Brown played at MARS

Last night I went and played a game at Mars. When I rocked up there was a game on with about 10 minutes left.

I said to my teammates who were already there "Any good". They said "yeah ... this #20 is alright"

Look out there was a little African American bloke, the tatts, the swagger, talking all sorts of trash. And he looked familar.

Look over at the bench - massive body guard looking bloke (blinged up to the nines).

"Who is this guy?" I ask.

Turns out it was R&B star Chris Brown - had a massive hit a few years back - was at no 1 for 6 weeks. He is playing in town tonight.

He rang Leo at Mars and said he wanted to come down and play. A team was short so he filled in.

He had game - was not unbelievable but he was good.

Things got werider when 2 teamamtes (the team he was on) started fighting with each other and the game got called off.

He stayed around and chatted with people, signed autographs, took photos - seemed pretty cool.

Thought I would share.

Yeah, good story. If you were playing against him, you'd be a little hesitant to commit the hard foul for fear of what his body guard might do to you!

And I hope he at least covered the team fee for the game!!

He is singing with Beyonce at the entertainment centre tonight. His song "Run it" which was nominated for a Grammy.

He is basically bordering on super star status.

Find it a bit hard to believe he rocked up at MARS but awesome if he did.

I'm not lying about this Anon 637 - I have better things to do than just make up rubbish about some guy who I barely have heard of - he was there dude, playing ball.

If you know Leo - he will confirm it.

If Ben Fitz can make time to show up to MARS, then Chris Brown can too.

So if Chris Brown was playing then, i guess in time outs he was trying to get the team to run a few offensive plays...

"Let me see if you can run it, run it..."

Yeah sorry Anon 665 that I was not au fait with Chris' back catolouge of work especially considering I like a different brand of music vastly removed from R&B - I believe I did point out that I did not know him.

It can be said that we "don't know who the hell you are" - oh the irony!

he is supporting Beyonce mate so pretty sure that he hella famous in the world of Hip-Hop/R&B - I was merely pointing out that it was odd to have an international music star playing at one of our little stadiums and the product we put forth is 2 teammates fighting with each other & also that he is a top bloke.

Next time anon 665 a multi mullion record selling recoding artist comes and plays at a gym I am at I will certainly make sure to sight every song that a particlar multi mullion record selling recoding artist has ever recorded and sold.

The wiki link is there ... use it

Chris Brown is pretty much a mega star. He is only 19 so he will only get bigger!

Chris Brown was beyonce's supporting act last night at the entertainment centre! i was there in the second row so literally 3 meters maximum away from him. He is an amazing dancing and r&b singer. Listen to his music you will know- he is even better live and up close. Oh and by the way he is 17, 18 in may as he stated at the concert last night.

I know Leo and I wouldn't give him the time of day.........
I heard he got thrown out of the stadium the other night from a game. He is suppose to be a worker there and he carries on like a wanker ! Not a good example...
He also walks around in a game like his deodorant under his arms are killing him !
