Singer Kay Cola Says She Heard Chris Brown Beating Karrueche Tran

By Sydney Scott · Updated October 26, 2020

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Kay Cola has come forward to defend Karruche Tran against trolls and victim-blaming Chris Brown stans. 

Cola, who lived next door to Brown, launched a series of tweets claiming she’d heard the singer abusing the model and actress and even called the police on one occassion. 

Some of y'all make me sick to my stomach talking about. Karrueches lying. I've heard him beating her myself. I even called the police:

— TheLucidDreamQueen (@KayCola) February 21, 2017

I used to cry over that situation hearing her screaming at the top of her lungs because i am also a victim of domestic violence

— TheLucidDreamQueen (@KayCola) February 21, 2017

Some of y'all are so delusional defending this man! It's sick! He will never get help or change because of yes man and weirdos like y'all

— TheLucidDreamQueen (@KayCola) February 21, 2017

I never spoke up, cause I didn't feel it was my place but hearing y'all say she's lying I can't just sit by and watch this

— TheLucidDreamQueen (@KayCola) February 21, 2017

Cola continued that she’d confronted Chris, who continuously woke up her daughter, claiming the singer was rude when she approached him.

I even got into it with Chris because his loud ass used 2 wake up my daughter. He was rude as fuck & I had known him since he was a kid

The point is, stop defending these assholes and always blaming the woman. It's sad & sick, & is why women don't speak out

— TheLucidDreamQueen (@KayCola) February 21, 2017

Women literally get murdered by men who act like this and y'all thing it's cute or she just wants attention gtfoh

— TheLucidDreamQueen (@KayCola) February 21, 2017

I'm a mother, I've been through a lot, trolls on the Internet will never stop me from speaking out on justice and the truth.

— TheLucidDreamQueen (@KayCola) February 21, 2017

I don't regret sticking up for Karrueche or telling the truth. Whatever comes with it. I stand for what's right at all times

— TheLucidDreamQueen (@KayCola) February 21, 2017

Fans have come forward to praise Cola for speaking out about the situation and defending Tran, as victims of domestic violence are often blamed and discredited when they step forward. 

Cola added that it’s no wonder celebrities are able to get away with so much “because of weirdos like u putting them on a pedestal letting them get away with this crap.”

“If you’re really a Chris Brown fan u would want him to get help, not make excuses for everything he does. That’s real love.”
