Joey hosted an AMA on Reddit earlier this week, where he defended his decision to work with Chris Brown on “Welcome Back” given his controversial past, whom he considers a very talented friend.
“Chris Brown is one of the most talented artist musicians of all time are you kidding me?” Joey said to a fan who asked him why he decided to team up with Breezy. “It was an honor that he was even so willing to be a part of my album.”
He continued: “He’s also a friend of mine. I get it, you guys may not think he’s perfect or cool because of things he’s done in his past, but which one of you guys are perfect?”
