Most of fans were beyond excited after seeing both Ailee and the “Bad Guy” hit maker in the same frame. However, a few have given dividing opinions when her photo with Chris made its way online. For the uninitiated, Chris is widely known for his involvement in numerous scandals and controversy, including an abuse case with his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, which made it in worldwide headlines in the past.

As a result, the comments section has been flooded with mixed remarks given by netizens. Refusing to stay mum, Ailee responded by claiming that the “With You” singer “was one of the artistes I enjoyed listening to (while) growing up and that’s a fact that will never change.” She further added by writing, “I took this photo without any knowledge of what he did!!! The only thing on my mind was literally ‘Oh wow!! I used to love his songs!'”

Edit for the last time!! When I said “he WAS one of the artists I enjoyed listening to growing up and thats a fact that will never change. “ i meant the fact that i enjoyed his music when I was younger will never change. I TOOK THIS PHOTO WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEGE OF WHAT HE DID!!! the only thing on my mind was literally “oh wow!! CB! I used to love his songs!” I DO NOT and WILL NOT support women, men, pet, animal or any other kinds of abusers and the ONLY reason im keeping this post up is to CLARIFY the reason i took this pic in the first place. I DO NOT THINK LIGHTLY OF ANY ABUSES. Now stop giving me so much shit for something I didnt even know happened and leave ?? me?? alone?? DAYUM

The 30-year-old powerhouse vocalist the concluded by asking the netizens to “stop giving me so much shit for something I didn’t even know happened,” before demanding them to leave her alone. Her clarification was not well-received by her fans though.

In this case, they pointed that she should have at least heard about the controversy surrounding the former flames, relating to the fact that she used to live in the States before pursuing her career in Korea. On the contrary, some have came to her defence by sarcastically wrote that they will protect her from the R&B singer. Check out some of their replies here:
