Kehlani’s Chris Brown Pic Sparks Backlash, Fans React to ‘Twin’ Controversy

Kehlani is in hot water after sharing a photo with Chris Brown, who cheekily dubbed her his “twin” in the post. The snap has ignited a storm of criticism online, with many fans resurfacing Brown’s troubled past, including his highly publicized domestic violence case with Rihanna and his harsh comments about Kehlani’s 2016 suicide attempt.

Critics took to Twitter, voicing their disapproval: “Kehlani removed Tory Lanez from a song after the Megan incident, but now she’s cozying up to Chris Brown? Seriously?” Another user lamented, “Hanging out with Chris Brown feels like a major slap in the face.” Some accused Kehlani of hypocrisy, questioning how her advocacy for human and women’s rights aligns with her association with Brown.

On the flip side, supporters argue that Kehlani and Brown have long since reconciled. “Kehlani has supported Chris for a while now, so why are people surprised?” one fan pointed out. For more reactions and updates on this ongoing story, check out Hollywood Unlocked and stay tuned to Honk Magazine.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
