Through his YoungGoldie.com blog, Lloyd took time out to clarify the statement he made in a video interview with Rap-Up.com.

As previously reported, Lloyd said, “You gotta cry, you gotta show your heart to the world” when asked about Chris Brown's emotional performance during his Michael Jackson tribute at the BET Awards.

“I consider Chris a friend. He's been through a lot in the past couple years. I never told him to go on stage and cry. We spoke recently, and I told him as a friend that people hadn't really seen him be vulnerable about his situation last year [with Rihanna].

I thought he was holding back and needed to let that emotion out. Him crying at the BET Awards was real, I could feel it,” said Lloyd.

He went on to say,

“I think he cried about a number of things. About the fact that he thought people would hate him forever because of one mistake. Feeling that love on stage was probably overwhelming. Plus MJ being gone and him performing "Man in the Mirror", that song is powerful, especially for his situation. It pushed him over the edge.”

Responding to the many blogs and fans that took Lloyd's comments as a negative statement against Chris Brown, Lloyd offered this response,

“To say that he was faking or that I'm hating on him, that's some bull sh*t. Last week Essence.com asked me what artist most embodied MJ. I told them it was Chris. I never saw MJ perform live, but he [Chris Brown] is the closest thing I've witnessed. Chris is back, and I'm just as excited as his fans are. It's just frustrating that people want to make everything negative.”

Shut up Lloyd, you must have an album coming out. How can you call Chris your friend? With friends like you, who need enemies. WE all get a second chance in life - deal with it.

LLOYD SHOULDN'T HAVE OPENED HIS MOUTH IF THIS WAS JUST WORDS HE AND CHRIS SHARED. CHRIS DID WHAT HE DID AND AT SOME POINT GROWN PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE IT A REST AND LET THIS 21 YEAR OLD "YOUNG" MAN A BREAK. AFTER 40 YEARS OF CONSTANTLY BEING BEAT DOWN BY SOME IN THE PUBLIC AND THE MEDIA AND THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY LOOK WHERE A GENIOUS LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON ENDED UP (BEHIND LIES). CHRIS NEED TO DO WHAT HE HAS TO DO AND DON'T LET THE "JESUS CHRISTS') OF THE WORLD TEAR HIM DOWN. IT IS HIS FUTURE NOT THE PUBLICS. TALENT LIKE HIS ONLY COMES ALONG EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. GOOD LUCK CHRIS, SOME PEOPLE ARE ON YOUR SIDE.

He doesn't need to cry to get the heart of everybody again. As what he (I'm referring to Lloyd) said time heals all wound and people are starting to forget on what Chris did to Rhianna.

I have been reading your posts during my afternoon break, and I must admit the whole article has been very useful and very well written. I thought I would let you know that for some reason this blog does not display well in Internet Explorer 8. I wish Microsoft would stop changing their software. I have a question for you. Do you mind exchanging blog roll links? That would be really cool!
