Doublemint Gum Suspends Chris Brown Endorsement

It seems that the Corporate world has begun cutting sh*t off for Mr. Take You Down, I really Wanna Take You Down. They’ve said hell to the naw, to his Doublemint Gum Endorsement. As of now the ish is suspended until further notice.

Via MTV:

In the wake of Chris Brown’s arrest on Sunday for making criminal threats, the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company — makers of Doublemint chewing gum — have announced that they are suspending a current ad campaign that features the singer. 

“Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen,” the company said in a statement released to MTV News. “However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved.”

Brown and Wrigley entered into a high-profile partnership last summer, which saw the singer rework his hit song “Forever” into a jingle for Doublemint gum. A commercial, featuring Brown singing and dancing, began airing in August. The spot also aired during last night’s Grammy telecast, which Brown and his girlfriend, Rihanna, both missed, due to what was originally reported as a car accident.

Mediaoutrage- We knew it was coming. Those corporate m’fers don’t be wasting ANY time cuttin’ yo sh*t off like an unpaid sprint bill.

    Damn if yall aint right about Sprint! They will suspend yo service if u $2.00 short on yo pmt!! But for real, Chris Breezy is just another star who is gonna ruin his career for a piece of ass! Get it together! You don’t need this drama! And Rihanna, u need to find a man that won’t put his hands on you! Remember Robin Givens? Well maybe you too young to remember but, you don’t let a man slap you around like you starring in “Pimps up, hoes down”! Get help! If you need me, call me! He won’t be the first man I sliced up for puttin his hands on a woman!
