So, things have gotten pretty heated online lately regarding the whole Chris Brown concert situation in Johannesburg. South Africans are divided, with some folks wanting to see the ‘Say Goodbye’ hitmaker live in December, while others are vehemently opposing the concert because of his history of violence.
This debate has taken a sharp turn because of the recent comparisons made between Chris Brown and Jub Jub—real name, Molemo Maarohanye.

The Jub Jub Controversy
Last year, Jub Jub made headlines after his peculiar appearance on Podcast and Chill, where he spilled the tea about his relationship with ex-girlfriend Amanda Du-Pont. This led to her bravely coming forward with some shocking allegations, claiming abuse during their two-year relationship.
She wasn’t alone, as three other women also accused him of rape. Though the national prosecuting authority eventually dropped the charges due to low chances of a successful conviction, the issue remains sensitive.
Comparing Apples to Oranges?
Now, many are questioning why people would forgive Jub Jub but not Chris Brown. One X user sparked this debate by saying: “Y’all can forgive Jub Jub, but not Chris Brown? Please man.” Responses came flooding in, with some defending Chris and others standing alongside Jub Jub.
It brings up an interesting point about how society views these two cases differently. After all, Chris has a convict’s record for his actions against Rihanna and a history of trouble, all while selling out venues. Meanwhile, Jub Jub’s career seems to keep rolling despite serious allegations.
This conversation shows how selective outrage in society can be. As the debate continues, the overarching call for accountability reminds us that these issues should never just be brushed under the carpet.
Jub Jub served time and paid his debt to society.
He didn’t go and kill more kids like chris brown went on a spree of harming women.
When you guys also get abused we will embrace your abusers. We will return the favour to you https://t.co/mDmOu0L9eQ

We don’t support Sjava, Somizi, Jub Jub, Arthur and we ALSO don’t support Chris Brown. We the “selective feminists” have made it very clear we want all these people in jail but will settle for deplatforming.
Do you know who has been supporting them… You bitches. Not us. pic.twitter.com/xrfm89AEhc

Chris Brown is paying more than Jub Jub. Jub Jub killed people and still got a job to invade people privacy and embrass them on National tv pic.twitter.com/cMuAVWFowF
