Chris Brown Posts Photo With Pharrell
Chris Brown is showing off his friendship with Pharrell in a new photo posted on Instagram. Brown showed up for a surprise performance at Pharrell’s Something In The Water festival. The festival, which took place in Virginia Beach, had an impressive lineup of performers over three days. Brown was one of many surprise guests that showed up. Pharrell joined him on stage at one point while he performed some of his hit songs.
The iconic producer praised Brown for his many talents and artistic accomplishments over almost two decades. Pharrell introduced him as the “dancing-est, singing-est, craziest video-making singing dude in R&B and pop music until now.” He went on to say that Breezy needed to be shown more appreciation. “Make some noise for our brother. Came all the way over here to make this happen,” Pharrell said. “Make some noise for Virginia’s own, Chris Brown! Lil bro, listen, there’s only one you. There’s only one you. Give this man his flowers again, make some noise for Virginia’s own! “
Breezy Just Wants To Be Appreciated
During Chris Brown’s performance, he showed gratitude towards Pharrell and the audience for their love and support. Still, he still doesn’t have any plans to make regular appearances at these types of events. Brown stated recently that he is not interested in performing in the United States anymore. When a fan commented on his Instagram to ask when he would perform at the Super Bowl, Breezy said he does not want to perform for an audience that does not appreciate him. “Never shawty. American media AINT FA me,” he wrote. “Rather be where I’m welcomed.”
Of course, it’s really no question why Brown isn’t “welcomed” here. There is a long list of things that the singer has done, any single one of which would be enough to ruin most people’s careers. Some haven’t paid Breezy’s personal life much attention since he horrifically assaulted Rihanna. However, his more recent actions have shown that he hasn’t changed at all. “Stop acting like a 5-year restraining order isn’t a big deal, stop acting like being a colorist isn’t a big deal. Just say I know he has violent and problematic ways however, I still choose to support him,” one Twitter user said. “And in all honesty thats the issue. Y’all don’t want to say that because you know how it sounds so y’all rewrite history and lie about his ways in order to feel justified in your support of him. It’s ok.”
Pharrell’s ‘Something In The Water’ Festival Forced To Cancel Final Day Due To Severe Weather Conditions
Pharrell’s budding music festival Something In The Water was forced to cancel its closing day moments ago. The multi-day event returned to the producer’s hometown of Virginia Beach, Virginia. However, the weather conditions over the weekend haven’t been the best. With high winds, rain storms, and even a tornado warning, organizers were forced to pull the plug on today’s (April 30) performances.
In a statement posted to the festival’s official Instagram page, they shared the news, writing, “We are disappointed to share that under the advisement of the city of Virginia Beach and the local authorities, we have to cancel day three of Something In The Water due to significant impacts to the festival site caused by severe weather, as well as the current and forecasted storms approaching and a tornado warning.”
The message continued, “We did not make this decision easily, but everyone’s safety is our top priority. We will be refunding 33% of the base price from admission passes. Refunds will be automatically processed beginning tomorrow and take approximately 14 days.”
Pharrel chimed under the post, writing, “Dearest Virginia, We are the best. These past few days have been the best. Even during this Tornado Watch and Lightning Storm right now, as I type, we are the best.”
The producer continued, “Thank you for giving the folks that travel here that energy and that LOVE that only we can give. Thank you to our partners, the vendors, production, policemen, firemen, the city council, the mayor, and all who volunteered. The spirit here was felt everywhere!”
“Next year, we will shift the dates because this rain ain’t playing, but we will be! Next year, more acts, more merch, more food… just more! Continued blessings and favor to you all,” closed the musician.

Diddy And Son Make Something In The Water Appearance
It’s the final day of the Something In The Water Festival in Virginia Beach. The lineup this year has been pure bangers. Performances have included Arcade Fire, Coi Leray, Grace Jones, Kehlani, and The Jonas Brothers. The festival, which began in 2019, was a solution to abating the violence that came with the popular “College Beach Weekend”. To many, Virginia Beach is the northern equivalent of Daytona Beach, the popular Florida spring break destination. Pharrell wanted to create a “positive weekend” that didn’t take away from the college break experience.
Legendary rap artist Diddy was not among the artists listed to perform at the festival. Diddy and festival organizer Pharrell are long-time friends. Diddy even appeared on The Voice in 2016 as part of “Team Pharrell”. However, not being on the set list wasn’t going to stop the hip hop mogul. He and his son made a surprise appearance at the proceedings yesterday. It was a surprising ray of sunshine on what has been a very wet weekend for festival attendees.
Diddy And Son Dance At Something In The Water
Despite rain bad enough to trigger a weather advisory in Virginia Beach, festivalgoers were treated to a number of guest stars during Pharrell’s Saturday set. First up was Diddy and one of his sons. The pair danced around stage, performing a number of iconic hits from Diddy’s Bad Boy Record days. He reworked his classic song “Pass the Courvoisier” into a new version, “Pass the Cîroc” alongside Busta Rhymes, “Finna Get Loose” with Pharrell, and “All About the Benjamins.” Diddy and Busta Rhymes previously appeared as part of the 2019 Pharrell’s Phriends set.
However, they were far from the last guests during the “Pharrell’s Phriends” set. Controversial rapper Chris Brown also made an appearance. While the weather abated somewhat on Saturday, the festival really is in the water again on Sunday. Organizers have delayed a number of morning and early afternoon events due to wind and rain. It is unlcear when the final day of music will begin because of the conditions. Previously, the start of the festival on Friday night was delayed five hours due to the poor conditions.

Pharrell’s Phriends For His 2023 Something In The Water Festival Have Been Revealed
Something In The Water Festival, the Pharrell-led shindig returning to Virginia Beach on April 28, has revealed the “final” lineup of the Pharrell’s Phriends headlining set. This year, the multitalented, nigh-ageless producer will be joined on stage by a cadre of blog-era faves and Golden Era influences. ASAP Rocky and M.I.A. will represent the former, while Native Tongues mainstays Busta Rhymes and De La Soul make up the latter. Meanwhile, the updated flyer promises even more surprise guests that “we can’t announce” yet, so it seems fans will want to stick around to find out who else shows up.
In the past, Pharrell’s Phriends have included frequent collaborators like Clipse, Justin Timberlake, NORE, and Q-Tip, as well as SZA. This year’s additions include artists who share Pharrell’s adventurous, experimental approach to music, as well as the artists who inspired him as a young, aspiring rapper. Pharrell recently gave fans his advice on which of De La Soul’s recently re-released albums to stream and was once in a rap trio that was very De La Soul/A Tribe Called Quest-inspired with Timbaland and Magoo called Surrounded By Idiots. They recorded a demo that you can find on YouTube, but never released an album.
In addition to the Pharrell’s Phriends performers above, the festival also added Arcade Fire, Jonas Brothers, and Third Eye Blind to the lineup.
Something In The Water Festival is April 28-30 in Virginia Beach. You can find more info here.
