Meet hip hop artist Danny Brown.
Originally born Daniel Dewan Sewell, he’s a rapper from Michigan and has been described by MTV as “one of rap’s most unique figures in recent memory.”
And recently, when performing on stage in Minneapolis, a female fan pulled down Brown’s pants and attempted to perform oral sex on him.
Seriously.
(You can see the photo – NSFW – here)
Everyone had a great laugh at this young woman’s audacity and the internet erupted with blokes congratulating Brown on the ultimate pop star achievement. The chorus got louder as more and more joined in the commentary.
Largely Brown was labelled either a womaniser, who had used a poor girl to reinforce his ‘rep’, or as the coolest guy ever, for getting a blowjob on stage and not even missing a beat.
Music websites that wrote about the incident used congratulatory language, saying things like ‘he brought a twist to a recent concert by receiving a blowjob on stage’. News Ltd reported that Brown had “outraged fans by allegedly receiving oral sex from an audience member while performing”.
Another rapper, Kendrick Lamar, tweeted Brown asking “U really just got the h— on stage stanny???” Brown reportedly replied, “didn’t miss one bar” – but the tweet has since been deleted.
But, um, hold on a second.
Danny Brown backed away the moment he was approached by the woman.
He did not look welcoming, he looked a bit shocked and confused.

It may have been sexual assault, but here's the thing. Thousands of women everyday and in every way are sexually assaulted and THEY find it hard to get justice. The people that might be keeping Danny Brown quiet as you suggest are MALE colleagues, MALE fans and his perception of his own masculinity. So at the risk of victim blaming, I'd suggest that again that it's MEN that need to have a good look at themselves.
And I don't get the invitations to touch his dick? Why was he offering? Did he say "no please don't touch my dick??"
Surely you have to say 'no' before it can be deemed assault?!
