"Excuse me. Chill out."

She then continued:

"I want to tell Chris thank you so much for making great R&B music."

Brown's presence in the industry has been controversial since 2009 when he pleaded guilty to assaulting then girlfriend Rihanna as part of a plea bargain.

He has since been accused of other cases of violence against women, stalking, and harassment. Several cases were plea bargained, reduced to fines or dismissed pending Brown's completion of rehab.

Though his career was initially impacted in 2009, Brown continued to successfully record new music.

Some on Twitter shared their disappointment in Rowland defending Brown.






However, others applauded Rowland for addressing the crowd and agreed Brown deserved his award.







Brown was set to perform a Michael Jackson tribute at the awards, but said in an Instagram post his appearance was canceled, possibly explaining his absence from the event.

The tribute was to be in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Jackson's Thriller album.
