Chris Brown has showcased scenes from his South African concert in his new music video, Residuals.
The US singer – who released the video this week – performed in the country twice on 14 and 15 December as part of his 11:11 World Tour .
The controversial concert was criticised by anti-gender-based violence activists who questioned the star’s entry into the country, given his alleged history with violence.
This comes amid an Investigation Discovery documentary titled Chris Brown: A History of Violence, which the singer is taking action against.
