Lucas posted a video message to his Instagram, denouncing the recent hate on the “Under the Influence” singer.
“I’mma say this s—t one time, and I’m not going to say it again,” he started. “There will be no f—king Chris Brown slander tolerated, my n—a. And I’m not talking about the fans, fans gon’ talk s—t. I’m not talking about the fans. I’m talking about weirdo, f—king celebrity weirdos that go on these podcasts and start popping s—t at my n—a for absolutely no f—king reason.”
Lucas continued, “N—as making faces and s—t. N—s trying to take shots, talking their little s—t, saying whatever they say. Trying to get a reaction and then once a n—a react to you, then you n—as…’Oh, he’s aggressive…Rihanna…’.”
Lucas affirmed that behavior wouldn’t be tolerated, adding he had real fans, family and friends behind him. He also told his celebrity haters to stop using Breezy as a “clout tool.” Although he didn’t call Gomez out by name, he elucidated that the warning pertained to all males and females regardless of status.
“It is what it is,” he said. “Cancel me, I don’t give a f—k.”
Lucas stated Brown changed his and other people’s lives.
“…a motherf—king GOAT. Closest thing we got to Michael Jackson. I don’t care what you say about The Weekend.”
He warned that people would see more of him the next time someone opened their mouths to slander the “Fine China” hitmaker.

The cherry on top was when Lucas posted Gomez’s viral VMA reaction clip and old clips of the former Disney star jamming to Brown’s music and took to his Instagram Story to address it.
“N—as be secretly fans behind closed doors and listen to [Chris Brown’s] music just as much as we do, but then go on a political hate campaign and take the position of bashing the n—a. Smh, these are the same people who advocate against bullying and being treated fair, but then wanna sub bro and smear him in front of the world.”
He continued, “I ain’t gonna watch it go down no more and not step in front of every bullet. Idgaf who you are or how many followers you weirdos got. We not doin’ that.”
