Jasmine Crockett Presents Chris Brown and Usher with Congressional Recognition
Crockett said she wanted the tribute documented at the congressional level as the singers’ summer stadium tour continues through December.
- On Saturday, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett honored Chris Brown and Usher at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, entering their contributions to R&B into the Congressional Record during the pair's co-headlining tour.
- Producer RoccStar facilitated the formal entry, which is a record submission by individual congressional members rather than an award approved by a congressional vote.
- The Congressional Record entry, titled "Recognizing the Artistry of Chris Brown and Usher Raymond," commends "the extraordinary accomplishments" of the pair whose talent shaped contemporary R&B and popular music.
- Critics questioned the honor given Brown's documented criminal history, including a 2009 assault conviction and multiple restraining orders, sparking immediate online backlash.
- Crockett has previously faced criticism for nicknames used for Texas Governor Greg Abbott and comments regarding Latinx voters during a 2024 interview, adding context to current scrutiny.
