Chris Brown and Tyga collaborated with Marshmello on their new single "Light It Up" and Chvrches isn't a fan.
Chvrches released a statement writing, "We are really upset, confused and disappointed by Marshmello's choice to work with Tyga and Chris Brown. We like and respect Mello as a person but working with people who are predators and abusers enables, excuses and ultimately tacitly endorses that behaviour. That is not something we can or will stand behind."
Chris Brown recently heard of their reaction and fired back by saying in comments on Chvrches instagram page, "BUNCH OF LOSERS. these are the type of people I wish walked in front of a speeding bus full of mental patients. Keep groveling over you own insecurities and hatred. IM BLACK AND PROUD. AND I KNOW ITS HURTS THAT U GUYS ARE STRUGGLING WIT LIFE OR PEACE SO U ARE FORCED TO SEE MY SUCCESS. You aren't even #2 (REMEMBER 2nd place only means YOU LOST FIRST! TA-TA. GOODDAY PEASANTS."
Tyga also commented on their original post of their reaction writing, "Where all God's children. Everyone makes mistakes no ones perfect. Let's Keep the energy positive."
Chvrches claims they are receiving death threats after they "bashed" Chris Brown on his new collaboration with Tyga and Marshmello.
Lauren Mayberry, vocalist and percussionist of Chvrches, decided to discuss it before Chvrches took the stage at the Fortress Festival in Texas explaining why the band went after Chris in the first place, and why she thinks it's "morally dubious" for musicians to work with artists who have a history of violence.
