Chris Brown's arrival in South Africa was truly a moment for local artists to show off their work and hopefully impress the singer and his team, and they indeed showed out.

Local fine artist, SK Original, made it his mission to create and hand over an original portrait of Breezy at one of the singer's shows, and the Major League DJz made it possible.

SK shared footage from creating the portrait using his famous cracked glass technique, to finally meeting the singer and having his talent praised.
