Peeps speculated that the pop star's stage was axed because of his previous legal offenses. Chris made headlines in 2008 when he pleaded guilty to assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
When the rehearsal clip circulated prior to the show going live on television, other netizens begged the AMAs to consider allowing him to perform. However, that did not happen as Chris was a no-show at the lush event.

"Because he's been charged 3 times for beating women?"

@Stephyknows replied:
"If all of us were judged on something we did when we were teenagers, there would be a lot of us in trouble. Move on and let the man live!"
@MelokuhleStokwe commented:
"Say what you want to say about @chrisbrown he is Talented. And for the @AMAs to do that is kinda wack for me. We needed this. I've always waited for this specific Tribute "
@dudeonthebay also said:
"Probably because a woman abuser was going to do a tribute for a child abuser. AMA finally woke up and said, Nah not cool."
@IvanIvez added:
"The industry will never forgive Chris for what he did to Rihanna 13 years ago. It’s so sad"
