Ciara fans react to her collaboration with Chris Brown.

While some of CiCi's fans were excited about the two talented dancers getting back together, many slammed her for featuring Chris Brown despite his domestic violence charges.

Here are the reactions:

@TooSweet4Breezy asked:

"Lol Chris and CiCi have been FRIENDS for years and now y’all have an 'issue'? You weren’t going to support anyway."

@DGNY could only imagine:

"The video is about to be a Mortal Kombat dance battle."

@ambular_93 slammed Ciara:

"Every time an artist (especially female) collabs with this man, I wonder how they’re going to explain it to their children. How do you explain to them that you don’t care about his long rap sheet or his victims because he can dance and carry a tune?"

@OhUwantMoe was annoyed:

"Why are you all still pushing Chris Brown on us?"
