‘I Would Do the Same’: Chris Brown’s Daughter Gets Excited About His New Music Video, Calls Her Friends to Show Them

Chris Brown’s daughter got a No. 1 fan, and she just so happens to share his last name.

On Friday, his mother, Joyce Hawkins, uploaded a video of her eldest granddaughter and Brown’s daughter, Royalty, excitedly watching him perform on television. The 7-year-old can be seen standing in a living room holding her phone up to show her friends her father’s new music video “Iffy,” which had just dropped on the same day.

Royalty, who seems to be on FaceTime with a friend, is standing there calmly swaying her head back and forth watching the “Look At Me Now” singer. At one point in the video, Brown’s car turns into a robot, and Royalty can be heard saying, “Look, here’s the robot.”

Hawkins wrote, “SHE SO EXCITED ABOUT HER DADS VIDEO SHES CALLING HER FRIENDS AND SHOWING ALL OF THEM. SO SO CUTE!! SHE SAYS THE ROBOT PART IS THE BEST PART!!”

In the comments, fans gushed over Royalty’s cute reaction to Brown. One said, “LMAO Royalty is her dads biggest fan I’m crying she is so cute!! It’s her filming it 😢❤️❤️ Chris is blessed to have her as daughter. All his kids are so cute!!”

Someone else said, “When kid’s brag on their parent’s, it hit different!! That makes you feel good as a parent!” Another joked about how they would have the same reaction if Brown was their father as well. “If I had him as a daddy I would do the same.”

In 2014, Brown welcomed his daughter Royalty with Nia Guzman. A year later he dropped his seventh studio album and named it after her. While doing promo for the album he opened up about being a first-time father on the “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” show.

He said, “It’s actually great. It’s very humbling. You know, it’s very calming. I think I was a lot, you know, rambunctious, very hyper as a kid, but now seeing that 10 times over, my daughter’s kinda like mellowing me out.”

Brown now has a 2-year-old son, Aeko Catori Brown, whom he welcomed with Ammika Harris. It’s not clear whether the two are still together.

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
