Inside Adele And Chris Brown's Unlikely Friendship
Looks like Adele said "Hello" to a houseguest that may surprise you: Chris Brown. Yup, it seems the superstar British songstress and the controversial rapper had a hang session. On Oct. 10, 2020, Brown was photographed covertly visiting Adele's London, England home along with a full entourage, according to The Sun.
"It was all a bit cloak and dagger," a source claimed to the outlet. "He arrived in the middle of the night and didn't leave until around 2AM. He arrived in huge, blacked-out cars, with plenty of muscle surrounding him." Huh! According to Page Six, there's nothing romantic at play; Brown reportedly made the visit along with rumored girlfriend Gina Huynh. Meanwhile, Adele is rumored to be dating rapper Skepta, who Brown is friends with. "Adele and Skepta have a close bond and there's definitely a special connection. They're spending more and more time together," a source said in 2019.
According to Cosmopolitan, Brown was also in the U.K. to see his son Aeko, whom he shares with ex Ammika Harris. Earlier, Brown posted a photo of the reunion with his son on Instagram, captioning the post, "MADE IT." The trip is also significant since Brown was banned from the U.K. from 2009 until 2015, because of his assault on Rihanna.
