Best Coast (Bethany Consentino) has slammed Chris Brown for the track ‘Back to Sleep’, arguing that the hit single perpetuates rape culture.
Consentino took to Twitter to call out not only Brown, but the team behind the song and a review that compliments the track, too.
Brown – who pleaded guilty to a felony assault on his girlfriend (at the time) Rihanna in 2009 – called his younger self an “asshole” late last year, saying his daughter had changed him.
Consentino said that the Brown track “tells” a woman (rather than asks) he is “going to wake her up with sex,” and said the track is “disgusting” and “saddens” her in a series of tweets. She concluded “rape culture is everywhere and it’s a big problem.”

"just let me rock, fuck you back to sleep girl, don't say a word no, girl don't you talk" are lyrics to the chorus of a VERY popular song

You already know how I feel about Chris Brown – but WHY/HOW are those lyrics ok? Cool, a song that perpetuates rape culture being a hit.
