In a recent interview with The Boombox, R&B singer Anita Baker praised controversial singer Chris Brown, saying he is “brilliant.” Baker applauds Brown’s ability to overcome personal issues while succeeding professionally. The 54-year-old singer feels Brown is “gifted beyond measure.” The Boombox reports:
