American R&B star Chris Brown allowed to leave Philippines after missing Hong Kong show

Grammy award-winning singer Chris Brown was finally on his way out of the Philippines after a three-day delay due to a fraud complaint against him for a cancelled concert last New Year’s Eve.

Brown was able to obtain a certificate that allowed him to leave the country, said Elaine Tan, spokeswoman of the Immigration Bureau.

The 26-year-old R&B artist had been stuck in Manila for a third day after running afoul of a corporation, run by an influential religious group’s members, that filed a fraud complaint against him for a cancelled New Year’s Eve gig. He performed on Tuesday at a packed concert in Manila.

“Manila it was fun, love y’all man,” the rapper says in a brief video posted on Twitter as he walks towards a plane. “If you’re free to come to Macau - party tonight!”

Journalists saw Brown and around 10 others boarding his private plane parked at an airport hangar, with one taking a selfie before going into the plane.
