29 April 2019, 10:36 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Chris Brown has responded to Chvrches' post that expressed their disappointment with Marshmello working with Chris Brown and Tyga.

Last week, Chvrches revealed they were "upset, confused and disappointed" after learning that Marshmello had collaborated with Chris Brown and Tyga on new song "Light It Up". Chvrches released their "Here With Me" single with Marshmello back in March.

Chvrches' post went on to call the two artists "predators and abusers", with Tyga responding in the comments, "Everyone makes mistakes no ones perfect. Let’s Keep the energy positive."

Over the weekend the Scottish band uploaded an image of themselves, to which Chris Brown replied, "BUNCH OF LOSERS. these are the type of people I wish walked in front of a speeding bus full of mental patients."

The singer/songwriter lashed out further by adding, "Keep groveling over you own insecurities and hatred. IM BLACK AND PROUD. AND I KNOW ITS HURTS THAT U GUYS ARE STRUGGLING WIT LIFE OR PEACE SO U ARE FORCED TO SEE MY SUCCESS. You aren’t even #2 ( REMEMBER 2nd place only means YOU LOST FIRST! TA-TA. GOODDAY PEASANTS."

Chvrches also shared a number of vicious messages they received after criticising the two musicians. Vocalist Lauren Mayberry wrote on Twitter, "Angry men on the internet can call me all the names they want. I still think domestic abuse is wrong."

Chvrches are currently finishing their US tour before returning to the UK for Latitude festival in July. Find out more.
