Reports are circulating that a select batch of Chris Brown CD’s found in British HMV stores have anti-violence advisory stickers plastered on the front.


NME reported last week that copies of Brown’s latest album ‘Fortune’ have a sticker reading: “Warning! Do not buy this album! This man beats women.”


“The stickers, which bear the message are thought to have been placed on the albums by anti-domestic violence campaigners. They were first spotted in a Cambridge branch of HMV,” NME reports.


HMV states that they had no involvement in the stickers and claim it was an isolated and unintended incident.
