Anger over Brown award nomination
Children’s TV network Nickelodeon is facing a growing storm over its refusal to drop R’n’B star Chris Brown from a list of potential award winners.
Brown, who is accused of beating and threatening to kill his 21-year-old girlfriend, singer Rihanna, has been nominated for favourite male singer and best song at the channel’s Kids’ Choice Awards.
But a growing campaign is putting pressure of TV bosses to take his name off the list, with an online petition showing more than 10,000 names.
