Chris Brown removed himself from the 2009 Kids Choice Award ballot

Chris Brown has removed his name from the 2009 Kids Choice Award ballot, a day after Nickelodeon refused to withdrawn Brown’s name from consideration for their Kid’s Choice Award.
Chris mouthpiece released this statement: “Chris very much appreciates the support of his fans and the honor they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated.”
Brown’s announcement to withdraw his name from the Kids Choice Award comes after more than 10,000 people signed an Online petition to remove him from this year’s nominee list.
The petition also calls for Rihanna’s name to be dropped from the list of nominees, because she went back to her alleged abuser.

The petition says: “While we don’t think public figures are expected to always act responsibly in the name of being a role model, this situation is unacceptable on both sides. To say that either of these people setting a suitable example to be held up as ‘winners’ is preposterous,”
