Rapper Chris Brown is in trouble for painting huge goblin-like creatures on his private property and has even been fined USD 376 for violating the city code.
The 24-year-old's neighbours have reportedly been complaining of the monster-like graffiti painted on the side of his four-story home, reported Ace Showbiz.
His graffiti depicts sharp-toothed, large-eyed ghostly creatures. Patti Negri, president of the Hollywood Dell Civic Association, said she has received dozens of phone calls and emails from people in the community claiming that the monster painting has scared local children.
"There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they're literally frightened. It's like devils on the wall. Big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we're used to," Negri said.
"I know a USD 300 fine is probably pocket change. But hopefully and maybe, he'll just see the light and decide to be a good neighbour. We're happy to have him, if he just tones it down," Negri added.
Brown has been ordered to remove the graffiti within 30 days.
"They are trying to suspend the 1st Amendment. I'm scared of neighbourhood busybodies like this. They've called animal control. They have sicced parking (enforcement) on him, and now they reached the heights of ridiculousness here. Shame on them," his lawyer Mark Geragos said.
