Singer Chris Brown has used a racist remark to strike back at comedian Aziz Ansari for calling President Donald Trump the "Chris Brown of politics" during his "Saturday Night Live" monologue.

In an expletive-ladden Instagram post, Brown called Ansari "Alladin".

During Ansari's nearly 10-minute speech, the comedian and "Master of None" star noted the similarities between the new president and the tempestuous singer, reported New York Post.

"I'm sure there's a lot of people that voted for Trump the same way a lot of people listen to the music of Chris Brown, where it's like, 'Hey, man! I'm just here for the tunes.
 

"I'm just here for the tunes. I don't know about that other stuff. I just like the dancing and the music. I don't condone the extracurriculars'."

Several people took offense to Brown's post commenting that Ansari is Indian and Aladdin is Middle Eastern.

Despite the backlash, Brown slammed Ansari again in another Instagram post.
