Ciara and Chris Brown dance up a storm in music video for their new duet... ... trends now
Ciara and Chris Brown danced up a storm in a brand new music video for their new song How We Roll, released Thursday.
When Ciara announced the single this Wednesday, she was lambasted online by fans who objected to her working with Chris because of his violent past.
In 2009, four years after he became a star, Chris infamously beat up his then-girlfriend Rihanna to the point that she had to be hospitalized.
Ciara's Instagram comments this Wednesday were abuzz with denunciations from scandalized fans decrying Chris as 'toxic.'
The new music video for How We Roll then dropped Thursday night - including one eye-catching moment when Ciara sings: 'Know I like it when you do it like that,' and then mimes throwing a few punches.

Controversy: When Ciara announced the single this Wednesday, she was taken to task online by fans who objected to her working with Chris because of his violent past
The video begins with Ciara, wrapped in a varsity jacket, receiving a call from Chris on her car's Bluetooth feature while she drives.
Chris tells her about party he is giving and urges her to 'come through,' but she replies: 'That's crazy, I was about to call you and tell you to roll through my party.'
'Well, you better cancel that party,' Chris says with a smirk as a buddy of his gives him an encouraging pat on the arm. 'Mine finna be lit.'
'Yeah, I know how you do,' says Ciara with a smile of her own, challenging him to see whose party becomes a subject of discussion the following day.
Ciara is then pictured at her party, clad in a black leather jumpsuit that emphasizes her lithe dancer's body and plunges to flash a bit of cleavage.
Flanked by a phalanx of backup performers, Ciara launches into an intricate dance sequence in an elegantly-appointed living room.
As the camera moves back, the party house is revealed to actually be the interior of a truck that is completely open on one side.
The truck speeds down the highway at night as Ciara and her fellow revelers whirl through the rooms, performing their intricate choreography.
