American pop star Chris Brown landed in Mombasa yesterday and immediately stirred up controversy following allegations that he smashed the cellphone of an adoring fan who had tried to take a selfie with him.

Brown arrived at Moi International Airport in a private jet a few minutes to midday and was immediately whisked to the English Point Marina amid claims that adoring fans tried to swarm his entourage as he left the VIP Lounge, causing a stampede and security scare. It is not clear why these fans were allowed access into the VIP lounge.
