At a live show in AT&T Stadium near Dallas, Rep. Jasmine Crockett awarded a congressional proclamation to singer Chris Brown and fellow performer Usher, highlighting their contribution to Black cultural expression. The announcement, made alongside State Rep. Venton Jones and music producer RoccStar, formally recorded the recognition in the Congressional Record. Crockett shouted her support for Brown, calling him "a real one," and the artist responded with gratitude.
