Chris Brown sparks outrage over 'disgusting' gift for three-year-old daughter

Chris Brown has come under major fire after he shared a video of his three-year-old daughter's early Christmas present.

Instead of getting a puppy or kitten, the hip-hop star gave Royalty an exotic baby marmoset.

The 28-year-old posted the video on Instagram asking Royalty "is this your baby?" - and his followers were quick to respond. 

One follower said: "Shameful. Wild animals are not your pets".

Another agreed: "Let that baby be in the wild where it belongs. You ripped that baby from his mother for your own pleasure and entertainment. Buy her a stuffed animal instead".

A third added: "Everyone please report this video so we can get it taken down and actually educate the mindless zombies out there that wild animal should be left in the wild."

"Nooo, monkeys are not pets this little one needs to be in the wild not in a nappy, it's not a doll," someone else wrote.

While another simply described the clip as "disgusting."

In the clip Royalty can be seen sitting with the tiny mammal on her lap, wearing a nappy and wrapped in a blanket.

While owning a marmoset is not illegal, animal experts strongly advise against it, as they require very specific care and habitat.
