The singer Chris Brown has made his first public appearance since he was grilled by French police over allegations he raped a woman during a ‘drug-fueled’ party in Paris.
Greeting his fans with a wave and a smile, the pop star shrugged off the sexual assault claims made by a 25-year-old woman, shouting ‘I love you’ to his supporters.
He was whisked away in a chauffeur driven car to an undisclosed location in the French capital where he filmed the music video for a forthcoming song.
Brown, 29, an R&B singer with a string of hit singles globally, is accused alongside two other men of meeting a woman in a nightclub near the Champs-Elysees before taking her back to the five-star Mandarin Oriental hotel and carrying out the attack.

The singer was in custody yesterday alongside a man believed to be his bodyguard following the allegations of assault and ‘drug infractions’.
Brown defiantly brushed off the allegations and performed a dance next to the Siene river wearing black gloves and a black hat for a music video, surrounded by dozens of crew members.
He has denied the allegations in an Instagram post to his 50 million followers on Tuesday night.
‘For my daughter and my family this is so disrespectful and is against my character and morals,’ Brown wrote in the all-caps caption following his detention in Paris.
‘This is false,’ he wrote. The image on the post simply read: ‘This b***h lyin’.

‘This friend asked me what I was doing the next day, and if I would like to meet Chris Brown,’ said the woman, who finally met the rapper on January 15.
‘I said yes and the next day, on Tuesday, I had an appointment at 11.30pm at the Mandarin Oriental hotel to meet the rapper. At the reception of the hotel, I found myself with friends of his and other girls. We went up to his suite to pick him up and we all went to a nightclub called ‘The Quay’.
‘Everything was going well. Around 4am, they decided to go back to the hotel. I wanted to go home, but someone in Chris Brown’s entourage took me by the arm and said: ‘Come on, we’ll have a good evening.’

‘Leaving the nightclub, there were two Mercedes vans that were full up. So I said, ‘There’s no place, I’m going home.’ Then I was told, ‘No, come on!’. And I was put in Chris Brown’s car with another girl.’
The group got back to Brown’s rooms at the Mandarin Oriental where the attack is said to have taken place.
