Daryl Brown believes that his dad…James Brown, his brother-in-law and his older brother Teddy were murdered.

Despite what Mick Jagger and the movie “Get on Up” would have you believe – James Brown never discharged a weapon during the insurance seminar prior to James Brown’s arrest ending him up in prison. Primary concern of James Brown was that he was being robbed.

Michael Jackson returned from exile in Bahrain to “play” with the body of James Brown while he was in the casket in a room at The Apollo, left alone for over 2 hours.

Susie Brown did not abandon James Brown as the movie “Get on Up” would have you believe. The relationship turned deadly with a murder attempt. Leaving the child was the only way to preserve both lives.

Black police officer Donald Danner believes James Brown was shot at by white police officers because of the color of his skin. 23 shots fired at the truck. Two shots hit the gas-tank in an effort to “lawfully” murder James Brown.

Tomi Rae was stopped by police for being married to a black monkey and the police told her they were going to kill James Brown. Overt racism and threat of “disappearing” or murder was a challenge for both Tomi Rae and Adrienne “James Brown’s 2 wives.”

In Daryl Brown’s own words: “How can Universal Studios distribute a movie about my dad without even talking to those that were closet to my dad including me?”
