    If you happen to be the daughter of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, more likely you are also a huge music fan.

    According to reports, Paris Jackson like most teenagers also love to listen to music and attend concerts from big-named music stars. Recently, Paris Jackson was seen attending the concert of R&B star Chris Brown at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

    Like an ordinary music fan, Paris was seen dancing and screaming the name of Brown in the front row of the jampacked concert. Wearing a blue baseball cap with an Egyptian pharaoh print on the front, the smile never left Paris’s face as she soaked up the atmosphere of the concert.

    Paris was accompanied by some of her closest friends in the concert which drew huge support from the countless fans of the controversial Brown. The 13-year-old teenager was one happy teenage girl in the concert.

    Brown made his recording debut in late 2005 with the self-titled album Chris Brown at the age of 16. The album featured the hit single “Run It!”, which topped the Billboard Hot 100, making Brown the first male artist to have his debut single top the chart since Montell Jordan in 1995.

    The album has sold over two million copies in the United States and was certified double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). He received widespread notoriety in 2009 after pleading guilty to felony assault of singer and then-girlfriend Rihanna.

    He was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community service. The case received extensive media attention and negatively affected his career as a singer and all-around entertainer.

    The scents were due to be presented to the world at a conference Thursday in a night club at the Caesars Palace Hotel Casino in Las Vegas with socialite Paris Hilton and several Jackson family members.
