People can usually separate an artist’s work from their personal life, but some celebrities make that decision harder than others. Over the years, plenty of famous names have been involved in criminal cases, public scandals, or behavior that permanently damaged their reputations. Even so, many of them continue to land major projects, release new work, and attract devoted fans who never stopped supporting them. Whether it’s because of nostalgia, talent, or simply short public memory, these celebrities have managed to stay relevant despite their controversies.
Here are 15 celebs we can’t believe really still have fans.
Chris Brown
His career has been overshadowed by assault convictions, legal issues, and other controversies. Even so, he continues to release successful music and sell out concerts.
Kanye West
After years of increasingly controversial statements, including antisemitic remarks, Kanye lost major business deals and partnerships. Despite that, he still has a large and loyal fan base.
