[UPDATE]
Two days after being prevented from departing the Philippines, Chris Brown posted another video on Instagram asking authorities to let him leave.
Brown, who is supposedly holed up inside a Manila hotel, was seen on the video getting down on his knees, saying “Please, please let us leave, please, please,” before doing a backflip.
The post was accompanied by the caption, “OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,” in an apparent appeal to US President Barack Obama.
The post has been deleted.
Brown is grounded in the country because of the $1-million estafa complaint the Maligaya Development Corp. (MDC), the overall administration and management of Ciudad de Victoria where Iglesia ni Cristo’s Philippine Arena is located, filed against him.

The singer was supposed to perform at the New Year countdown party at the Philippine Arena on December 31, 2014, but was a no-show. He reportedly claimed he had lost his passport on the way to the country.
On Tuesday, Brown staged a concert at the Mall of Asia Arena. But on Wednesday, he was prevented from leaving the country in compliance with the lookout order issued by the Department of Justice.
Brown previously turned to his Instagram account to post rants, his realizations and a breakdance video while grounded in the Philippines. IDL
