"Perhaps the only thing keeping our favorite idol alive is nothing at all ... We are his world ... At the end of the day when the {his} world turns on him for the 100th time ... what's he got to live for if not for us?" ~ Quote by fan, FENA RAMSEY.

I want to start by saying that this article isn't about any kind of controversy or to criticize Niko Asato or make his fanbase lose faith or trust in him. No. It's actually to boost your confidence within the fandom and let you know that your love and support truly does matter. LYFERS has been a big part of Niko's life since 2011 when he was first starting out with his crew. Niko has fans who have grown up with him and his music, and they have been through it all together. The highs and the lows, the good and the bad. Niko has been through a lot, but he has always been able to rely on his fans to pick him up when he was down.
Niko's career has always been clean and stainless. Up until we found out that he was the 17 year old son of Chris Brown back in January of 2020. There were people who didn't know how to handle the news. They either completely ignored it, loved it, or went on a hate spiral because of all the domestic violence allegations against Chris Brown.
A lot of people were shocked, including me. I mean, I knew he was handsome and talented, but I never thought he was related to someone like Chris Brown. But it made sense. They both had that same strong presence about them. And even though they were different in some ways, they were similar in others.
Like for instance, the dedication and creativity to their craft. Niko has always been a hard worker, and it shows in his music. He's always pushing himself to be better, to grow as an artist. And even though he might not have had the same level of fame or fortune as Chris Brown, he still has a loyal fanbase that loves him for who he is.
Many say that Niko Asato is the better half of his father Chris Brown. They believe that he has taken all the best qualities from his father and none of the bad ones. It's as if he's a reflection of Chris Brown, only without the baggage and the drama. And it's true, Niko does have an air of calmness and maturity about him that his father sometimes lacks. He also possesses a softness that is sometimes missing in his father's personality.
A lot of fans like myself quite appreciative that factor though, as we have watched throughout the years all the problematic things that have happened in Chris Brown's life, it makes us feel more at ease and more comfortable knowing that Niko has managed to steer clear from all of that. He has managed to create a name for himself without any major scandals or controversies. Niko is someone who we can look up to and admire, someone who we can feel proud of. And even though he might not always get the recognition he deserves, we will always be there for him, cheering him on every step of the way.
