Chris Brown has mimicked another sex act while performing 'Under The Influence' on stage, despite receiving backlash in the past.
The singer was previously criticised for grabbing the neck of Love Island's Natalia Zoppa during his famous on-stage lap dance in Manchester last month.
And now it seems that the 33-year-old R&B star is at it again at the Rolling Loud music festival in Thailand. Watch below as he performs his raunchy moves with a back-up dancer:

Brown's reputation was immediately tarnished 14 years ago when he physically assaulted his then girlfriend Rihanna after a pre-Grammys event on 8 February 2009.
Rihanna, then 20, was left with visible injuries to her face and was hospitalised as a result.
Brown, aged 19 at the time, pleaded guilty and accepted a deal of 1,400 hours of community service, five years' probation and domestic violence counselling.
Although Rihanna has seemingly forgiven Brown for the incident, the 'Forever' singer has been under the microscope ever since.
In February, Brown said he's 'so tired of y’all running with this narrative'.
"If y’all still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17-year-old (19-year-old) please kiss my whole entire a*s,” he wrote on his Instagram stories.
Yet the musician continues to court controversy, and viewers took offence to him putting his hand around the neck of Zoppa, as she sat in the chair and sang along to the famous song.
Commenting on the viral clip, one person thought: "This is so unpleasant to watch. Even the fact that she’s on a stage with him doesn’t stop her obvious discomfort - as she puts her hand up to his as it encircles her throat."
Another added: "Maybe I should mind my own business but, why would you want Chris Brown of all people putting his hands on your throat after what he did to Rihanna."
While someone else said: "This is so disturbing. A man with a history of DV, sitting a fan on stage, grabbing her around the neck then thrusting in her face.
"She may be a Love Island star but she doesn't look comfortable with it. Why do women pay to go and watch him?"
Well fast-forward to last night, Brown was headlining Thailand Rolling Loud music festival, where he performed, arguably, his most popular track - 'Under The Influence'.
The 2019 song, which is about having sex with a woman while under the influence of drugs, is regularly performed at all of his recent concerts.
Rocking dyed blue hair and a white T, Brown sits in the chair on-stage as a backing dancer, wearing pink shorts and a matching top, starts mimicking sex acts with him.
She appears to mimic giving him a b*** j**.
The pair also shared a quick kiss on-stage.
UNILAD has contacted Brown's representatives for a comment.
