What seemed like a harmless gift has put CB under fire once again. In an Instagram post, he posts his three-year-old daughter Royalty playing with a baby monky.

As adorable as she looked, the video sparked a negative response in the R&B singer’s Instagram and Twitter comments, with people questioning the welfare of the animal.

Some fans came to CB's defense suggesting that he may have allowed Royalty to just innocently play with the marmoset.

One fan commented, "still no one knows the circumstances of this little monkey's visit. The keeper could be right there. This could be just a petting type visit. Money buys private home visits and/or ownership with appropriate accommodations and caretakers... "

According to RSPCA, whilst legal, marmosets are "wild animals that have very specific welfare needs. It is impossible to provide an environment as complex and rich as the wild for a marmoset kept as a pet. They are tropical animals who require a warm climate."

CB has never been one to make life easy for himself as days later he uploaded a video to Instagram of Royalty painting what looks like a horse.

Oh dear.
