Chris Brown has made it clear he’s not here for the comparisons and wants people to stop pitting him against other artists, stating bluntly that he doesn’t “f**k with celebrities.”
On Friday, June 27, the R&B star—currently headlining the Breezy Bowl Tour—took to his Instagram Story to vent about feeling shut out by the music industry. In a lengthy post, the two-time Grammy winner pointed out that he’s been grinding for two decades and built everything on his own.
“I wish y’all would stop comparing me to other [artists] and saying me vs someone else,” he wrote. “Until one of these artists do all this sh*t by themselves with no help and the media constantly f**king with them, then come holla at me. I’m trying to feed my family! I could give a f**k about the next artist and what they doing!”
He also added that he doesn’t “f**k with celebrities” and isn’t accepted in their circles.
“BREEZY BOWL IS DEDICATED TO THE FANS WHO ACTUALLY WANNA BE THERE!” Chris Brown wrote. “F**K EVERYTHING ELSE! I BEEN OVERLY BUSTING MY ASS FOR THE LAST 20 years and I understand I will never be recognized for nothing more than drama! So miss me with dat sh*t please!”
While he didn’t name names, fans believe the “drama” he’s referring to likely ties back to his past legal troubles and domestic violence history. Just last week, Brown appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to a grievous bodily harm charge related to an alleged 2023 nightclub assault in London.
Despite the noise, the Breezy Bowl Tour continues, with Bryson Tiller and Summer Walker joining him for the European leg, which wraps on July 5. The North American leg picks up on July 30.
