Ooooweeee! Chris Brown shared a message with fans on his Instagram Stories about hating the music industry. Not only that, but he also mentioned not liking celebrities, and his comments have folks wondering which famous faces Brown is referring to.
The R&B Tour with Chris Brown and Usher has been making headlines for months, mostly because of the risqu fan interactions on stage. The show is so popular that the tour was recently extended, and fans were ecstatic.
However, Brown has folks talkin’ after he shared a cryptic post on his Instagram Stories about hating the music industry on Tuesday, September 22. Furthermore, the artist’s profanity-ridden rant noted that he didn’t want to “participate in this circus.”
“I’m not your friend. I’m not your buddy,” he wrote. “I don’t like majority of you I don’t want your approval I don’t want your fake love I hate the music industry. I don’t wanna participate in this circus. If it doesn’t benefit my children I don’t need it.”
Brown didn’t stop there, and he went on to state that he would “BE THE VILLAIN.”
“You will no longer be able to be around me F*CK BEING HUMBLE,” he continued. “F*ck your agenda. F*ck your narrative. F*ck how you feel. I DONT LIKE NONE OF YOU CELEBRITIES. I AM THE BEST HANDS. DOWN. IM THE KING. IM ON THAT TYPE OF TIMING. NOT A SINGLE ARTIST ON THIS PLANET CAN F*CK WIT ME ON MY WORST DAY! They know it. I’m tired of being nice F*CK YO OPINION. ILL BE THE VILLAIN.”
The posts come days after Usher wore a crown on stage during The R&B Tour, and Brown seemingly reacted on social media by declaring himself the king.
