Chris Brown is done playing nice.
In a fiery rant on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday, September 22, the R&B star appeared to take aim at his critics and colleagues alike.
“I’m not your friend. I’m not your buddy. I don’t like majority of you. I don’t want your approval. I dn’t want your fake love. I hate the music industry. I don’t wanna participate in this circus,” Brown, 37, wrote.
“If it doesn’t benefit my children I don’t need it. You will no longer be able to be around me,” he continued. “F*** BEING HUMBLE. F*** your agenda. F*** your narrative. F*** 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 FUCK WIT ME ON MY WORST DAY! They know it.
The Grammy-winner added, “I’m tired of being nice. F*** YO OPINION. I’LL BE THE VILLAIN.”
Brown’s message came hours after he first responded to Andscape’s David Dennis after the journalist brought up Brown’s alleged problematic behaviour, including his 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown replied in the comments section and demanded proof. “Hey brother: can you show me where I’m actively abusing women to this day. NOT ALLEGEDLY, NOT I HEARD. CRIMINALITY IS PUBLIC INFORMATION WHEN YOU ARE CONVICTED OF SOMETHING!”
Brown pointed out that there has been no abuse charge against him ever since the Rihanna incident.
