Chris Brown isn’t holding back his feelings anymore. Tired of constant comparisons to other artists, he took to Instagram to express his frustration with the music industry’s relentless focus on competition.
In his Instagram Stories, Brown opened up about his disdain for being pitted against other artists. He stated that until an artist manages everything alone without any help, he doesn’t want to be compared. “I wish yall stop comparing me to other [artists] and saying me vs someone else,” he wrote.
Brown’s frustration extends beyond just the comparisons. He revealed his disenchantment with the celebrity culture, saying he doesn’t mingle with celebrities and feels excluded from their circles. “I don’t fuck with celebrities at all and I’m not welcome in their circles,” he pointed out.
The singer, often embroiled in controversy, also speaks passionately about his efforts. After two decades in the industry, he feels overshadowed by media-driven drama rather than his work. He expressed feeling like his hard work isn’t acknowledged: “I been overly busting my ass for the last 20 years and I understand I will never be recognized for nothing more than drama!”
Recently, Brown shared another side of his life in a social media post where he posted pictures of himself exploring European cities at night while on tour. He revealed that these solitary walks bring him a sense of normalcy and peace that daylight fame cannot afford.
He admitted that these nightly excursions help maintain his mental health, stating, “Fun fact: I like to sneak out by myself when I’m in different cities. It helps me feel human and normal.” Being constantly in the public eye during the day feels restricting to him, and he finds solitude to be grounding.
Yet, life on tour isn’t void of its setbacks. Brown was arrested in the UK last month, charged with a serious offense stemming from an alleged 2023 nightclub incident. Despite the charges, he was granted bail under a hefty $7 million bond, allowing him to continue his European tour journey.
Chris Brown’s candid remarks shed light on the pressures of fame and the challenges of living under constant scrutiny. His journey reveals a man striving to maintain his identity and sanity amidst the chaotic rhythm of celebrity life.
