Chris Brown is just about tired of people digging into his past and still trying to use it against him.
The singer took to Instagram to reveal that he was tapped on to play in the NBA celebrity all-star game but won’t be able to play anymore after the league allegedly disinvited him. He said, “I was asked by the NBA to play in the all-star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do IT because of their sponsors like RUFFLES. At this point I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m tired of living in the f*cking past.” The R&B superstar went on to say, “I POSTED THE EMAILS SO YALL COULD SEE. The NBA still was tryna get me to come and sit court side… NOT F—NG HAPPENING.” In his final IG Story post l? He added, “I ONLY GO WHERE IM APPRECIATED.”
Knowing that the talented and versatile entertainer has played in other celebrity basketball tournaments in the past without a hitch, fans expressed disappointment following the news by Brown. One fan said, “It’s either sheer incompetence that the NBA didn’t check with sponsors before inviting Chris Brown to their All-Star 2024 and wasting his time, or the industry really likes to mess with his head. Either one isn’t great. Chris Brown is great though.” Another added, “Disappointed in the @NBA y’all really have all these wild mfs at the games even some players miles bridges being one but yall cancel on @chrisbrown for all-star weekend because sponsors?”
