Chris Brown lashed out on social media on Friday after he was beset by a new wave of criticism over his history of domestic violence.
The 33-year-old singer berated his critics for repeatedly mention his brutal assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, which sent her to the hospital.
Following the latest wave of criticism, which was set of by Chloe Bailey’s announcement that she had collaborated with him on her single How Does It Feel, Brown also tried to shift the blame toward other white celebrities that he believed had been given a pass for past domestic abuse claims.
He also mocked the Cheetah Girls and 3LW singer Kiely Williams for having a lisp.
In a barrage of text posts shared to his Instagram Stories, Brown claimed that he couldn’t get the second chance that he believed so many other celebrities had been given.

Youthful transgression? He claimed beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna so badly that she had to be hospitalized in 2009 was a ‘mistake’ from when he was 17, and he accused his critics of turning a blind eye to other abusers
‘If yall still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17year old please kiss my whole entire a**!’ he began his latest set of posts.
‘I’m f***ing 33! Im so tired of yall running wit this narrative .. You weird a** n****s are the same ones that tune in every week to see Blueface and Chrisean beat the f*** out each other in front the world.
‘But thats OK? It’s entertainment? All yall can suck my d*** disrespectfully,’ he wrote.
Then Brown tried to divert attention by naming other celebrities who were accused of similar crimes to the one he pleaded guilty to in court.
‘Where are the cancel culture with these white artist that date underage women, beat the f*** out their wives, giving b****** AIDS,’ he began.
‘Oh. That’s right.. they are your buddies 😏. No more fake love from me.. Stay out my way or get ran over simple as that!
He concluded with, ‘None of you and I mean none of you n****s can f*** witt me.’
Next up, Brown added a long list of stars accused of domestic violence to his Instagram Stories, including Sean Penn, Mel Gibson, Nicolas Cage, Ozzy Osbourne, Tommy Lee, Slash, Charlie Sheen, Steven Seagal, Christian Slater and Josh Brolin, Tom Sizemore, the late James Caan, Vince Neil, and Mickey Rourke.

Below the belt: He also poked fun at 3LW singer Kiely Williams for her apparent lisp on her song No More (Baby I’Ma Do Right) — though she doesn’t have one in real life — and for supposedly being unemployed
He concluded with a video still showing UFC President Dana White drunkenly hitting his wife.
‘I got time today,’ Brown concluded.
Earlier, the singer had lashed out at Cheetah Girls and 3LW singer Kiely Williams after she criticized him on Twitter.
She previously wrote, ‘Let him come out with his own record — so genius, so captivating that it makes us all forget HE BEATS WOMEN. He can’t so he wont. So what does he do?’
Brown quoted her tweet and shared lyrics from her 3LW song No More (Baby I’Ma Do Right). I’m getting kinda tired of Ya broken PROMITHIS PROMITHIS.’
The stylized spelling referenced how many listeners heard her appear to lisp on that line. However, Williams, who does not appear to speak with a lisp in real life, explained in an interview with ET in 2021 that the reason she sounds as if she has a lisp on that line is due to a primitive precursor device to Auto-Tune, which helped correct her pitches, but also allegedly messed up her pronunciation.
Brown followed it up with some cruel text accusing Williams of being unemployed.
‘Obviously you are at a point in your life where either you are very broke or broken … THE FACT that you think you have to speak negatively about me makes u look so lame… YOUR LIFE AND CAREER MUST SUCK RIGHT NOS,’ he wrote. ‘Minding your business WOULDVE been best.. but I guess you don’t have a business or a real job that makes u financially stable. I feel more embarrassed for you and your actual maturity..’
The backlash against Brown has also engulfed his duet partner Chloe Bailey, after she teased their song How Does It Feel.
The outrage came immediately upon announcing the track as the second single on her upcoming debut album In Pieces, which will be released next month.
After teasing the track with Brown by sharing a photo of them sharing an intimate embrace on Thursday, fans of the singer, 24, unleashed their fury on social media as they begged her not to drop the track.
Many argued that collaborating with the Ayo hitmaker was a massive misstep in her career due to his long history of extreme violence against women, including his then-girlfriend Rihanna back in 2009.

In addition to giving his former partner a busted lip and painful black eye during a fight when she was 21, he most recently was accused of raping and drugging a woman aboard a yacht in 2020, which he has vehemently denied.
One Twitter user wrote on the short-form blogging platform: ‘Chloe bailey’s management has no idea who her target audience is and that’s why they make such poor decisions and have her all over the place.’
‘Chloe bailey making a song with Chris Brown in 2023, it’s like she’s afraid of success,’ another wrote.
A third fired: ‘Chloe Bailey makes it so hard to defend her girl WHY are you making music with an abuser.’
Some reflected on ‘what exactly are all these female artists from Ciara , to Kelly Rowland, Normani and now Chloe Bailey trying to prove in propping up or working with Chris Brown.’
Award-Winning journalist, Ernest Owens, wrote: ‘We’re failing Black women in music if they feel like they have to collaborate with a known abuser in order to chart.’
The conesus on social media is that it is ‘disgusting’ that people are ‘giving this abusive p.o.s [piece of sh** attention.’
A fan of the five-time Grammy nominee tweeted to Bailey that ‘there’s still time to delete this’ so her followers could ‘pretend’ they ‘didn’t’ see it.

The new song will be released February 24, several weeks before the release of her record.
Meanwhile, news of Chris’ new collaboration with Chloe comes after he posted an Instagram story with a love heart and prayer emoji to apparently congratulate Rihanna on her bombshell Super Bowl performance.
The pair famously dated over a decade ago, but their relationship hit rocks after it was revealed Brown assaulted her in 2009 and left her ‘spitting blood’.
He admitted to beating Rihanna ahead of her scheduled performance at that year’s Grammys and pleaded guilty to felony assault.
But despite their past, Chris has often shown public affection and support for Rihanna – who stole the halftime show in Arizona on Sunday night.
Chris posted a story on his social media – simply writing ‘Go girl’ with a red heart and prayer emoji.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that he may have used the red emoji to represent Rihanna’s stellar scarlet ensemble.
And Blueface entered the conversation on Friday afternoon posting to his Instagram Stories, acknowledging that he and Chris were in similar situations but that they were very much not the same.
Blueface then criticized Chris for trying to deflect blame for his actions and for not being accountable for what he did in the past.
‘I’m not even going to trip on you ‘cause the message you trying to send is way off. I get it, you know—she hit me, it’s funny, I hit her back, it’s f*ck Blueface. So, I totally get it. That be the most irritating thing ever. But, you gotta play the cards that you was dealt,’ the rapper said.
Blueface commented on how Chris seemed to be saying ‘But they did it too. Why aren’t you guys telling them anything.’
‘You on some, “You guys are going to give me the most time but they did it too. Like, judge, sentence them,”‘ he added. ‘We ain’t got nothing to do with that, bro. Handle your candle, deal with your situation how you deal with it.’
In closing, Blueface made a strong statement, saying that Chris ‘beat up the wrong b***h.’
