Chris Brown took to Twitter to say he plans to quit music after the release of his upcoming album, X.
In one of his tweets, the R&B singer/rapper said he’s “tired of being famous for a mistake,” which is a reference to when he assaulted Rihanna at age 18. Yesterday (August 6) he tweeted, “Don’t worry mainstream America. After this X album, it’ll probably be my last album.” And in a tweet that followed seven minutes after, Breezy continued, “Being famous is amazing when it’s for ur music and talent. I’m tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I’m cool & over it!”
See Chris Brown’s most revealing tweets on the matter below:
Brown has faced criticism ever since his assault against then-girlfriend Rihanna that preceded the 2009 Grammys. As of late, his tweets have contained numerous inspirational messages, including, “Aspire to be great and the person you wanna be” and “Don’t conform because [your] worth is more than any money or status. We live. We die.”
In addition to the Rihanna case, Chris Brown has been in several other physical and verbal altercations over the last several few years, including a 2012 bar fight with fellow musician Drake, a January scuffle with Frank Ocean and a June incident in Anaheim, California where the singer is being sued for battery over an alleged assault at a nightclub.
Brown’s sixth studio album, X is due out on August 20. Many rappers and singers have made reference to retiring without actually doing it. Jay Z and Lil Wayne are two still putting out work long after threatening to end their careers.

this is great news! too bad he has no other skills or talents so once his bank account gets low or he catches another case he gonna be back to singing and dancing
Yeah, finally this bunch of shit wrack ass singer/”rapper” is goin’ to retire … thank’s God, now it can’t take long for lil wayne and rick ross to do the same.
HipHop on it’s way back to the roots!
don’t fall for it jay said it mariah said it 50 said it etc

nobody does fux with chris clown. so there won’t be anything or anybody he could rely on
how do you know nobody fux with chris brown? name names
I am a fag
truer words never said. pencil dick nigga.
Just wondering why everybody is hating on Chris.
He gained more QUALIFIED success then any of those other clowns.
This lyrics deep a.f.
WE ARE LOSING THE EQUAL OF LATE TUPAC, DON’T YOU FAGS REALIZE THAT?
Ha-HAaa We aint losing shit
equal of tupac? chris brown?????? holy shit
nigga take your nose outta breezys untalented azz
this is the lamest move to make hype
Man this dude is weak for this. He gonna let people and media break his spirit even doing something he loves. That’s like when and if people criticize sports players performance then they should quit. Dude should keep doing what he loves, but I understand if hes tired of it just overall making music. Don’t quit cause or people and media tho.
So what u gonna do for the rest of your life? Your spending habits are going to bring you back to music before you finish maturing. Keep buying cars and crap, and you won’t have anything to live on when you’re older.
Sounds like he’s been done with music for quite some time now.
Also,it’s not just what you did to Rihanna that makes you a cunt, it’s almost everything you do… You’re just a cunt.
thank god, just hope he means it
Co-sign

I just want to say this sucks I like chris browns music and he had a ton potential its the fucking white america media, It’s because they don’t want a young black to make it.. and before you guys open your mouths and say he hit Rihanna, I remember Tommy lee beat up on pam and that got swept under the rug and forgotten pretty quickly, Alot of ppl make mistakes and he did it at a young age you can forgive but you don’t have to forget give the guy a break and move RIhanna’s the Fucking Victim and she got over it so let it go we’re about to lose a good young artist here
thing is he keeps making mistakes. he cant stay out of the news. hes always getting in fights or throwing bottles in the club, getting in car accidents and leaving the scene, throwing chairs through windows and storming out of interviews
hes a fucking child
100% agreed I think he needs to surround himself with more direct family and less yes man and so called homies
you commited a crime big criminal very crazy chris brown and you are a very fake person. very crazy chris brown you belong to jail and you should sleep in the jail.
Chris Brown you will rot in jail like tomatoes for what you have done to the past!

DaVinchee
Bye Nigga
Master P retired 14 years ago and still at it.
Good ass news.
hes has enough albums in his catalogue already at that young of an age… dude can retire and be good for the rest of his life
FUCK THIS ASS HOLE HOPE HE GONE FOR GOOD FUCKN MONKEY.
Chris Brown knows he can’t beat YMCMB because he beats up a celebrity and his music sucks. The Drake vs Chris Brown game is over and Drake won.
How is this Hip-Hop news???
Going to guarantee that this douche will come back “if” he does retire. Rappers that are around 30/40 and over always end up coming back after they “retire”, this dude is like 25. Either that or he’s just trying to drum up sales for this next album, his last one bombed, there were articles about him yelling at his twitter followers, telling them that he would unfollow them if they didn’t post pics of them with his album. Dude is a joke.
CB does NOTHING any other celeb does but he seems to get crucified more than anybody. The White Media has been crucifying him since 2009 while they just make light of Bieber,Sheen,Miley and Bynes problems.
America hates woman beaters.
Triple K
That’s the realest post I’ve seen on this shit, yo foreal
Not sure how he’s ‘over it’ when he’s actively bitching about it.
LMAO I’m sure he’ll release a mixtape right after that X album
do u promise????
I don’t believe it for one minute. But if he makes good on this, great. His music wasn’t that good to begin with.
No way he’ll retire, but if he does I won’t be complaining. Dude honestly makes some garbage music.
I think Chris Brown is very talented and people just can’t let the past go. He can’t change what he did it’s done. move the F#@%& on already. Shit RiRi forgave him so who are you to keep holding it against him. That’s ashame if he does retire…He shouldn’t allow his self to be defeted like that and his managers an idot if he lets that happen.
shut up bitch
Its him who can’t let the past go. He’s the one still emotional and bitching about it. This guy is more emotional than a woman. He needs to pull his skirt up.
What if you worked your ass off in a career you dreamed of having as a child, then you steal a candy bar… and your career damn near ends. 4 years pass and the store forgave you, you moved on, and your work has been some of the best in years. Yet public cant let it go to the point it hinders all your hard work. How would you feel? I dont really bump CB’s music but its sad when people crush someones dreams and like to see people beat to down. You blow up and see how much of your past affects you when your in the eye of the world. People still human.
but why does he keep being an asshole and doing stupid shit?
Those tweets will be deleted soon.
I’m convinced this dude is a closet fag.
Peace out Chris!! This is by far the best decision that you have ever made!!

Its his fault. He saturated the market being on everybody’s tracks…..and hitting Rihanna. Im not a big CB fan anymore
Yeah right, I never take any of these artist serious when they say so and so is my last album. It never is. They never retire when they will. Don’t believe it. He’ll probably release 10 more weed plates before it’s all said and done.
woman beaters exist for a reason..u got to many hoe bitches and hoe niggas
What a liar.
Both Chris Brown and Justin Bieber need to fucking fall the fuck off the face of the Earth. I am so sick of these tyke, dyke-looking assholes making excuses, breaking the law, and shitting on people without getting any real consequences. I am so fed of the world’s double standards on a lot of bullshit and them treating these ungrateful, self-absorbed celebs like undeserved Goddesses. These queers are gayer than Frank Ocean, the one whose actually straighter than both of them, combined.
Hopefully, this will be a step in the right direction for both Chris Brown and music. He needs to get his life in order. Besides, he hasn’t been decent since 2008 anyway, and I was never a big fan of his music. Now we just need Bieber, Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Psy, and all the other motherfuckers and one-hit wonders to follow suit. The market is over-saturated with BS daily and more and more people are seemingly already becoming sick of it. Just look at the album sales for instance. Chris Brown, your time has already BEEN u, but your just dragging along and realizing this in REAL LATE fashion. Case rested.
I meant to say “Chris Brown, your time has already BEEN up, but you just dragging along and realizing this in REAL LATE fashion. Case rested.”. 😛
Shut your Ike turner wannabe ass up! You, just like the rest of the retiree’s will be dropping music soon. I can’t stand this retirement shit from you insecure attention seeking ass musicians.
Awesome.
Good..Fuck em.I hope u jump off a bridge ol wife beatin ass nigga.Any dude that buys a chris brown album is suspect.And if ur a woman,then well…Ur just dumb.
ONE mistake? nigga you fuckin went off on a valet over a motherfuckin 10$ bill! get the fuck outta here
Bro, he gave the guy $100 before and when he came back the valet guy asked for more money.. that’s bullshit.
good it’s enough with your stupid style of R&B.
