Jermaine Dupri recently spoke about how he feels regarding Chris Brown’s potential.
“He’s a star,” Dupri said in an interview with MissInfo. “I told people when he came out of jail, he’s going to be Tupac. He’s an R&B singer and a singer’s music is supposed to go farther than rap. And, it stretches over different boundaries. To me, he’s going to be more famous than Tupac. I mean, it is what it is. I just feel it. He’s a star, and I can’t front on it.”
Chris Brown performed at the BET Awards ceremony, which took place yesterday (June 30) in Los Angeles, California.
“When he performs, watch how people act about him,” Dupri said during the interview, which was taped before the ceremony.

What is this dude smoking?? Don’t get me wrong Chris Brown is a very talented dude and is a big star, but he ain’t tupac or ever would be bigger than tupac. People forget how much tupac had accomplish by the age of 25!!! And was a powerful and respected dude in the street. But we all know the street don’t play fair…. I am hoping dupri not saying that cuz chris brown just got out of jail.
get all the way the fuck out of here
Jermaine also thinks he is better than Dre, so not the the first time he has come out with this bullshit
Clearly this guy’s on some sort of drugs.
clearly you’re gay let me fuck you in the ass fuckboy
Jermaine Dupri also said back when Fab was on his 2nd album “he wont be around much longer” lol
think it was in a old source interview
Hahahahahahahahahah!
Thanks Jermaine, best one I’ll hear all week
I disagree with what Jermaine said but I guess it remains to be seen. I don’t think the following for Chris Brown is anywhere near on the level of 2Pac and the impact he had on culture. But you never know!
You must be a special kind of stupid. JD Clearly said he’ll be more famous not that he was better then him in rapping.
Chris brown is already more famous. He has more top ten hits than Tupac and can rap, sing, and is talented in a vareity of areas.
He’s more famous not because of the music, but because he can’t stop getting in trouble. Also, he can’t rap.
Of course he would be…for all the reason reasons ^.^…beating up his girlfriend…fighting in clubs…going to jail for beating up civilians…do I dare go on?
He had to defend himself. It would be a pussy move to allow himself to be beaten up.
Defend himself from Rihanna? LOL idiot.
cocaine is a helluva drug
He’s said some stupid things in the past, but this one might be his crown jewel. Remember dark skinned Jermaine?
RING THE ALARM
..a dummy has just been sighted
Goin broke must’ve fucked up his head.
CB aint neva gonna be more famous than 2Pac.
fuck Pac don’t diss Chris Brown. Ross is more of a G than Tupac.
Jokes.
explain how you even compare the two, one is an RnB singer the other is a revolutionary who wanted to take a stand change the world and would dialogue on any topic, and put out to the world..few pop atist’s singers, and mc’s are built this way today.
Chris Brown is the GOAT.
Yeah, he’ll be famous for the wrong reasons.
I will defend Chris Brown because he does get a bad rap but he is far far far from ever being like the g.o.a.t. Pac. As far as J.D. goes I didnt know people still listened to this perverted child molesting clown.
fuck you nigga
I agree Chris Brown is underrated in his rapping skills and Overall talent, His albums have gotten better and better over the course. But even as fan of Chris Brown to say he’ll be more famous than to Pac is like saying I’ll be bigger than Santa Clause on Christmas eventually one day. Exactly its just stupid to say something like that.
Wow light skin Breezy spends time in the pen, gains 40 pounds and now he’s the second coming of Tupac.
Shut your excusing ass mouth up Dupri
I wish Jermaine Dupri could let me suck him off while Chris Brown fucks me in the ass. and Bow Wow can be under me suckin my dick thats how we do it in Columbus, OH real Bloods here fuck LA
Defend himself from Rihanna? LOL idiot.
Rihanna herself admitted she hit brown first.
She never said that. Either way, Chris is still in the wrong,
Brown is still getting more bitches than you though.
I doubt it since he beats them all like he does to Rihanna.
I really do not think he believe that himself
jermaine…what u smoking on???? you mean he will be better and just as famous as bobby brown. chris brown the new bobby brown…lol
Chris Brown is way bigger than Bobby Brown ever was.
sounds like he wants to fuck him
jermaine dupri is gay lol
Jermaine Dupri, Sit yo old as down! Ain’t that what your corny ass said about bow wow or whatever his new name is!
It always take someone to say something SO DAMN STUPID. Jermaine Dupri…..SIT YO ASS DOWN
If Pac was alive this midget wouldn’t dare say this.
Hhaha ,I can’t believe someone haven’t beaten this stupid ass over his 2pac comments. I saw 1 interview where he said that 2pac made thug life just to get money off it – “He was just the first rapper to notice that there is a mass of people out there calling themselves Thugs and he saw the opportunity to make money off that”.. Fuck Jermaine, midget ass mutfhafucka
let me fuck you in yo ass like a real Columbus, OH nigga
You know my nigga hitting that #SHERM FO REAL
Watch Tupac stans shit on this nigga in the comments section
