A lot has happened between Chris Brown and Kevin McCall since the success of C-Breezy’s “Deuces” single, which popped off in 2010.
In the public arena, McCall took to Twitter in March to ask for a business meeting with Brown and request off his label, but things went sour.
McCall appears on “Hollywood Unlocked” to share his side of the story and how he ended up in a bad deal with Chris Brown Entertainment. He admits he “took the business too personal,” but doesn’t let the Virginia singer off the hook.
“He got on that bullshit, yeah, yeah,” he sings, referencing “No Bullshit.” “To make the long story short, paperwork wasn’t legit and I kinda blame that on myself. I kinda have to change the narration that I’ve been giving. It’s not a ‘woe is me’ story. I signed it, but at the same time, it would be like me bringing my partner in here and saying, ‘Look, you trust me, right? Sign this.’ That’s kinda what happened.”
The Los Angeles singer-songwriter is asked about Brown’s alleged gang ties. McCall isn’t amused by anyone glorifying gangs when he has been confronted with the reality of street violence without having a choice in the matter.
“You gotta pay to play. I guess they’re paying to do something,” he says of rappers like Breezy, who claims he’s affiliated with the Bloods. “When you get homeboys that get shot and you get guns put on you this week and you get daughters, two daughters, the shit ain’t cute. It’s stupid.”
Watch Kevin McCall’s interview below:
I f*cks with Kevin……Hope he gets his career together. Seems like he deserves it.
seen like is career is Talking about chris Brown. Why can’t he let it go mand move on.
Seems he can’t move on because of the contract.
I signed it, but at the same time, it would be like me bringing my partner in here and saying, ‘Look, you trust me, right? Sign this.’ That’s kinda what happened.”
Seems like CB fucked him over and is still doing so. He’s been trying to leave the label for yrs. It really is fucked up situation.
Lol, who even knew Kevin existed before Chris Brown. smh
Kevin McCall sounds like an intelligent guy so he can’t totally blame Chris Brown for his issues, he had the contract and should have read it before he signed it. If he wants out of the contract hire a lawyer so you can buy out of it or put out the music that you agreed to do and move on. The whining is becoming old. Kevin you got talent, prove it and stop complaining.
This man has me on a tangent and not a good one. I’ve heard the name Kevin McCall, so I decided to take a sec to see what he’s about. For a nanosecond, I was really into this guy and the interview. Then, a few minutes in, he made the dumb, “I’m Native American” joke/comment. Joking or even claiming to be something other than African-American is not cute, smart, or funny. After all, every African-American is mixed with some ethnicity from outside of Africa, e.g., Native American, Hispanic, European, etc. That is the difference between African-Americans and Africans. The latter have purer (less mixed) blood. Putting that aside, then, instead of acknowledging the brothers who have been senselessly and fatally shot by cops, this man says that shootings occur where he’s from every day (like black men getting shot by cops is no big deal). He missed the whole point! The subject was black men being senselessly killed by COPS–not black men getting shot generally. Then, as soon as I got past THAT dumb statement, he did something even dumber: he negatively commented on Karrueche’s body. Body-shaming. Not only is that low, it is totally insulting and disrespectful to Karrechue and also to Chris because essentially the man is saying that Chris spent all those years with someone who looks like a 12-year old boy. Whoever his woman is might look like an elephant to some people, but most artists, even the raunchiest of rappers, are respectful and mature enough not to go on a radio show and say something stupid like that about a woman’s appearance. Although this man is apparently a very talented individual who has made some major marks in music, I see how he got screwed by Chris. He is apparently dumb as hell!
