Chris Brown made a fool of himself, again. This time his actions were recorded. The entitled, pompous singer was supposed to be on Q94 WRVQ radio. He called the station as he was meant to promote an upcoming benefit concert. From the snippet of audio we hear that Brown lost his cool when discussion of his sales came up. The rant is edited only to remove dead air, the DJ clarifies on Twitter, so we do have the full context. This wasn’t the first time he’d gotten his panties in a bunch over sales. He ranted on Twitter over an imaginary Wal-Mart ban, he also begged his own fans to buy his records when they weren’t selling.
In the clip he is ranting and cursing at DJ Kash, for not playing his tracks. Kash justifies this by saying that his tracks aren’t in demand, asking Brown his current single’s chart position. Unable to answer, this conversation followed.
Brown is heard telling the DJ, “All I’m saying is that you don’t play my s**t. What number is it (my song) at? It don’t matter. Why am I even doing this interview? I ain’t doing this s**t.” Kash later explained he received a number of phone calls from officials at Brown’s Jive record label apologising for the star’s behaviour, “Shout out to every one at Jive for all of the apology phone calls I received for their artist acting like a diva. I’m pretty sure I won the award for quickest interview ever.”
Kash played the pre-recorded interview back to listeners, and explained his surprise when Brown began shouting at him for no reason. He said, “Chris Brown was going to come in today to do an interview to promote his [benefit concert for Haiti in Richmond, VA]… But before we could even get into the interview, homeboy starts yelling at me, wondering why we don’t play his records. And I said, Mr Chris Brown… you just don’t have any hits and that’s just the truth. You don’t have any hits right now.’ And… from there the whole interview just goes south.” [Contact Music]
