Chris Brown has taken to social media to express his frustration after being apparently kicked off a team in the NBA All-Star Game. The 34-year-old musician shared the news on Friday, revealing that he had initially been invited to play in the prestigious game and even posted screenshots of an email that seemed to confirm his participation.
In a candid post, Chris shared the disappointment of having his invitation rescinded. He disclosed, “I was asked by the NBA to play in the All-Star Game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do it because of their sponsors like RUFFLES. At this point, I’m sick of people bothering me, and I’m tired of living in the f-cking past.”
The decision appears to be linked to Chris Brown’s tumultuous past, which includes legal troubles such as the assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna and a restraining order from ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran. While not explicitly stated, the implication is that these incidents played a role in the NBA’s decision.
Chris, who has previously suggested that he’s been marginalized in Hollywood for what he believes are racist reasons, continued to voice his frustration. “I POSTED THE EMAILS SO Y’ALL COULD SEE. The NBA still was tryna get me to come and sit court side… NOT F-CKING HAPPENING,” he declared emphatically.
Asserting his principles, Chris Brown concluded with a bold statement: “I ONLY GO WHERE I’M APPRECIATED.” This echoes his previous response to accusations of antisemitism, highlighting his commitment to places and spaces where he feels valued and respected.
This recent incident adds to the narrative of Chris Brown navigating a complex relationship with the entertainment industry, where his past actions continue to have repercussions on his career opportunities. As he speaks out against what he perceives as unjust treatment, the musician remains steadfast in his resolve to be recognized and appreciated for his talents.
