“I’m tired of this shit. Major stores are blackballing my CD. Not stockin the shelves and lying to customers,” he noted. “What the fuck do I gotta do…”
“Just was at Walmart in Wallingford CT, 844 north colony,” he added. “The[y] didn’t even have my album in the back … not on shelves, saw for myself.”
“Wow!!! But they had Alicia Keys album ready for release for this Tuesday comin … the manager told me that when there are new releases it’s mandatory to put em on the shelves … BUT NO SIGN OF #GRAFFITI. BS.”
He also said that he wouldn’t take back any of the statements.
“WTF… yeah i said it and I ain’t retracting shit. I’m not biting my tongue about shit else… the industry can kiss my ass.”
Now, Brown’s Twitter account has been canceled. Still, no word from the singer or his representatives about the cancellation.
Aside from this, major chains are saying his claims are unfounded.
“Not only am I carrying it, I am over carrying it, because it isn’t selling,” the head of purchasing at one large chain told Billboard recently. “I wish I could return it.”
Wal-Mart also issued a statement on the matter.
“We are surprised at the comments on Twitter, since all Wal-Mart stores carried the CD since its release, including the Wallingford store mentioned in the post. This store had in fact sold through their copies over the weekend. The majority of our stores are showing today they have copies on hand.”
