Two years post the abusive situation with his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, Chris Brown is ready to assume his position in the spotlight. It has been a slow and steady process rebuilding his reputation. Between the courts, the media, disappointed fans, and friends that had abandoned him, Chris Brown seemed to have everything stacked against him to end his career. Then came records like Deuces (an all star hit record, doing big #s on the charts), No BS, and Look at Me Now! The music (his talent) reminded the industry and the public of Chris Brown’s star power.
Today, March 10, He will be featured in Page Six Magazine–a NY Post publication. In the interview he discusses his album, those who have supported him, and moving forward from the events of his past. Our good friends at Concreteloop had this to report:
On staying positive, growing up & ending his apologies:
“People are always gonna talk. But I’m in a positive place. I consider myself a grown-ass man. And at the end of the day, if I walk around apologizing to everybody, I’m gonna look like a damn fool.â€
On people sticking by him after his mishap:
“A handful of people stuck by me,†Chris says, referring to fellow artists such as Pitbull and Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. “But when [most] people see certain things happen to somebody, they usually turn away. They don’t want to get involved with it because they don’t want their name attached to anything negative. Unknowingly, they kind of show their true colors when they do that. But you can’t blame people for how they want to be portrayed or if they don’t want to be associated with somebody who had a particular mishap.â€
On what he’s learned about being humble:
“People kind of get clouded, and then when they get up to the top, they kind of lose a bit of themselves and they’re not as humble. So knowing how it can be taken away and given back and taken away again, it kind of just taught me to be focused.â€
On his new album, F.A.M.E.:
“Fame is what everybody seeks. I get an adrenaline rush from it. But fame is basically love and hate all in one. Without bad there is no good, without good there is no bad. Everybody who dissed me now wants to say ‘Hey.’ They wanna get on the record. They wanna let me back in the door. The last two years, everybody dissed me. But my fans were so dedicated. The way I look at it is, you can’t walk around mad, because then you just prove everybody right that you’re an angry person. So ‘F.A.M.E.’ means ‘Forgiving All My Enemies,’ and also ‘Fans Are My Everything.’ I’m dedicating it to my fans.â€
