After turning himself in at a Van Nuys, California jail for an alleged hit-and-run offense, R'n'B/hip-hop superstar Chris Brown
appeared to be turning over a new leaf so the media's attention could
be rightfully focused instead on his music and talent. But as he
revealed on Twitter recently, he's actually thinking of retiring from
music at the very young age of 24.
"Don't worry mainstream America. After this X album, it'll probably be
my last album," wrote Brown to all the haters, expressing his thoughts
about quitting after releasing his forthcoming sixth studio album "X"
on August 20. The apparent reason for his decision to turn his back on a
successful career was the feeling of being tortured by an unforgiving
public for his past mistakes.
"Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent. I'm tired of
being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over
it!" Brown said, referring of course to the infamous assault he
committed on then-girlfriend Rihanna
when they were still together back in 2009. Despite the apologies and
efforts to move on after the storm, so to speak, it has become a
permanent stigma on the young superstar.
Not only did it forever taint an otherwise stellar music career for
Breezy but the much-publicized incident kicked off a string of other
violent events and brushes with the law. Recently, even his own
neighbors wouldn't cut him any slack for the home murals he had painted
on the walls outside of his Hollywood Hills home which he eventually
took down to avoid the issue from escalating further.
