Chris Brown took to Instagram on Tuesday to address criticism of his latest album Brown after Pitchfork gave it a scathing 1.3/10 rating, calling the project a “real piece of s***” and labeling it “soulless” and “hit-chasing.”
In a fiery post, Brown told fans he’s ready to defend his music and his legacy, saying, “We kickin’ they ass! I’ma keep my foot on they neck and we ain’t stopping.” He made it clear that his focus remains on his supporters and his upcoming The R&B Tour with Usher, scheduled to kick off in June.
He also threw shade at Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, noting that she reportedly has his music blocked on Spotify, along with that of other artists who have allegedly “abused” her. Brown encouraged his critics to go listen to her instead, signaling he’s unconcerned with detractors and is doubling down on his fanbase.
The post highlights Chris Brown’s combative response to music criticism, reflecting both his confidence in his artistry and his determination to stay connected to his supporters amid negative reviews.
