Chris Brown released his new album βBreezyβ on June 24, but it apparently didnβt get the support the R&B singer expected. The 24-track project boasted contributions from a roster of heavyweight guests such as Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, H.E.R., Jack Harlow and Tory Lanez.
Although the album debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200, the Grammy Award-winning artist took to Instagram to complain about the lack of coverage for βBreezyβ and says that media outlets only care about him when there are negative stories to cover.
βJuly 8th breezy deluxe album,β Brown wrote. βNot that it mattersβ¦SEEMS LIKE YALL ONLY INVEST IN THE NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT ME. CHRIS GETS IN TROUBLE (THE WHOLE WORLD IS ON it). Chris drops album [crickets].β
βIβm back on my gangsta shit…Itβs BRACKIN at all Times,” he added in a second post.
Chris Brown did an extensive promotional run before the release of “Breezy” but the album performed below its expectations.
βBreezyβ serves as a follow-up to his 2019 album βIndigo.β It peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart and was able to move 72,000 equivalent album units, which included roughly 5,000 pure album sales, making it his 12th Top 10 album in the country. Furthermore, it did notch a #1 on Apple Musicβs U.S. charts and Top 200 single on Spotifyβs U.S. chart. The album accumulated 87.36 million on-demand audio streams in the United States as well.
