Chris Brown Rant: Singer 'Tired' of Criticism, Says Life is 'Hell'
Chris Brown is due to appear in a Los Angeles court Wednesday following claims of alleged probation violation. The singer recently vented his frustration on social networking site Instagram.
Brown, who was convicted in his 2009 felony assault case against Rihanna, has been involved in a number of violent incidents in recent years, which prosecutors are allegedly also using to demonstrate why they believe the singer's probation should be revoked. Recent incidents include a violent brawl involving Brown and singer Frank Ocean and a 2012 club fight again involving Brown and rapper Drake.
"I love ya'll but ya'll getting repetitive telling me to relax. no I'm not gonna relax. Im makin an album right now ... and ya'll tell me not to pay attention to it," Brown wrote in a statement posted on Instagram, according to TMZ.com

"How can I not when it's on my radio, TV, and everything else .. Im wise I can handle the hate but enough is enough, yo!!" he continued. "It bothers me but it's not my main focus! my music is ... and when I speak on it .. its because I want people to know how I feel!"
Brown, 23, and Rihanna, 24, have since moved passed the domestic assault incident, but he is still subject to ongoing criticism. Some fans strongly believe that relentless critics will never ease judgment, arguing that most simply want to see the Grammy-award winning singer's downfall.
"Im a human being and I honestly think I deserve respect Im sick of being accused ... Im tired yall Just don't understand Ive been going through this s--- since I was 19 years old...when am I gonna get a positive outcome out of anything I do?" Brown wrote.
"Im TIRED...just when everythnig seems to be going good some new s--- happens," he continued. "A day in my shoes is a day in hell, believe it or not!"
