Chris Brown Responds to 'Brown' Album Criticism, Suggests Listening to Zara Larsson Instead

Chris Brown is clapping back at critics of his Brown album. Breezy took to his Instagram Story on Tuesday (May 12), which saw him address those criticizing his new project, and he even took a swipe at pop star Zara Larsson.

“Team Breezy, I know people want me to get on here and, you know, say some sad s–t, but f–k that. We kickin’ they a–, God damn it! We ain’t letting up,” he promised. “I’ma keep my foot on they neck and we ain’t stopping. You heard me? We doing this motherf–ker. Tour, more s–t to come. I’m not gon’ tell you what’s more to come, but it’s coming, at the end of the day.”

Some of the louder critiques came from Pitchfork’s review of Brown , in which staff writer Alphonse Pierre trashed the LP, calling the album a “real piece of s–t.”

“I don’t give a f–k what these n—as is talkin’ about. I know exactly who my fans is and I know exactly who hearing this album,” he continued. “If you not my fan, I don’t want you to listen to my s–t. Go listen to motherf–king Zara Larsson or somebody. F–k them.”

Billboard has reached out to Larsson’s reps for comment.

Brown’s shot at Larsson didn’t come out of nowhere, as she previously told Cosmopolitan that you wouldn’t find a CB song on any of her playlists. “There’s so many artists I have blocked on Spotify, and all of them are, like, abusers,” the “Midnight Sun” singer said in February. “You certainly wouldn’t find a Chris Brown song. Bye!”

Breezy’s 12th studio album arrived May 8. He’s slated to hit the road with Usher for  the R&B Tour , which starts in Denver on June 26.
