A Mature Chris Brown Talks BET Breakdown, F.A.M.E., & Why He Won't Tour With Usher

 

Chris Brown was in New York City yesterday making his rounds where he stopped by BET's "106 & Park" 10-year anniversary and the Swatch event.  And he still found the time to do an interview with Hot 97.  We have highlights from the interview and the full video inside...

Chris Brown sat down for an interview with Angie Martinez over at Hot 97 yesterday where he came across very humble and mature.  Thanking the audience for making his single "Deuces" a hit record, Breezy seemed surprised by the song's success. 

When the issue of Usher came up, it was briefly met with dead silence.  He made the point to mention that he and Usher do not have any problems and their main reason for not touring together was that it wasn't the right time financially.  Their business managers/promoters could not come to an agreement.   

Though he says it was a business decision, it led to a deeper conversation about being abandoned by certain industry peers and associates, which clearly has Chris on emotional guard.  He made it clear that even though he is cordial to music industry people, he stays in his own lane with his crew.

He says his new tattoo which reads "FAME" is about "forgiving all my enemies" and being built up then torn down by the music industry.  You can hear the pain in his voice and tell he's been through a rough time but clearly seems to have learned from it.

He also talks about his BET "moment" saying as he stood on stage and thought about the words of "Man In The Mirror" he could not hold back the tears during his Michael Jackson tribute.

Here's the full interview here: 

We also hear he broke things off with Miss Dade County because she was more worried about getting pub for her rap career at Chris' expense than she was about him.

And here are some pics from Breezy's visit to "106 & Park" yesterday with his boys Bow Wow and Trey Songz:

He was surprised on stage by Bow Wow and Trey Songz.

And of course they wouldn't let him leave without hitting the dougie.
