Chris Brown hits back at Tinashe.
Tinashe recently made an appearance on Zach Sang Show, where she revealed that she never wanted to collaborate with Chris Brown and R. Kelly.
“You think I wanted [to collaborate with those artists]?” said Tinashe, about working with convicted s-x offender Kelly and controversial Chris Brown, who has a history of abuse. “I block out that R. Kelly song from my mind. I forget that it even exists,” she said about her collab 2015’s “Let’s Be Real Now” for Kelly’s The Buffet album. “That is so embarrassing. That is so unreal that I even have a song with R. Kelly.”
“We all wanted [‘Player’] to be this big moment — this big single. So I feel like in [RCA Label’s] mind, they were like ‘You need the support.’ And [Brown] was like their biggest artist that they had on rhythmic radio at the time,” said Tinashe about Chris Brown collab. “I was like, ‘Well, this is a pop song, so I really don’t feel like we should put Chris on it like that. I don’t like that. That doesn’t compute to me.'”
“There’s only so much that you can be like, ‘No, I’m not going to do this,’ because you want to be successful. You want to put your music out,” she added. “There was a part of me that was still excited or thankful or grateful or hopeful that, ‘Maybe this will work. I am collaborating with a very successful artist. I don’t know.'”
Now Chris Brown responded to the “333” singer through the Instagram comment section. “NAME 5 TINASHE songs or die…. [Eyes emoji] EVERYBODY DEAD [Skeleton emoji],” wrote Brown.

Chris Brown’s rapper friend Joyner Lucas comes in his support. “I’ma say this sh-t one time and I’m not gonna say it again… there will be no f–king Chris Brown slander tolerated, my ni–a,” Lucas said. “I’m not talking about the fans… I’m talking about you f–king celebrity weirdos that go on these podcasts and start popping sh-t at my ni–a for absolutely no f–king reason.”
“Ni–as making faces and sh-t. Ni–as tryna take shots, talking they little sh-t, saying whatever they say, trying to get a reaction. And then once a ni–a react to you, then you ni–as can go, ‘Oh look, see, he’s aggressive. Look, he did Rihanna.’ No, ni–a, we not doing that.”
