Twitter Files: Chris Brown Goes On Spiel About Being Blackballed

Posted on December 14th, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

Categories: Chris Brown, News, out of pocket, Rihanna, SMH

Breezy is pissed at Wal-mart for blackballing his CD.

Pop the top and peep him cussing on twitter and to hear an interview that went completely wrong when the DJs started asking about Rihanna.

Were those DJs out of pocket?

  • Re

    Damn…well, maybe coming out with an album months after the incident was too soon for people.

  • BritChick

    Bottom line is Mr. Chris Brown is once a black man makes a mistake he is taken down more than a few notches…case in point Tiger Woods…than his white counterparts.

    Thing is many black folks dont realise we have to work twice as hard to stay afloat than a white person and the minute we mess up…we are out the door.

    Personally, I ain’t complaining nothing wrong with living by high standards and exceeding expectations, the problem is maintaining those expectations which it seems both you and Tiger Woods could not deal with.

    Wow…. lol…

  • Smoovee Sayz

    (smacks forehead)…
    “dammit y didnt anyone remind me to tell Chris his new album is next to Ike Turners greatest hits…smdh”
    No wonder y he didnt find it;(

  • t5000

    the whole thing has really hurt both of them. i think they both should have waited to put out albums.

  • MizASterling

    I swear, all these “artists” do is cry.

    Neva should’ve gave y’all N*&%^&’s Twitter.

  • MizASterling

    And what the HELL is he doing in Walmart?

    I mean, seriously, you’re just going to random discount stores and checking to see if they have your album in Store?

    SMH.

    Clearly you have too much time on your hands.

    Seeing as how we aren’t appreciatin’ you enough,
    why don’t you get a JOB or somethin’….?

  • DEALIA

    @BritChick
    Your comment is so true. He needs to take a page from Tiger’s book and hang tight,lay low for a while . Complete his sentence and DV Classes.He can still do his fan tour to keep his music rolling.Let his Music speak for itself.No one can take Tiger’s acheivements & talent away from him,they can only hope that he faulters but i’m sure Tiger’s work ethic and determination won’t let those fools have the last laugh. Chris Brown can do the same.

  • K. Bernard

    Ok it happend can we move on to something else! Let it go!

  • lattho

    I bought his cd from Best Buy. I actually like it. The one song that kindda makes you go “umm?” is that song called Pass Out. I don’t really get that one.

  • http://www.mountainhighgraphix.com/souljagir.html Souljagir

    Nope that’s wrong, I bet half the manager’s or other men with in the industry and those wo ridicule him are just as guilty of doing some immoral in their life! I would bet that even though he’s complied to the industry and court orders/standards that it’s not enough because of whack bamma’s like those who comment negatively, leave that man alone just because you don’t like what he did doesn’t mean you have to take anything else away from him!

  • as seen on t.v.

    I agree with t5000…I think it was too soon for both of them to be putting out albums and obviously the buying public is letting them know that…

  • Miss Lisa

    chris brown album was really solid, not earth shattering but solid…. folks just needs to seperate the man from the music, yes and I also bought mine at best buy.

  • Honey (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS…LOL)

    I found it and bought it. Go Chris!!!

  • itsalwaysunnyinATL

    i can definitely understand not wanting to talk about the rihanna situation and i’m sure the dj’s had instructions on what was allowed BUT the album sales…not a CB hater but its too soon, i have the album and think its ok but i’m not one of the people that he needed to win back/over because its about the music for me. people keep saying its been a year – well it hasn’t. that went down 2/09 10 months ago. some people either haven’t forgiven him or will never support him again and only time will tell. what i can say is that his twitter rant only reinforces to the detractors that he is not a changed man, is not remorseful and he just a spoiled brat. i hate that for him because i want him to get himself back on track unfortunately he seems to be getting in his own way.

  • yika

    Love,love, love graffiti- don’t judge it before you actually hear it.

  • TeamBreezy

    No worries, Chris. What’s for your is yours.

    Forgiveness is really for the other person, more than for yourself. As long as people are trying to hold you back, got their hands around your blessings, THEY can’t move either . . .

    With each action there are consequences. Never knew the consequences would stretch this far. Double standards are a fact of life, and those hating you are hypocrites.

    Do you Chris. If folk want to buy your CDs they will go where they are sold. SIMPLE.

    You’re right, the industry does bite. Full of hypocrites. But if you never sell another CD, you are still full of your talent and will be blessed nonetheless.

    DO YOU CHRIS. ENOUGH TIME SPENT ON THE HATERS.

    AN EYE FOR AN EYE AND TOOTH FOR A TOOTH WILL LEAVE YOU BLIND AND TOOTHLESS IS ALL . . .

    KEEP IT MOVING, CHRIS. TRUE PLAYERS KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. WALMART CAN’T HURT YOU.

    THEY GOT THEIR OWN PROBLEMS . . .

    KEEP IT POSITIVE. STAY IN THE LIGHT. LET THE RIHANNA DAYS BE THE DARK DAYS AS YOU KEEP ON PUSHING TOWARDS THE LIGHT, CHRIS.

    FORGET OLD BITTER PEOPLE WITH HARDENED HEARTS WHO REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU OR YOUR SITUATION.

    PRETTY THEY GONNA BE THRU WITH RIHANNA TOO.

    KEEP IT POSITIVE. KEEP IT MOVING. YOU’RE NOT FOR EVERYBODY AND EVERYBODY AIN’T FOR YOU . . .

    IT’S LIFE . . . LOVE YA BREEZY . . .

  • !!!!!

    WHATEVER CHRIS.

  • Holla

    You payin’ the other half of the price LOL… i mean what did you expect? To go platinum? FOOL!

  • Blaque

    Dang, I would be msd as hell, too. One issue too many interviews from Chris and Rihanna waaayyy after the incident. Some people are not stupid…the interviews were for cd sells, guess it backfired on both of them….but hands down Chris cd will get brought over Rihanna’s.

  • tb

    I hope he uses some of that money and go to college. Ppl would rather accept a woman beating a man than a man beating a woman. It doesn’t matter of the chick has no talent and is a liar, all that matter is she is a woman.

  • Ms Vee

    You people need to leave the young man alone.
    He made a mistake, he is not the 1st or the last that this has happened to. I am sure the main people who are being so hard on him have done somethings that they are not proud off.
    So back off him. Let him earn his living.
    Love you Chris, my prayers are with you.

    Wal-Mart is the largest music retailer in the world. They didn’t even have any promo on his album. Yeah he did wrong, and he admitted his faults. Let’s move on and get back to the music. The album is dope, and I’m hard on music. He has every right to be pissed. He didn’t hang up on the radio dj’s, his publicist came on and hung up the phone. If you listen, he was about to answer the question.

  • MelloYello

    It was too soon for him to come out with an album IMO, He needs to mature alot more and he shouldve took time out to do some reflecting and stop worrying about keeping his fame and money!

    Get Over It, Ugh.

  • igy

    that’s what happens…he should of expected that, too bad so sad.

  • http://www.MediaBrunch.com Javonni Brustow

    You know what? All those who said why was he in Wal-Mart? A) He doesn’t pull the “Hollywood” card and acts pretty normal…2) This is his life. he’s an artist, he’s young and he KNOWS that this whole incident can make or break him and potentially have him washed up and forgotten about so he panicked and wanted proof of his album being blackballed. It happens. This is his life and he is trying his best to keep his career afloat. Had it been any of the rest of us we can’t say what we would or would not do.

  • Lean (Breaking the Monotony)

    I’D be made too if I were Chris!!! Like he said “WTF I GOTTA DO”…I mean damn! He apologized its over! “Forgive and Forget”…thats his PERSONAL life this is his career and it isnt fair that 1 effects another! We could all be working with men who beat their wifes or GF’S EVERYDAY and treat them great not even knowing! Its just so messed up….however I DO think he should have waiting longer to put out his album!

  • ninal

    those djs were out of pocket got dam the man said he tryin to move on from that what part they didnt understand

  • KeepNit2Real

    I’ma buy the nicca cd anyway.

  • I’m Just Me: Keeping It Real Since: 1983

    I am mad the DJ said it like that. But Chris was about to answer until his lawyer came on. Or whoever she was.

    I didn’t like the twitter rant. I like him but kind of made me feel a little like get over yourself.

  • darealwifey

    His temper is what got him into trouble in the first place. If he can’t control himself in this situation, he is proving that he has a long way to go. You can’t be popping off like this. Rihanna’s album ain’t selling either. Is it because she’s blackballed, too? Has he considered that his fans might not be over the incident? The truth is that if one store doesn’t have something, you can usually go to another store to get it.

    This boy needs help because he is ready to fall off the deep end. He is his own worse enemy.

    Co-sign. Nobody has really gotten mad with R Kelly for f*cking and pee-ing on that baby girl. Doug Banks called himself boycotting him at first and ended up APOLOGIZING to him on the air. WTF? I guess the difference is we know and like Rihanna right? Forget that. Separate the man from the music. And she DID throw him under the bus. She tries to act so victimized but everyone knows she was abusive to him throughout the relationship (not that that justifies what HE did-it just doesn’t make her as much of a victim to me). AND she took him back and refused to talk about the situation…until time for her album to drop. She’s no angel…she’s calculated as hell. TEAM CHRIS ALL THE WAY.

NO YOUNG BLOOD. sit the fk down and realize u have made one of the biggest and greatest mistakes of your whole life and CAREER…now MAN THE FK UP AND DEAL WITH THE CONSQEUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS OR PPL ARE STILL GOIN TO ASSOCIATE YOUR FOULPLAY AND TALK with why and HOOW Rihanna got beat up by you silly fool do you not realize how stupid and childish ur makin yourself look…as if you have LEARNED NOTHING…WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR GRATTITUDE…U NEED A CERTIFIED AZZ SPANKIN…MOMMA CHRIS WHERE U AT…GET UR DAMN SON. SMDH

  • nee

    It wasnt too soon for his cd.His fans want the cd.Some stores just dont want to to put it out.If it wasnt selling good that would be one thing but the fact that they wont put it out is whats making it not sale.Wheather u like chris or not people need to remember that it is illeagl, what they r tryna do to his cds.Everyone does not have a computer so dont say they could get it offline because some cant.The point is that if u dont want to sale his cd then there alot of other cd u shouldnt sell.And if people really thought his career was over they would just put the cd out and let the sales speak for themselves.And some just want the hard copy.As for the interveiw if u really listen u will hear a female that say alright guys and actully hung up the phone(prob his manager)

    P.s the album is amazing

  • ninaprb

    I’m going to buy the ni99a cd! He made a mistake and he dealing with the consequences but that shouldn’t take away from his career…nobody is blackballing rhianna punk azz cd…Chris you should put your faith and trust in GOD! God will never turn his back on you! Don’t let Hollywood steer you in the wrong direction…

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh….

    I’d be mad too if them nucca’s were getting paid to push my product and wasn’t doing it. I would have torn that store apart.

  • Shay

    @nee

    It’s not rare for Walmart to block certain artists. His people should have warned and prepared him for that. It’s also not illegal. Walmart can pick and chose what they want to sell and they do it regularly. If his fans want his CD there are other stores they can get it from. They don’t have to download it they can find a store that has it. Chris Browns sales aren’t going to be based on Walmart. If it’s not selling maybe it’s just not selling.

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh….

    That’s what real hustlers do, get out on the corner and make sure the product is moving.

  • flawda

    Dude sounds like a spoiled baby with a sense of entitlement.Do you ever think maybe these large cooperation don’t wan’t to be associated with your woman beating ass, if Tiger can lose millions for infidelity what makes you think you’re above that. I don’t feel sorry for dude, he doesn’t seem humble at all, he still come off like a spoiled brat.

  • Honey (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS…LOL)

    @KeepNit2Real

    You are probably getting on her nerves. I am doing great. i am hanging in there. Or at least trying for a Monday morning.

  • Shay

    As far as his lively hood. He’s in a profession where is personality is a major factor on how well he does in the industry. A lot of people don’t care for him because of what happened. That’s their choice. If you have chosen to overlook what happened that doesn’t make you better than anyone else it just makes you someone that overlooks something like this. If that’s the case then YOU buy his CDs where they’re available and let Walmart decide what they will and won’t do with their business. All Chris had to do was have his people put a list of stores that are carrying his CD on his website. He could have tweeted what stores his followers should go to. Instead he goes on his twitter with a rant that makes him look childish and probably turned a few more people off.

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh….

    If Walmart is part of his distribution deals they get paid to move his products. They can’t opt out on certain artists.

  • Fashionized Diva

    aww…poor Chris…. i got his back, and his Cd supportive 100 percent

  • smartee

    Everyone who keeps on saying that people can’t buy his CD because of this incident is very immature and dwells on stupid sh**! What the hell does him being a singer and performer has to do with that situation? That was supposed to be no ones business. He actually made a ONE TIME mistake. It’s funny how people can’t take into consideration that he was never a violent person before. I could understand if he’d been arrested quite a few times in the past for doing it. Obviously, he just got overheated and reacted. I would really like to see everyone on here who’s bashing him, have their business put out and judged.

    Anyway, he has every right to be mad! I would be mad too! For example, how would you like it if you had a class and turned in your work but the teacher didn’t grade it and decided to fail you? People have too much time on their hands worrying about him failing. Worry about your own messy lives. I do think that those interviews and apologies screwed him up. Once it happened, he should have released a statement saying that

    “no one can judge the situation, because he/she wasn’t there, but things got out of control between the both of us, and both of us have need some time to think about what state our relationship is in. The way that I reacted due to the emotion showed by her, was not right and I am accepting full responsibility.”

    Then, he should’ve flown to a hotel resort by himself, and had it reported, so it showed that he was removing himself from a terrible situation.

  • I’mThinking….

    I think this shows his lack of maturity and how clueless he and some of you all are. Did anyone stop to think maybe Walmart was upholding their “family values” image?? They won’t even sell cd’s with profanity in them so what makes you all think they’ll be quick to stock their shelves with an artist who pleaded guilty to beating his girlfriend. Last time I checked, no one over the age of 21 is really checking for his music so why would walmart put his cd on the shelf to sell to kids? just a thought.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    @ This some Shhh…..

    They can and often opt out on certain artists. The only way to know if Walmart was part of a distribution deal is if Chris’s company comes out and says that they paid for shelf space in Walmart. Or you see Chris Brown featured prominantly on their website and commercials. Has Chris’s record lable claimed that?

  • Dr. Hayden Drake

    I like Chris Brown, I previewed the CD And I only liked two songs, so I didn’t buy it. He should have just made good music instead of making songs about this situation and filling the albulm with it. He had his chance to solidify him,self as an artist with this CD. He didn’t he got caught up in defending himself and apologizing,(which he should have just kept as public statements and let his music continue to grow out side of the controversy.

    Any way.

    I am not a Ri Ri fan… but her album is actually good. copped it.

    SMDH….Ya’ll missing out on a good album just cause you want to be PETTY! SMDH!

    Plus I tell my daughter If her a man ever hits her. She had to understand that the relationship is over. I know plenty of women that got great apologies that are depressed, in jail or dead now, because of being domestic violence.

    I told/tell her that if it ever happens just call daddy, and I will be glad to go to jail for destroying the fool that had the nerve enough to put his hands on my baby girl…. thats a forever statement for as long as I live.

    Any way.

  • Somali Ninga

    nice pic of chris ;)

  • TooGoode

    I agree with Chris. Enough is Enough!!!! Everyone has a limit and he has reached his. I am still a huge fan, always will be. I have every Chris Brown cd. I brought 3 Graffiti cds. Hold your head Chris this can’t last 4ever. Every1 gets a day!

  • wow

    Listen, no one thinks what he did was okay – but we support people that have straight up MERKED people. We make them go PLATINUM. This dude made a horrible mistake and if you don’t like it then you shouldn’t buy his album, but to not give those who want to support him a chance to do so is just wrong. It is not a stores responsibility to decide what album I buy. If I want to buy Graffiti I should be able to walk into ANY store (walmart, or wherever) and get it. This is bull shit. I feel bad for dude.

  • JSUDIVA95

    How bout just leave CB alone..people actin like they live in glass houses..tired of the debacle with CB..a sin is a sin no matter how small or big..the boy made a mistake..RiRi ain’t all that innocent as people want to believe..just let him do him..every one that keeps on bashing him.. I’m sure ya’ll past ain’t crystal clear dayum..give it a rest..I’mma still pump CB cuz I like his music..and I’m not God he’s the only judge in juror in the end

    ====================================
    @smartee

    I don’t see too many people saying people shouldn’t buy his CD. I see people saying why should people like you be surprised that a store has decided not to sell his CD. Why should you care that someone has decided not to buy his CD? Do you plan on borrowing it from them? That’s their choice to do with their money and walmart to do with their business what they please. Just like it’s your choice to continue to support Chris after what happened. Chris is in a profession where things like what happened with Rhianna will be factored on whether or not some people buy his CD. That’s just reality. It’s better that Chris grows up and learns it now because his people should have prepared him for this.

    Also we should all hope that this was a one time occurence and there won’t be any history of abuse by his hands in the future. But being arrested or not doesn’t prove that he hasn’t done it before. Many women chose not to report abuse. I hope that Chris learns a lesson from this and doesn’t have any issues in the future.

  • tmj

    @I’m Thinking…what “family values” do Wal-Mart have…they have been accused of unfair labor laws for making staff work overtime w/o proper pay for it. They discourage their employees from organizing as a union to fight some of their unethical practices (Read the book “Nickled & Dimed”). If you saw Michael Moore’s “Sicko”, Wal-Mart takes out life insurance policies on their employees so that they get paid in case of an employee’s unexpected death and this money is not shared with the employee’s family members. “Family values” is a part of the image they sell to the public.

    Mind you, it is not all Wal-Marts are doing this…it is certain store managers who have made the personal decision to not stock the album. This did not come officially from corporate headquarters.

  • TestingTesting123

    Some people seem to forget they are talking about a 20 year old. He’s done extremely well and understands the business side of things. For some reason people are looking up to him, although he is way younger than they are.

  • tmj

    This is just a new ni**a rule that they have created for Chris. The media has made this a bigger issue due to Chris and Rih’s crossover appeal. If this situation went down between Amerie and Jaheim (fictional couple) this situation would not have been covered on E! or Entertainment Weekly.

    I always felt Chris had to deal with his court obligations because he was WRONG for what he did and he is…he received a extremely favorable probation report. His music is separate from his personal life. I ask the question: was this same boycott given when Tupac released “All Eyez on Me” after his sexual assault on a woman conviction.

  • duchessny

    People should learn to be proactive rather inactive. Wal Mart is a business and if you patronize such business and seek certain merchandise which may be unavailable, speak to a manager about acquiring such merchandise. If they refuse or offer an unacceptable response, patronize another business that may carry what you seek. Capitalism is alive and well in America. Attack Wal Mart’s bottom line if you care so much about Chris Brown’s professional career.

  • April

    Not surprised. Didn’t Walmart have that baby doll with the monkey and the banana’s? Anything to keep black down…

    i blame his whole PR team for this mess. chris needs to fire every single one of them. he’s paying them to uphold his image not ruin it. if i was on his pr i woulda never allowed this negro to get a twitter account. twitter is the DEVIL!!! they shoulda known from the beginning that not store is gonna distribute his cd and got a list of the stores that do like best buy and target.

  • ———-> USE THIS

    PARENTS of YOUNG BLACK MEN, PLEASE USE this as a Situation to TEACH/ LEARN FROM:

    1)If they’re with a girl who is violent, they need to break up and keep their distance. Worst case, restraining order. Get something on record. Love/looks be damned.

    2) If they’re in a car with a girl who is beating them, the GIRL is not the worst thing to happen to him, the SYSTEM is. If she won’t get out the damn car or keeps/hides the keys to keep him from leaving , he needs to GET OUT and LEAVE the car ANNND the girl. Call someone to come get him or take a cab or something. Cars can be picked up. Once a violent girl gets the reaction she WANTS, he has LOST and the SYSTEM has yet another young black man to add to their list.

    TEACH your sons about people who PUSH BUTTONS. It can be avoided.

  • Miss Ace

    i got ur cd chris and i love it!

  • Also

    I LOVE his CD and I’m in my 30s. Can’t deny this guy’s talent. He works really hard. ESPECIALLY since he doesn’t just walk back and forth across a stage making hand gestures. He is actually a performer. Also, no one seems to want to make this known, but a portion of the profits from his tour goes to CHARITY.

    Really hate that he didn’t just instantly get out the car and LEAVE her with the car AND the keys. Have you ever met a DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIM who tried to FORCE their abuser to STAY and keep them from leaving? NO! That’s what the ABUSER does. Sigh…whatever. Keep your head up Chris!

  • RoyBoy

    Its too soon to be releasing albums for both Chris and Rihanna. You see Kanye West putting out new music after what he did to Taylor Swift. Hell No! You see Tiger Woods all over Larry King and Wendy Williams. Hell to the no! I would’ve waited until next year to release any albums. Rhianna’s new album didn’t perform like her last albums and Chris’ will do the same.

    And to be honest I have both albums and they were just ok. Rhianna’s last album Good Girl Gone Bad was great. Rated R is just ok. Chris album is ok but not spectacular.

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Hey Chris Brown, If you are reading this or perhaps your publicist. Why not start a campaine on your twitter account, which has customers calling WalMart and asking for your CD. Big box retailers respond to customer demand, always have and always will.

  • bluekid

    Yes Wal-Mart did hide the CD, It is not in the new release section, Pissed me off. You have to ask a sale person for it.

    My friends are buying and has brought it from target, I wish I would have went to targets.

    I’m going to AJ Hammers site so I can tell him to STF up.

  • http://yahoo.com Black Barbie

    I got his new album and its a solid effort on his part. The growth in his music is definitely evident in this album. I have always been a CB fan even in light of his mistakes. People act like they have never been twenty years old before. If we look back to the time when we were that young we will realize that we have done a lot of stupid things that we regret up to this very day. Its the same with Chris, he made a horrid mistake and he paid dearly for it and still is paying for it. Who are we to judge him and say that he is not truly sorry for what he did? Did some of us stop to think how many times he might have had to walk away from similar situations with that girl? It is widely reported that she was extremely abusive throughout their relationship. There is always two sides to a story… not that what he did was right because it wasn’t. My point is we do not know the intimate details so we should not rush to judge. For the record I think that it was foul of Rihanna to decide to do that interview right before her album dropped. Even if she had no ulterior motives, she had to have realized that the timing of this interview would have been highly suspect.

  • Merry Christmas

  • bluekid

    I call my local Wal-Mart they said they have Chris Brown CD in the new release section. I had a friend to go and check to see and she said they not only had it in the new release section they had about 2 dozen CD’s out and she brought two, One for her and the other for her brother.

  • Angel

    COSTUMERS???? lol for real Chris? U can’t spell what you are cursing about? The word is C-U-S-T-O-M-E-R-S… Dammm this boy needs to hit the books. Fast!

  • Please

    Pointing out his typo is so lame. You can only really do that if YOU have never had/seen a typo online. Doubt it.

    People be real, the cd isn’t really hot. Chris should take a chill pill, get his creative juices together… during which people will have ample time to get over this mess (though i doubt most of them will) and try come back. Allow people to miss u Chris… if u didn’t seem so desperate to regain your fame it would be much better for u.

    ha ha ha the boy cant spell but he has talent! I think… well his dancing is good. His album got very low ratings from music critics but i like a few songs on GRAFFITI… Crawl, So Cold and the one he did with Sean Paul are good. I can transform ya does nothing for me… sorry.

    But seriously Chris needs to get off that twitter thing, so unprofessional.

  • Niasia

    Ok Chris was definitley wrong in his actions but I ask this: Did half of the outraged people express such dissent with say R. Kelly who has proven himself to be salacious with young women. Did you have half the outrage when T.I (A convicted felon) was caught with machine guns and silencers? I don’t see half the outrage towards say Roman Polanski who has been on the run for years from abuse inflicted upon a young child. So we can forgive people who violate the youth and human life and not a young man who hit his girlfriend in a fight? All parties are wrong I just can’t understand why Chris Brown receives such vitriol. Shows ua where our prioroties lie! I didn’t see half the boycotting (if any) of R. Kelly a serial statutory rapist!

  • hope4more

    He’s right Walmart didn’t carry it when I checked so he needs to keep working on his talent and just be quiet. I think there are some in the other camp that maybe paying industry insiders not to play his music, cause they think they run it now. Wake up the music industry is using all of you. Now get back to the music!!!

  • dia

    well tiger just lost am endorsement he was with 4 6 years and he only slept with ppl, not em i dont know what he expects wal mart has pulled many ppls CDs off the shelves, hes not the first, anyway they r selling it everywhere else, walmart dictates what they sell not the industry

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh….

    Chris should have went old school on Walmart and started dancing and singing up in there. I wanna see my CD’s, from Wall to Wall.

  • ChichaMami16

    Yeah I believe they were a little out of pocket, because if he didn’t answer the first time, then that’s a clear sign that he doesn’t want to talk about it…. and then they asked again…

    that good for his ass

  • LovelyLisa

    He’s an idiot. Period.

  • memchee

    paranoid idiot.

    the industry may force him to lay low for awhile as best as they can, but they ain’t gonna take it that far.

  • AngelFace

    He honestly should have just waited. It was way too soon for him to release a CD. I asked my daughter if she wanted his CD and she said, I don’t like that woman beater anymore. She’s 12 yrs old. For the record, his CD was stocked at the Walmart here in PA. The reason that his CD is not selling is the same reason most CDs are not selling big numbers is because people don’t buy CDs. He’s still top 10 in Itunes. As for Tiger, just like Kobe, he too will bounce back. Money talks and Tiger is the face of golf. I predict he will play in the Masters.

  • KariB

    He should start grindin. Take a bunch of cd’s and get his team to sell them outside of every appearance he’s at. (Every show, every radio station, every tv interview, every off camera appearance.) Keep them thangs in the trunk.

  • Evinkauga

    Oh well…….didn’t Alicia Keys album come out….as the world turns

  • l – boogie

    why wouldn’t they put ri-ri’s album out….she didnt beat his azz…… hes crying about something that is just too bad…he did it ….he cant control how people react what he should have done was controlled his own actions …. F%$#ing sissy lala

  • nicky

    why is it so much drama with these two..They’re in the 20′s right
    i’m sure(well actually she said it she would not let it go, his human)
    No body old, young, male or female is going to let you just go in on them,especially about something there trying to hide. She probably throught she could fire on him while driving and got that big head cracked (don’t take that the wrong way it is big, i like her music & her GM interview didnt seem truthful)

    Any way i got my cd from a Wal-mart
