Embattled R&B bad boy Chris Brown finds himself afront the December/January issue of ‘XXL’ magazine. Sharing cover duties with rapper Big Sean, the ‘Run It’ singer has seen his name run atop headlines for the past week for Twitter troubles – including its recent deletion.
Before news of that showdown hit headlines, however, Brown took to ‘XXL’ to detail the new plans for his oft-troubled Twitter account. Also dishing on his public love life and beef with rapper Drake, see excerpts from the tell all session with the hip hop magazine below:
On his love life:
“One thing people often want me to talk about is my public love life. When it comes to my love life, the perception seems as though I am a player. But that’s not true,” he said. “Love is something I am still learning. It’s just an obstacle that I haven’t yet mastered. I think that’s my biggest hurdle in life.”
On rap diva Drake:
“A lot of people wanna know about the whole situation with me, Drake and Meek Mill. At the end of the day, I’m me, they’re them. They rap, I sing. Totally different caliber. I rap, I play around on mixtapes. But our words don’t collide as much as you’d think.”
On Twitter usage:
“I haven’t been as mature and thought out in the past, so, me growing now, it’s showing my progression. I used to use my Twitter account to vent, but now I mostly use it for marketing and promotions. I use music or painting as my outlet to get through the confusion. I try to promote positivity and love.”
“In the beginning, I used to be hot. I’m normal. I’m human, so if anybody says something that’s a lie, I’m numb to it. I’ve smartened up.”
