Chris Brown is not renowned for holding back when it comes to his peers.

And that trajectory continued today, in the wake of remarks made by his one-time collaborator Tinashe. 

The pair teamed up for the song ‘Player’ back in 2015 when they were labelmates on RCA Records. 

Currently promoting her new album ‘BB/ANG3L,’ Tinashe stopped by the Zach Sang Show on amp Radio, where she plugged the project and reflected on her journey in music thus far.

The latter is where and how the singer appears to have sparked annoyance within Brown – and it wasn’t long before he let her know.

Believed to be the first single from Tim’s forthcoming solo project, ‘Keep Going Up’ seems poised to live up to its namesake if its opening on this week’s main hitlist is any suggestion.

“Damn, we coulda really had a ball,” she says over a Sam Homaee-produced instrumental. “Painted me a picture, but I saw / You only wanted the drawers.”
