Chris Brown's career is at a crossroads. The singer's last album, 2009's 'Graffiti' wasn't the commercial success he had hoped. And coming on the heels of his physical assault of then girlfriend Rihanna maybe that backlash from fans should have been expected.
Feeling like pop radio has abandoned him, the R&B star has gone in a totally different direction on his new mixtape 'Fan Of A Fan'. A collaborative effort with Young Money rapper Tyga.
A new video from the tape for the song "No Bullsh*t" is already stirring controversy and dividing some of his long time fans because of its sometimes R-rated content.
The video shows Chris getting his "grown man" on with a young lady. With shots of him licking and kissing in certain places you usually don't see in a music video. Especially one from the usually more reserved Chris Brown.
As one fan, hupakoe05 wrote in the comment section of the video on youtube.
"it's one thing to grow up... it's another to sell out.... be different...you have to put out a ass-licking video cause everybody else is? smh"
Another fan, tashatambara had a completely different take on it
"Chris BREZZY IS THE SH*T... I LOVE HIM so much.. this song got me... Good video .. i love his dance steps.. every move and heart beat was so passionate... for all d negative comments on dis video, y'll shud appreciate hardwork and dont hate... cos Chris is Fly, and y'all probably not even by the terminal....."
Chris addresses his fans on Twitter about the video, writing, "just so u know.. all these videos r for you.. the fans. Ive never done it for the industry or approval of my peers(other artists) i do it for u... everyone else can just follow my lead".
Every artist with a teen fan base like a Chris Brown or a Miley Cyrus has to make a decision to either keep making bubbly pop songs or try to gain an adult audience.
