Lately, father of one, Chris Brown has dominated
headlines again, all for the wrong reasons, and it started
after his insensitive comment after singer Kehlani
attempted to take her life. Some of the stars who
slammed Breezy included the Fifth Harmony singers,
Tinashe and Zendaya, all of whom the father of one had
dragged on social media.
Now, he has featured in Urban Ink magazine where he
dishes on his career, his daughter Royalty , what propels
him and why he sees himself as a rebel
On what propels him:
Well, it’s easy: fearlessness. It’s not
arrogance; it’s fearlessness. People dog
themselves before they give themselves an
opportunity to fail. So I think they let other
people’s insecurities bring their doubts
down. I don’t let that stop anything I’m
doing. It’s never worked out for me in the
past, so I think that listening to myself and
focusing on what I needed to do puts me in
that category. So if I wanted to rap or if I
wanted to yodel, I think I would have just
done it anyway with the confidence of me
saying, “I’m gonna do it.” People usually
have a lack of confidence due to insecurities.
Once again, it’s not arrogance. It’s just being
very aware and fearless of doing things or
willing to try.
On the concept behind his numerous tattoos:
Usually, it just comes from us partying or
being in some exciting environment. Mostly
it’s just having fun. For me, I don’t try to
focus too much on particulars when getting a
tattoo. Granted sometimes it has a deep
meaning, like a milestone, and sometimes
it’s just a stepping-stone in my life. I’ll look
at a tattoo and say, “Oh, I remember where I
was at when I got this tattoo.” Those
moments are captured within the tattoos. I
believe overthinking is probably what most
people do, so I just try to let it flow. I use
that same philosophy when I am getting my
own artwork tattooed on me. I give my tattoo
artist a lot of freedom.
Everyone always remembers their first tattoo.
My first tattoo was a Jesus with musical
notes. Basically signifying that God gave me
the gift to sing. I was 13, but my mom didn’t
know I got it. When she saw it, she went
crazy, like, “What are you doing?” I showed
her. I said, “It’s Jesus, mama, look.” So she
kind of cooled down, but I still got in trouble.
The latest ink I’ve got is probably my head.
On his reputation as being a rebel:
I would just say that I would rather be an
inspiration and not a role model. Make your
own decisions. You don’t have to rebel just
to rebel. You don’t have to accept just to
accept. If you want to get a tattoo, if you
think that’s your thing, then that’s cool. I
personally think that now, not having a tattoo
is kind of like a statement in itself. Our
generation is gonna be old, tatted, and we’re
gonna look so dope. So, it’s a choice. When
my fans can say, “I want to get tatted or I
don’t want to get tatted.” I don’t look at them
any differently.
On his daughter, Royalty:
When I look at her, I see myself. I see a
better version of myself. I just see her future.
There’s no need to go backwards. At the end
of the day, you learn that life is all about
choices. Life is about responsibility and,
actually, life is about love. Seeing my
daughter embodies everything that I need to
feel a sense of fulfillment and believe in
myself. Being able to have her in my life, it’s
just been amazing.
