Chris Brown Pleads With Fans, 'I Can't Be An Underground Artist'

Embattled R&B singer Chris Brown is having a tough time. Pleading with fans in a message released Wednesday, the "Transform Ya" singer says "My singing and my music I do it for you guys and everything else but it won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio..."
According to Brown, radio stations are opting not to play his music, negatively impacting his career.
"A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to," admits Brown. "It’s on the fans and what you guys do in your power to bring me back. That’s all I need is you guys and nothing else will do that except for the fans."
It is unclear if Brown's recording future is in jeopardy due to his failure to reach charting success seen with previous efforts but, the singer definitely appears to be desperate in his message. Referencing his recent mixtape release, Brown says he can't continue to produce music if he's no longer relevant.
"I don’t know what else to say. It’s nothing else that I can do. I’m doing everything that I need to do. I’m doing me as a person and I’m a better guy," said Brown. "It’s on ya’ll. My singing and my music I do it for you guys and everything else but it won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio and it wouldn’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have the support. I can’t be an underground mixtape artist. That’s where we are. I just want all my fans to help me. I love ya’ll. Peace"
Brown released an album titled "Graffiti" in December. Led by the singles "I Can Transform Ya" and "Crawl" the effort has been successful but pales in comparison to his debut and sophomore albums.

........PWHAHAHAHAHAHAA!! Guess your dumbass shouldn't have bought that brand new Bugatti right? You might go broke sooner than you think SUCKA!
Its really sad that someone can change their ways and try to do all they can to apologize and do better with their life and still get kicked down repeatedly. yah he hit her yah it was dead wrong. But he reforms himself and his world continues to deny him and keeps denying him and eventually...hes not gona be able to work. what does that teach him? that no matter what he does he can never overcome what he did, that change and apologies do not matter? dosnt anyone think that thatll just make him all the worse of a person? fallen artists dont become the best people. Hes changed. Hes apologized.He makes amazing music... give the boy a chance.
I have to say I only agree with ones who are positive on here. Chris has done all he can its not his fault that bull got out of hand. I just wish he would have spoken out sooner and not let her get the best of him. I think miss Lady is a s*** bag and plus she is not from this country and never should have been allowed to say what she said on tv. She lied about not hearing his song on Dateline and she was honest about provoking the argument in the first place. If they are still supporting her ass why cant we support Chris after all he is young and and he made a mistake. I suggest to him never date a someone that is not full blooded American and be someone who is not famous. And pray before you make a decision as to who you want in your life. May God continue to bless you and I will continue to support you.

Shes gettin over it, WHY DONT YOU TRY?????.....
chris hold you head up don't stop all your good are here for you i don't want to hear it;s impossible from you again.
Funny how there are consequences to your actions. Brown has the audacity to say, "My singing and my music.. I do it for you guys [fans] and everything else, but it won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio and it wouldn’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have the support..."[/i] So wait a minute. If you aren't on the radio, then you can't be an artist?!?! Really??? Some how not being on the radio means you can't practice your selfless act of making music for the fans?!?! Really!?!?! Hold the phone! I think what you meant to say is if you aren't getting radio play to encourage record sales, then you can't earn a living you have become accustom too. That has zero to do with your ability to be an artist. To be creative. Spin it however you want, but what a pathetic steaming pile of crap this man is shoveling.
CHRIS STAY ON YOUR GRIND AND THE REST WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF!! CHRIS DON'T STOP, CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP, BELIEVE THAT !!
Why should the fan help him get rich???? that is what he is saying ...please help me sell a lot of records so i get back in the game. what did he ever do for the fan??? Lister ...everything you hear, see , touch and smell is business these days....its all about the money
