Chris Brown’s Graffiti Gets Blackballed
Sounds like a good old fashion case of sabotage in regards to Chris Brown’s new record, “Graffiti”. Upon noticing the absence of his new release at a New England Wal-Mart, here’s what he had to Twitter about it:
“the industry can kiss my a–,” and “im tired of this s–t,” he Tweeted at noon on Friday, adding, “major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the f–k do i gotta do.”
According to Brown, his new album was nowhere to be found in the entire store, and after making this startling discovery on Friday, he added, “yeah i said it and i aint retracting s–t. im not biting my tongue about s else…”
Sources say that once fans complained to Chris that his album was unable to be found at the Wallingford, Conn location, he decided to make a cameo appearance at the mega-chain to see for himself.
Suspicions were confirmed when the Graffiti artist himself did not find one single copy of the CD. To his displeasure, Wal-Mart “didn’t even have my album in the back. not on shelves, saw for myself.” He claimed to have addressed his concerns to management, and Tweeted that “the manager told me that when there are new releases its mandatory to put em on the shelves.. BUT NO SIGN OF GRAFFITI.”
Looks like the young fellow went from giving black eyes to getting blackballed, yet there is an air akin to pity that surrounds the situation.
Will Chris Brown ever be forgiven? Does he deserve public compassion? What say you on the scandal?

Whether or not one forgives him or supports him, those of us who do shouldn’t be punished. It’s not right what he did, but America will forgive murderers before they forgiven him because of his celebrity status. He has to sell albums and perform shows so don’t punish for the rest of his life for a mistake he’s made only once. And any real music fan will agree that whether or not you like him, he’s album is amazing, hands down.
Frankly, I’m quite sick of Chris Brown’s juvenile temper tantrums. You can’t expect respect when you can’t even refrain yourself from beating another human being. Clearly, his behavior shows a lack of remorse. He should stop complaining and just be grateful that he is still able to make music despite his immaturity and lack of judgement.
I’m not saying beating on anyone (male to female / female to male) is right, but i think its time for everyone to move on. Yes, people can be upset at him for whatever occurred between him and rhianna (which i’m still not sure, we know the full truth about) but was it really the end of the world? Music is his livelihood and if people want to support him, then they should be able too without stores or the “industry” making the decision for them. I don’t think he’s throwing tantrums, i think he’s speaking his mind (which for some reason people dont feel that celebrities should be able to do). Imagine your reaction/response if you weren’t allowed to make a living for yourself and family due to one bad decision. Michael Jackson (RIP) was a supposed pedophile, R. Kelly A supposed pervert, Chris Brown a supposed abuser (the list goes on and on with famous criminals)… why should he be the only one cast out to the wolves……………..Let He Without Sin Cast The First Stone
Karma. She can be such a beauty or she can be a pure unadulterated bitch. I can see what she is to Mr. Brown right now.
The information here is off a little, true Walmart didnt have his album on stock at the time he went there, but that was because the store SOLD OUT after a week of it’s release. The dude either didnt bother to ask the managers or he intentionally with held that piece of info to have people talking about it, which they are.
Yep, I don’t think he’s being blackballed. I mean if the “industry” decided to stop selling every CD made by an unsavoury character, we, wouldn’t have anything to listen to
@Patricia
Lol, your right about that, if they went that way there would be no music industry.
He’s always throwing a tantrum. Jeez, get over yourself already, Chris.
If he is getting blackballed maybe it’s because people are tired of supporting men who abuse women. I only wish the same would happen to R Kelly.
Some thoughts:
He should have had a camera following him when he went to visit that Walmart.
He should have made a battered women commercial by now
He probably shouldn’t have released an album so soon. We’re kind of moving on with him and the “incident’ but releasing an album the same quarter as Rhianna’s, with content (allegedly) talking about her? He should release a few singles and fall back until next year
What would he have to do to get back in good graces? Just make good music
