In today’s popular culture, it is easy for celebrities who are in the public eye to be put upon a pedestal, or criticized for any action, further placed under a microscope with the help of social media. Chris Brown is one who is well aware of his imperfections, but rather than attempt to change his public perception, he seemed to cherish and welcome his role as a villain.
However, the artist took to Instagram today for a surprisingly deep introspection, looking to shed some the antagonistic reputation. In the succinct letter, Brown points out the flaws in his character, and reflects the negativity and impulsiveness that has surrounded him in the past. Brown closes the letter urging fans to discern the truth in what the media presents, hoping they realize that what is told isn’t always an accurate representation of his personality. Read the letter in the Instagram post or the excerpt below.
I’m Konfuzed, I always thought I knew the concept of love. Fame and Money can get in the way of that. Most of my issues always deal with love and me being in my feelings. Not to mention me being a dog sometimes. I can’t speak for everyone but I can say that my actions contributed a lot to my karma. Being jealous and angry and controlling. There has been times where I looked in the mirror and hated the person I see. I talk to God a lot now. He’s given me so much and I feel like I waste his gifts becuz of my impulsive personality. The world is full of negativity and I feel I play a part in it becuz of the choices I’ve made or mistakes. I tend to accept the negative or the riff raff becuz I know what it’s like to be a young black “nigga” in America. I always see the good in people even when they don’t see it. I love others more than myself at times. Everything u see on the surface does not reflect what’s inside. This is my white flag. I surrender to life and all its blessings. I refuse to be petty and attention seeking. To know me is to love me. Good Bad UGLY! Sincerely, Konfuzed
