Chris Brown isn’t begging for anyone to like his music. 

After Pitchfork called his new album Brown “a real piece of s--t" the “Beg for It” singer didn’t hold back, shared his expletive-filled response to the viral review.

“Team Breezy, I know people want me to get on here and, you know, say some sad s--t, but f--k that,” Chris said in a video posted to his Instagram Stories May 12. “We kickin’ they ass, goddammit. We ain't lettin’ up.”

“Imma keep my foot on they neck and we ain't stopping. You heard me?” he added. “We doing this motherf--kin’ tour, more s--t to come. I'm not gonna tell you what's more to come, but it's coming, at the end of the day.”

Chris, who released his 12th studio album May 8 and is set to go on tour with Usher in June, emphasized he’s not willing to hear feedback from his critics.

“I don't give a f--k what these n---as is talkin’ about,” Chris continued. “I know exactly who my fans is and I know exactly who hearing this album. If you not my fan, I don't want you to listen to my shit.”

Taking a swipe at Zara Larsson—who has publicly criticized Chris for his past domestic violence controversies including his 2009 felony assault case involving ex Rihanna—the Grammy winner concluded, “Go listen to motherf--kin’ Zara Larsson or somebody. F--k them.” 

But this wouldn’t be the first time the 37-year-old addressed the “mixed reviews” of the album. After all, he recently expressed gratitude for his fans taking the time to listen.

Chris Brown attends the Amiri Menswear Fall/Winter 2026-2027 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 22, 2026 in Paris, France. 

“I can take my audience’s criticism and opinions,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories May 10. “The last 3 albums have came [sic] under the same scrutiny and it eventually grew on people. Thank you for even taking the time out to listen.”

Chris’ latest album comes weeks after he welcomed his fourth baby, his first with Jada Wallace.

Posting pictures of her pregnant baby belly as well as a photo of her newborn drinking out of a bottle, Jada wrote on Instagram April 26, "Purest Love."

Previously, the “Kiss Kiss” singer—also dad to kids Royalty, 11, with Nia Guzman, Aeko, 6, with Ammika Harris and Lovely, 4, with Diamond Brown—shared how fatherhood has been a “mellowing” experience.

"I have a co-parenting job that's pretty amazing," he said in a 2015 appearance on On Air with Ryan Seacrest, "but learning how to be a dad, especially learning how to take care of somebody else, I barely know how to brush my teeth in the morning!"

“It's actually great,” he added. “It's very humbling. It's very calming.”
