Have a Seat: Brian McKnight and Chris Brown Have Beef…Via Twitter of Course

Another week, another Twitter beef between Chris Brown and someone else in Hollywood. But this time, we can’t really fault him, because Brian McKnight is out here throwing shade for no reason. And as they say, don’t start none, won’t be none.

Much to his chagrin, once again, his foray into adult R&B music (with the release of his “Anal” track) isn’t being accepted with open arms and excitement. While the “Anytime” singer was probably hoping he would get some attention that would probably bring him back to the top, instead, folks have thrown out the scary I-word: “irrelevant.” So in response to the criticism, McKnight went in on a slew of famous black men with less than stellar reputations who still found a way to make big money and who he seems to think don’t receive enough criticism: R.Kelly, Floyd Mayweather, and of course, Breezy. It all allegedly started when a fan told him to go back to making quality music since his true fans weren’t going anywhere. In response, via Twitter, he said, “Really then why are record sales for everyone so low, why weren’t you on my timeline until now. Integrity won’t pay the mortgages, I will ask all of you how many of you would do your job for no pay?”

When that response wasn’t enough, he decided to go in on other folks and have a real conversation about what is and what isn’t “acceptable” since his new music doesn’t seem to be. See below:

Chris, who was touched upon in the Lambo a** whoopin’ comment, being young and crunk as always, decided to let him know what everyone was thinking: using other people’s names to get publicity is a big no, no. Especially when you’re a person who has allegedly had your own share of domestic violence issues…

“I see how this works now … When peoples’ careers get to the ‘nobody cares’ stage, they use my name for publicity! I can’t keep helping these old n*****. It’s a miracle the way I’m bringing the dead alive! I would’ve gladly wrote you something that would make u look less irrelevant!  Listening to “let me show u how ur P works”!!!! THAT S— IS TRASH! If u need help just ask!”

Ouch.

Brian, Brian, Brian. I understand that the industry is changing and that frustrates you, but if you don’t sit down and get your life together and stop selling every bit of your self-respect to get attention, you will not only be just irrelevant, but you’ll go down as the bitter, irrelevant dude who sang the p***y song too. What type of legacy is that? Go back to the drawing board and come back to do quality music when you’ve got your mind right. Until then, there’s a seat in the corner for you. Take it.

Does Brian have a point, or should he just stop?

    i thought when the funny or die video came out he was doing it for laughs and i took a sigh of relief (and a chuckle). but now, i don’t know, maybe he really IS serious about moving his music in this direction from now on. oh, well. i still have you, anytime. *hugs album*

    So over these stupid celebrity Twitter beefs. How lame can you get.

    I expect such immaturity from Chris Brown, still waiting on him to grow up. However, Brian is very grown and should always act like it. Seriously, he is old enough to be Chris’ dad.

  • IllyPhilly

    Nobody knows how to bow out gracefully anymore??

  • rosemary davis

    Chris Brown is funny as heck don’t mess with him on twitter because he will come back on you with full force.I was telling my son about Brian and his dirty songs because he was once a fan he couldn’t beleive it so my advice too you Brian is too do those oldie but goodie shows do your old music people like me still like it but I am afraid if you keep traveling down this one way road you will too a cross road with no direction in which way too go and you will leave a legacy of an old bitter man who was unsung but couldn’t except that you had your day in the sun and now it’s time too sit in the shade

    damn brian (-_)

    Chris gave Brian exactly what he wanted: ATTENTION. Never miss an opportunity to shut your mouth-advice that should be taken by both parties.

    What an a**hole. McKnight is so wrong it’s not even funny. Don’t throw shade when your windows are foggy, ask the Ex-wife. He knows that we have long memories so we have not forgotten his own issues with his women.

    Make a quality song an people may listen, but making a tacky track and then getting mad when called on it is a sign of immaturity on his part and he is just too damn old for that nonsense.

    He needs to take two seats cause I don’t think he is through and he just opened up a can of worms that he can’t escape from.

    Brian you started a fight that you can’t win.

    Ever since he got divorced and started hanging out with jumpoffs, he lost his inspiration to write about love. This goes to show just how empty life is without real love!!

    I am a HUGE Brian McKnight fan but in the words of the great Tamar Braxton, he needs to take several seats. He is too talented and iconic (in my opinion) to slander others in order to get attention. And with these p*ssy and an*l songs we call all see this is what this is. Like really, I hate to see him like this. He couldn’t just toured off old #1 hits and called it a day…at least he would have left with some diginity #wompwompwomp

  • Chrystal

    Chris, don’t mince No words!! Lol!

    He should know good and well not to start talking about that li’l boy or any of these insecure celebs in their 20′s, ’cause they WILL snap back at you with no problem. Meanwhile, that anal mess was AWFUL to begin with so Brian needs to sit in the corner anyway with his wannabe foul self. Nobody wanted to hear the coochie song either. Make romantic music. Stay in your lane, Brian. Stay. In. Your. Lane.

  • Why, why?

    Lol! I’m not even a Chris Brown fan, but what he said was oh so true. Brian McK needs to take to the bench for now and sit these next few plays out. Sad he was the same dude on Sister, Sister…: (
