Is legally and emotionally troubled R&B singer Chris Brown affiliated with a gang? Specifically the notorious L.A. street toughs known as the Bloods?
Not as he sees it ... but he does have "relationships" with these miscreants.
Brown's relationship with the Bloods in Los Angeles is causing his mother and girlfriend to worry that it may literally be the end of him, as reported earlier.
Chris tells MTV, though, that he's not "involved" for all intents and purposes.
“When you’re in L.A. and you’re around people, you meet everybody .... you meet Crips, you meet Bloods, especially in this industry that I’m in,” he says.
“I’m not in the country world, I’m not in the all-the-way pop world."
Brown reiterates, "[When] you’re in hip-hop, all of that meshes.”
It's unclear how the simply being in hip-hop goes hand-in-hand with assassination attempts on Brown, but he sees it as par for the course, evidently.
His mom, Joyce Hawkins, and girlfriend Karreuche don't agree to say the least.
The women have reportedly asked his therapist - whom Brown praised, in response to the Ray Rice video - to advise him against these circles of friends.
Can't he just thug out suburbia style with Kendall and Kylie Jenner? Jeez!
For the sake of his career and more important his ability to continue breathing, Kae and Joyce feel like an intervention is needed, and it's hard to argue.
Everywhere Chris goes, violence follows; LAPD officers have even (quietly) tried to get clubs to turn away the star and his posse, given his history.
Breezy doesn't see his situation as problematic in the least, though.
“I’m cordial,” he said of his "relationships" with gang members.
He says he's not "affiliated," and technically this is true, even if sources say he hangs around or even employs people who are actual, full-on Bloods.
In his mind, these are different things, even as people get shot and stabbed at his shows. Just 'cause he hangs with them doesn't mean he's one of them.
Hopefully, that attitude doesn't lead to tragic consequences.
