BROWN POSTS DRUNK VIDEO PROCLAIMING LOVE FOR TWO WOMEN!
Chris Brown really wants people to understand him. The R&B star, who last week dumped girlfriend Karrueche Tran, posted a video Friday in which he tries to explain his complicated love life, suggesting that he loves both Karrueche and his ex-Rihanna. “I’m a little drunk, so I’mma be honest,” says Chris. "Y'all don't really get the real Chris Brown, so I like to just be honest, man. I'm stressed out. That's just real sh-t, man." As for the reason he’s stressed, apparently he can’t deal with loving both women. “When you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it's kinda difficult. Is there such thing as loving two people? I don't know if that's possible, but for me, I feel like that,” he said. “Y'all are probably like, 'What the f-ck is he talking about right now?' But I'm just saying, I'm being real. I don't want to hurt either or. I'm not trying to be a player. I'm not trying to be a dog. None of that." He then added, “My mama raised me differently. I just can't. It's too much sometimes."
