Chris Brown is undeniably one of R&B’s most talented
entertainers, and yet, due to his personal life has become one of
music’s most polarizing figures. For nearly a decade, Brown has
continued to light up stages across the world, but has also made
headlines for his past relationships with Rihanna and Karrueche Tran.
Now, the constant hit maker is speaking out about it all–the good, the bad and the ugly–in his forthcoming documentary Welcome To My Life. Watch video after the cut
In the two minute trailer, Jamie Foxx, Usher, Jennifer Lopez, Rita
Ora and Terrence Jenkins all offer commentary on the entertainer’s
ability to bring a crowd to its feet, while Brown speaks candidly about
the incidents in his past that nearly ended his career including the
2009 assault against ex-girlfriend Rihanna, and how the entire ordeal
drove him to suicidal thoughts.
“Like, real life rockstars,” the 26-year-old said, “It was like a
fairy tale. I went from being on top of the world. Number one songs,
being kind of like America’s sweetheart, to being public enemy number
one.”
With tears in his eyes, Brown, nearly seven years after the assault,
was visibly hurt and expressed his disappointment with himself.
“I felt like a f–king monster,” he said. “I was thinking about
suicide and everything else. I wasn’t sleeping. I wasn’t eating. I was
just getting high.”
Yet despite all of Brown’s trials, both figurative and literal, he
leaves nothing off the table and ends the trailer on a high note.
“If there was ever a doubt in your mind that Chris Brown was done, he was finished, I wouldn’t bet on it.”
