Chris Brown is crying foul after he claimed he was disinvited to play in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
The singer, 34, who attended Men’s Fashion Week in Paris, blamed sponsor squeamishness about his violent past as a reason he was allegedly asked and then dropped from the annual game of hoops.
‘I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do IT because of their sponsors like Ruffles,’ he claimed.
‘At this point, I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m sick of living in the f**king past.
The Superhero singer posted a photo of an alleged email he received inviting him to the Friday February 16 game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

He also posted an image of the blue uniform he would wear as a member of Lil Wayne’s team.
The Angel Numbers artist claimed the NBA invited him to sit in the audience courtside, but said he declined to do so in very strong language.
Brown pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault for attacking his then-girlfriend Rihanna, now 35, in a well-publicized incident in 2009.
He agreed to a plea deal which required community service, domestic violence counseling and five years’ probation.
In 2012, he was involved in a brawl at a New York nightclub with Drake, NBA star Tony Parker and members of their entourages. Eight people were injured but no criminal charges were filed.
That same year, he got into trouble for violating a restraining order and attending the same Halloween party as Rihanna. He was dressed as an Islamic terrorist.
In 2014, while in rehab for anger management issues, Brown was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
He was later kicked out of the facility for violating ‘internal rules,’ and sentenced to 131 days in jail for violating his probation.

A series of other legal issues continued to crop up, including charges he texted threats to former girlfriend Karrueche Tran, now 35, in 2017. The Bel Air actress was granted a five year restraining order.
In 2021, police responded to his home after a woman called for help saying she had been struck in the back of the head. TMZ and the Los Angeles ABC affiliate identified that man as Brown.
The Loyal singer posted a video on his Instagram stories with the a message scrolled across it which read, ‘This is to all the haters out there. If you don’t like what I do, but you watch everything I’m doing, you’re still a fan.’
Page Six reached out to Ruffles about Brown’s allegations and received a statement which read, ‘Ruffles sponsored last night’s NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, however Ruffles did not have any involvement in, nor visibility to, any player decisions or celebrity invite discussions.’
