Chris Brown Rants About Acceptance, Respect, Dying Alone

Chris Brown, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter, recently unleashed a rant on Twitter months after vowing to quit social media.

"Half of y'all hate the skin you're in. I don't kiss (expletive) for covers or respect," Brown tweeted early Saturday morning. "When u see me speak up!"

Brown went on to speak about the need for people to be themselves instead of searching for acceptance.

"Be yourself! Acceptance is trivial. When we die, we die alone," he tweeted. "Artist worry about their brand. I worry about supporting my family! [SIC]"

The singer ended his rant by speaking about people who may need to humble themselves.

"When people walk with their noses in the air they usually run into shit," he wrote on the social networking website.

For the majority of 2013, Brown gave up control of his social media networks. Last January he let fans know why he no longer wanted to take part in social media.

"Social media takes away the essence of why we are even special or icons," Brown wrote to fans on his Instagram account last January. "So with that, I'm detaching myself from that world."

The entertainer admitted that for him, giving up social media was a logical decision.

"I think it's smarter as an entertainer and as a leader. I have to think logically. When I'm too attainable, it makes me too down," Brown told MTV last March. "Now I express it through my music and through my paintings as well. What I want to talk about comes out, and the beat fills in the rest."

Although it seems that he is back in control of his Twitter account, the singer previously spoke about sharing his reality with fans through his music instead of social media.

"All of it coexists with my reality now. I'm an open book," Brown told MTV previously. "I think the way my life is, people want to know all the time, so I have to let them know through my music."
