American R&B superstar Chris Brown has sent a fiery message to fans and critics: stop the comparisons.
The Under The Influence singer took to Instagram to express frustration over the constant comparisons with other artists, boldly declaring that no one should be compared to him unless they’ve walked in his shoes.
“I wish y’all stop comparing me to other artists and saying me vs someone else,” he wrote in a now-viral Instagram Story.
“Until one of these artists do all the sh*t by themselves with no help and the media constantly f**king with them, then come holla at me.”

Chris Brown, who has been a force in the music industry for two decades, stressed that his journey has been far from easy. Despite facing personal controversies and public backlash over the years, the Grammy winner remains one of the most consistent and influential artists of his generation.
“I’ve been in this game for 20 years, still doing it. I do this to feed my family,” he added, making it clear that music is more than fame — it’s his lifeline.

The Long-Running Comparisons
Chris Brown has frequently been compared to Michael Jackson, especially for his dancing skills, stage presence, and vocal range. Others have drawn parallels between Breezy and R&B contemporaries like Usher, T-Pain, Trey Songz, Mario, Akon, and Nelly.
But for Chris, the comparisons don’t hold weight unless the artists being mentioned have also:
• Written their own hits
• Created and performed with little to no media support
• Overcome public scrutiny and remained relevant
