Chris Brown, fresh off launching his Breezy Bowl XX tour, is letting fans in on his process of staying “grounded” while “isolated” on the road.
In an Instagram update on Tuesday, the “Holy Blindfold” artist shared what he described as a “fun fact” about the efforts he takes to counteract the downsides of fame. According to Brown, he’s fond of sneaking out alone while on the road, crediting the pastime with helping him “feel human and normal” despite being globally recognized.
“Fun fact: I like to sneak out by myself when I’m in different cities,” Brown told fans. “It helps me feel human and normal. That’s really important for my mental due to the fact that I just can’t walk around freely during the day. Keeps me grounded. Being secluded from some parts of everyday life activities will drive you insane being isolated all the time. Cook, remain humble and grateful!”
Ahead of the kickoff of his new tour, which serves as a celebration of 20 years of CB music, Brown found himself in legal trouble in connection with an alleged 2023 incident in which he was accused of hitting a man with a tequila bottle at a London club. In a press release issued in May, the Metropolitan Police Service said that Brown had been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. While he remained in custody at the time, he was ultimately released, with both Justin Bieber and 50 Cent offering public words of support.
This Friday, Brown will be rolling out the aforementioned “Holy Blindfold.” The new single comes nearly two years after the release of his most recent studio album, 11:11, though it’s not clear whether this is a standalone track or the start of a fresh rollout.
