Chris Brown Claims Retailers are Blackballing Him
Chris Brown is furious major retail stores are refusing to stock his latest album.
The “I Can Transform Ya” singer - who was convicted of assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna in February - recently posted a series of angry tweets blasting stores who refuse to sell his LP Graffiti.
“I’m tired of this s**t. major stores are blackballing my CD. Not stocking the shelves and lying to customers. what the f**k do I gotta do?... WTF… yeah I said it and I aint retracting s**t… I’m not biting my tongue about s**t else… The industry can kiss my a*s.”
Well - Chris may not have wanted to retract his statements, but apparently someone else did. His Twitter account has since been deleted.
Meanwhile, Walmart denies being one of those stores that has banned his CD. The retail giant issued this statement to People on Monday:
“We are surprised at the comments online. All Walmart stores nationwide have carried the CD since its release, including the Wallingford store mentioned in the post. This store actually sold through its initial shipment over the weekend. The majority of our stores today are showing they do have copies available.”
