Following Selena Gomez&#8217;s viral MTV VMAs sneer towards him, Grammy winner Chris Brown decided to instead take his anger out at R&amp;B songstress Tinashe, who recently claimed their 2015 collaboration Player didn&#8217;t &#8216;compute.&#8217;
The Kentucky-born 30-year-old blamed her ex-label RCA Records for making the Virginia-born 34-year-old a featured artist on her pop song for which the pair filmed a steamy dance-driven music video directed by Emil Nava.
&#8216;We all wanted it to be, like, this big moment this big single. So I feel like in [RCA Records&#8217;] mind, they were like, &#8220;You need the support,&#8221;&#8216; Tinashe (last name Kachingwe) recalled on the Zach Sang Show last Tuesday.
&#8216;And [Chris] was like their biggest artist that they had on rhythmic radio at the time. And to me, I was like, &#8220;Well this is a pop song. So I really don&#8217;t feel like we should put Chris on it. That doesn&#8217;t compute to me.&#8221; But I don&#8217;t know!&#8217;
The former child star &#8211; who&#8217;s also &#8217;embarrassed&#8217; about her 2015 R. Kelly collaboration &#8211; added: &#8216;This isn&#8217;t like fully bad maybe it doesn&#8217;t make full sense to me but, like you know, there&#8217;s some type of, like, compromise and, like, me just trying to, like, figure out how to navigate that scenario.&#8217;

Misdirection: Following Selena Gomez&#8217;s viral MTV VMAs sneer towards him, Grammy winner Chris Brown (L) decided to instead take his anger out at R&amp;B songstress Tinashe (R), who recently claimed their 2015 collaboration Player didn&#8217;t &#8216;compute&#8217;
On Saturday, Brown responded to the criticism via No Jumper&#8217;s Instagram account by commenting: &#8216;Name five Tinashe songs or die&#8230; everybody dead.&#8217;
The self-taught R&amp;B belter &#8211; who&#8217;s sold over 217M records worldwide &#8211; added: &#8216;She full of dat evil. Shawty career is nonexistent. What&#8217;s more embarrassing is that she worked with all these people and not one us could save her career.&#8217;
Chris was still angry on Sunday when he reposted two supportive Instastories from his friend, two-time Grammy nominee Joyner Lucas.
&#8216;There will be no Chris Brown slander tolerated. I&#8217;m talking about you weirdo f***ing celebrity weirdos that go on these podcasts, and start poppin&#8217; s*** on my n**** for absolutely no f***ing reason. N****s be making faces and s***,&#8217; the Massachusetts-born 35-year-old said.
&#8216;N****s be secretly fans behind closed doors and listen to @chrisbrownofficial music just as much as we do, but then go on a political hate campaign and take the position of bashing the n****. SMH these are the same people who advocate against bullying and being treated fair, but then wanna sub bro and smear him in front of the world.
&#8216;I ain&#8217;t gonna watch it go down no more and not step in front of every bullet. IDGAF who you are or how many followers you weirdos got. We not doin that. Shout out to my bro for not [losing] his sanity at this point.&#8217;
On Sunday, Tinashe &#8211; who boasts 13.2M social media followers &#8211; used the controversy to promote her new single off her seven-track sixth studio album BB/ANG3L: &#8216;Anyways&#8230; stream NEEDS!&#8217;
The Stars on Mars runner-up kicks off her 14-date co-headlining tour with singer-rapper-DJ Shygirl on October 28 at the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.
