Chris Brown is well known as a man who speaks his mind freely, but according to fellow hip-hop superstar, Kevin McCall, the "Back To Sleep" crooner is a total and complete phony. Still, Mack Wilds would strongly disagree...
During a recent Twitter rant earlier this month, McCall put Breezy on total blast:
@kevinmccall: "I'm just tired of fake people getting so much glory then when you try to defend yourself the weak gang up on the strong. I love to fight so... PS I don't really care for #teambreezy please never buy my album or support me. The rest of the Leaders of the world already do. #fame."
@kevinmccall: "Don't follow me. Lol it's simple he needs fans I don't. I'm not weak minded like that I got in the industry at 25. Already knew who I was... I promise he will NEVER respond. Or resolve the issue like men. #coward."
@kevinmccall: "you can't diss a guy who is self sufficient and does not want you to follow them OR be a fan or support their movement. Music is 10% of me... I woke up today had bible study and prayed. And I still don't care about #teambreezy my offer still stands do NOT support me please I beg you."
@kevinmccall: "The media eat it up too haha two black men fighting. One dark one light. One younger one older. One rich one from watts(poor) willie lynch?"
Brown's eventual response was VERY heated (via bossip.com). But here is his overall opinion on the matter:

Still, several people within the industry will always have Brown's back -- including the 26-year-old "The Wire" heartthrob (Wilds).
During a recent Don't Be Scared podcast interview, the "Love in the 90z" singer explains:
"Chris is my boy, I love that n*gga to death. He is who he is and you either love him or hate him. You can look on his Instagram, you definitely do see him wildin' every now and then but the majority of it is either art, something positive or something about his daughter... It's crazy because this is the kind of guy that I've always seen him as but now that he has a daughter it emits out of him in a crazy radiant way. To see how loving he is - I think people pick at him and they're not ready for what comes behind it."
Do Music Times readers agree -- has fatherhood made Brown a better man?
After breaking things off romantically with Barbadian pop sensation, Rihanna, several years ago, the "Loyal" crooner began dating aspiring model, Karrueche Tran. Brown ultimately cheating on the 27-year-old Instagram beauty with Nia Guzman, and they share an adorable one-year-old daughter together named Royalty. The 26-year-old hip-hop superstar dedicated his seventh studio album to the little girl. Although the record received overall mixed reviews from music critics, it still debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (United States), selling 184,000 units. As of March (2016), Royalty has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for over 500,000 copies sold.
Meanwhile, rapper 50 Cent just premiered a new remix featuring the "Don't Wake Me Up" singer entitled "I'm The Man." The original track (produced by Sonny Digital) was included on Fifty's The Kanan Mixtape. Brown's fresh hook replaces the background interlude that was first beat by Sonny D. Another full (emotional) verse from Breezy flows with Fifty's fast and fierce rhymes. Check it out:
