Chris Brown is reportedly down one member of his security team, per TMZ. Following a situation that allegedly escalated into gunfire outside his Tarzana home on Friday, the individual taken into custody has since been let go from his role. Authorities shared with the outlet that the man had been working as part of Chris Brown’s security but is no longer employed by the artist.
The situation unfolded after an encounter involving a woman. According to reports, she arrived at Chris’ residence without notice, which sources say happens often. This time, though, she refused to leave, and tensions quickly rose. It has been claimed that she attempted to drive over the guard’s foot, which led to him firing his weapon. The woman later contacted police, alleging that shots were fired toward her car. The security guard was subsequently arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon as well as vandalism.
After everything surfaced, Chris Brown went on Instagram to respond to the speculation surrounding the incident, essentially denying any involvement. “AT THIS POINT THIS PATTERN IS OLD. I’m looking at the news like the rest of yall wondering when and where the hell this happened. I been in my rib this whole time. Ain’t heard a gunshot, police car or anything. DONT ATTACH MY NAME YO NONE OF THIS BULLSHT. I got sht to do!”
In other updates related to Chris Brown, the artist recently shared the official tracklist for his forthcoming album, Brown. The reveal follows the release of his single “Fallin” alongside Leon Thomas and the announcement of the “Raymond & Brown” tour with Usher. The project is scheduled to drop this Friday and is set to include appearances from NBA YoungBoy, Vybz Kartel, Sexyy Red, GloRilla, among others.
