Chris Brown Take Aim at Huge Female Star as Album Branded 'a Piece of S**t'

Brown blasted Pitchfork’s 1.3 score and a viral Zara Larsson screenshot was later exposed as a parody post.

  • On Tuesday, May 12, Pitchfork gave Chris Brown's new album BROWN a 1.3 out of 10 rating, describing it as "soulless" and "a real piece of sh*t." Brown responded on Instagram Stories, telling detractors to listen to "Zara Larsson or somebody" instead.
  • A viral screenshot featuring Larsson's alleged response to Brown received over 2.2 million views and nearly 125,000 likes on Wednesday, May 13, but originated from parody account PobBase rather than the verified Pop Base entertainment outlet.
  • In a February interview, Larsson explained she blocks artists she considers "abusers" on Spotify, adding "you certainly wouldn't find, like, a Chris Brown song." In 2016, she rejected Kid Ink's 2015 single "Hotel," which featured Brown.
  • Larsson has not publicly commented on this week's events through verified social channels or press statements; her silence stands as her strongest response amid the social media frenzy.
  • Brown is preparing for a U.S. tour with superstar singer Usher while facing a pending trial in the United Kingdom later this year for allegedly assaulting music producer Amadou Abe Diaw in a London nightclub.
