The Untold Story - Breezy revealed that he's filming a documentary on his tour life. “Everything plays in its position, like being held back on the tour... not being able to go out there… Losing like $2-3 million in production and ticket sales, having to cut the show in half because of all the setbacks. But it shows the beauty, the rose through the cracked cement.”(Photo: Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images for H&M)

Chris Loves the Kids - Chris was really disappointed he couldn't speak directly to the youth for his community service. “I’ve been through certain experiences to give them that insight on how to not take that certain path… but I think they wanted it to be more of a labor thing. It’s more of punishment to me than to actually help the community, which is actually backwards, but they make the rules.” (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Ducking the Fade - Drake just might be ducking the fade as Chris revealed that he and Aubrey still don’t see eye to eye, and limited his convo on the MC. “That dude don’t make me no checks. I don’t get no money by talking about him. I didn’t make no record with him. He was in the studio. He was just a fan. He’s not a friend. I’m cool."(Photo: Chelsea Lauren/Getty Images)

50 Shades of Grey - Chris also spoke about the double standards of how Justin Bieber is portrayed in the mainstream in comparison to himself. "Everybody knows this music industry…it’s 1935. It’s just a different face.… Like I can go make the greatest R&B song ever heard but it’s gon' only go so far on rhythmic, maybe touch a Top 40 station. If you get another artist with a different color to sing it, it’s the newest generation of music and, 'Oh my God, it’s so innovative.’ I’m not a hater, I listen to their music too, but it is what it is.”(Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Easy Prey - Breezy’s changed since he roasted Tamar Braxton and Adrienne Bailon for shading him and Karrueche on The Real. “Now I’m getting smart because I’m realizing that when people are in a panic mode and need to sell something or get ratings or whatever, they like, ‘Let’s poke at Chris Brown because we know he’ll bite on it.... So now I’m starting to realize that. It’s still fun to me because I like to entertain.”  (Photo: Noam Galai/Getty Images for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week)

Big Homey - When it comes to this business, Chris Brown has a short list of people he looks up to. “As far as like character, poise and just a sense of themselves, and doesn’t need to fit in or whatever, it is Pharrell. He’s one of my inspirations. Just a stand up dude. Good guy… cool, fly but just doing his own thing on his own time and how he wants to do it and he’s very respectable and understands the game. So I take a lot of inspiration from him and if I really need some advice, I’ll talk to him.”    (Photos from left: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for Power 105.1, Christopher Polk/Getty Images for I am Other)

Business Never Personal - Breezy said most artists aren’t fake but the reality is you can’t have a lot of real friends in this business. “As artists, people are selfish because they want to be the best and it’s only right because everyone wants to be the top person. … Friendship gets in the way of that. So people be fake so they can be cordial. They might be fans of the person, but I’d be lying if I said that everybody don’t envy everybody.(Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images for Live Nation)

A Dream Deferred - Chris also fired back at The-Dream, who took shots at CB for leading the wave of less romance in R&B. “In his case, I don’t know if he gets to do what we do. Sorry to say that, but it’s a different age bracket and it’s a different mentality. I’m just saying he not Chris Brown, or Tyga or Trey Songz. He’s a great writer. I could also be hating and say writers want to be artists but it’s just not made for them. They can write great songs but they just can’t perform them. They can’t sell out arenas.” (Photo: Larry Busacca/WireImage)

No Shade - After his fight with Rihanna, the rumor mill circulated for years that Jay Z tried to put up a few road blocks to slow up the R&B crooner. Chris shot down those accusations. “I never thought Jay was blocking me. I think that was just a rumor because he was so close to the situation because I see him and we’re always cordial. We don’t hang out, but we’re cordial.”(Photo: Rick Diamond/WireImage)

Fan of a Fan - The Breakfast Club joked that Chris and Tyga resemble Rae Sremmurd on the cover of their new album, Fan of a Fan, but the R&B crooner turned bona fide spitter revealed they dug a little deeper for inspiration. “We just wanted to have fun and bring that EPMD, Leaders of the New School, Kris Kross vibe… Our collaboration and how we integrated a lot of songs in the music is just a fu,n fresh way of us being ourselves. I’m not giving you a Chris Brown album… It’s not an alter ego, but it’s a just different side of the music that we can create.”  (Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images for MTV)
