That food ain’t loyal! In a new interview, Chris Brown reveals his weight skyrocketed from 180 pounds to a staggering 215 pounds after serving 108 days in prison. The popular singer, known for his hit songs, faced a significant challenge upon his release, grappling with embarrassment about his appearance. He candidly shared his feelings about being in public, expressing how he felt self-conscious and worried about how others perceived him.
“My normal weight is like 180 [and] I was 215 when I got out of jail,” he explained. “I couldn’t fit in my jeans, fit in my clothes. I was scared to go out. I was like, ‘Man, people will see me and I look fat.’” This statement highlights the emotional toll weight gain can take on a person, particularly someone in the public eye. However, Chris was determined to regain his health and confidence.
Luckily for the 25-year-old, he got right back into his exercise routine and slimmed down. “So after a while I went and played a lot of basketball, a lot of cardio…[and] I was always dancing, always dancing, trying to get my body back,” he shared. His commitment to fitness and a healthier lifestyle serves as an inspiring reminder of the importance of self-care and determination in overcoming personal challenges.
As for his experience in jail, it’s something he’ll always remember. “It was definitely one of the things I’ll never forget. For me, I just learned that nobody’s invincible, everybody’s equal, at the same time no amount of celebrity status, no amount of how many fans love you, no amount of anything can deter you away from the real if you make a mistake and nobody’s excusable,” the performer said. This reflection highlights an important lesson about humility and accountability.
“I think for me it was a humbling experience for me to become a man and mature.” Chris, who was charged with assault in the battery case with ex-girlfriend Rihanna back in 2009, was sent to prison in March after he was kicked out of rehab for violating “internal rules.” He also talked about his therapy sessions with Extra, emphasizing the need for personal growth.
“For me it was more of an opportunity for me to understand my feelings and understand what I was dealing with in my own life,” he admitted. “I didn’t know how to express myself without it being anger or aggression because I felt a certain way, but now it’s more of me being able to control it and understand it.” Chris Brown's journey highlights the importance of mental health and self-awareness, serving as an example for many.
