I Have Been Doing Music Without Help for 20 Years – Chris Brown

American R&B star Chris Brown has voiced his frustration over ongoing comparisons with other artists, insisting that his two-decade music career has been built without external support.

In a post shared on his Instagram Stories, the Grammy-winning singer urged fans and critics to stop pitting him against fellow musicians, noting that his longevity and success have come without industry backing or media favoritism.

“I wish y’all stop comparing me to other artists and saying me vs someone else. Until one of these artists do all the sht by themselves with no help and the media constantly f*king with them, then come holla at me,” Brown wrote.

The ‘Under the Influence’ singer added that, beyond the fame, he is simply working to provide for himself and his family. “I do this to make a living. I’ve been consistent for 20 years,” he said.

Now 35, Chris Brown has often been compared to musical icons like Michael Jackson and Usher, particularly for his vocal prowess and dance ability. He has also drawn parallels with artists such as T-Pain, Trey Songz, Mario, Akon, and Nelly over the course of his career.

Despite public scrutiny and past controversies, Brown continues to maintain a loyal fan base and a prolific discography, with his blend of R&B, pop, and hip-hop earning him both commercial success and cultural influence.

His comments come amid fresh debates on social media over legacy, artistry, and influence within the music industry.
