<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/chris-brown-says-nba-allegedly-disinvited-him-from-all-star-game">Chris Brown</a> was excluded from the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game due to alleged sponsor concerns from Ruffles. The singer shared his frustration on Instagram, posting screenshots of his invitation and uniform mock-up.
<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/meek-mill-slammed-for-asking-how-fans-in-africa-listen-to-his-music">Meek Mill</a> urged fans to buy Rap Snacks and defended Brown on X on Feb. 18.&nbsp;
&ldquo;That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important we support Rap Snacks,&rdquo; Meek Mill tweeted. &ldquo;I [love Rap Snacks] over Ruffles. [They&rsquo;re] Black-owned and taste better!&rdquo; The food company previously partnered with the Philadelphia rapper on hot honey-flavored potato chips.

The NBA and Ruffles addressed Chris Brown's exclusion claims with official statements.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Ruffles had no input on the Celebrity Game rosters,&rdquo; said NBA Spokesperson.

<a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/chris-brown-says-free-tory-lanez-hes-a-solid-dude">Chris Brown</a> has never been one to mince words, so it's no surprise that after being allegedly disinvited to the NBA's 2024 All-Star game, he took to social media to share his disappointment.&nbsp;
On Saturday (Feburary 17), Brown went on Instagram to explain his side of the story. The singer posted two screenshots on his stories, one being the supposed "offical" invitiation and the other regarding a mockup of the potential uniform. The 34-year-old singer claims that his inviation was allegedly rescinded because of the sporting event's sponsers.&nbsp;
Brown believes that Ruffles (one the event's sponsors), was behind the move: &ldquo;I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn&rsquo;t do IT because of their sponsors, like RUFFLES,&rdquo; Brown wrote via his Instagram Stories. &ldquo;At this point I&rsquo;m sick of people bothering me and I&rsquo;m tired of living in the f*cking past.&rdquo;
However, Ruffles released a statement shortly thereafter saying they had "no involvment" with the decision.&nbsp;

Drake, Chris Brown, GloRilla, Bryson Tiller + More New Music You Might Have Missed This Week

Chris Brown 

<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/chris-brown-claps-back-at-fan-after-calling-him-out-for-having-multiple-baby">Chris Brown</a> and Migos have been <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/gucci-mane-and-t-i-squash-years-long-beef">feuding</a> for six years now that started with a parking lot fight over Quavo's interest in Karruche Tran, Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend. Quavo and Brown were seen sitting together at Paris Fashion Week, sparking rumors of a truce. However, Brown quickly addressed the speculation, stating that the beef was still ongoing but not worth interfering with his money.
&nbsp;
https://www.instagram.com/p/C2Z7mRQAPFq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
&nbsp;
Brown would clear up the confusion with the following comment under<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2Z7mRQAPFq/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=8de539a0-f762-433d-bfb6-9063687f8c4e"> The Neighborhood Talk Instagram post</a>:
&ldquo;Can&rsquo;t pick who u sit by. F&ndash;k all that growth s&ndash;t. Ni&ndash;a not finna fumble my bag for little ni&ndash;a.&rdquo;
Quavo hasn&rsquo;t commented on the seating arrangement or Chris Brown. The last time the two exchanged words was across social media in 2021 over basketball. The two are heavily regarded as some of hip-hop&rsquo;s best basketball players. Brown shared an Instagram story at the time that said: &ldquo;They knew who not to ask for on that 2 on 2 basketball. I would&rsquo;ve cooked Quavo and Jack! On my soul! Guess they wanted a smoke-free zone.&rdquo;
Quavo would respond to Brown at the time with, &ldquo;Chris Brown ain&rsquo;t cookin' NAN call next ni&ndash;a.&rdquo;
Chris Brown was spotted sitting next to Quavo at an event, just a week after being seen with Quavo's ex,&nbsp;<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/yg-wants-to-spin-the-block-on-saweetie-following-breakup-rumors">Saweetie</a>, at a basketball game. Quavo addressed his relationship with Saweetie on the 2022 song "<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/petty-or-messy-internet-reacts-to-quavos-video-recreating-saweetie-elevator-scene">Messy</a>" from his <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/quavo-continues-to-mourn-takeoffsometimes-i-cry-myself-to-sleep">duo album with the late-Takeoff</a>, Only Built For Infinity Links.
Chris Brown and the Migos collaborated on several records before the feud began, which include French Montana's "<a href="https://youtu.be/9dz6aDhAqmY?si=aBL0AsdfiffCZSTc">Moses</a>" and "<a href="https://youtu.be/PC8nERf9OSw?si=XtoIGouKyP8d2H6_">Hold Up</a>," and Kid Ink's "<a href="https://youtu.be/wROiQkB5-vM?si=dWg3Ate27tksOl2Y">Bounce</a>."
Fellow Migos member Offset talked about still grieving the loss of Takeoff and the future of the Migos on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/hot97">Ebro in the Morning</a> while promoting his new solo album, Set It Off,&nbsp; last October. Offset reminded Ebro that he didn&rsquo;t respect them early on. &ldquo;You was like hatin on the sauce &hellip; you was saying some crazy s&ndash;t, too, &ldquo; Offset told Ebro.&nbsp;

In a lengthy statement, Kiely said, “Let him come out with his own record—so genius, so captivating that it makes us all forget HE BEATS WOMEN.”Chris Brown responded, “Obviously you are at a point in your life where either you are very broke or broken… The fact you think you have to speak negatively about me makes [you] look so lame… Your life and career must suck right now. Minding your business would’ve been best but I guess you don’t have a business or a real job that makes u financially stable.

The West Coast rapper also said Chris Brown “beat up the wrong b*tch” (referring to Rihanna). Blueface said,“I understand the frustration fool for me being in the situation. I ain’t even gonna trip on you because the message you’re trying to send is way off,” he said. “The bitch hit me, it’s funny. I hit her back, it’s fuck Blueface… but you gotta play the cards that you were dealt.” In addition,“Only thing I disagree with is you posting all these random white people, and me and the bitch and trying to distract from your thing. You gotta stand on it, cuh. If you beat the bitch up, you beat the bitch up,” he said. Before he signed off, Blueface said that Chris Brown “beat up the wrong b*tch.” Take a look:https://www.instagram.com/reel/Coxzc2ENLHD/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

On Tuesday (Nov. 22), <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/11/23/jordin-sparks-chris-brown-american-music-awards-amas-hate-boo-kelly-rowland/">TMZ</a> caught up with Sparks in New York City and asked her about the controversy. “You love asking me about Chris, but we love Chris,” the “American Idol” season six winner said. “He should’ve been there.”The controversy escalated over the weekend when Brown won Favorite Male R&B Artist at the award show but was absent. Kelly Rowland had to defend him on stage while accepting the award on his behalf when the crowd booed him. She told the crowd to "quiet down" before she praised him as "an incredible performer." Over the years there has been so much backlash regarding the "Under The Influence" hitmaker, including him beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.When TMZ asked her if people should move on from that altercation, Sparks responded with, “Honestly, I think that shouldn’t even be a conversation anymore. It’s about his talent. They shouldn’t have cancelled the performance. That’s how I feel about it.”The "No Air" singer continued, “People deserve to be able to grow, and learn and be able to live their life without things hanging over them. Everybody deserves that. Him especially.”On Monday (Nov. 21), TMZ also caught Rowland outside and she doubled down on her support for Brown. “I believe that grace is very real, and we all need a dose of it. “Before we point fingers at anybody, we should realize how grateful we are for every moment that we get, even for our own things that we have.” The Destiny's Child alum said."I just think it’s important to remember to be human. We are humans," she added.
