Chris Brown recently shared insights on how he copes with the pressures of fame, revealing a personal routine that helps him stay balanced. While touring Europe, the R&B artist posted photos on Instagram showing him wandering city streets alone at night. In his caption, he explained that these solitary outings make him feel “human and normal,” which is essential for his mental well-being since he can’t freely walk around during the day. Brown emphasized that staying connected to ordinary experiences helps him remain grounded. He also added, “Being secluded from some parts of everyday life activities will drive you insane being isolated all the time. Cook, remain humble and grateful!”

Despite focusing on staying grounded and maintaining his mental health, Brown’s tour has been overshadowed by legal issues. He was arrested last month in Manchester in connection to an alleged 2023 assault at a London nightclub. Charged with grievous bodily harm with intent, Brown was initially denied bail and kept in custody until June 13, just before his Breezy Bowl tour began in Manchester. Later, the court reversed the decision, allowing him to be released after posting bail close to $7 million.

As part of the bail terms, Brown must stay at a fixed address in the UK and surrender his passport, although he’s permitted to travel for his performances abroad. The alleged victim, music producer Abe Diaw, accused Brown of a violent attack at the Tape nightclub in London, including hitting him with a tequila bottle and stomping on his head, which caused him to lose consciousness. Diaw also filed a lawsuit seeking damages for “severe and lasting injuries.” The status of the lawsuit is unknown, and criminal proceedings are still pending.
