Chris Brown breaks records before Breezy Bowl Tour

According to Pope Core, Chris Brown now has 133.5 million units. The company shared the news on X, formerly Twitter. The celebrity blog posted:

Fans were quick to flood online with their two cents against the post. Chris Brown earned his recent certifications from the RIAA on 6 June.

The celebrated star received plaques for ‘Loyal’ and ‘Forever’, 8x platinum.

Chris Brown’s ‘Kiss Kiss’ and ‘Go Crazy’ were 6x platinum, with ‘New Flame’ and ‘Deuces’ making it to the cut.

The two projects both reached 4x platinum status, making his wave off The Weekend the most RIAA-certified star in terms of digital single sales in the U.S.

Other certifications came from ‘City Girls,’ ‘Should’ve Kissed You,’ ‘Drunk Texting,’ ‘Till I Die,’ and ‘Drunk Texting.’

Surprisingly, the certifications come barely a month after Chris Brown picked up his third diamond plaque for ‘Look at Me Now.’

Chris Brown featured Lil Way and Busta Rhymes.

News of his big wins is making headlines as the star prepares for his anticipated Breeey Bowl XX stadium tour, which is slated for Sunday in Amsterdam.

This will be one of the slots for his European leg before performing in the U.S with his Miami show scheduled for 30 July.

Chris Brown arrested in the UK

However, despite his big wins, he has had his fair share of bad headlines. Last month, he made headlines after he was nabbed and denied bail.

The arrest almost took a toll on his European tour as he was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, with the charges dating back to 2023.

Reports have it that his arrest was tied to an alleged assault incident that happened in a London nightclub.

Despite being denied bail, Chris Brown got his tour back on track on 21 May after he secured a R120 million bond.

After his release, he took to social media with a cryptic caption on Instagram to share that his tour was still on the cards.

However, failure to show up for his performance in the UK will result in his bail being forfeited, and his court appearance is set for 20 June.

Chris Brown’s recent legal woes undoubtedly stem from his tumultuous legal history, which includes a string of grave charges.
