The controversial—yet highly successful—R&B singer is still fuming.

Chris Brown has a bone to pick with Ruffles—again. After calling out the potato chip brand for allegedly playing a role in getting him disinvited from playing in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game, he was back in his bag on Sunday (February 18). Taking to Instagram, Brown ripped into Ruffles, claiming the company’s statement in which it denied culpability was all for show.

“@RUFFLES,” he wrote, “I guess yall tryna save face now! STAND ON BUSINESS. Don’t try to make it look like I’m trippin. YOU AND THE NBA representatives know exactly what yall are doin! I HAVE NO REASON TO LIE. YALL KNOW I DON’T CHASE CLOUT! The only reason they responded is because of all the team breezy fans flooding they s###. Stop f#### playing with me! SEE HOW FAKE THIS S### IS… COWARDS!! YALL KNOW DAMN WELL I AIN’T LYING BECAUSE I NEVER BE ON THIS TYPE OF TIME. These b###### (@ruffles) tryna save face!”

Chris Brown made his allegations on Friday (February 16) via Instagram. As he explained to his 145 million followers, “I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year!” he told his 145 million followers. “Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do IT because of their sponsors like RUFFLES. At this point I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m tired of living in the past f###ing past. I POSTED THE EMAILS SO YALL COULD SEE. The NBA still was tryna get me to come and sit court side …. NOT F###ING HAPPENING. I go where I’m appreciated.”

The Ruffles brand responded to Brown’s latest controversy in a statement sent to AllHipHop. It read: “Ruffles sponsored last night’s NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, however Ruffles did not have any involvement in, nor visibility to, any player decisions or celebrity invite discussions.”

Chris Brown clearly begs to differ. Read through the posts above.
