Chris Brown temporarily deleted his Instagram account over the weekend after the singer got dragged for commenting on steamy photos between ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran and her boyfriend.

Underneath a photo set of Tran and Victor Cruz sharing kisses and loving glances in the pool, the “Heartbreak on a Full Moon” record maker commented “GOALS” and posted another remark using just emojis: a man walking away from a couple.

The result was an epic dragging from fans.

“Embarrassing! Move On Dude,” someone wrote.

“She upgraded 😂😂,” another commented.

“Chris is defo crying,” someone else said.

“Damn he obsessed,” a separate user wrote of the couple who dated for three years before Tran allegedly dumped him after he fathered a child with another woman. Things got so bad that last year, Tran even obtained a restraining order against him.

It seems things became too much for Brown as he deactivated his Instagram account for a time. And although his page had been reactivated by Monday, fans continued to drag him for his dramatic response.

“Now I know damn well Chris Brown didn’t delete his Instagram because of that 🙄😢,” someone tweeted.

“Chris Brown SO hurt he had to delete his Instagram🤣 you n—–s will push your dream girl right into the arms of someone else, Then CRY 🤦🏾‍♀️,” said another user.

“I’m pissed at Chris Brown,” another wrote. “Like I love you papi but why tf did you have to delete ya Instagram over Karrueche. 🙄😒 They been broken up for like 3 years.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
