Chris Brown Says He's Retiring From Music "I'm Tired Of Being Famous For A Mistake" Do you think He will walk away?

The weight of constantly having to deal with the fallout of his domestic violence case has become to much for Chris Brown to deal with.

Brown was convicted in August 2009 of assaulting then girlfriend Rihanna in February of that same year. He was sentenced to five years probation and community service. Since that point he's been constantly reminded by the media and fans of his mistake.

Today, Chris announced via Twitter that he will probably retire from music at the age of 24, when his sixth studio album is released.

"Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent," Chris wrote. "I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!"

Do you think Chris will walk away from the game?

Comment by Rizza on August 12, 2013 at 6:53pm: Also we put chris brown down , and I do get it this brother have problems from way back before he even became famous, not because he is famous his problems is gonna go away, it can even get worst because the music industry is not therapy sessions , sometime with the worst possible scenario of drugs, alcohol and sex. Again instead of tossing stones at this man, lets hope someone intervene and give this brother guidance that he so badly needs. You see people there is also a lot of chis browns every where in society, even in this room as we speak. There are men who constantly beat there women, cheat , do drugs etc, but chris brown is a mirror to some of you people who fall under these categories. All I'm saying is we can beat tis young man up, but am sure some of you have sons and nephews that are like chris brown but you dare not bring my family in this, just pray for him and wish the best

Comment by Rizza on August 12, 2013 at 6:33pm: And to push the envelope even more further, we as black people need to understand this, though some of us may be well off than others we should not rub it in our brothers and sisters faces, because some of us may have money but tons of us have no wealth, and that's a big difference, we are the biggest consumers,and we are powerless because we don't support and teach each other, that's why we got a particular individual name boots who lives through Rhianna and all she talks about is how much money she makes, but you are still powerless because you don't have wealth, and as long as we keep putting our own people down we will always have no success as a race .

Comment by Rizza on August 12, 2013 at 6:20pm: To all the people talking about being rich , it's nice to be well off and comfortable, and some of you are right , that the rich enhance the riche every day, but what some of you fail to realise is that they do it off the backs of poor people that sweat and bleed every day for a penny being rich transcends into different things, but a lot people in here use the money aspect of being rich, but my question to you people are you rich in health, no one talks about that, if your not healthy how can you enjoy your riches, a fool and his money will always part. That's because you people put so much emphasis into money money money, that your very being of yourself is ignored, and when you get sick all that money can't save you.

Comment by HandsomeMan on August 12, 2013 at 12:43pm: It have nothing to do with Rihanna. She moved on and is in Barbados enjoying her Crop Over and helping her people.

She is surrounded by strong Caribbean people and a good PR team.

Comment by HandsomeMan on August 12, 2013 at 12:41pm: Get a hold of your life Chris. Everybody go through difficult times.

Start doing some charity work and the public will be on your side again. Its the way America works.

Good points @Boots. Rich people think positive and it is the reason why they had the drive to get rich. Not talking about lottery winners and trust fund babies.

Rich will look at Chris situation for what it is. An incident between him and Riri should not be lingering forever even if the public is on your back.

R Kelly who messed with an underage girl and he can get pass that. A domestic incident like this, he can get pass too. He need to stick with positive people to figure out how to get there. He is talented but need guidance and how to fix the situation. Most of these guys end up broke because they don't surround themselves with positive people on how to keep the money flowing and stay out of trouble.

His record is proof he is not doing much to get there.

Crying like a baby will not get him anywhere.
