Eliot Lee Hazel/RCA RecordsChris Brown is speaking up on the weight he gained while spending 108 days in a Los Angeles County jail. The singer revealed how it affected him after he was released in June.
“My normal weight is, like, 180,” Brown says in an interview with Extra‘s Mario Lopez. “I was 215 when I got out of jail. After that I was so conscious, I couldn’t even fit in my jeans, none of my clothes. I was scared to go out. I was like, ‘Man, people gonna see me; I look fat.'”
Brown then revealed how he was able to get back into shape. “I went and played a lot of basketball, a lot of cardio,” he says. “Then I did the ‘New Flame’ video; we rehearsed for that, the BET Awards, couple other shows. I was just always dancing, always dancing, trying to get my body back in shape.”
Aside from his weight gain, Breezy reveals that being incarcerated was a “humbling experience.”
“It was definitely one of the things I’ll never forget. I think for me, it’s now about what’s the purpose and what’s the goal that Chris Brown as a person and Chris Brown as an artist is trying to portray,” he says. “And with me, it’s always been positivity, but now it’s more of not just speaking it into existence but actually doing it.”
