Chris Brown Deletes His Twitter: Blames Wal-Mart For "Hiding" His CDs In Stores!

On Friday, I seen Chris blowing off some steam in a rant on Twitter. When I heard news of his Twitter account being deleted I had a hunch this had something to do with it...Mind you, I personally think Chris should have deleted it a long time ago, or had his people handle the account because this is NOT his 1st rant, and considering his position with the public, he may want to keep all of that to a minimum...With that being said, check out what Chris was ranting about...

"I'm tired of this (crap). Major stores [are] blackballing my CD. Not stockin' the shelves and lying to costumers. What the (eff) do I gotta do . . ."

"WTF . . . yeah I said it and I ain't retracting (crap). I'm not biting my tongue about [this] (crap) . . . the industry can kiss my ass."

"For those people who [are] constantly tweeting me with bull(crap) . . . hop off my ****. [Your] life is pointless. For the young fans: Honestly, sorry for all the cursing. All my [real] fans: Love you . . . [thanks] for everything."

Then, on Saturday night, he added a few messages, after he personally went to a Wal-Mart in Connecticut and couldn't find his album anywhere. He said, quote:

"Just was at Wal-Mart in Wallingford CT (he posted the entire address) they didn't even have my album in the back . . . [or] on shelves, saw for myself. We talked to the managers and they didn't even know anything. Wow!!!"

"The manager told me that when there are new releases it's mandatory to put 'em on the shelves . . . BUT NO SIGN OF 'GRAFFITI'. BS."

Wal-Mart hasn't officially commented on this . . . and neither has any other retailer that is allegedly "blackballing" Chris. (--It sounded like Chris was referring to more than just Wal-Mart, but we haven't heard the names of any other stores.)

But if Chris' album IS being intentionally kept out of stores, chances are it has something to do with the fact that Chris is a convicted woman beater.

A "sales associate" named Gerald Blodgett says, quote, "We're sold out of it. We did have it in stock, but we sold out completely as soon as it hit the shelves."

Wal-Mart also released a statement . . . saying, quote, "We are surprised at the comments online. All Wal-Mart stores nationwide have carried the CD since its release, including the Wallingford store mentioned in the post.

"This store actually sold through its initial shipment over the weekend. The majority of our stores today are showing they do have copies available."

Of course, in this case, Chris should have been GLAD the store didn't have his CD.

Especially since it's NOT selling at a lot of stores. "People" conducted their own investigation and according to their research, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Trans World and Newbury Comics stores nationwide had "Graffiti" in stock.

Many of those stores reportedly said sales had been a lot slower than expected . . . and that Chris' label, Jive Records, had over-shipped the CD to retailers.

Before its release, it was expected to sell between 150,000 and 175,000 copies, but early estimates show that it only sold around 100,000 copies.

Meanwhile, there's also a new group on Twitter called #graffitionracks, where fans are tracking whether or not "Graffiti" is available at their local stores.

People are posting pictures of "Graffiti" on the shelves . . . talking about the album . . . encouraging people to buy it . . . and posting domestic violence statistics.

Chris' last Tweet read: "I WANNA THANK MY FANS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. I LOVE YALL. GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!"


What do you think? Do you think Chris has a right to whine about his album not being on shelves? Have you personally noticed "Graffiti" being missing from one of your local stores?

Or is Chris just being defensive since he was convicted and feels people are "out for him?"

Chris Brown Blasts Rihanna In New Song? / Listen to "Graffiti" FREE!

MTV REPORTS: While their albums are being released just weeks apart, former couple Chris Brown and Rihanna have been making similar promotional rounds recently, with both talking about his February assault on her as well as their LPs. And based on a listen to one of the songs on Brown's upcoming effort, Graffiti — which drops on Tuesday but is available on MTV's The Leak right now — it appears the 20-year-old singer may be speaking much more explicitly about their relationship in his lyrics than he has in the interviews he's done to date.

An old-school-style R&B track "Famous Girl" features a string of provocative lyrics that had blogs and fans chattering as soon as it debuted on The Leak on Tuesday.

After making a reference in the second verse to Young Money rapper Drake and the rumored romance between him and Rihanna ("While we're on Drake/ Say that you're the best he's ever had") — a romance Drake was quick to deny — Brown alludes to "rumors coming" and says he "knows what you keep in shadow."

The singer gets more explicit in the chorus, when he croons, "Since I thought I found my woman/ There were other guys who thought the same thing about it/ Like damn, you let me down, down, down/ 'Cause you're famous, girl, for breaking hearts."
Given the public nature of the couple's breakup and Brown's reluctance to discuss what happened on the night of the assault or what led to the breakdown of their relationship, he gets surprisingly detailed in the second verse, when he quotes a Keri Hilson song ("Keri would've said my love knocks her down"), then nods to Keyshia Cole and Beyoncé tunes with the line "Keyshia would've told me I was sent from heaven/ Sorry, B, I don't wear no halo"). He also seems to suggest that violence between them went both ways ("You were the first to play the game, though") and appears to fess up to a reported earlier violent incident in which he allegedly smashed the window of a car the then-couple were driving after a heated argument ("Sorry I bust the windows out your car"), in this case Jazmine Sullivan's "Bust Your Windows."

Elsewhere in the song, Brown admits, "I might have cheated at the beginning," and cryptically says, "I was wrong for writing 'Disturbia,' " a seeming reference to the Rihanna track of that name, which he co-wrote. He then sings (referencing one of his own songs), "But I meant it in 'Forever'/ We were supposed to be together/ And I can't let you go." He also later owns up to that fact that "Yes I'm famous, girl, for breaking hearts ... didn't know I'd break your heart."

Brown has not yet discussed the song publicly, but he appears to come to grips with the ugly split near the end, when he sings, "Many hearts we should have left unbroken/ Empty words are better left unspoken/ Too much pressure, I wish I was frozen/ Seems we lost our way/ Now I hope you're happy being famous, girl."

A rep for Brown had not granted MTV News' request for comment at press time.

Rihanna has said that a number of the dark songs on her Rated R album deal with the "roller coaster" of emotions she felt in the wake of Brown's assault, referring to the disc as her "mini-movie" for its display of raw honesty and vulnerability. And, she too appears to make direct reference to their relationship on songs like the Ne-Yo-penned "Stupid in Love," on which she sings, "I still love you, but I can't do this/ I may be dumb but I'm not stupid."
