In light of the recent gang affiliation allegations made by TMZ, a video of Chris Brown chopping it up with Sway Calloway on Sept. 11 was recently released today, Sept. 29. The singer ironically addresses his connection with the Bloods, denying his membership and explains how his relationship with them came about.

“When you’re in LA and you’re around people, you meet everybody — you meet Crips, you meet Bloods, especially in this industry that I’m in,” said Brown during the MTV interview. “I’m not in the Country world. I’m not in the all-the-way Pop world. You in Hip Hop and R&B and all of that meshes together, especially when you’re in these events or these places where everybody can be there. I'm cordial."

Despite all the drama surrounding him in the media, his album X still remains at the top of the charts.
