Chris Brown Is Happy That He Lost Weight

After Chris Brown was released from jail, he was looking hefty. Days after he was released, the R&B heartthrob was obliterated on social media for his massive weight gain. According to the singer, he wasn't too happy about his post-prison look. In an interview with Extra, Breezy touched on his decision to lose weight and return back to pure form.

"My normal weight is like 180," he said. "I was 215 when I got out of jail. After that I was so conscious, I couldn't even fit my jeans, none of my clothes. I was scared to go out, I was like 'Man, people gonna see me, I look fat.' So after a while, I went and played a lot of basketball, a lot of cardio. 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."

The singer was also ostracized for his new hairdo, drawing comparisons to Sinbad. This resulted in Brown seeking a complete transformation in hopes of returning back to his peak. Now, the singer is back with his new album X and is a free man.

"[It was] a humbling experience," he said about serving time in jail. "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. And with me, it's always been positivity, but now it's more of not just speaking it into existence but actually doing it."

Brown's X is out now.
