If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what of an emoji? While Chris Brown is in full promo mode for his upcoming album, Royalty, it seems he still has time to take take shots on social media.

Jas Prince recently posted a picture of Travis Scott on Instagram to promote a party the two were having this past Sunday night. While the response has since been deleted, The Shade Room comes through with a screen grab of Chris Brown commenting on the photo with a poop emoji.

Now, Brown has never been one to mince his words or bite his tongue, but this seems all sorts of petty and subliminal, particularly since the comment has since been deleted. As to why CB would be harboring ill will towards Scott, all signs point to the rumors circulating earlier this fall that Scott was dating Brown's ex Rihanna.

Despite evidence on the contrary, and Scott's own avoidance of the issue, it seems merely speculation is enough to get dragged into a beef with Breezy. Adding to it, Scott is set to go on the road with Rihanna early next year and into May. Brown had tension with Drake in years past over similar rumors so while it's just a guess as to why he slipped into Prince's comments, there is a precedent for such behavior.
