The Freaky Friday singer, who is currently on the European leg of his new tour, called out his record label in a row over lyrics to his new single
Chris Brown has blasted his record label on social media as he begins the European leg of his Breezy Bowl XX Tour. The American singer posted an Instagram story in which he accused the label of sending out the wrong lyrics to his new single, Holy Blindfold.
He said: “Someone at the label has sent out the wrong lyric sheet to the music outlets so they have some crazy a** lyrics out there right now for Holy Blindfold.”
Brown, known for singing Freaky Friday and No Guidance, added: “Please ignore them and they will change it ASAP! I’m sorry I even have to write this message. The label should be more professional and make sure they actually check with the artist (me) before they even do some dumb s*** like this!”
Holy Blindfold was released on June 13th and was produced by Jonathan Bellion and Monsters & Strangerz. Marcus Lomax and Jordan K Johnson also worked on the song, released under RCA Records.
Fans took to X to react to the Instagram story, with one writing: “Chris Brown calling RCA Records out for sending the wrong lyric sheet out for his new single Holy Blindfold was not what I was expecting on release day.” Another posted: “Wow! They had one job to do. They have us singing the wrong lyrics…”

There are still tickets available to Brown’s London, Cardiff, Manchester, and Birmingham shows this month, as well as his Glasgow and Manchester concerts in July.
Last month, Brown was freed on bail by a court in London after being charged with inflicting an “unprovoked attack” in a nightclub in 2023. This allowed him to begin his world tour as part of his bail conditions.
He paid a £5 million security fee to the court as bail after being arrested the week prior and charged with grievous bodily harm. Brown had allegedly attacked a producer with an alcohol bottle at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair.
Brown had been held in custody since his arrest in Manchester, and after his bail hearing posted on social media: “From the cage to the stage!”
The singer’s last UK show will be at Manchester’s Co-Op Live on July 3rd, after which he will head to Paris, France, before performing in Portugal.
His US leg will begin in Miami, Florida, at the end of July and he will also put on shows in Detroit, Washington DC, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, and Atlanta.
As the tour kicked off, Brown shared photographs of him exploring Amsterdam, where he performed on June 8th. He captioned the post: “Fun fact: I like to sneak out by myself when I’m in different cities. It helps me feel human and normal. That’s really important for my mental due to the fact that I just can’t walk around freely during the day.”
The singer added: “Keeps me grounded. Being secluded from some parts of everyday life activities will drive you insane being isolated all the time. Cook, remain humble and grateful!”
