Chris Brown told a story that seemingly detailed a bizarre outing from Kanye West, without mentioning him by name.

The Grammy-winning singer, 34, appeared Sunday on the R&B MONEY Podcast in a segment called I Ain’t Saying No Names, in which the guest tells an amusing story about a person without naming them.

The Tappahannock, Virginia native told the story about a ‘huge artist’ who said they ‘wanted to go out to the club with’ him and his entourage.

Brown said he was initially optimistic about the outing: ‘I’m like, “Alright, cool, meet me at the crib, we gonna go to the club.” It’s n**** night, it’s turn-up night.’

The Forever vocalist noted that another prominent artist was slated to take the stage that evening, ‘and that artist’s song was the number one song in the country.’

The Run It! vocalist said that despite an exciting atmosphere, the mystery artist was uninspired on the night out.

‘We get in the club, I make sure we got the whole section full of women,’ Brown said, adding that the mystery artist was ‘looking around.’

He continued: ‘The song come on, the other artist is onstage, starts singing the song, the whole building erupt. I’m talking about it erupts – everybody – girls in our section, they going crazy.

‘I look over to this person … not a smirk, not a head nod – nothing.’

Brown said that the mystery artist (believed to be West) then vacated their section and relocated to the DJ booth where the featured artist was performing the song.

He said that the mystery artist was nodding his head along to the rhythm of the track being performed, before taking the microphone away from the featured artist.

Brown said he deduced that the mystery artist was overcome by ego, artistry, or a combination of both after he derailed the show from the featured performer.

‘So I’m thinking this artist is about to do some songs,’ Brown said. ‘I’m like, “OK, he got the itch.” Some artists can’t take it, you know, they self centered though, they got main character syndrome.’

Brown said the mystery artist then went on ‘a 45-minute rant’ about nonsense, destroying the good time club patrons were having prior to his commandeering of the show.

‘I’m talking about talking, I’m talking about saying all of everything about nothing,’ Brown said. ‘It’s so disappointing, when I was in there, I started looking around.’

He said that the club’s vibe went from upbeat to ‘the waiting room in hell’ and that attendees ‘turned into psychopath people’ after 45 minutes of the mystery artist’s nonsensical rambling.

‘The topic of what his rant was about, it was like ‘What the f***, put the music back on!’ Brown said.

Brown said he left the main area of the venue to ‘smoke a blunt’ and escape the torturous ranting for about a half-hour, but by the time he returned, the mystery artist had taken ‘over the club’ and most of the women in their section had departed.

Brown said he was about to leave when the mystery artist made a remark that especially put him off.

‘The last thing I hear, “Such and such ain’t stick their finger in my booty. I don’t even play that way” – I said, “Yeah, I’m out this motherf***er.”‘

The comment could be the giveaway that the mystery artist was West, as West’s ex-girlfriend Amber Rose claimed eight years ago that West was partial to anal stimulation when they had relations.

Rose tweeted January 27, 2016: ‘Awww @kanyewest are u mad I’m not around to play in ur a**hole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyA**B****.’

Brown said that he chastised a mutual friend for being a sycophant yes man who couldn’t reign in the mystery artist, then departed.

‘I left the club, I ain’t answer no phone calls – I’m going home,’ he said. ‘I ain’t gonna say no name.’

A number of social media users speculated the venue was the Los Angeles nightclub 1OAK in February of 2016; and that the featured artist at the event was Yo Gotti, who had a chart-topping hit at the time with the track Down in the DM.

Brown and West have past professionally collaborated on West’s albums such as The Life of Pablo (2016), Donda (2021) and Vultures 1 (2024).
