Tinashe is open to settling her recent issue Chris Brown after the controversial R&B singer went public with her career.
Tinashe, 30, spoke to TMZ about potentially crushing the drama after her televised appearance Zach Sang show. Earlier this month, Tinashe opened up about how she felt her then-record label, RCA, pressured her to work with Brown, 30, on 2015’s “Player.” He subsequently rejected her online, but Tinashe told TMZ : “I don’t think he watched the full video.”
“It is what it is. It’s all good,” she said on Wednesday, September 20.[I’m] focused on the future.”
When asked if she was interested in making amends, Tinashe said, “I would talk to him if he wants to reach out. I’ll talk to him. It’s all love. It’s okay. We are trying to be positive and move on to bigger things.”
Tinashe also clarified that while she may not perform “Player” again, this is no disrespect to Brown. “We’re doing all new music,” she said, referring to her new album – BB/Ang3l – which was released on September 8.
The tension arose on September 12 when Tinashe spoke to the host Zach Sang about her decision to leave RCA in 2019. She credited her 2015 duet to R Kelly (“Let’s Be Real Now”, which appeared on his album The buffet) and the collaboration with Brown as one of the reasons behind her departure.
“You think that’s what I wanted [do those songs]? I’m literally blocking that R. Kelly song out of my head. I forget that even exists. That’s so embarrassing,” she said. “That’s so surreal that I even have a song with R. Kelly.”
Tinashe put it down to being young – “I was probably 20” – and not having much control over her career. When it came time to release “Player,” RCA insisted on getting Brown on the track. “We all wanted it to be this big moment, this big single, so I feel like in their minds they were saying, ‘You need this support,’ and he was their biggest artist that they had on rhythm radio at the time . she said. “For me, I was like, ‘Well, this is a pop song, so I really don’t feel like we should put Chris on it.’ That doesn’t matter to me, but I don’t know. Hindsight is 20/20.”
While Tinashe’s comments made headlines, Brown responded with a fiery response on social media. “NAME 5 TINASHE SONGS or die. EVERYONE DEAD,” he wrote online, per Mood.
‘She is full of that evil. There is no such thing as a Shawty career,” he continued. “What’s even more embarrassing is that she worked with all these people and none of us were able to save her career.”
