Chris Brown has announced on Twitter that it's likely he will quit making music once his forthcoming album is complete.
The singer made the admission on the social networking site, whilst also alluding that his decision has been influenced by the reputation he earnt himself following the domestic violence charge he recieved after beating up Rihanna in 2009.
Don't worry mainstream America.After this X album, it'll probably be my last album.

Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent. I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!

It's fair to say the singer has found it difficult to remain out of the media spotlight for too long and has often found himself entagled in high profile cases.
His track record not only includes the domestic violence charge against Rihanna, it also features the neck tattoo which seems to depict her injured face, dressing up as a terrorist for Halloween, getting involved in a car park brawl with Frank Ocean and more recently a hit and run incident.
So it's fairly easy to understand why he's not always remembered for his music.
