Singer Chris Brown took to his Twitter page to express his extreme displeasure with stores, including a Walmart in Wallingford, CT, that are not visibly stocking his new album, Graffiti.
“the[y] didnt even have my album in the back… not on shelves, saw for myself,” he wrote in a series of tweets over the weekend. “im tired of this s—. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the f— do i gotta do.”
He continued: “im not biting my tongue about sh– else… the industry can kiss my ass.
WTF… yeah i said it and i aint retracting s–”
“we talked to the managers and the didnt even know anything. wow!!! but they had alicia keys album ready for release for this tuesday comin … the manager told me that when there are new releases its mandatory to put em on the shelves.. BUT NO SIGN OF #GRAFFITI. BS.”
“no disprespect to alicia at all,” he continued. “just givin an example to whos album is loaded and ready to go next week.”


Okay, the world, or the US. is so f-cking stupid. i went to buy 6 copies of the Cd today in target & guess what???? THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT.

Why can't we just get over this??? he told his sorry's. he did everything. damn. :(

Not the best written article, but:

Chris Brown is no MechanicalDummy. Not anymore, anyway.

Following in the footsteps of Miley Cyrus, the beleaguered R&B artist has shut down his Twitter account, a day after microblogging his butt off about Walmart and other big-box haters not stocking his new album.

Which he shouldn't really have worried about, because Walmart is, in fact, carrying Graffiti. And apparently, displaying it prominently.

"We are surprised at the comments online," read a statement released by the store today. "All Walmart stores nationwide have carried the CD since its release, including the Wallingford, [Conn.], store mentioned in the post. This store actually sold through its initial shipment over the weekend. The majority of our stores today are showing they do have copies available."

Brown tweeted yesterday: "JUST WAS AT WALMART IN wallingford CT,844 north colony.. the didnt even have my album in the back... not on shelves, saw for myself...we talked to the managers and the didnt even know anything. wow!!! but they had alicia keys album ready for release for this tuesday comin...no disprespect to alicia at all.. just givin an example to whos album is loaded and ready to go next week."

Yes, how dare the manager know all about the upcoming album release from 12-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys!

Anyway, earlier today, Brown signed off with this tweet: "I WANNA THANK MY FANS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. I LOVE YALL. GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Now when you click on his handle, @MechanicalDummy, all you get is "Sorry, that page doesn't exist." His complementary website is still alive and well, but feel free to mourn the loss of Brown's Twitter account on ChrisBrownDeletesHisTwitterAccount.ridiculous.

Having been released on the U.S. on Dec. 8, first-week sales figures for Graffiti are due out Wednesday.
