Chris Brown Shot At Jay-Z: Says Hova Is 'Accepted By White America, He Stabbed Somebody And Sold Drugs'

Chris Brown shot at Jay-Z was released in an interview with JET magazine where he talks about his bad relationship with the press and Hova's great one even though he said Jay-Z sold drugs and stabbed somebody.

The shot fired by Chris Brown might be blown out of proportion, but he states his opinion on how white people have accepted Jay-Z while guys like himself and Tupac are viewed differently.

Chris Brown hasn't been a media favorite since charges were filed against him for beating then girlfriend Rihanna. He has had incidents with "Good Morning America" as well paparazzi in the past. He's got in trouble with the law and criticized when getting back together with the pop-star Rihanna. The shot at Jay-Z was only part of what he had to reveal to JET. He even compared himself to Trayvon Martin.

On whether he relates to the everyday struggles of other young African-American males like Trayvon Martin:

"I identify with Trayvon 100 percent as far as living in 2013 and still dealing with blatant racism. This generation is so used to racism that it's normal; we don't care. We aren't on drugs or catching AIDS, but they still look at us as ni**as."

On whether it's possible to mend his rocky relationship with the press:

"This is something I've been dealing with for the past maybe five years. Anybody with a voice - Tupac, Michael Jackson, the Notorious B.I.G. - gets formatted...except maybe for Jay Z, who is accepted by White America because he shakes hands and kisses babies. No disrespect, because I'm a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that he stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass."

On when he decided to change his attitude:

"I got to the point where it's only so much you can take from the master, you feel me? I've taken my fair share of lashings. I've dealt with the media. Instead of being an artist, I've been called a woman beater; I've been insulted in public and judged. And being able to not want to kill yourself at the end of the day is what made me say, 'F**k it.'"

 "I'm not perfect, and I don't have to be," he told JET. "We are supposed to make mistakes. I'm not an android or a robot."
