Chris Brown has his fans bewildered after a recent interview on “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” where he says that he is an ‘alien’. This peculiar and very random announcement comes in conjunction with the release of the official music video for his single, “WE (We Embrace)”, which has an outer-worldly theme throughout. At the beginning of the video, he travels through what appears to be some sort of universal realm and space time continuum in his sleep, to awaken to the beautiful R&B songstress, Normani, pulling up outside. They then exchange passionate embraces on land and in water, before an alien ship pulls up and begins to abduct them.
The reason that his announcement is so intriguing to me (and probably should be to his fans), is because his interest in aliens is not new at all, and has actually been progressively growing more intense since he made his first public acknowledgment of it in a Fuse interview with Esteban Serrano in 2012. During that interview, he had indicated that he is into the study of “ancient aliens”, and included “alien code” on his “Fortune” album cover for his fans to decipher. Then, during a previous appearance on “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” in 2014, he cited his interest in aliens again but in a more joking style, as he pretended to interpret ‘alien’ messages… In 2015, Brown commented on the military’s explanation after people witnessed what they felt looked like an alien aircraft:
Then again, a couple of years later, he spoke of them again very randomly in 2017, when he posted on Twitter, asking who is the bigger threat.
On March 10 of 2021, in his Instagram story, Chris Brown wrote (in all caps):
“If aliens exist, I sure hope our governments arent speaking on our behalf. Cosmic Disclosure will help us to get on the right path/frequency with the planet and break us free from this mental cage. But what do I know??? I’m just good at dancing”.

After Breezy’s out-of-this-world reveal on Wednesday, the comments started flowing on Big Boy Neighborhood’s Instagram reel, as well as on World Star Hip Hop’s copied reel also containing the video, with some viewers speculating that the R&B/pop singer is on drugs, while others jokingly also saying that they are an alien too… But most think he is on drugs (so far). Umm… Chris probably shouldn’t have had that sneaky grin on his face when he was saying it. That would have helped! Oh, and do not get me started on the “shape-shifting alien demon hand” chatter that fans speculated about his appearance at the Power 106 Celebrity Basketball game some years ago… Check out the full interview on Big Boy TV.
Anyways, I don’t know if he is an alien or not, that topic is for another blog, BUT what I DO know, is that it’s possible he also said this to add some buzz and a little mystery to his very first “BreezyVerse” NFT, which is scheduled to drop on June 24, 2022, the same day as his highly anticipated “Breezy” album. As for the single, “WE (We Embrace)”, is smoking hot on the charts right now! The song, originally released on April 1, 2022, is currently #10 on Top Trending in Music on YouTube as of the date of this blog post, has skyrocketed to 8.5 million streams on Spotify, and is in the #2 position on his ‘Top 5 Tracks’ in Chartmetric. Last but not least, the single is on over a whopping 3,600 Spotify playlists, AND has even landed a spot on HomeBase Radio’s “MillenGen Z R&B” playlist.
