Chris Brown replies to Ruffles declaring they did not stop him from joining the 2024 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
The conflict began when Brown took place Instagram and declared that the NBA retracted his invite to the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game as a result of arguments from the occasion’s enrollers like Ruffles.
“I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do IT because of their sponsors like RUFFLES. At this point I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m tired of living in the fucking past. I POSTED THE EMAILS SO YALL COULD SEE. The NBA still was tryna get me to come and sit court side…NOT FUCKING HAPPENING,” he created.
Shortly after, Ruffles shared a declaration with Baller Alert, declaring that they had absolutely nothing to do with Brown’s elimination.
“Ruffles sponsored the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game,” the declaration started. “However, Ruffles did not have any involvement in, nor visibility to, any player decisions or celebrity invite discussions.”
Brown swiftly captured wind of the declaration and responded on his Instagram Stories, straight pointing out the Ruffles account and including 5 blue cap emojis.
“I guess yall tryna save face now,” Brown created. “STAND ON BUSINESS. Don’t try to make it look like I’m trippin. YOU AND THE NBA representatives know exactly what yall doin!”
He included: “I HAVE NO REASON TO LIE. YALL KNOW I DONT CHASE CLOUT ! The only reason they responded is because of all the team breezy fans flooding they shit. Stop fucking playing wit me! SEE HOW FAKE THIS SHIT IS… COWARDS!! YALL KNOW DAMN WELL I AINT LYING BECAUSE I NEVER BE ON THIS TYPE OF TIME. These bitches (@ruffles) Tryna save face!”

As of currently, the event in charge of Brown’s termination is still uncertain. Activist Tamika Mallory considered in on the circumstance on Instagram, both protecting the firm and positioning the concern of whether Brown is entitled to an additional possibility.
“On this issue…brands have every right to choose who they do or don’t want to work with in situations surrounding domestic violence, sexual assault etc etc…,” she created. “I have questions for our community…especially our women. Does there come a point when a younger person who did something wrong gets to move forward or do we hold them to their actions forever?”
