Chris Brown: Welcome to My Life Page #3

He's like, oh, Usher,

I was like, oh, word?

I told him to make his

decision where he goes

based off of what's real

more than anything.

You gotta rock with family.

So he was like, "Yeah, man, I

hear you about to get signed

with a different label.

I was just asking him, like,

who should I go with?

And he was like, just make sure

it's the best decision for you,

whatever decision you pick,

and whatever decision you make

is the best for you.

That was our first conversation,

across the board.

It started from there.

His fame came instant, you

know, it came all at once.

He was discovered at the

age of 13 at a gas station

where his father worked,

now he is a platinum

recording artist.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Chris Brown.

Being able to maneuver at

15 and try to, you know,

and having the success that

I did have at the time,

I was like, man, this is crazy.

When "Run It" came out, I heard

him screaming all the way out,

Mom, Mom, my song

is on the radio!

I remember meeting Chris

Brown for the first time

in Miami, we just got

done recording "Run It,"

and as soon as it got

done out the studio,

it got in my hands and

I went on the radio

and broke it, helped

break that record,

it was a record I believed in,

I knew he was gonna

be the next superstar

the day I met him.

I remember the first time Chris

Brown came on 106 & Park.

I saw people lined up all

the way down the block,

and I didn't know, I thought

some kind of fire drill

was taking place

or something like that,

and as I got closer,

I just, you know,

and I saw all those kids,

and then I looked,

and I saw they had spray

paint on the t-shirts and,

you know, the signs that

said marry me, Breezy,

I love you, Breezy,

Chris Brown for life,

and I was like,

what is going on!

It was fun, but also I'm

sure it was very stressful,

because he couldn't just

walk into the store

and go shopping and just go

play basketball at the gym

like he used to.

It wasn't the same anymore.

He didn't understand that,

because he figured he could

just go, and he'd be fine.

I'm a normal kid,

I'm just Chris,

I'm like, no, it doesn't

work that way anymore.

Well, you know, being 14

and 15 with a record deal,

you know, it's the best

feeling in the world,

but it also comes with

complications, you know.

I think it's tough for anybody

to start out at 14, 15,

'cause you ain't

went to high school,

you ain't had a chance to like,

just live a regular life,

you've already been a star, so

a lot of that's overwhelming.

Being that, most of your family

have dealt with poverty,

and under minimum wage kind

of living most of your life,

$10,000 to me was like,

dang, I'm rich, you know?
