Taking to his Instagram stories, he accused the NBA of retracting their invite because of his “past.” Chris Brown also mentioned that the NBA took back their invite “because of sponsors, like Ruffles," which is a popular potato chips company in the US.
The artist also shared a few screenshots of emails that he apparently received from the NBA on January 22, 2024. The mail was an invite to the NBA ESPN All-Star Celebrity Game, which was held on February 16, 2024. The Look at Me Now singer also shared a screenshot of the email with details of his uniform.
