R&B singer Chris Brown is having a tough time dealing with fans thinking Usher would give him that Verzuz work. The popular crooner has come forward to address the Internet’s desperate pleas to make a classics battle go down.

Chris Brown Declines Usher Verzuz

Heading into Monday, Brown went to his Instagram Story and didn’t hold back. Chris credited his guest features alone for being epic enough to do a Verzuz battle but refused to cave into the Internet’s peer pressure.

“What we not gone do is CAP. I could do a vs off features alone… So I’ll humbly decline… I’m busy doing nothing”

I hope Usher addresses this the way he addressed The Weeknd — by posting a cute 30 second snippet of him singing the girls down while laying flat on his back just to remind y’all what y’all have clearly forgotten pic.twitter.com/Ym4KakZIRl

Y’all sitting on the TL in broad daylight, in front of God and everybody, and saying that once Usher plays Superstar in a Versuz battle Chris Brown could win by playing Fine China. This is an example of how No Child Left Behind failed the youth.

A visibly pissed Usher walks out and starts to sing into the mic on the podium because there seemed to be an issue with his headset mic. Just before the choreography begins, he's thrown a handheld and proceeds to kill the performance. pic.twitter.com/6dD1haCgII

There’s not a song in Chris Brown’s discography better than Usher’s “Superstar” and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on. Debate ya mama.

Wait, There’s More

On Friday, Chris Breezy hit up Instagram to let the world know he could see himself doing a Verzuz. However, Brown took things to troll level by saying he’d only put his hits up against his own classics.
