Yesterday people noticed that Chris Brown was lashing out at the music industry through his Twitter account, and complaining about stores refusing to sell his new CD, Graffiti. Chris tweeted (this version is cleaned up and he used the full words) “im tired of this sh-t. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the f-ck do i gotta do… im not biting my tongue about sh-t else… the industry can kiss my ass.” Everyone kind of clucked their tongues and said that Chris was just showing his true angry and abusive nature.

Joy Behar and her panel on CNN discussed Chris’ nasty tweets. (Link leads to video.) When they wondered aloud who he was angry at – the industry or Walmart – one of them asked “Who is within punching distance?” adding “It’s amazing he has a career at all at this point… He lost his career because of his personal problems.”

According to sources quoted in the Bill Zwecker’s column in the Chicago Sun Times, Chris’ anger management classes aren’t working and this is just one of many incidents in which he’s blown up. “He’s been losing it regularly,” their source says.

Chris might have one less venue in which to vent his frustration at how just the world can be. He deleted his Twitter account yesterday afternoon, probably after his handlers heard the fallout from his obnoxious tirade. MTV has the news. They also say that the Walmart in Wallingford, CT that Chris personally visited and got all up in arms over not seeing his CD had simply sold out of it. Oops! Hey – that reminds me of the $300,000 Oops! necklace Chris bought after the world learned that he beat his girlfriend to a pulp and bit her earring off.

Chris Brown’s irate state of mind, as displayed over the weekend in a series of angry tweets, came to an end Monday afternoon (December 14) when the embattled R&B artist abruptly canceled his Twitter account and abandoned tens of thousands of followers.

“I WANNA THANK MY FANS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT,” Brown posted on his @MechanicalDummy account, moments before it was deleted. “I LOVE YALL. GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!”…

Over the weekend, the 20-year-old continued his attacks on music retailers, telling his Twitter followers that he had gone into a Walmart and discovered that his record wasn’t even available for purchase. “Just was at Walmart in Wallingford CT, 844 north colony,” Brown tweeted Saturday night. “The[y] didn’t even have my album in the back … not on shelves, saw for myself.” Brown said he talked to the store’s managers and “they didn’t even know anything. Wow!!! But they had Alicia Keys album ready for release for this Tuesday comin … the manager told me that when there are new releases it’s mandatory to put em on the shelves … BUT NO SIGN OF #GRAFFITI. BS.”

A sales associate at the Walmart in question told MTV News that the store had actually sold out of the album.

Throughout the weekend, representatives for Brown and his label, Jive Records, were not available or had no comment when MTV News reached out. Similarly, they would not address Brown’s apparent cancellation of his Twitter page. Now, when you click on his @MechanicalDummy alias, viewers are greeted coldly with a “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist” notice.

Someone with control over Chris’ career told him to cut it out or risk alienating the silver of goodwill people may have left for him. The kid made his bed and he’s not going to have the cash to stay in it. He’s going to have to start selling off some of the toys in that “Fantasy Factory” he said he was building. It will be more like a fantasy double wide.
