“I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star gam 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 f-cking past,” he said.

It would seem that the decision stemmed from problematic incidents in his past. While he wasn’t specific, Chris has been arrested for the assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna and Karrueche Tran was granted a restraining order after their time together.

Chris has previously addressed his tenuous status in Hollywood, implying that he was cancelled for racist reasons.

He continued, writing, “I POSTED THE EMAILS SO YALL COULD SEE. The NBA still was tryna get me to come and sit court side… NOT F-CKING HAPPENING.”

“I ONLY GO WHERE IM APPRECIATED,” Chris concluded.

Back in November, Chris responded to allegations that he was antisemitic for dancing to one of Kanye West‘s songs.
