June 2011: Chris Brown vs. Odd Future, Pt. 2 - Chris Brown didn't keep his cool when another Twitter dispute, between him and Odd Future member Frank Ocean, popped off a few days later. It all started when Chris tweeted what seemed like a compliment, comparing Ocean to two successful R&B songwriters: "I f--k with Frank Ocean! Reminds me of a young James Fauntleroy or Kevin Cossum." Ocean didn't take it that way, though. Brown responded: "[It] was a compliment you b---h a-- n---a. Everybody claim to be the devil till they meet him...[F]--k odd future! The back-and-forth took a real-life turn after a YouTube video showing some Chris Brown associates harassing Ocean was posted online.

Chris took to IG and blasted TMZ’s CEO Harvey Levin and called him Satan in the flesh. Displaying no chill, Chris had this to say: “What the devil looks like in person. Lol. You sad little man. You’ve been trying for years to destroy me. It won’t work. Your efforts are flattering. When you look back on your life when it’s that time for you to depart, what can u actually say you’ve accomplished in life? Bringing people down and being the number one source for negativity. Life’s too short homie. Find some sort of happiness. You are a grown a** man. God bless you bruh.”(Photos from Left: Larry Busacca/Getty Images for MTV, Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

Putting Brown further on blast, she hit up Twitter with a barrage of posts that included, “I WILL NEVER F**K A WOMAN BEATER EW DISGUSTING.

May 2015: New Flame? - May was an interesting month for Chris, but nothing topped it off better than when a naked woman broke into his house and lay waiting to get it on with him. Amira Kodcia Ayeb, however, wasn’t the “Fine China” he was looking for and although he eventually decided not to press charges, he did post a picture of her laid out inside his crib on IG. Sharing the madness, Chris posted, “I get home and find this crazy individual in my house. She had broken the hinges off the doors. She Found time to cook her several meAls. She Wrote 'I love you' on the walls. She threw out my daughters clothing as well as my dogs stuff. Then had all these crazy voodoo things around my crib. goes to show you how crazy people are crazy! And she painted her name on my cars!!!! I love my fans but this is on some real real crazy s**t.” (Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images for Clear Channel)

May 2015: Run It - Karrueche may have called it quits after finding out about Breezy’s daughter, but apparently the R&B crooner lives by the motto “Once Mine Always Mine.” He wasn’t too happy last week when Tyson Beckford posted a selfie with him and K and got into his feelings once more. Before declaring he had a “light skin" moment and overreacted, he responded to the post with, “U wanna keep walking them runways, U need two legs for that. Keep playing like I ain’t wit the bulls**t.”The disdain didn’t stop there as the series of responses also included, “I’m done all this internet talking blood. Be in vegas soon. Keep playing ima f**k ya baby momma and then whoop yo child like he mine.”(Photos from Left: Jason Merritt/Getty Images, Mike Windle/Getty Images for Equinox, Robin Marchant/Getty Images)
