American R&B superstar Chris Brown has abruptly deactivated his Instagram account, erasing a platform where he had built a following of more than 75 million people. The unexpected move has left fans puzzled and sparked speculation about what triggered his sudden disappearance.
The singer had earlier hinted at stepping back from social media, posting that he was fed up and needed a break before pulling the plug on his account. His decision comes in the wake of ongoing controversies surrounding his personal life.
Earlier this year, reports circulated that Brown allegedly charged $1,200 for a photo opportunity with a male fan, though this claim has not been officially verified.
Brown has also faced legal troubles stemming from a February 2023 incident in London, where he was accused of attacking music producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub. The alleged altercation involved Brown striking Diaw with a bottle before physically assaulting him. Diaw later filed a $16 million lawsuit citing severe injuries and financial losses. The singer was eventually arrested in May 2025 in connection with the case, further adding to his troubled public image.
His latest move to leave social media has prompted mixed reactions, with some fans expressing concern for his mental health, while others described him as struggling with anger issues.
