Chris Brown went through a lot of changes during his time in jail, but one of the biggest changes for him was gaining over 30 lbs during his time away.
In an interview with Extra, the singer revealed on Friday his insecurities about his music, and why he was scared to go out after gaining weight in jail.
"My normal weight is like 180," he said. "I was 215 when I got out of jail. After that I was so conscious, I couldn't even fit my jeans, none of my clothes. I was scared to go out, I was like 'Man, people gonna see me, I look fat.' So after a while, I went and played a lot of basketball, a lot of cardio. Then I did the 'New Flame' video, we rehearsed for that, the BET Awards, couple other shows. I was just always dancing, always dancing, trying to get my body back in shape."
The singer was also the target of Sinbad comparisons over his new body and curly top haircut. After losing the weight and his hair, the singer says he's in a good place and was thankful for the entire experience.
"[It was] a humbling experience," he said about serving time. " It was definitely one of the things I'll never forget. I think for me, it's now about what's the purpose and what's the goal that Chris Brown as a person and Chris Brown as an artist is trying to portray. And with me, it's always been positivity, but now it's more of not just speaking it into existence but actually doing it."
