Is Chris Brown the Worst Next-Door Neighbor of All Time?

There are bad neighbors, there are worse neighbors, and then there’s Chris Brown. The R&B bad boy hasn’t exactly displayed model community behavior in the past, but after a drawn-out police standoff earlier this week he seems to have redefined the concept of a next-door nightmare. At least, that’s according to his upscale Los Angeles neighbors, who are now begging the bad-tempered, scandal-plagued celeb to get the hell out.

Let’s face it, not all neighbors are handing out homemade Bundt cakes or offering jump-starts or baby-sitting services to everyone in the hood. No. Some like to throw wild parties and blast loud music, others refuse to mow their lawn or cut down their tree branches that extend over the property line, and still others are just downright unpleasant.

But after the recent standoff, complete with police helicopters circling overhead, even Brown’s neighborhood pals are saying no mas. 

Los Angeles Lakers player Nick Young captured a video of the hourslong debacle and then pleaded with his friend to go. The video, which was eventually posted online, shows some of the drama after cops showed up to Brown’s Tarzana home on Tuesday in response to a 911 call from a woman who said Brown was threatening her with a gun. They waited for a search warrant to enter the six-bedroom home.

“Chris Brown, you gotta move, man,” Young, who goes by “Swaggy P,” says in the video. “Go on, get away from over here, please. You’re making the block hot, buddy.

“[They] got SWAT teams and helicopters flying over my head, [and] I’m thinking they’re after me. We only have about five or six black people over here anyway. … They’re going to take me [and] you,” he continues. “There’s really only two of us over here, man. And at this rate, you’re gonna make it one.”

During the standoff, Brown allegedly chucked a duffel bag containing two guns and drugs out of his window, TMZ reported. He was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and then released on $250,000 bail.

His lawyer, Mark Geragos, tweeted that Brown “was out and well” and the “allegations against him are demonstrably false.”

Brown moved into the neighborhood only last summer, but since then his antics have garnered more than a few complaints from those unlucky enough to live nearby. He purchased his home for $4,350,000.

In May, one neighbor went to the cops after Brown and a friend allegedly rode all-terrain vehicles through the community and did several doughnuts on the irate neighbor’s front lawn, according to ABC News. When the property owner asked him to stop, Brown hurled obscenities at him.

In June, the singer was sued for allegedly punching his manager in the neck and face, implicated in threatening a tour manager, and accused of destroying a villa in Ibiza, Spain, leaving knife marks on the walls, urine in a bed, and vomit everywhere, according to the New York Post.

This year Brown was also accused of beating a man during a concert in Cannes, France. In 2014, he served 108 days in jail stemming from a probation violation for getting into a fight outside of a Washington, DC, hotel.

But Brown’s anger issues haven’t stopped TeamBreezy fans (as they’re known) from making Brown’s “Royalty” album, released last year, gold and getting the single “Back to Sleep” on Billboard’s Top 20. They may love his music—but chances are that after this latest neighborhood debacle even the most die-hard fans (with equally large bank accounts) just might think twice before moving onto his block.
