Chris Brown responded to fellow singer Kevin McCall, who complained that Chris owed him $3 million in song royalties.
Kevin made the comment during an emotional appearance on a podcast, where he explained he’s on EBT and he can’t make his $2,000 monthly child support payments to his ex, Eva Marcille.
Kevin, who co-wrote and produced several of Chris Brown’s hits, said he is owed $3 million in unpaid royalties. “I was supposed to get paid for my work, but none of it came through.”
He noted that Chris earned $90 million during his recent world tour. Kevin begged Chris for $25,000 to help him out.
“I’m not even trippin’ though. I got an EBT card in my pocket,” Kevin said. He held up his SNAP card before breaking down in tears.

Millions of Americans will not receive SNAP benefits as the government shutdown continues.
Georgia is among the states that halted SNAP benefits, also known as “food stamps”, amid the ongoing government shutdown.
The 40-year-old music producer is best known for his work on Chris Brown’s 2010 song “Deuces” and “Strip” (2011).
Rapper Young Thug took pity on Kevin and offered to pay him $25,000 on Tuesday. Thugga noted that Chris is probably too busy to pay Kevin what he owes.

Chris Brown took offense. He called Kevin “broke” and “a troll” in a post on his Instagram Stories.
“Remember this: you can’t walk across a burnt bridge,” Chris wrote. “And you know what’s funnier than a troll? A BROKE ONE.”
