In a recent interview, Chris Brown said that he blamed his drug abuse usage for that “thug Chris Brown era.”
This is the era that, over the years had him in trouble with the law. He was even in rehab that was court-ordered after he and his bodyguard had a fight with a man in 2013 in Washington D.C.

CB was later jailed after he was kicked out of this mandatory rehab too. At that time, he was still on his 5 year probation for his abuse behavior towards his than girlfriend Rihanna.
CB admitted that he abused the “hood cocktail” and in case you don’t know what that is, it’s a mixture of codeine cough syrup mixed with soda and anti-depresant.
CB said that he mixed his “hood cocktail” with Xanax.
It was this abuse usage that caused him to spiral out of control. CB said, “I was off the syrup, the Xanax.. that’s the hood cocktail. I was falling asleep on video sets, I was cussing people out randomly. I was doing crazy stuff. I would wake up and be like, ‘Aye, man, what time we shooting this video?’ And they would be like, ‘Dude, we shot it yesterday.’ I’d be like, ‘Damn! This ain’t for me. As time progressed I was like, let me chill out. I don’t want to be a zombie when I meet people. Or say the wrong thing, or end up punching somebody or doing something crazy… like I ddi.. because under the influence of some bull.”
CB also goes into his feud with Drake and saying that he truly feels (as he puts it” “she dated Drake to get revenge”.
