During the interview, Tinashe shared whether she felt Chris Brown &#8220;blew things out of proportion&#8221; in responding to her comments.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think he probably didn&#8217;t actually watch the full video,&#8221; Tinashe explained. &#8220;But you know, it is what it is — it&#8217;s all good.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As the singer continued, she explained she&#8217;s &#8220;focused on the future.&#8221; Additionally, she shared her thoughts on whether she&#8217;d like to &#8220;make amends&#8221; with Brown.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">More Details Regarding Tinashe&#8217;s Initial Comments &; Shared Responses</h3>
<p>As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/watch-joyner-lucas-defends-chris-brown-tinashe-speaks-2015-collab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> previously reported, Tinashe appeared as a recent guest on an episode of the &#8216;Zach Sang Show.&#8217; During the conversation, the now-independent artist reflected on formerly being signed with RCA Records.</p>
<p>Additionally, Tinashe seemingly explained that she felt pressured by the label to work with certain artists in hopes that it would boost her up-and-coming career.</p>
<p>While speaking on her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5sZJJl9yVY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2015 single collaboration</a> with R. Kelly, Tinashe explained that she &#8220;literally&#8221; blocks out the song from her mind.</p>
<blockquote><p> &#8220;You think I wanted — I literally… block out that R. Kelly song from my mind. I forget that that even exists,” she explained. “That is so embarrassing. That is so unreal that I even have a song with R. Kelly.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>While speaking on her 2015 single with Brown, the singer alleged that RCA wanted the single to be a &#8220;big moment.&#8221; However, she seemingly added that she couldn&#8217;t understand why they chose Brown for her to collaborate with.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;So I feel like in their mind,” Tinashe explained, referring to her former music label, RCA. &#8220;They were like, &#8216;You need this support.&#8217; And he was like their biggest artist they had on rhythmic radio at the time. And to me, it was like, &#8216;Well, this is a pop song, so I really don’t feel like we should put Chris on it… that doesn’t compute to me.&#8217; But I don’t know…&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Additionally, we should note that Brown and R. Kelly each faced separate legal troubles. As per <a href="https://people.com/music/chris-brown-a-timeline-of-the-singers-legal-trouble/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE</a>, Brown pleaded guilty to a felony charge after physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009. As reported by <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/r-kelly-appeals-2021-guilty-verdicts-trafficking-racketeering-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a>, R. Kelly is incarcerated after being convicted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges in September 2021.</p>
<p>While reflecting on the collaborations, Tinashe said that she was &#8220;thankful&#8221; for them and that the experience of collaborating with each artist was &#8220;fully bad.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, shortly after the interview went public, Chris Brown shared his reaction to Tinashe&#8217;s comments.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;NAME 5 TINASHE songs or die…. EVERYBODY DEAD…&#8221;</p></blockquote>
