Brown spoke on how even he still sometimes feels inadequate.

Chris Brown is still one of the biggest R&B stars in the world nearly 20 years after he originally made his debut. He's already released 10 albums, all of which made it onto the top 10 of the Billboard 200. Three of them, F.A.M.E, Fortune, and Indigo reached the number one spot on the charts. Despite his commercial success over such a long period of time, Brown recently confessed that he still feels like a phony sometimes.

"11th album. I still pinch myself and have frequent Spatz of imposter syndrome. I'm extremely thankful and appreciative of how far I've come and the people who got me here," Brown began an Instagram story post overnight. "I continue to strive higher. MUSIC IS A CHOICE AND I THANK YOU FOR CHOSING ME," he concludes. Subsequently, in the comments fans rushed to show support for Brown. "Super TRIPLE OG LEGEND," and "C BREEZY 🔥" two of the top comments on the post read. Check out the post for yourself below.
