Is Chris Brown back to his bad boy ways?
The singer was allegedly "smoking a ton of pot" when he recently flew on a private jet, a source told Us Weekly. Not only was the "Ayo" singer smoking marijuana, but he also didn't care about the crew's concern when they addressed the issue, said the source.
The FAA prohibits smoking on flights, but the singer appeared to ignore the flight regulation as Brown did something even worse than just smoking in the aircraft.
"He blew smoke at a flight attendant and said, 'I paid $60,000 for this jet, so I own it and everyone inside'," the insider told the magazine.
The source added that the R&B singer lit up again before the plane landed and began harassing another attendant on board. Brown reportedly said that the attendant is too old to be on board and that he likes "to have the help be people I'd actually like to [expletive]."
In an official statement to NY Daily News, Brown's publicist, Nicole Perna, said that the Us Weekly story about the singer smoking marijuana on the flight was false. Perna said that Brown and another companion of his were smoking on the plane prior to takeoff.
"The pilot explained that it was a non-smoking flight, so Chris immediately extinguished his cigarette," said Perna.
Brown's publicist said that the singer's companion also extinguished his cigarette, but in a manner which angered the pilot who then refused to fly the plane unless the unnamed person was removed. As a result, Brown spoke to his tour manager to make a request.
"Chris spoke to his tour manager who was also on the flight and asked if they can replace the pilot. In the end, his companion was removed and the plane departed," Perna added.
Perna also insisted that there was only one attendant during the flight and that Brown was never rude to her.
While Perna claims that Us Weekly's story is full of inaccuracies, the magazine stands by its story.
