Chris Brown has kept his nose relatively clean leading up to the release of his sixth album, entitled X.

His first two new singles, “Fine China” and the Aaliyah-assisted “Don’t Think They Know,” have been well received, but according to his Twitter timeline, this may be his final project.

“Don’t worry mainstream America. After this X album, it’ll probably be my last album,” tweeted Brown this Tuesday morning.

Brown has vented in the past through social media about being portrayed in a negative light since his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna.

His most recent tweet appears to be in result of the culmination of mounting backlash against him.

Brown continued, “Being famous is amazing when it’s for ur [sic] music and talent. I’m tired of being famous for a mistake I made when [I] was 18. I’m cool & over it!”
