Damn, ain't that the truth. He was legit going for pop star icon status, until the Rihanna incident. Now he is regulated to Bobby Brown status that is younger and Still can make solid hits.
Chris Brown's career is almost 20 years in...how much longer can he stay relevant?

He will always be a huge star. His peak relevance has passes but when you got hits and talent you can tour forever.
What sets him apart is his work ethic...he just keeps putting shyt out and touring. Also he benefits from the fact that the CB to his Usher hasnt come along yet. Aint no knew young nikka for the teenage girls. Its similar to how Drake, Ken, and Cole still "the Big 3" (no offense Kendrick
) as they near their 40s. Young nikkas aint steppin up.

Hell, Janet is still filling up arenas (though not at the level of Brown) and she in her 50s and ain’t made a hit in almost a couple decades

what the fukk is your point then ?

sigh….*unzips pants*
CB is going down as a legend, he already is fr 
He’s one of those talents where DV can’t stop his shine. He not bigger than MJ or Usher but he’s in his own echelon. There aren’t really any other acts with his talent level but he beat a bytch so that will always be the main knock against him.

Why you so mad? Lol
My point is that, depending on your definition of relevance, selling out shows isn’t necessarily the best indicator of relevance, as long as your legacy is strong enough. And I think Chris Brown has a good enough catalog to fall in that category. He will continue to sell out shows beyond him being relevant.
Him and usher still have time
Because there isn’t any quality r&b nikkas left in the game and u have a lot of 20 year olds and early 30 year olds who listened to they music
* here come some coli nikka to upload some trash underground singer*

Selling out arenas nationwide is definitely an indicator of relevance unless you are a complete retard

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
He'll be relevant as long as he continues to make music and dance, he's clearly talented. He's a generational talent, he's just never going to break into that all-time great artist range.
Is Usher still relevant to you?

Yes
These cats are weird. He's easily out touring most of the artists that are deemed more relevant than him 20 years into the game.
And he's doing it without the machine and being cancelled on social media
And that’s my point and why I said “depending on your definition of relevance.” Everyone doesn’t consider Usher to be relevant, even in this thread.
Some people don’t consider you relevant if you’re not still consistently putting out charting music.
