Chris Brown is currently facing another assault allegation, but judging by his Instagram, the singer doesn't seem to be worried about keeping a low profile.
News surfaced on Tuesday that the singer was being detained in Paris in regards to a rape accusation. According to the Associated Press, Brown was released and permitted to leave the country, but the Paris prosector's office maintained that the investigation is ongoing.
Despite being in hot water, Brown posted headlines detailing his release on his Instagram, as well as a since-deleted post in which he wrote, "? I WANNA MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR...... THIS IS FALSE AND A WHOLE LOT OF CAP! NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!! FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MY FAMILY THIS IS SO DISRESPECTFUL AND IS AGAINST MY CHARACTER AND MORALS!!!!!"
