Chris Brown has been linked to the Bloods for years now, and had some believing that he was affiliated with the gang after using phrases like "On Piru," referring to the L.A. Blood alliance. However, the R&B star spoke to Sway during a recent interview, and denied that he has anything to do with gangs. 

"When you're in L.A. and you're around people, you meet everybody — you meet Crips, you meet Bloods, especially in this industry that I'm in. I'm not in the country world, I'm not in the all-the-way pop world. [When] you're in hip-hop, all of that meshes."

The Virginia-born singer further explained that he's cordial with everyone he meets while out in L.A., which includes some gang members.
