      Darian Gregory James Brown was ripped off by Managers for years. He trusted people. When he was popular, he did O.k. But, times changed. He became less popular because of disco. Employees became against him. Everybody wanted a 'piece of James Brown'. His wife Adrian died. James Brown married a woman but she hardly saw him. Then he married Tommi. Fame and fortune has a price for celebs. His health deteriorated. Celebs often turn to drugs. Whitney died from drugs. June Pointer died from drugs. Crack is a killer. Natalie Cole did drugs. Look at all the celebs we lost to drugs!

    • @hankbridges5055

      James Brown was in a 'police Chase's in South Carolina. He was in his GMC truck. They found PCP in the truck. He was sentenced to 3 yrs. in jail but only did 1 after doing a concert for the inmates. They said he was a 'model prisoner'. James Brown's mug shot is on Google.

      yurtpoh depends on the dose, there's definitely a line between maintaining [slight] control, and becoming manic & wild. look at his facial expressions and hear the way he talks, doesn't seem like coke; and yeah, sure, his behavior seems like a fearless drunk, but again, the way he's talking isn't exactly drunk like. When he's yelling he doesn't have a problem getting the words out, but watching him in a few parts, he has a lot of trouble getting the words out, pronouncing them; unlike drunken slurring - more like its hard to control your mouth to form the right sound, happens a lot frequently on DXM. finally the way he seems to be not fully lucid of what's happening - manages to keep a conversation, but gives off the wall answers along with random interludes of singing, and also doesn't seem to have any problem with the fact he's on national television with millions watching.
      and it's publicly known that he started using PCP around this time, maybe earlier, I forget exactly. but yeah, who knows

      Not that I've ever tried pcp but it's embalming fluid n typically makes people see stuff n things like ghosts that ain't there so who knows if it's true or not but he was definitely feeling good n from my own personal drug experiences he sounded like he was on ecstacy or speedball of coke n heroin! Who knows other than he was definitely high!! Good for him! I would've been too!
