It seems like the R&B superstar will be one of many other celebrities who have chosen to leave the West Coast hustle and bustle behind.

Chris Brown's lived a truly superstar-level life: traveling the world, hanging out with fellow A-list celebrities, and being able to do pretty much whatever he wants to mixed results. However, it seems like he's tired of what many consider to be the hub and pinnacle of that celebrity culture: Los Angeles. Moreover, the R&B icon and controversial figure recently took to his Instagram Story to share what appears to be a parting message for California. He would be far from the first celebrity to publicly state that they're tired of L.A., but to put it in a specifically directed message seems odd. If anything, it suggests that this is part of a much bigger apartment and not just that the Virgina native wants to live somewhere else long-term.

"LA it's been FUN," Chris Brown wrote on his IG Story on Monday (October 23). "Cali will always be my second home. But I think it's time for me to try something different." The "Sensational" singer didn't even make it clear whether he has his move set in stone of if he's starting the home-hunting process. Either way, those of you in Cali who've randomly seen him on city streets might not get that chance anymore.

Chris Brown Hints That He Won't Live In Los Angeles Anymore

Of course, it's impossible to tell why exactly the 34-year-old wants to move away from California. Maybe he grew tired of how hectic it can be, wants a change of scenery, or has legal or financial reasons to want to live elsewhere. This speculation will take us nowhere, but considering this is Chris Brown we're talking about, we can't act too surprised at even the most bizarre of backstories for his decisions. After all, this is the man who is currently facing a lawsuit over two Popeyes locations that he failed to pay back a loan to the bank for.

Is Breezy planning something grander or is he just sharing some personal thoughts and life updates with fans? Why do you think he wants to leave California?
