Underlining the directorial prowess, an unknown side, of Chris, Wale remarked that “I have been in the game for like four and half years, he (Chris) is the most talented person all around that I have ever seen in my life. Acting, singing, rapping, dancing, all of these things and if you really talk to him, he is an intelligent dude …”
To him, “As far as organization on a video shoot,” is concerned, his work with Chris “was the most organized video I have ever seen in my life. As an artiste, he knows the methodology behind an artiste’s performance. I want to work with dudes like this as many times as I can.”
Chris Brown, Christopher Maurice Brown, aside his enormous talent has been hit with bad publicity over the years. Recently, he was accused of angrily snatching a girl's iPhone outside a nightclub in Miami and driving off with it.
Wale who is a Yoruba from southwestern Nigeria said Chris Brown “is one of those guys that I just want the way he’s been a lot of things in his career but we all go through things and I support him hundred percent.”
Wale rose to prominence in 2006 with the hit single Dig Dug (Shake It). He has since then chalked huge successes including recording with Rick Ross, Lady Gaga, Lloyd and Waka Flocka Flame. Wale is currently signed to Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group.
The Break Up Song maker disclosed that aside music, he has taken to business. He explained that “I get it why Jay Z and [the rest] they’ve been doing it [business] for years because it [music] becomes redundant after a while but you want to be able to influence other people’s careers or guide them so they don’t have to make the same mistakes you made.”
