Kevin McCall, best known for his work with Chris Brown in the early 2010s, has claimed that the singer still owes him money. During an appearance on the Back On Figg show on YouTube, he opened up about his current financial struggles and appealed to Brown for help.
"Why the f*ck I got an EBT card?" he asked, pulling the card out of his wallet. He then referenced the success of Chris Brown’s ongoing Breezy Bowl tour, adding, "Can I get $25K for them four songs I owe you?" As he continued speaking, McCall became emotional and broke into tears, emphasizing how difficult things have been financially.
The interview quickly spread online, with fans sharing mixed opinions. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "This is an entertainer/athlete who had a short career – as most do – and didn’t find/create something sustainable after it ended. That’s all. He did not get robbed; this is the normal way careers go." Another added, "He talking like the average person remembers who he was lmao."
While Chris Brown hasn’t publicly responded, Young Thug stepped in and offered support on social media. Posting on X, he wrote, "Kevin McCall hit me my n*a, I’ll give u the 25k u need, and i no CB would give it to u also bro he a real one. N**s is busy sometimes brada."
McCall has a history of collaborations with Brown. He was featured on Brown’s 2010 hit “Deuces” and appeared on his 2011 single “Strip.” He also released his own debut single “Naked” in 2012.
The situation unfolded just as Chris Brown wrapped up his Breezy Bowl XX tour. He started the European leg in June before launching the U.S. shows at the end of July. The tour came to a close on October 16 in New Orleans, with Summer Walker, Bryson Tiller, and Jhené Aiko joining him as special guests.
Paul McCartney has reflected on the unforgettable day The Beatles met Elvis Presley, calling it one of those surreal “pinch yourself” moments.
McCartney and the rest of The Beatles famously crossed paths with Presley just once in 1965, when they visited his Los Angeles home during a meeting arranged by NME writer Chris Hutchins.
Now, during a new appearance on BBC Radio 2’s Tracks Of My Years, McCartney looked back on the legendary encounter and shared his memories of the late rock and roll icon.
“He was really great. He was a very handsome guy, but we kind of knew that. We were fans.
“We just followed everything he did, and we looked at any photo we could get. He wasn’t a disappointment at all,” McCartney said.
He went on to explain that over the years he and his former bandmates, including Ringo Starr, have often discussed the meeting, although everyone seems to remember parts of it differently.
“I say that we rang the doorbell and Elvis came to the door and said, ‘come in guys’,” he recalled. “He invited us in and we sat around and he had a jukebox, and played ‘Mohair Sam’, the record.
“Ringo says he didn’t come to the door, we went in and he was sitting there. So who’s right? I am,” he joked.
McCartney described the evening as a special experience and remembered Presley casually picking up a bass guitar during the visit.
“He had a bass there and he was talking about the bass so we could talk, sort of, bass talk. He was great, very personable, very nice.
“He had a bunch of his minders with him, and you read stuff later, and I think they were mainly his cousins, his gang.”
The Beatles legend also remembered meeting Priscilla Presley, describing that part of the night as another standout memory.
“You’re inviting four guys into your home, probably the last thing you need is them to be all over your wife.
“It was great, she was great, Elvis was great,” he continued, before adding: “You pinch yourself. I met, I actually sat with, like I’m sitting with you, Elvis.”
McCartney has previously named Presley as one of the major inspirations behind The Beatles’ landmark album ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’.
In other news, McCartney is preparing to release his new album ‘The Boys Of Dungeon Lane’ on May 29. The project has already been previewed with tracks including ‘Days We Left Behind’ and ‘Home To Us’, which marks his first official duet with Ringo Starr.
Ahead of the release, McCartney was also interviewed by actor Paul Mescal, who is set to portray him in the upcoming Beatles biopic series.
Currently titled The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event, the movies have been written by Jez Butterworth, Peter Straughan and Jack Thorne. The cast includes Mescal as McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. The films are currently scheduled for release in April 2028.
McCartney later joked about Mescal taking on the role during his recent appearance on the final episode of The Late Show. After performing ‘Hello, Goodbye’ with host Stephen Colbert before symbolically turning off the lights inside the Ed Sullivan Theatre, he was asked which of them was more attractive.
McCartney smiled, pointed to himself and answered: “Me.”
After the audience reacted with applause and laughter, he quickly clarified that he was joking, adding: “No, he’s very cute, he’s very cute.”
Elsewhere, McCartney has also recently spoken about struggling to understand what songs Bob Dylan was playing during a concert, why he dislikes taking selfies, and why he still finds much of influencer culture confusing.
