As seen in an update from Bossip.com on Sunday, Sept. 20, R&B star Chris Brown is gracing the latest cover of JET Magazine.

Brown also took some time to sit down with JET to get a few things off of his chest.

Never a stranger to seeing the media criticize him for past actions, Brown insisted it’s all part of the journey.

“You have to go through the struggle before you can get to the good part,” Brown stated. “I don’t try to lash out at people, or be as mad or impulsive as I used to be. I got to the point where it’s only so much you can take from the master, you feel me? I’ve taken my fair share of lashings.”

Brown also touched on the very sensitive and extremely controversial Trayvon Martin case while being blatantly honest about the situation.

“I identify with Trayvon one-hundred percent as far as living in 2013 and still dealing with blatant racism,” Brown added. “This generation is so used to racism that it’s normal; we don’t care."

Having taken some flack over the years, Brown then issued a surprising salvo in the direction of fellow artist Jay-Z, who he feels has gotten somewhat of a pass from the media despite a checkered past.

“No disrespect because I’m a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that [Jay Z] stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass,” Brown stated.
