The 'Loyal' hitmaker was reportedly promised a major role on the show by his friend and EP 50 Cent, but the network execs put a stop on the plan 'because of fears about his anger issues.'

AceShowbiz - Is this the real reason why Chris Brown got angry and allegedly pulled a gun at a woman on Monday night, August 29? Rumor has it, the R&B star "lost it" after Starz put a stop on the plan of having him appear on Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's show "Power".
Sources tell Page Six that Jackson promised Breezy a major role of a drug dealer on the crime drama series. However, Jackson "didn't consult the network first, and execs were not happy when they found out about it."
"The network insisted that Chris' casting was not going to happen, because of fears about his anger issues," the source claims. "There was a big blowup, and they had to tell Chris he was not going to get the role. The news was delivered to him early Monday. He was livid."
Despite the network's reservations, Jackson still insists that he'll get Brown on the show, telling Page Six, "Tune into 'Power' next season, because you will see Chris Brown."
On Tuesday, Brown was arrested after former pageant queen Baylee Curran reported to police that the 27-year-old star pointed a gun at her after she was admiring a diamond necklace during a party at his home on Monday night.
Brown was released on Tuesday night after posting $250,000 bail. His lawyer Mark Geragos has denied the allegations, saying, "The allegations against him are demonstrably false." He also believes that the accuser "fabricated" the gun threat.
