Despite climbing the music charts with hits like "Loyal" and "Beautiful People," Brown has had a public troubled past, which included time spent in rehab, being arrested, spending time in and out of jail and being sentenced to five years probation following his 2009 domestic violence assault to his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
In a lengthy and heartfelt post, the 26-year-old singer called himself a "dog" and said that he hated himself for the person he was.
"I'm Konfuzed, I always thought I knew the concept of love. Fame and Money can get in the way of that. Most of my issues always deal with love and me being in my feelings. Not to mention me being a dog sometimes. I can't speak for everyone, but I can say that my actions contributed a lot to my karma. Being jealous and angry and controlling," the singer wrote in his Instagram post on Thursday.
"There has been times where I looked in the mirror and hated the person I see. I talk to God a lot now. He's given me so much and I feel like I waste his gifts becuz of my impulsive personality," Brown continued.
Brown accompanied his post with a photo of himself relaxing with a view of the ocean in the background.
In his post, Brown also reflected on the struggles of being a young black man in America, but asked fans to accept that what they "see on the surface does not reflect what's inside" of him.
"The world is full of negativity and I feel I play a part in it becuz of the choices I've made or mistakes," Brown went on writing. "I tend to accept the negative or the riff raff becuz I know what it's like to be a young black 'n---a' in America. I always see the good in people even when they don't see it.
"I love others more than myself at times. Everything u see on the surface does not reflect what's inside. This is my white flag. I surrender to life and all its blessings. I refuse to be petty and attention seeking. To know me is to love me. Good Bad UGLY! Sincerely, Konfuzed."
Brown has been open about his personal life lately, especially when it comes to sharing pictures of his now one-year-old daughter, Royal.
