Chris BrownChris Brown has deleted his Twitter account just days after he used the site to lash out at retailers he accused of “blackballing” his newest album Graffiti, reports rollingstone.com.

“I wanna thank all my fans for their support,” Brown wrote in his final tweet on Dec. 14. “I love yall. Goodbye!”

Brown’s anger towards retailers initially focused on a Wallingford, Connecticut Walmart store, but the R&B singer expanded his rant to make a larger statement about how the industry views him after he pleaded guilty for physically assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna.

Representatives for several big retailers have said that Brown’s CD is actually “overstocked” at most stores, with Graffiti dramatically underselling the 150,000-175,000 copies it was expected to sell in its first week. One large chain said the album is selling at only 40 per cent of original expectations.

Brown’s last disc, 2007′s Exclusive, sold 294,000 copies in its first week, which is likely to more than double Graffiti‘s debut week sales. “Not only am I carrying it, I am over-carrying it, because it isn’t selling,” the head of purchasing at a large retail chain told Billboard.biz. “I wish I could return it.”

Brown’s Twitter page now reads, “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!”

In the past few months, Brown has repeatedly tweeted and then deleted posts, often after he’d written something that could be viewed as a remembrance or regret about his relationship with Rihanna. However, this is the first time Brown has actually deleted his account. But with the tempting reactivation button at the ready, there’s no saying Brown won’t pop back into the 140-character world one day.
