Chris Brown isn’t gang banging, despite throwing up signs and shouting out the Bloods on Instagram.

According to TMZ, Chris is affiliated with the Fruit Town Piru set, but leaders of the Fruits (who of course remained nameless) say that Chris was never officially initiated. 

Although he hasn’t been initiated, the set leaders say they’re all cool with Chris representing because:

– He’s hired several of them to work for him … giving their Compton community an economic boost
– Chris comes to the hood and hangs out with them
– He shot a music video in the neighborhood … and even included some of them in the vid
– He donated a thousand pairs of new shoes to Compton kids

Not to mention, they like the publicity. 

Who knew that gang leaders kept up with TMZ & celebrity gossip?
