Chris Brown is accusing singer Kehlani of faking her apparent suicide attempt.

The singer went on a Twitter spree Tuesday night, attacking Kehlani for posting a photo to Instagram photo that showed her in a hospital bed.

She admitted to attempting suicide, writing that she "wanted to leave this Earth" after singer PARTYNEXTDOOR posted a photo of her in his bed -- which made it appear as though Kehlani had cheated on her boyfriend, Kyrie Irving.

Brown, however, isn't buying it, tweeting incessantly that Kehlani was faking the whole thing for attention. He also tweeted support for Irving, saying he was "one of the only good guys left." 

Brown began with a subtweet clearly aimed at Kehlani, then spiraled into a series of tweets about the situation.
