Chart-topping musician Chris Brown has been snapped in his latest car – a Bugatti Veyron.

The 20-year-old (yes, 20) was pictured with the £850,000 hypercar on a day out shopping in Miami, Florida.

And his dodgy fashion sense seems to have rubbed off on the Veyron which sports a rather suspect red and grey colour scheme. Not for us thanks.

It’s just another reason for us to kick the multi-million selling artist off our Christmas card list. The R&B star has:

• Owned a Lamborghini Gallardo at the age of 18
• Sold millions of record
• A MySpace page with more than 100 million views
• Dated and split up with super-babe Rhianna

Brown burst onto the music scene in 2005 as 16-year-old, becoming an instant success on the R&B scene.

But he hit a low point earlier this year after allegations he assaulted Rhianna. Brown is due in court later this month with the Barbadian beauty expected to testify against him. 

Launched in 2005, the Bugatti Veyron is widely regarded as one of the greatest cars ever thanks to its phenomenal performance.

An 8-litre W16 engine catapults the Veyron from 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds and all the way to a top speed of 253mph with Jeremy Clarkson referring to it as a Concorde moment in motoring.

Other Veyron owners include Simon Cowell and Ralph Lauren. Jammy sods.
