Chris Brown is currently signed to RCA Records, a major record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment. He signed with RCA in 2012 after the dissolution of Jive Records, his previous label.

I should note that Brown's relationship with record labels has evolved throughout his career. He initially signed with Jive Records in 2004 when he was just 15 years old, releasing several successful albums including his self-titled debut album "Chris Brown" and "Exclusive."

When Jive Records was absorbed into RCA Records in 2011, Brown's contract was automatically transferred to RCA. Under RCA Records, he has released multiple albums including:

- Fortune (2012)
- X (2014)
- Royalty (2015)
- Heartbreak on a Full Moon (2017)
- Indigo (2019)
- Breezy (2022)

In addition to his main record deal with RCA, Brown also operates his own record label called CBE (Chris Brown Entertainment), which was established in 2007. CBE functions as an imprint under RCA Records, allowing Brown to sign and develop new artists while maintaining his own recording career.

It's worth mentioning that Brown's current deal with RCA Records is notably different from traditional record contracts. In 2019, he negotiated a new deal that made him one of the youngest artists to own his master recordings, giving him more control over his music catalog.

This arrangement with RCA Records continues today, making it his primary record label home while he maintains creative control through his ownership of masters and CBE imprint.
