Chris Brown had some … choice words for haters after Pitchfork gave his new album an awful review — and even shaded Zara Larsson in the process.

Check out his heated Insta Story from Tuesday — he tells fans he knows they want him to say something about the criticism … but instead, he says “We kickin’ they ass!” He takes his passionate clapback to the next level, adding … “I’ma keep my foot on they neck and we ain’t stopping.”

He says he’s all about his fans and getting on his upcoming “The R&B Tour” with Usher, which is set to kick off in June. And, he encourages the haters to go listen toSwedish pop star Zara, who recently said she has Chris’ music — along with other abusers — blocked on Spotify.

Chris’ head-turning comments came after Pitchfork gave his brand new album “Brown” a score of 1.3 Tuesday and called it a “real piece of s***.”
