Singer Chris Brown will be featured in the free March 10 issue of Page Six Magazine. Two years after his abusive situation with his former girlfriend, Rihanna, the 21 year-old blonde is ready to make his way back into the spotlight.
In an interview with the NY Post publication, Chris Brown talked about his upcoming album, those who supported him during his challenging times and his desire to move on from his dark past:
On staying positive, growing up & ending his apologies:
“People are always gonna talk. But I’m in a positive place. I consider myself a grown-ass man. And at the end of the day, if I walk around apologizing to everybody, I’m gonna look like a damn fool.”On people sticking by him after his mishap:
“A handful of people stuck by me,” Chris says, referring to fellow artists such as Pitbull and Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. “But when [most] people see certain things happen to somebody, they usually turn away. They don’t want to get involved with it because they don’t want their name attached to anything negative. Unknowingly, they kind of show their true colors when they do that. But you can’t blame people for how they want to be portrayed or if they don’t want to be associated with somebody who had a particular mishap.”On what he’s learned about being humble:
“People kind of get clouded, and then when they get up to the top, they kind of lose a bit of themselves and they’re not as humble. So knowing how it can be taken away and given back and taken away again, it kind of just taught me to be focused.”
On his new album, F.A.M.E.:
“Fame is what everybody seeks. I get an adrenaline rush from it. But fame is basically love and hate all in one. Without bad there is no good, without good there is no bad. Everybody who dissed me now wants to say ‘Hey.’ They wanna get on the record. They wanna let me back in the door. The last two years, everybody dissed me. But my fans were so dedicated. The way I look at it is, you can’t walk around mad, because then you just prove everybody right that you’re an angry person. So ‘F.A.M.E.’ means ‘Forgiving All My Enemies,’ and also ‘Fans Are My Everything.’ I’m dedicating it to my fans.”[ Source ]

Chris said “They don’t want to get involved with it because they don’t want their name attached to anything negative.”
Maybe they don’t want to have their name attahced to a man that beats women. You see, some people have standards, they have sisters, mothers and daughters and they care about those women more than they care about showing their “true colors” to a punk.
and some of these same people with mothers, sisters, and daughters turn a “blind eye” to their neighbor who is in a abusive relationship…do they care about their neighbor down the street getting whipped on evryday? no they stay out of it…
But since Chris is a celebrity it’s different..
at the end of the end of the day i probably could take you opinion into account if it was a random person. But i being from the UK I’ve met chris on numerous occasions. The love he has for his fans is amazing. So therefore at the end of the day yes he did what he did they say he did to rihanna. But how he treated me I’m going make my judgement off that soley. Rihanna ain’t nothing to me. I was a fan at one point until she was completely rude at her concert. so i rather be a fan of someone that is human and has belief in god then cocky illumanti girl. I woulda sworn he beat some of you people how you go on. #DUECES
OH STFU DROCK! You act like you’ve never committed a sin in your life and made mistakes! Standards? In today’s world? Those people who have “standards” that you speak of, are the same ones who are hypocrites and sinners. Okay, so you mean to tell me that it’s okay for someone to shun another person if he/she has sex before marriage, a baby out of wed lock, has gotten drunk, and has run a red light? Don’t be so judgmental, especially when you weren’t there and don’t know all the details. It’s evident that Rihanna did something outrageous to tick him off because why only hit her one time if he’s a true woman beater? Real women beats are sick, cruel, and bums. They hit women, even after they go to jail or get sentenced for it. Now has Chris hit any of his gf’s or female friends after this incident…. NO!
You all are defending this women beater like he’s paying your rent! I get it you are a C.B. fan but trying to bring up the bible and god, & blaming her negros please!
@truthfullyspeaking the details were all over her face.
@ladyl the neighbor down the street is not doing interviews for page six.
@lookatmenow I’m glad he did not clock you in the eye when you were begging for an autograph.
lmao oh nigga i didn’t beg for a autograph i chilled wit dudes for like 3 hours with his mom and auntie and the autogrpah was given & a pic wit him so BITE ME! #fancy
So him and his woman gets into one fight and he’s woman beater hmmm something to take forward from now on
Everybody makes mistakes. How could you deny someone who is trying to do right and better themseleves?
I wish Chris much success in the future. #teambreezy
SMH GIRL SHUT UP! WE STILL DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CAR THAT NITE! CHRIS HAS KISSED ENUFF ASS SO WHY SHOULD HE STILL BE PUNISHED! BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED HAPPENS EVERYDAY! HE ISNT THE FIRST AND WONT BE THE LAST! IT DOESNT MAKE IT RIGHT BUT THERE IS A LOT OF WOMEN WHO HAS DONE FAR WORST AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THE MAN ALWAYS COME OUT LOOKIN LIKE A PUNK! LET THAT MAN LIVE AND MOVE ON! DAMN!
Totally agreed!!!! Funny how some people stay mad forever but the victim has moved on and let live. Its one thing to be a fan but an overly excessive weirdo is another. I mean fans going head to head over it and you dont even know these people. Hell IKE Turner was definitely a woman beater but he wasnt even tarnished like Chris. Give the boy a break for goodness sake.
AMEN!! like rihanna for example she hit her brother with a glass bottle but little miss princess doesn’t have to answer.
chris has got fans behind him and if you don’t like it well then drown yourself haters.
The Heading is misleading and her fans and his haters are going to run with it. If you don’t or can’t get over “The Chris Brown Incident” but just happen to me one of those millions of followers following Charlie Sheen it’s a basic eff you, hypocrite. Stop worrying about someone you don’t support or “like”. He’s not speaking to you in the first place. eh
we are all humans, we all make mistakes, we need to forget and forgive.
Chris if you have asked GOD to forgive you, that’s all that matters in the end period. What MAN says does not matter.
I don’t think that white jesus a.k.a. Cesar Borgias is going to help Chris Brown lol.
No lie, I saw that name JUDAH and a smile broke out. Been trolling the loop for a minute hoping to read your comments again.
YEAH I WAS THINKIN THE SAME THING WHY HAS HE GOT A WHITE JESUS ON THERE. I GUESS HE STILL BRAINWASHED HE AINT WOKEN UP YET.
You know what happened in that car..Rihanna got badly beaten, if Rihanna would admit to hitting her brother why would she lie to Diane Sawyer, and she say she didn’t hit Chris. I saw a pic of Chris after the beating,and he had no injuries, Rihanna was messed up…what does that say…You Chris fans or people who don’t like Rihanna, try to justify..his violent, arrognant behavior with this Lame ” She must of hit him theory” without a lick of proof, Chris never said Rihanna hit him cause he knows she didn’t, and he is a weak coward,so if Rihanna hit he would told the Police, he won’t kept his beaver teeth shut. When he hits the next woman , what’s the excuse going to be, ….this album will flop like the last one, leaking pics of himself nude and dying his hair blonde..isn’t gong to make a different..
First of all rihanna admittied to hitting chris when she heard the girl on the phone she slapped him so before you star coming on here and saying chris’s fans are trying to justify something go check your facts because nobody is debating what chris did that nite was right we all know he hit her but as a man he took action and did what he needed to do to make things right. And he didnt leak the pics his ex girlfriend did she admitted it on twitter so instead of bashing the man why dont you find something better to do because chris brown is not a reapt offender he did something bad and paid for it. Nobodis perfect and i’m sure like chirs you made alot of mistakes
your comment is ignorant thanks for the promo. and prior to rihanna chris had many girlfriends it just makes me think. Those girl never got hit, i’ve met him he’s nothin but nice and the present girls haven’t either. So yes what happened, happened… it is what it is. you want him to flop? well trust me honey that didn’t happen to 2years ago and it ain’t happening now so keep #dreaming March 22 hoes!
@ Judah.. what Man say does matter, If you hit someone, you can go to prison, have restraining order.. there are laws in this country, if you break them then you will stand judgement. Also Chris seems very Godly with his cussing, many tattos, nude pics…please whatever..
IF people don’t want his lame music…get over it..
i think what he meant by that is only god can judge him. mans word doesn’t have any significant meaning. lol. who are you to judge chris, yes he has tattoos, curses, ain’t nobody perfect. judge yourself before u look at his flaws.
(cont) if u listen to his song ”Ms Breezy” at the start he has intro where he says he won’t sell him self out for the industry. i.e meaning his soul. he has intergrity. so i rather support him for the faith that he does have…. Rather lil ms devil. who will grind and wind for some $
You once lost me as a fan but you are making amazing music. You won me back…you are WINNING
I’m glad this incident is over. There will still be immature whiners who bash this young man because he’s in the spotlight and because 5 head is a superstar, but I’m glad that he’s moved on. It kinda frustrates me to see stupid comments about Chris being a woman beater. How does hitting or “beating” a woman one time classify someone as a woman beater? I could understand it if he hit every woman he’s encountered with, but he hasn’t ever since or before this incident. It’s not about staning or supporting his wrongs, but just worrying about my own damn life and not judging when something’s fishy about this story. Now if he hit her upside her head on the stage at the VMA’s, then it would have been everyone’s business, but this should’ve been kept between the police, their family, and the judge.
Rihanna’s been over it; she used it as publicity, but is over it, so why the hell are people still complaining? What a bunch of losers with no lives? It made me mad when I found out that Alicia Keys was a home wrecker, especially when she’s supposed to be this wonderful humanitarian, but that doesn’t mean she should be fired from being a singer or bashed constantly for her wrongs. Point blank, get over it!
A ‘grown ass man’ doesnt do ‘twitter fights’ and worse, doesnt take pic of his own d!ck and then desperately leak it himself on the internet to stay relevant.
YEAH BUT AGAIN HE ISNT THE FIRST! DIDDY, JAMIE FOX, KANYE WEST ECT HAS PICS OUT BUT I GUESS U TOO BUSY WORRIED ABOUT CHRIS! WITH PEOPLE LIKE U HE WILL ALWAYS BE RELEVANT! U CAN GO ON HIM AS U WANT BUT HE HAS MORE TALENT THEN MOST PEOPLE TODAY! GIVE HIM A F#@KING BREAK!
he started fights?????? I’m pretty sure raz – b was da one that instigated it. with the little fame he has. and of course it falls on chris as always. let dude the live. F ur thoughts.
@ MRB oh my bad, are you mad? did I just say the truth? And who said they were grown men either? ‘Grown man’ is a mental state of mind. And why am I supposed to talk about them when its about chris brown? Dumb bitch.
@price tag, your opinion is irrelevant to me. so get used to other people’s thoughts or stay mad, it’s a blog -_- moron.
Chris brown aint paying none of you, he is too busy being blonde.
half of the people on here that going to say some stupid prob beat women themselves!!!!!! so stay out of something yall dont know the truth about!!!!!!!!!
HE’S REALY NOT ACTING LIKE A MAN ,,,,,WHY ARE PPL MAKING THIS SEEM’S LIKE RIH’S SIN FOR A MALE BEATING…ARE YOU ALSO A MALE THAT HIT’S ???? OR A FOOLISH PIG ?
HE IS SO FULL OF HIMSELF .
YES EVERYONE HAS MOVED ON CHIRS BROWN FAN’S ,
WE HAVE FORGIVING !!! THIS FOOLISH KID .
BUT YOUNG AND OLDER MALE’S NEED TO KNOW THAT , HE WAS VERY VERY W R O N G ….. TO KICK A FEMALE’S ASS .
REAL MEN DO NOT BEAT ON FEMALE’S , ONLY A PIG DOES !!!
These people don’t get it. They will defend him till the end and will still try to blame her for her getting beat. But as long as he’s putting out so called good music these young and dumb women will still buy it. Team breezy my ass.
D rock u sound pretty much ignorant. He’s life is music, he shouldn’t be banned from doing concerts or albums. b/c of a mihap that happened in he’s personal life. Michael continued to make music regardless. oh and also the fan base of chris isn’t women have you seen how many straight dude love this dude’s music, trust me. you would be suprisded! BOOM
I agre Drock and I Love This Game. I think the people who constantly defend Chris in some ways ‘receive’ abuse themselves whether its physical, mental or emotional…Or they beat women themselves or abuse women emotionally or mentally…Or they have a hate issue against women where they will go out of their way to defend a man.
You got some women who will always find ways to ‘reason’ with what a man does. Its crazy. You got those who say “Well what did she do?” “Rihanna crazy anyway!” Thats some sick ass logic right there!
puhahahahahahah!!!! Everyone has an opinion. HATERS and MOTIVATORS. Its quite simple. If you like Chris SUPPORT. If you dont like Chris DONT SUPPORT. Its better to say nothing when you only have negative thoughts!!!! #ImJusSaying
ur right but some people dont get the concept we werent there we dont know the whole stroy because theres three sides to every story rihannas side, chrises side, and the truth just like a rihanna stan will defend her when people call her a slut or etc a chris fan has the right to support him as well he learned from his mistakes and did what he needed to do to make it right so why bash him?
true Chris made the biggest mistake, and one that some people will probably never forget or forgive but he’s young and so is Rihanna and the only way to move forward is to accept it, learn from it, and grow. we all mess up and if someone never has i applaud them but lets allow room for growth for both of them. pCe&LuV!
I love Chris…. It’s sad that his FAME album just leaked today..
You know, I’m starting to agree that he shouldn;t have to apologize anymore ;
but I don’t agree that he’s humble ! He can be very rude at times . . Hopefully his new album will do good *

LOL @ The 21 year old Blonde.
Only way to go is up. Chris is definitely a talented dude, nobody can take his talent away no matter what.
Good job Chris.
I’m sick and tired of people calling others “haters” for expressing their opinion. At the end of the day, Chris is nowhere near a man. A “grown man” doesn’t have to state their grown, first and foremost. Secondly , being that I dont believe in mistakes , Chris missed me with his apology . Chris is not a typical human like most people commenting claims he is. Chris holds the aspirations and dreams of our youth in the palm of his hands. His actions, be they positive or negative are not up to par with that of a role model and certainly not something I personally want our future generation looking up too; especially his ignorant, abusive , homophobic tendencies. He can make good music all his wants, that still doesn’t explain the person he appears to be in the public eye.
I agree 100%
future generations? chris never signed up to be a role model so why don’t you take your fancy ass and look up to something else. It’s pretty evident you haters call us fans groupies. well i woulda sworn he beat your ass by how upset, you are. you haters ride his dick more than we ever do. Who’s the groupie now huh??? kay, thanks, bye. good day
Speaking of aspirations, which do you get from Rihanna’s overly sexual image in the public, seeing how soooo many young women look up to her? *Don’t worry I’ll wait* Yeah, that’s what I thought. Chris’ apology was not for you, so It’s fine if he missed you. Get over yourself, and stop trying to play judge & jury!! Let him live his life, (blood suckers) you people are like parasites!
Sorry LFC but Chirs is a role model rather he wants to be one or not. It’s called being an artist, it’s not your choice. Nobody is hating, just telling the truth. Just because a person does not agree with your thought process about Chris does not make them a hater. What does his image say to a child. Yeah, it’s okay to beat on a women. Yeah, it’s oaky to leak nude pics and cuss all the time. NEGATIVE, that is what is wrong with the children now. Your comments do not even make sense. Sit down, it’s called a blog, you put your opinion out and others put theirs. Again, please sit down.
Joe, you are right. I feel like Chris and Rhianna and I could name a couple of others who could sit down. But what can I say, we pay them to be up there. If we did not support them, this would not be an issue. And you are right again, Chris apology was not to me. His apology went to all those who have been abused by men. His apology went out to those families who have lost a loved one because somebody abused them. This thing is not about album sales or being on top, it is about a issue within someone to make them think that can just lay their hands on someone. Rhianna or Chris whoever. We need to stop the violence. I cannot support anyone who feels like they are above the law. You being is fan is cool, I choose not to be, that does not make me a hater, it means that I am not his fan. Plan and simple.
None of us fans are care about people such as yourself. So if it bothers you that much, that he has fans that love his music and you don’t. Then turn to the left, don’t let the door hit you were the god lord split you. He is a 21 year old grown man. He appeals to a universal audiece. Yes a ratio of certain children.That is the parentals responsibility. He has to live his life, not others! and correction you said ”beat women” excuse me the situation happened with A ”WOMAN”. not ”women”. sit yo fried ass down this isn’t university no need for your essay. You may asWELL (insert harvard referencing here) with you illiterate ass. what do you want chris to do? kill himself? Like you’re a saint… pfft. He did what he was suppose to do with situation at hand. According by law he is free and only has answer to them and God. So take judgemental ass to a mirror & look at yourself. thanks DUECES!!!

@ kiara! amen!!
Like idk why you (LFC) feel the need to point out Rhianna’s flaws to me just because I said something about Chris? I feel the same way about her as I do Chris. I’m not biased . The fact is the post is about Chris Brown. Not Rihanna . So I made my comment apporiate to the subject at hand. Period. Point. Blank.
Also, LFC if your comment wasn’t fueled by negativity and ignorance maybe then i would be able to respect it and try to see your view point. But your comment holds no weight . It’s “fans” so as yourself that give legit fans a bad name. But hey ! what do I know? I’m just “hatin’” on CB, right?
It is crazy to read some of these comments. I use to be a Chris fan until all of this happened. Am I a Rhianna fan??? No, I do not have 1 album. I like some of her songs, but not enough to buy her CD. I will say this, her and Chris both need to sit down. They are both full of themselves. Why would you conduct an interview cussing. What are you saying to the small kids who follow you? It does not seem like Chris has learned his lesson. Leaking nude pics of yourself to get attention. He holds on to the sitaution just like Rhianna. Listen to the words he sings in some of his songs. He clearly is talking about Rhianna. I know some people are stans of Chris and that is cool. But what the pics reveal is totally wrong and cannot be excused. Of course people are going to continue to talk about it. He talked about how his dad use to abuse his mom years later. If he can talk about that, I can talk about him. People will not forget what he did, especially after the pics were released. And the newer ones that released where worse than the first one. HE BEAT her, it does not matter if she hit him first or not. A hit, does not deserve what he did to her. If you were in her shoes you may think differently. I will be glad when we get back to “real music” and not this mess Chris and Rhianna put out anyway. NEXT
I’m all for keeping it moving. If I was him, I wouldn’t field any questions regarding the incident or the acts afterwords, that includes giving breath to those that distanced themselves from him.
CB keep the talk strictly about the music and any other positive things, just keep it moving.
CB just needs to not talk about that incident , period point blank. As someone said earlier, just keep it moving. I am a huge rihanna fan, and the way I see it is , if she forgave him then who am i.
With that said, he sounds like an idiot calling the whole event a ‘mishap’. Like he should have said ‘incident’. ‘Mishap’ trivializes it and makes him seem overly arrogant.
Don’t these celebs have PR consultants to help them phrase things strategically?
Chris Brown has put out nothing but garbage since his second album……….Thats y I dont support him, I cant relate to any of that music and he is screaming for the wrong kind of attention with the naked pics on the net and tha hair…He’s LOSING IT!!! …That is All!
OMG, no one is defending what Chris did, he knows it was wrong and we know it was wrong.Unlike most Men he handled his business and showed humility.How long are you going to hold on to that, and we aren’t Chris and Rihanna, and she has moved on from it so why can’t we… I think it is foolish people are still upset, Being 19 and 21 that is a major growing period, and I’m sure he is a different person now. We always want to bring down black men, he is so young, and has a life ahead of him why bring him down off of one situation that happened 2years ago. Point is the boy is talented, I enjoy his music and acting, and i really see him giving back to the community… Good for you
Ok was i ever MAD at chris, no, Dissapointed YES, but honestly besides him being an entertainer IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME, i mean he should be done apologizing, HE DIDN’T HIT ME OR YOU, so why should he owe random people an apology? the only person he owes one to is Rihanna, and he did, so if SHE forgives him, who am I to stay mad at a man who did not put his hands on me, yall act like hitting women IS WHAT HE DOES EVERYDAY ALL DAY, No, he hit ONE WOMEN and wasn’t it revealed that THAT WOMEN has a violent past as well, it was shown that they BOTH put hands on each other prior, so i think Ms. Rihanna got a little physical herself that night, it’s just Chris is a man and had the upper hand
So many people are talking about God and Chris’s religion and Rihanna’s religion… what do they actually believe… like is Chris a Christian and has Rihanna come out as a member of the illuminati?
And about the beating… true, what he did was wrong, but he has apologized for it, the courts gave him a smack on the wrist and said don’t do it again and he learnt his lesson. Time spent mourning over the past is time wasted.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Where do you people find the energy to KEEP WRITING ABOUT THIS SHIT??? Everyone has their opinion by now and no minds are going to change. Its the same-ole-same-ole. Some of us are fans, some will never ever be. Enuf. CB should shut up too.
Grown men don’t need to curse to prove their point(s). I’m glad he was able to see who stuck around and who didn’t. If you are no longer sorry stop saying it, I can understand him with that. People will never forget though. But, I still see he is playing the fence game. I would have left the album at ‘forgiving all of my enemies’ and made a second album with a part 2 dedicated to my fan under the name. And people, he loves his fans because they are his boss…we are his boss. Just like our jobs we kiss the right amount of a*s to our boss to jump up in the game. He’ll love you until he don’t need you anymore.
Chris is still hurting. He’s definitely not proud of what he did and being that low triggered a coping mechanism that pushes that memory out – hence him not wanting to apologize for it anymore. But he still has a lot of growing up to do, which is unfortunately near impossible in the industry he’s in. I’ll pray for mature, godly male role models to come into his life to show him the way to Christ, so he’ll develop a heart change that will affect the rest of his lifestyle.
Signing out. @EllaBrinx
Yeah he dont need to apologize to people. The only person who needed it was Rhianna and nobody else. Whats done is done and i agree just move on.
I love me some Chris!!! It’s funny that ppl no longer are fans cuz of what he did but they still cool with friend, family member or neighbor who beat the shit out if they girl. Chris is human. We should only be judging him on his music. Nobody had shit to say when BeBe Winans beat his wife a week after the Chris & RiRi incident.

At the end of the day he has to live his life……it’s the same for Mick Vick (peeps are gonna keep calling him a dog killer) & R.Kelly (child molester he peed on people blah blah)……it’s done it’s over with…all names listed have moved on deserve to live their lives & do what they do best to “entertain”….only God can judge…..if u don’t like him(CB) that’s on u….if u want to remain biased & render hatred towards him again shame on you…..either way money is gonna be made….I’m just saying…
