Chris Brown Today Show interview was very different from last year’s interview, to say the least!
He didn’t go all Jasmine Sullivan on us, no chairs were thrown to bust out windows, no shirts were ripped off and he wasn’t breavin’ heavy during the interview…Way to go Chris! Its only been a year since he freaked out on the set of his last Today Show interview , but today Breezy showed up a a changed man or at least a work in progress.
When asked about his former relationships with Karrueche and Rihanna he handled the situation like a skilled diplomat! He answered the questions very candidly and even discussed his ongoing feud with Drake and Frank Ocean at ease!
Watch the full interview and read a few excerpts below…
On Being a Changed Man
I’ve been humbled by the whole experience. From me losing everything, you know, to me having to regain public opinion or whatever it is — but most importantly, knowing that what I did was totally wrong and having to kind of deal with myself and kind of forgive myself in the same breath and being able to apologize to, Rihanna and be that man that can be a man, you know?
On People Who May Think He’s Just Doing This to Sell Records
I think everybody is entitled to their opinion. For me, it’s just a learning process. You know, I have to just take it one day at a time. I can’t make everybody like me. I think for my album as far as what I’m promoting, the single or whatever, it’s just about me being positive. Whatever I’m doing with my music is to inspire the world and inspire people that have been in my situation or even anybody who’s trying to learn from it.”
On His Relationship With Rihanna
“We’re fine. I think in the actual interview they tried to depict that [we broke up]. I think they [got that] from
an interview from like a year ago. Yeah, we’re fine.”
“I think it’s just me proving myself once again. Knowing that what I did was wrong, and never doing it again. So as far as me and (Rihanna) are concerned, she knows my heart, and I know her heart. So I’m not really focused on the negative. Everything about it is positive for me. I did my 52 weeks of counseling and learned that it was absolutely wrong. It was counseling, a 52 week program. Every Monday in Virginia. I remember going and just sitting in there [thinking], ‘Why did I do what I did?’ And really wanting to just get help.
