Chris Brown Opens Up About Rihanna Assault, Talks New Music with Ryan Seacrest

Although Chris Brown continues to be scrutinized for the incident that took place four years ago, he’s had a lot to be all smiles about these days.

In a very candid interview on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM morning show, Brown opened up about the 2009 assault with off again/on again girlfriend that changed his life forever. According to E! News, the “Don’t Wake Me Up” singer at one point that he wasn’t sure if Rihanna would forgive him the way that she did. “I just tried my best to be the best man I could be over the years and just show her how remorseful and sorry I was for the incident and that time was probably the worst part of my life and being that she has and she’s a wonderful person I’m eternally grateful and thankful,” he explained to Seacrest.

He also acknowledged the strain it put on the relationship with his fans. “People are entitled to their opinions. I can’t go around blaming. It’s all about my responsibility and me growing up as a man,” he said. “So I think now that I’m becoming older, and trying to mature in this life under the public eye at all times, I have to focus on doing the right thing and being more of a humble individual.”

But it wasn’t all serious with Brown and Seacrest. The singer confirmed details about his sixth studio album, “X”, which is set to be released later this summer. Remember the pretty brunette he was pictured with? Well that was a still image from the first single “Fine China” set to be released April 1st.
