Tracks off of Chris Brown's album have been leaking daily as the public is eager to hear what the R&B singer's latest album, Graffiti, will offer in terms of revelations into his incident with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, and the latest release Famous Girl is causing quite a stir.
On the track, which is reminiscent of old-school R&B, Brown sings over the chorus: "Since I thought I found my woman/ There were other guys who thought the same thing about it/ Like damn, you let me down, down, down/ 'Cause you're famous, girl, for breaking hearts."
On the second verse of the track, Chris also makes reference to a rumored romance between Young Money rapper Drake and Rihanna saying, "Drake would say that you're the best he ever had. Rumors come and go but you keep a shadow. Everywhere you go it follows."
Towards the end of the song, Brown croons, "Too much pressure I wish I was frozen. Seems we lost our way. I hope you're happy being famous girl."
Rihanna and Drake quickly squashed rumors of a relationship during the summer after the New York Post claimed that the two were seen kissing at a bowling alley in New York City.
Graffiti will hit stores on December 8th, and ABC will air what is being billed as a "revealing, tell-all interview" with Chris Brown on December 4th.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg sentenced Chris Brown to 5 years of probation along with six months of community labor on Tuesday (August 25).
Other aspects of the plea agreement include Brown staying at least 100 yards away from Rihanna for the next five years unless they are attending an industry event. A probation report that was prepared for Brown's sentencing described two other domestic incidents between the former couple, neither of which was reported. The first incident happened about three months before the February 2008 beating while the couple was traveling in Europe; Rihanna slapped Brown during an argument, and he shoved her into a wall. In the second instance, Brown allegedly broke the front and passenger side windows on a Range Rover they were driving while visiting Barbados.
Brown's probation and community labor, which is actual labor as opposed to community service, will be performed in his home state of Virginia. Brown was also ordered to undergo one year of domestic violence counseling. Brown's initial sentencing was rescheduled because Judge Schnegg wanted assurance that Brown would actually perform physical labor. She was satisfied when she got a letter from Richmond Police Chief Bryan T. Norwood, which said he would directly oversee Brown's labor program. Rihanna's attorney, Donald Etra, said he didn't think the strict rules were necessary, but that he and Rihanna favored a less-stringent ruling that simply ordered Brown not to annoy, harass or molest his client.
"I am not amused with the chatter that has been on the airwaves and any violation of your probation in this case comes with the potential for state prison," Judge Schnegg told Brown during the hearing.
Brown was arrested February 8, hours after he was accused of beating Rihanna. The attack occurred in Los Angeles' Hancock Park neighborhood hours before both were scheduled to perform at the Grammy Awards.
If Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty, had his way Chris Brown would be locked away in jail for the alleged assault of his daughter. According to Fenty, Brown was handed a "light" sentence of community service and probation in connection with the well publicized physical altercation with Rihanna back in February.
As previously reported, Brown was ordered by the court to complete six months of community service, in addition to five years probation and attendance at a domestic violence program.
In Fenty's opinion, however, Brown's sentence pales in comparison to the "hell" Rihanna went through and he blames what he considers a faulty U.S. justice system.
"He should be in jail," Fenty told an unknown source. "Chris should have been sent to jail for what he did to my girl. He's got off lightly. Chris put her through hell."
Rumor has is that Rihanna does not agree, as she has reportedly asked to have the restraining order, aimed to keep Chris away from her, lifted.
For the first time Chris Brown publicly addressed the Rihanna situation in a very modern way. He posted a video on YouTube of course!
Chris and friend Lil Bow Wow, who you can hear in the background, recorded the video where he promotes his new album called 'Grafitti.' He addresses his haters and real fans and states 'I am Not a Monster.'
