2
00:00:29,404 --> 00:00:31,623
Nervous before the shows?
3
00:00:31,823 --> 00:00:32,824
I don't think it's nervous,
4
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,706
it's just like
anxiety, so to speak,
5
00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:36,628
but not in a stressful way.
6
00:00:36,828 --> 00:00:39,627
It's like me getting
ready, prepared,
7
00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:42,050
so it's just like, I'm
thinking about every moment,
8
00:00:42,251 --> 00:00:44,424
every step, and every
second, so it's just like,
9
00:00:44,628 --> 00:00:46,847
okay, cool, let's go out
there and do our thing.
10
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:48,674
Some nights are stronger
than other nights,
11
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,680
some nights I'm just confident
and just having fun,
12
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:53,512
but some nights, it's like,
I got a point to prove,
13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,814
show them why I need
to be doing this.
14
00:00:56,014 --> 00:00:57,937
You know, it's disappointing
for me in certain ways,
15
00:00:58,141 --> 00:00:59,358
because I feel like, you know,
16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,404
certain aspects of
my career sometimes
17
00:01:02,604 --> 00:01:05,198
are overshadowed by
the negative stuff.
18
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:08,369
So, it's like, it kind of like,
fucks with my head a lot.
19
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:10,663
Now, how I transition
my creativity,
20
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:13,866
it's basically all I wanna
kind of show, you know,
21
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,997
'cause I'm tired
of giving people
22
00:01:16,201 --> 00:01:18,078
something to talk
about, you know.
23
00:01:18,287 --> 00:01:19,038
They should be talking about how
24
00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:19,838
I'm the baddest motherfucker
25
00:01:20,038 --> 00:01:22,382
on the stage instead of--
26
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:25,382
You know, I'm the baddest
motherfucker in the courtroom.
27
00:01:25,586 --> 00:01:26,803
You know what I'm saying?
28
00:01:27,004 --> 00:01:27,926
I just try to keep a level head,
29
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:29,347
whether whatever
problems going on,
30
00:01:29,548 --> 00:01:30,800
like, everybody goes
through their shit,
31
00:01:31,008 --> 00:01:32,510
I go through my shit
most of the time.
32
00:01:32,718 --> 00:01:35,437
You know, I got a problem
everyday, but it's like,
33
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:37,890
I try to just keep
my head on straight,
34
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:39,441
and I kind of channel
some of that energy,
35
00:01:39,641 --> 00:01:41,860
if I'm angry, if I'm
upset about something,
36
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:43,027
I take it out on the stage.
37
00:01:53,322 --> 00:01:54,665
Standing here with
a guy right now
38
00:01:54,865 --> 00:01:56,208
that knows everyone
on the red carpet,
39
00:01:56,408 --> 00:01:57,625
and everybody wants
to work with him.
40
00:01:57,826 --> 00:01:59,248
It's been a blessing, I just,
41
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:01,251
I just can't do nothing
but thank all of my fans,
42
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:03,378
I just appreciate all the
support, it's been incredible.
43
00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:05,297
I I ain't goin' back no more,
I ain't goin' back no more
44
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:07,468
I I ain't goin' back no more
45
00:02:07,669 --> 00:02:11,299
And the winner is, Chris Brown.
46
00:02:11,506 --> 00:02:12,849
I just wanna say,
thank all the fans,
47
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:15,223
I love you with all my heart.
48
00:02:15,427 --> 00:02:17,521
You're 23 years old, I
mentioned you came out
49
00:02:17,721 --> 00:02:19,268
with your first music
when you were 16,
50
00:02:19,473 --> 00:02:20,645
you were discovered at 13.
51
00:02:20,849 --> 00:02:22,226
Oprah} Chris Brown riding high,
52
00:02:22,434 --> 00:02:25,062
brand new CD out,
F.A.M.E., it's out today,
53
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:26,988
already has three
number one hits,
54
00:02:27,189 --> 00:02:28,691
a fourth one
climbing the charts.
55
00:02:28,899 --> 00:02:31,118
reporter} He's been labeled
hip hop's bad boy.
56
00:02:31,318 --> 00:02:32,160
Chris Brown is
57
00:02:32,361 --> 00:02:33,283
accused of assault and battery.
58
00:02:33,487 --> 00:02:34,830
The alleged fight broke out
59
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:36,953
inside a Lamborghini
that was located...
60
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:38,204
I'm gonna tell you something,
61
00:02:38,408 --> 00:02:38,704
let me be honest.
62
00:02:38,909 --> 00:02:41,037
I was disappointed,
almost felt let down,
63
00:02:41,244 --> 00:02:43,167
because I said,
this kid could be
64
00:02:43,372 --> 00:02:45,045
the great superstar.
65
00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:47,133
He was sentenced to five
years of probation,
66
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:49,803
and 180 days of community labor.
67
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:51,004
I lost my best friend,
68
00:02:51,213 --> 00:02:53,762
everything I knew switched.
69
00:02:53,965 --> 00:02:54,841
Brown reportedly
70
00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:55,846
used a chair to smash a window
71
00:02:56,051 --> 00:02:57,052
-in his dressing room.
72
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:58,978
- I guess he's not
a morning person.
73
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:00,101
Interviewer} How
are you different?
74
00:03:00,097 --> 00:03:00,689
Chris} I've been humbled
75
00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:02,891
by the whole experience,
from me losing everything,
76
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:06,024
most importantly, knowing that
what I did was totally wrong.
77
00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:07,354
It's also been said
78
00:03:07,562 --> 00:03:08,563
people like comeback stories.
79
00:03:08,772 --> 00:03:13,073
For me, it's about proving
myself to my fans.
80
00:03:13,276 --> 00:03:15,904
I You put me on layaway
81
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:19,708
J" You just like to heart shop
82
00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:22,457
r I think that it's over
83
00:03:22,661 --> 00:03:26,291
r I think that it's over
84
00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:35,966
I I swear to God I'm moving on
85
00:03:47,102 --> 00:03:50,572
I come from a small town,
Tappahannock, Virginia.
86
00:03:50,772 --> 00:03:52,740
As you see me
throughout my journey,
87
00:03:52,941 --> 00:03:54,818
I was about 15 when I started.
88
00:03:55,026 --> 00:03:57,529
A' Oh, tell me fellas
have you seen her
89
00:04:00,282 --> 00:04:01,750
It was a good start for me as a,
90
00:04:01,950 --> 00:04:05,830
as a kid, to be able to kind
of start off green, in a way.
91
00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:07,584
Chris was very, very active
92
00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:12,295
at a very early age, probably
one, before he was walking.
93
00:04:12,502 --> 00:04:13,924
He started out in child care,
94
00:04:14,129 --> 00:04:15,722
'cause I run a
child care center,
95
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:17,765
and he was probably one
of the most active
96
00:04:17,966 --> 00:04:20,890
child in the facility itself.
97
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:22,846
Since he was, like, two,
98
00:04:23,054 --> 00:04:25,807
he wanted to look at
Michael Jackson videos
99
00:04:26,016 --> 00:04:28,314
and dance, I mean, he
could come to my house
100
00:04:28,518 --> 00:04:31,237
and get in between the
doorways and actually
101
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:34,032
climb them and do
backflips, you know, so,
102
00:04:34,232 --> 00:04:38,112
he was always full of
energy, all the time.
103
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,993
He would go over to
relatives' houses,
104
00:04:40,197 --> 00:04:42,120
and when that happened nobody
wanted him to spend the night,
105
00:04:42,324 --> 00:04:44,292
'cause Chris was jumping
from bed to bed.
106
00:04:44,493 --> 00:04:45,836
I was a fan of Michael Jackson's
107
00:04:46,036 --> 00:04:46,958
all my life, of course,
108
00:04:47,162 --> 00:04:49,335
so he would sit in
front of the TV,
109
00:04:49,539 --> 00:04:51,962
he would try to mimic his moves.
110
00:04:52,167 --> 00:04:54,010
Being able to see stuff on TV,
111
00:04:54,211 --> 00:04:55,758
whether it be my idol,
Michael Jackson,
112
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:58,215
or anybody that I looked up
to at the time, you know,
113
00:04:58,423 --> 00:05:01,097
I'd be able to try to put
myself in that world.
114
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:02,644
I just tried to always
look at it like,
115
00:05:02,844 --> 00:05:04,221
"okay, I could do
that," you know,
116
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:06,523
being from a small town
where there's not too many
117
00:05:06,723 --> 00:05:09,647
opportunities, but have
that mentality to try
118
00:05:09,851 --> 00:05:12,479
to push forward and be
something bigger and greater.
119
00:05:12,687 --> 00:05:14,439
In school, he liked to be
120
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:17,151
the center of attraction.
121
00:05:17,359 --> 00:05:18,827
You know, it was a
cool upbringing,
122
00:05:19,027 --> 00:05:21,871
real country, high school
of about maybe 500 kids,
123
00:05:22,072 --> 00:05:25,201
my graduating class was
probably about 30.
124
00:05:25,408 --> 00:05:27,160
Chris was a haPPY go
lucky type of kid,
125
00:05:27,369 --> 00:05:30,748
was always smiling, always
moving around, dancing.
126
00:05:30,956 --> 00:05:32,833
Every now and then, you might
catch him over there singing,
127
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:35,009
even on the basketball
court he was somewhat,
128
00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:36,462
I guess you could say creative,
129
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:38,923
and always moving and
had different moves
130
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:40,552
than the other kids.
131
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:42,350
I used to go to
all of his games,
132
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:43,723
he used to show off a lot.
133
00:05:43,927 --> 00:05:45,270
He's like, doing his
moves on the court,
134
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:47,472
and I'm like, are we
playing ball here or what?
135
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:50,150
He was really artistic,
he loved to draw.
136
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,569
They were mostly
drawing assignments,
137
00:05:52,769 --> 00:05:54,942
and he was very good with
the drawing, shading,
138
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:57,274
and detail, and also
with the coloring.
139
00:05:57,482 --> 00:05:59,325
He missed some time
basically because his,
140
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:01,153
I guess the routines
he was going through.
141
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:02,863
With my mom, she was a
supporter from day one
142
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:05,449
with my music, and my dad,
you know, he was there too,
143
00:06:05,657 --> 00:06:07,785
he actually first taught
me how to moonwalk.
144
00:06:07,993 --> 00:06:10,746
He used to just do it on gravel
one day, and I was like,
145
00:06:10,954 --> 00:06:12,080
man, how did he do that.
146
00:06:12,289 --> 00:06:14,291
He was a kid, just
acting out what he saw.
147
00:06:14,499 --> 00:06:18,504
But he actually sung on
church choirs at a early age.
148
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:20,055
He was good at everything,
149
00:06:20,255 --> 00:06:21,848
whether he played
basketball or football.
150
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:23,391
He had his own style.
151
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:25,686
He might not have always
had the means to have,
152
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:27,763
like, the best of
everything, because,
153
00:06:27,971 --> 00:06:29,223
you know, times are hard.
154
00:06:29,431 --> 00:06:31,900
But he would take older
clothes, rip them up,
155
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:33,477
tie them back a certain way,
156
00:06:33,685 --> 00:06:35,733
adjust them and
make his own style.
157
00:06:35,937 --> 00:06:37,655
He would dye his hair red.
158
00:06:37,856 --> 00:06:39,824
And then he would go to
school, then he'd sing,
159
00:06:40,025 --> 00:06:42,153
like at basketball games
or football games,
160
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,907
and all the girls would
crowd around him,
161
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:45,364
so, he really enjoyed that.
162
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:47,745
I hate performing when
there ain't no girls!
163
00:06:47,949 --> 00:06:49,246
When there ain't no girls
it just takes the life
164
00:06:49,451 --> 00:06:50,577
out the performance,
'cause you can't just--
165
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:58,802
Well, my success, I would
have to give it all
166
00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:00,003
to my family, you know,
167
00:07:00,211 --> 00:07:02,213
I think our values
as family members,
168
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:05,847
and whether it be your mom or
your dad, cousins, uncles,
169
00:07:06,051 --> 00:07:08,679
aunts, grandma and grandpa,
170
00:07:08,887 --> 00:07:11,766
I think everybody had a
real warm and humble
171
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:13,316
approach at life.
172
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:14,768
See, see, how she, you know she,
173
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:16,353
you know she's really
feeling what you're saying
174
00:07:16,561 --> 00:07:17,437
when she laugh like that.
175
00:07:19,064 --> 00:07:20,987
Listen, listen, listen, look at her!
Caught her!
176
00:07:21,191 --> 00:07:23,614
Chris's mom, she's very
supportive of his career.
177
00:07:23,818 --> 00:07:25,786
From the beginning she
always believed in him.
178
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:27,955
She's actually the one
that said, you can sing!
179
00:07:28,156 --> 00:07:29,373
We�, his father worked
at the gas station,
180
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:30,200
there was a guy came by
181
00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:32,285
and he said he was
looking for some talent,
182
00:07:32,494 --> 00:07:33,245
and his father said
183
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:35,000
well, you know, my son sings.
184
00:07:35,205 --> 00:07:37,833
It was something that I knew
that he was just interested in,
185
00:07:38,041 --> 00:07:39,338
so I just went with the flow.
186
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:40,543
She pretty much dropped it and
187
00:07:40,752 --> 00:07:42,550
went to New York to be with him.
188
00:07:42,754 --> 00:07:44,301
From there, they did
a little video,
189
00:07:44,506 --> 00:07:47,726
and the video got into
the hands of L.A. Reid,
190
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:49,974
and L.A. Reid saw it and
fell in love with him.
191
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:51,475
When I heard about Chris,
192
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,852
L.A. Reid wanted my influence,
193
00:07:53,056 --> 00:07:54,979
and he said, you know, I
really wish that you could
194
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:57,857
have a conversation with Chris.
195
00:07:58,061 --> 00:08:00,280
I mean, you tell him
what you wanna tell him,
196
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,198
as long as you tell
him to come with me.
197
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:03,946
Tell me about the phone
call from Usher,
198
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:05,322
that was a little crazy.
199
00:08:05,527 --> 00:08:06,949
Yeah, I mean, it was exciting,
200
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:09,121
because, like, I never talked
to a celebrity before.
201
00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:10,369
Yeah?
202
00:08:10,573 --> 00:08:12,246
But, like, it was my first time,
203
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:13,997
he called me, and he
was like, what's up?
204
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:15,545
And I was like, who is this?
205
00:08:15,745 --> 00:08:17,122
He's like, oh, Usher,
I was like, oh, word?
206
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:20,334
I told him to make his
decision where he goes
207
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:23,170
based off of what's real
more than anything.
208
00:08:23,378 --> 00:08:24,925
You gotta rock with family.
209
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:26,848
So he was like, "Yeah, man, I
hear you about to get signed
210
00:08:27,048 --> 00:08:28,470
with a different label.
211
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:30,518
I was just asking him, like,
who should I go with?
212
00:08:30,719 --> 00:08:33,097
And he was like, just make sure
it's the best decision for you,
213
00:08:33,304 --> 00:08:34,521
whatever decision you pick,
214
00:08:34,723 --> 00:08:35,849
and whatever decision you make
215
00:08:36,057 --> 00:08:37,980
is the best for you.
216
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:41,063
That was our first conversation,
across the board.
217
00:08:41,271 --> 00:08:43,444
It started from there.
218
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:51,661
His fame came instant, you
know, it came all at once.
219
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:54,334
He was discovered at the
age of 13 at a gas station
220
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:55,877
where his father worked,
221
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:58,421
now he is a platinum
recording artist.
222
00:08:58,621 --> 00:09:01,090
Ladies and gentlemen,
Chris Brown.
223
00:09:01,291 --> 00:09:04,340
Being able to maneuver at
15 and try to, you know,
224
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:06,217
and having the success that
I did have at the time,
225
00:09:06,421 --> 00:09:08,048
I was like, man, this is crazy.
226
00:09:08,256 --> 00:09:11,886
When "Run It" came out, I heard
him screaming all the way out,
227
00:09:12,093 --> 00:09:13,970
Mom, Mom, my song
is on the radio!
228
00:09:20,351 --> 00:09:21,694
I remember meeting Chris
Brown for the first time
229
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:27,402
in Miami, we just got
done recording "Run It,"
230
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:30,032
and as soon as it got
done out the studio,
231
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:32,159
it got in my hands and
I went on the radio
232
00:09:32,363 --> 00:09:35,537
and broke it, helped
break that record,
233
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:37,585
it was a record I believed in,
234
00:09:37,786 --> 00:09:39,880
I knew he was gonna
be the next superstar
235
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,048
the day I met him.
236
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:45,715
I remember the first time Chris
Brown came on 106 & Park.
237
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:50,174
I saw people lined up all
the way down the block,
238
00:09:50,381 --> 00:09:53,009
and I didn't know, I thought
some kind of fire drill
239
00:09:53,218 --> 00:09:53,969
was taking place
240
00:09:54,177 --> 00:09:55,349
or something like that,
241
00:09:55,553 --> 00:09:57,021
and as I got closer,
I just, you know,
242
00:09:57,222 --> 00:09:58,974
and I saw all those kids,
and then I looked,
243
00:09:59,182 --> 00:10:02,152
and I saw they had spray
paint on the t-shirts and,
244
00:10:02,352 --> 00:10:05,276
you know, the signs that
said marry me, Breezy,
245
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,108
I love you, Breezy,
Chris Brown for life,
246
00:10:08,316 --> 00:10:10,694
and I was like,
what is going on!
247
00:10:10,902 --> 00:10:13,121
It was fun, but also I'm
sure it was very stressful,
248
00:10:13,321 --> 00:10:16,200
because he couldn't just
walk into the store
249
00:10:16,407 --> 00:10:20,332
and go shopping and just go
play basketball at the gym
250
00:10:20,537 --> 00:10:21,959
like he used to.
251
00:10:22,163 --> 00:10:24,586
It wasn't the same anymore.
He didn't understand that,
252
00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:26,418
because he figured he could
just go, and he'd be fine.
253
00:10:26,626 --> 00:10:28,094
I'm a normal kid,
I'm just Chris,
254
00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:30,763
I'm like, no, it doesn't
work that way anymore.
255
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:33,934
Well, you know, being 14
and 15 with a record deal,
256
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:35,932
you know, it's the best
feeling in the world,
257
00:10:36,136 --> 00:10:38,013
but it also comes with
complications, you know.
258
00:10:38,221 --> 00:10:39,564
I think it's tough for anybody
259
00:10:39,764 --> 00:10:40,560
to start out at 14, 15,
260
00:10:40,765 --> 00:10:42,438
'cause you ain't
went to high school,
261
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,895
you ain't had a chance to like,
just live a regular life,
262
00:10:45,103 --> 00:10:47,572
you've already been a star, so
a lot of that's overwhelming.
263
00:10:47,772 --> 00:10:49,524
Being that, most of your family
264
00:10:49,732 --> 00:10:50,733
have dealt with poverty,
265
00:10:50,942 --> 00:10:55,618
and under minimum wage kind
of living most of your life,
266
00:10:55,822 --> 00:10:59,918
$10,000 to me was like,
dang, I'm rich, you know?
267
00:11:00,118 --> 00:11:01,745
My son calls me, I'm at work,
268
00:11:01,953 --> 00:11:03,921
and he goes, Mom,
like, you know,
269
00:11:04,122 --> 00:11:06,341
there's people outside
our door recording
270
00:11:06,541 --> 00:11:09,090
and taking pictures,
from paparazzi to,
271
00:11:09,294 --> 00:11:13,765
even people you knew just made
it different and difficult
272
00:11:13,965 --> 00:11:15,683
having a normal life.
273
00:11:15,884 --> 00:11:17,261
I just was more overwhelmed by--
274
00:11:17,468 --> 00:11:18,970
but just not letting
it shape me like,
275
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:20,852
not letting the
money kind of shape
276
00:11:21,055 --> 00:11:22,147
what I wanna do as an artist,
277
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:24,100
like with every family
you had problems
278
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:25,526
and complications, you know.
279
00:11:25,727 --> 00:11:28,355
Sometimes jealousy and
envy plays a big role.
280
00:11:28,563 --> 00:11:30,110
It's kind of new to them,
281
00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:33,159
it's not really something
that even myself
282
00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:35,782
really could comprehend
at the time.
283
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:38,160
His mom and dad, they had
a great relationship,
284
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:41,789
and one day I guess they
were all together home
285
00:11:41,993 --> 00:11:45,497
as a family and then it,
you know, it fell apart.
286
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:47,503
Chris not having a
father in the house
287
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,176
made him to grow up faster
than what he actually had to.
288
00:11:50,376 --> 00:11:53,425
It was a lot, it was more than
I knew that he could handle.
289
00:11:53,630 --> 00:11:56,179
What I always called it
is, is I'd tell Chris,
290
00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:57,224
it's God's balance,
291
00:11:57,425 --> 00:11:59,678
God is gonna give you
that great opportunity
292
00:11:59,886 --> 00:12:01,980
to be something fantastic,
and then at the same time,
293
00:12:02,180 --> 00:12:04,182
he's gonna level
darkness around you
294
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:05,733
that's gonna keep you balanced.
295
00:12:05,934 --> 00:12:07,277
So, with a person that's 14, 15,
296
00:12:07,477 --> 00:12:09,605
hopefully they have someone
there to recognize
297
00:12:09,812 --> 00:12:12,941
the dark patches, and say,
"okay, yeah, we can do this,
298
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:15,026
but you just gotta be
mindful of that. "
299
00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:16,862
Yeah, it was a challenge,
and this growing up
300
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:19,823
thinking that he was
in this adult world,
301
00:12:20,031 --> 00:12:22,454
and thinking that he could
deal with the adults, too,
302
00:12:22,659 --> 00:12:24,661
but no, just because
it's there for you,
303
00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:27,372
you're not gonna do that,
that is not what you do.
304
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:31,050
For me, having my mother
there created a balance,
305
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:34,471
and I think it was a bit
difficult, period, for him.
306
00:12:34,671 --> 00:12:35,593
You sound very driven.
307
00:12:35,797 --> 00:12:37,014
- Yeah, definitely.
- Yeah.
308
00:12:37,215 --> 00:12:39,217
- You live with your mom, right?
- Yeah.
309
00:12:39,425 --> 00:12:40,927
I think he felt that he
had to take care of me.
310
00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:44,435
I gotta take care of my mom
because my dad is not there,
311
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,232
I'm the dad of the house,
312
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:48,526
or he felt that he was
the man of the house,
313
00:12:48,726 --> 00:12:52,151
that's how he thought, and
that's actually what he said.
314
00:12:52,355 --> 00:12:54,528
Your family you expect
to be your family.
315
00:12:54,732 --> 00:12:59,329
So, even family sometimes,
you know, change, and.
316
00:12:59,529 --> 00:13:01,202
At that point, it
was kind of hard,
317
00:13:01,406 --> 00:13:05,081
'cause Chris was back and
forth with me and his father.
318
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:09,540
Um... and it was hard for his
father because I had left.
319
00:13:09,747 --> 00:13:11,670
He grew up so fast he
didn't really get to have
320
00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:17,176
a childhood or a teenage
life of a normal person.
321
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:18,677
I actually wanted him
to actually speak
322
00:13:18,881 --> 00:13:20,178
to a psychiatrist
323
00:13:20,383 --> 00:13:22,351
to just prepare him
324
00:13:22,552 --> 00:13:23,974
for what was about to happen,
325
00:13:24,178 --> 00:13:25,771
because he blew up so fast,
326
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:28,225
knowing that he would not
know how to handle it,
327
00:13:28,433 --> 00:13:31,152
so that he could talk about
it, and how it made him feel,
328
00:13:31,352 --> 00:13:33,446
but we never could
get him to do that.
329
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:35,114
I wanna be at the
pinnacle, like,
330
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:37,659
the highest point to
where I'm known as like,
331
00:13:37,859 --> 00:13:39,361
a legend, almost.
332
00:13:42,363 --> 00:13:44,582
Two years ago, this artist
was just another kid
333
00:13:44,782 --> 00:13:45,374
in high school.
334
00:13:45,575 --> 00:13:47,077
Now, two years later,
335
00:13:47,285 --> 00:13:51,165
he's one of the biggest
stars in the world.
336
00:13:51,372 --> 00:13:55,002
Tonight, performing at the
VMAs for the very first time,
337
00:13:55,209 --> 00:13:57,132
Chris Brown.
338
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:11,192
Chris} I was backstage and my,
339
00:14:11,392 --> 00:14:13,235
my dancer, he ran in,
Moody, he was like,
340
00:14:13,436 --> 00:14:15,154
"yo, you gotta see him,
he's on stage right now,
341
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:17,483
he's crazy," and I was like,
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
342
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:21,240
And out of nowhere, I heard
this groundswell of, like,
343
00:14:21,444 --> 00:14:24,539
hysteria, you know what
I'm saying, like, these,
344
00:14:24,739 --> 00:14:28,915
it was just loud, it was loud
as it was when I was on stage.
345
00:14:35,124 --> 00:14:38,094
So I ran out there, and
there he was, killing it.
346
00:14:38,294 --> 00:14:40,092
Then I realized, "oh my God,
347
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:42,970
he is truly gifted,
he's talented, man,"
348
00:14:43,174 --> 00:14:45,176
in a way that we haven't seen
349
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:47,638
in a long, long time, you know.
350
00:14:47,845 --> 00:14:51,975
He has a gift of, a gift
like Michael Jackson had,
351
00:14:52,183 --> 00:14:53,981
that makes you scratch
your head and say,
352
00:14:54,185 --> 00:14:57,064
what else is he doing, because
I've seen these steps before,
353
00:14:57,271 --> 00:14:58,568
I've seen these moves before,
354
00:14:58,773 --> 00:15:01,196
but what else is
Chris Brown doing?
355
00:15:03,361 --> 00:15:05,159
When I got in the game,
I kind of was like,
356
00:15:05,363 --> 00:15:07,866
I wouldn't say alone,
but I was, like,
357
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:09,371
to myself I had to prove myself.
358
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:11,077
People wanted to be like,
"okay, well, cool,
359
00:15:11,285 --> 00:15:13,583
what is this kid about,
or what can he do?"
360
00:15:13,788 --> 00:15:16,132
Chris Brown is in the building.
361
00:15:16,332 --> 00:15:21,179
I remember Chris's first
BET Awards performance.
362
00:15:21,379 --> 00:15:23,677
I remember he came out
with that white jacket,
363
00:15:23,881 --> 00:15:25,258
I think I was backstage
at the time,
364
00:15:25,466 --> 00:15:27,184
I had to present shortly after,
365
00:15:27,385 --> 00:15:29,228
and I just remembered
hearing the rumbling,
366
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:31,022
and so we went, we're
looking at the monitor,
367
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:33,896
and we're just
watching this kid,
368
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,444
we're watching him kill it.
369
00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:38,271
This dude is really,
really special.
370
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:39,401
I knew he was special,
371
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:41,278
but I didn't realize how
incredible the dancing
372
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:43,701
was until that day.
373
00:15:43,901 --> 00:15:47,371
And I feel blessed to have him.
374
00:15:47,572 --> 00:15:49,791
Really showed the best
of Chris's ability
375
00:15:49,991 --> 00:15:53,746
to sing and dance and
win over a crowd.
376
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:55,250
Only person having
star power like that
377
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:57,082
is Michael Jackson.
378
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:03,926
There's Michael Jackson,
and there's Chris Brown.
379
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:05,803
And that's just facts.
380
00:16:06,007 --> 00:16:08,726
Just like Michael Jackson
opened the door for Usher,
381
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:13,898
I believe that Usher
opened the door for Chris.
382
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:18,478
For any person, African-American
artists period,
383
00:16:18,686 --> 00:16:20,688
to have come up in that
time and be successful,
384
00:16:20,897 --> 00:16:24,697
and have that very delicate
mixture of being a singer,
385
00:16:24,901 --> 00:16:28,121
dancer, performer, entertainer,
386
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:30,574
man, it was hard.
387
00:16:30,781 --> 00:16:33,660
He was a trailblazer,
he was setting a tone.
388
00:16:33,868 --> 00:16:37,338
You know, there was a shift
in how things were sounding,
389
00:16:37,538 --> 00:16:41,259
and there was this shift
that was happening from,
390
00:16:41,459 --> 00:16:44,463
you know, the grungey street
sound to how rap was just
391
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:48,265
so hard, to how hip-hop and
R&B and everything was like,
392
00:16:48,466 --> 00:16:51,845
turning into more
dance, and more fun.
393
00:16:52,053 --> 00:16:54,101
When I first heard
Chris's sound,
394
00:16:54,305 --> 00:16:56,933
I was definitely, I just
remember, it was like,
395
00:16:57,141 --> 00:16:59,815
kids just getting always
down, like on the streets,
396
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:02,818
and doing all these beatbox
dances, and, like,
397
00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:05,491
I'm not a dancer, but I
definitely was dancing,
398
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:07,819
and I think what Chris
started was kind of like
399
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:10,906
that confidence boost
in, not only males,
400
00:17:11,113 --> 00:17:12,786
but I think in females too,
401
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:14,992
and I think he paid
a lot of respect
402
00:17:15,201 --> 00:17:17,374
to the dancer community.
403
00:17:17,578 --> 00:17:20,172
I just remember seeing
this young, fresh face,
404
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:23,718
a kid, like he was about
to take over the world
405
00:17:23,918 --> 00:17:25,340
in so many ways.
406
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:27,172
'Cause it seems like
this whole thing
407
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:29,724
just happened so quickly, like,
how does it seem for you?
408
00:17:29,924 --> 00:17:30,971
It just, it's just a blessing,
409
00:17:31,175 --> 00:17:32,677
it's been going real, real fast,
410
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:34,603
everything's happening
just so fast.
411
00:17:34,804 --> 00:17:36,772
I was excited for him,
he was so excited.
412
00:17:36,973 --> 00:17:39,522
But after that, I guess
he blew up instantly,
413
00:17:39,725 --> 00:17:41,693
we was on a tour, we went
here, we went there,
414
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:44,317
everything was-- and he was
so excited and so happy
415
00:17:44,522 --> 00:17:46,820
in the music industry
at that time.
416
00:17:47,024 --> 00:17:48,651
Woman} Chris Brown? - What's up?
417
00:17:48,859 --> 00:17:50,452
woman} Chris Brown? - Yeah.
418
00:17:50,653 --> 00:17:52,405
- Hi.
- Hey!
419
00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:54,206
It's your boy Chris Brown, man,
420
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,080
you gotta run a siren on it,
man, you gonna have to drop it,
421
00:17:56,284 --> 00:17:58,127
you gonna have to do the
dang thing on it, man,
422
00:17:58,327 --> 00:17:59,419
you ought to know how you do it,
423
00:17:59,662 --> 00:18:00,788
on Power 106, where
hip-hop lives.
424
00:18:00,997 --> 00:18:02,374
R I gotta give her game proper
425
00:18:02,582 --> 00:18:03,879
I Spit it so she get it
426
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,212
Yo.
427
00:18:10,631 --> 00:18:13,054
I Or what about her style?
428
00:18:17,847 --> 00:18:20,726
Once I got an opportunity
to continuously make music,
429
00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:25,029
and be creative, and dance,
and show people my talents,
430
00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:27,357
I think that
overpowered everything
431
00:18:27,565 --> 00:18:30,569
as a whole, I think,
people kind of saw it,
432
00:18:30,776 --> 00:18:33,245
and kind of took it for
what it was worth,
433
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:35,073
and it was like, "oh you
know what, this guy is,
434
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:37,579
is really talented, I
think he has potential,
435
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:39,330
I think he can do his thing."
436
00:18:39,535 --> 00:18:41,333
What he was able to
do as a performer was
437
00:18:41,537 --> 00:18:44,962
kind of effortless in the
way that he performed.
438
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:47,715
I don't know if it was
just his passion for it,
439
00:18:47,918 --> 00:18:50,421
or the fact that he
was well-studied,
440
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:53,600
or just the simple fact
that he just knew where
441
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,518
to put every move, it was
just perfectly placed,
442
00:18:56,719 --> 00:19:00,064
he knew his choreography,
he was well prepared, man.
443
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:03,313
But greater than just
understanding choreography,
444
00:19:03,517 --> 00:19:06,236
he understood the magic
of singing and dancing,
445
00:19:06,437 --> 00:19:08,360
and that right there is
a technique that not
446
00:19:08,564 --> 00:19:10,111
every artist understands,
447
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:12,569
it takes a lot of
hard work and focus,
448
00:19:12,777 --> 00:19:15,781
and as a teenager, for him
to be able to do that,
449
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:18,036
I just knew that
this kid definitely
450
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,834
is headed for major success.
451
00:19:21,035 --> 00:19:25,256
Performing a fun new
anthem, Chris Brown!
452
00:19:25,456 --> 00:19:31,384
I think he definitely helped
take kind of R&B and hip-hop
453
00:19:31,587 --> 00:19:34,932
and make it more
popular, for sure,
454
00:19:35,132 --> 00:19:38,511
make it more pop, and more
radio, and just more Top 40.
455
00:19:38,719 --> 00:19:41,689
He definitely has his kind
of finger on the pulse
456
00:19:41,889 --> 00:19:44,358
of the sound of the streets.
457
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:45,605
There's lots of great singers,
458
00:19:45,810 --> 00:19:47,278
there's amazing, great
artists out there,
459
00:19:47,478 --> 00:19:49,901
but not everybody sings
and dances and performs
460
00:19:50,106 --> 00:19:52,700
on a level like a
Chris Brown does.
461
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:55,028
Team Breezy, they go hard.
462
00:19:55,236 --> 00:19:56,658
You know, they were crazy.
463
00:19:56,862 --> 00:19:59,490
Any time we had like a,
any time you had a video,
464
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:02,999
it was always voted number
one, any time there was like,
465
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:05,421
any type of competition between
him and other artists,
466
00:20:05,621 --> 00:20:08,500
he would kind of always blow
people out of the water.
467
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:10,460
I just try to put 100%
into everything I do,
468
00:20:10,668 --> 00:20:13,342
my music, you know, what I'm
doing as an everyday person,
469
00:20:13,546 --> 00:20:15,469
so, you know, I just wanna
influence and inspire
470
00:20:15,673 --> 00:20:17,016
the world just to be
better, you know.
471
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:18,638
Hopefully be better
with my music.
472
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:22,473
He had this energy about
him that was unreal.
473
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,650
Like, he was nonstop,
every song he played,
474
00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:30,526
he had a different idea for
it, he had the video for it.
475
00:20:36,402 --> 00:20:39,326
What I loved the most about
Chris is his presence.
476
00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:41,703
His presence really stands out.
477
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:44,911
You know, I mean, you know that
thing when people are like,
478
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,666
they're just superstars?
479
00:20:46,871 --> 00:20:48,373
Chris is just a superstar.
480
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:50,254
Standing here with a guy right
now that knows everyone
481
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:52,506
on the red carpet and everybody
wants to work with him.
482
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:54,132
He's got three
nominations tonight,
483
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:55,758
of course, Chris Brown,
how you doing, buddy?
484
00:20:55,963 --> 00:20:57,465
I'm good, man, how about
yourself, you good?
485
00:20:57,673 --> 00:20:58,890
Are you kidding me, hanging
out with you guys?
486
00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:00,138
A great year for you.
487
00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:01,685
Yeah, it's been a blessing,
488
00:21:01,886 --> 00:21:03,479
I just can't do nothing
but thank all my fans,
489
00:21:03,679 --> 00:21:06,182
I just appreciate all the
support, it's been incredible.
490
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:09,644
And the winner is Chris Brown.
491
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:24,742
I'm gonna try to keep it short,
492
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:28,625
they got the countdown
on the prompter, so,
493
00:21:28,829 --> 00:21:31,833
I'm kind of, totally, I would
have given it to Coldplay,
494
00:21:31,999 --> 00:21:35,845
but, I'm really, I'm
lost for words,
495
00:21:36,045 --> 00:21:37,422
I just wanna say,
thank all the fans,
496
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:39,177
'cause I love you with
all my heart, I just--
497
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:40,348
Thank you.
498
00:21:42,384 --> 00:21:45,354
You know, I went from being
on top of the world,
499
00:21:45,554 --> 00:21:47,397
number one songs, and, you know,
500
00:21:47,598 --> 00:21:50,101
being kind of like America's
sweetheart, you know,
501
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:52,687
to being public
enemy number one.
502
00:22:04,406 --> 00:22:05,658
Prosecutors have charged
503
00:22:05,866 --> 00:22:07,209
singer Chris Brown
with two felonies,
504
00:22:07,409 --> 00:22:08,080
including assault...
505
00:22:08,285 --> 00:22:09,912
Allegations of
domestic violence.
506
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,122
Has damaged his
squeaky clean image.
507
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:13,423
Allegations turned more serious,
508
00:22:13,415 --> 00:22:13,756
much more violent.
509
00:22:14,041 --> 00:22:15,213
Grammy Award nominee
has just posted bail
510
00:22:15,417 --> 00:22:17,545
on criminal threat charges.
511
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:24,556
I think I was about 15
512
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,933
the first time we actually met.
513
00:22:29,265 --> 00:22:32,485
It was a at show, I
think a Z100 show,
514
00:22:32,685 --> 00:22:35,279
in New York, and we were,
I'd been hearing her,
515
00:22:35,479 --> 00:22:37,732
like, her music and stuff,
from, you know, the radio,
516
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:40,568
it was a big number one hit.
And I was just sitting there,
517
00:22:40,776 --> 00:22:41,402
I was like, man,
518
00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:42,486
okay, cool, I wanna see
what she look like,
519
00:22:42,695 --> 00:22:42,945
I wanna meet her,
520
00:22:43,153 --> 00:22:44,871
I seen her videos,
I know she cute.
521
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:47,166
So, you know, I saw
her at the showing,
522
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:48,788
and she was like, hey, what's
up, how are you doing?
523
00:22:48,993 --> 00:22:50,961
She had an accent, I was like,
never heard that before,
524
00:22:51,161 --> 00:22:53,664
that kind of sound good,
you know what I'm saying,
525
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:56,092
so I said, you know what,
let me talk to her,
526
00:22:56,292 --> 00:22:58,044
and see what she talking about,
just to be cool with her,
527
00:22:58,252 --> 00:23:00,129
we exchanged information
and stuff like that,
528
00:23:00,337 --> 00:23:02,681
and through passing we would
be on the same shows.
529
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:04,850
She would always,
like, would perform,
530
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:07,599
and then would go
sit in the crowd.
531
00:23:07,803 --> 00:23:09,771
She watched my show, so
I was, like, nervous,
532
00:23:09,972 --> 00:23:11,098
I was like, did she like me,
533
00:23:11,307 --> 00:23:13,184
I didn't know if she'd like me
or not, but I was just like,
534
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:14,393
she really watching the shows,
535
00:23:14,602 --> 00:23:16,479
so she actually
must like my music.
536
00:23:16,687 --> 00:23:18,860
So, from then on we
just became friends,
537
00:23:19,064 --> 00:23:20,611
and friends kick it
more, we'll kick it,
538
00:23:20,816 --> 00:23:22,614
nothing too serious, but
we just had, you know,
539
00:23:22,818 --> 00:23:24,491
a good understanding
of each other.
540
00:23:24,695 --> 00:23:26,242
What's all these dating
rumors, Chris, yes, no?
541
00:23:26,447 --> 00:23:28,165
I would just keep it as just,
542
00:23:28,365 --> 00:23:30,868
we just doing our
thing, just having fun.
543
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:32,828
And just one day I
remember, it was like,
544
00:23:33,037 --> 00:23:34,914
right before our
VMA performance,
545
00:23:35,122 --> 00:23:37,841
me and her did the VMA
performance, my first ever one,
546
00:23:38,042 --> 00:23:39,259
and it was a couple
months before that,
547
00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:41,258
and I remember staying
over at her house,
548
00:23:41,462 --> 00:23:43,635
and I was just looking, like,
"Man, what are we doing?"
549
00:23:43,839 --> 00:23:44,965
She was just like,
"What you mean?"
550
00:23:45,174 --> 00:23:47,393
I was like, "I'm always
over here, like,
551
00:23:47,593 --> 00:23:49,140
we like each other, obviously.
552
00:23:49,345 --> 00:23:51,188
Let's just, let's
just do it," I said,
553
00:23:51,388 --> 00:23:52,605
"Let's be boyfriend
and girlfriend."
554
00:23:52,806 --> 00:23:53,932
She's talking like,
"You ain't serious.
555
00:23:54,141 --> 00:23:55,984
I don't think you
wanna do that."
556
00:23:56,185 --> 00:23:57,277
I was like, "Why?"
557
00:23:57,478 --> 00:23:59,025
She said, "No, no,
you ain't ready."
558
00:23:59,229 --> 00:24:02,028
And I was like, "No, I am, I
think I'm ready, for real."
559
00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:04,280
And so then I was like,
I remember, I was like,
560
00:24:04,485 --> 00:24:05,407
I think I love you.
She was like,
561
00:24:05,611 --> 00:24:06,612
she was looking at
me like, "What?"
562
00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:08,037
Like, did I say the word?
563
00:24:08,238 --> 00:24:09,535
You know, so.
564
00:24:09,740 --> 00:24:11,663
You know, at that time
when we did the VMAs,
565
00:24:11,867 --> 00:24:14,370
it was more like we kept
our relationship secret,
566
00:24:14,578 --> 00:24:16,296
so we had been together
for maybe like,
567
00:24:16,497 --> 00:24:17,794
I wanna say eight months prior.
568
00:24:17,998 --> 00:24:20,251
So, we just kept
it to ourselves.
569
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:21,802
We didn't want
everybody to know,
570
00:24:22,002 --> 00:24:23,845
we just wanted to, you
know, just to be like,
571
00:24:24,046 --> 00:24:25,798
if they guess it, they
guess it, but right now,
572
00:24:26,006 --> 00:24:26,802
we love each other, so,
573
00:24:27,007 --> 00:24:29,430
I really don't care
about everybody else.
574
00:24:29,635 --> 00:24:30,852
So, we did the show,
575
00:24:31,053 --> 00:24:33,977
and it was like that moment
when you got a chance
576
00:24:34,181 --> 00:24:37,731
to say, okay, yeah, they're
dating, they're talking.
577
00:24:37,935 --> 00:24:39,232
At that moment, she had, like,
578
00:24:39,436 --> 00:24:41,359
the biggest records out,
like, was going crazy,
579
00:24:41,563 --> 00:24:44,442
and me, I still was going
strong with all my records
580
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:46,823
and new stuff, and we got
a chance to do that show,
581
00:24:47,027 --> 00:24:49,155
it was kind of like both of us
being able to show the world
582
00:24:49,363 --> 00:24:49,659
like, heY:
583
00:24:49,863 --> 00:24:51,410
we both are dual
talented artists,
584
00:24:51,615 --> 00:24:54,835
and we both are gonna make
a mark in this world.
585
00:24:55,035 --> 00:24:58,665
It was like a fairytale.
586
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:00,715
To see Rihanna and Chris
587
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:02,463
when they first started dating,
588
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:04,716
it was magical, you
know, and those two,
589
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,014
they were kind of
inseparable, you know,
590
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:08,966
you would hear about them
being in the studio,
591
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:11,768
you would hear them coming
into the club together,
592
00:25:11,969 --> 00:25:14,813
and it was just, it
was just an energy.
593
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:18,188
At that time in our
career, being that young,
594
00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:21,362
being naive, gullible,
but also just happy,
595
00:25:21,562 --> 00:25:23,656
just wanting to be
everywhere, I mean,
596
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:25,483
there was no other
feeling like it.
597
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:27,819
But what hurt with my
Rih, it was just like,
598
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:30,951
our power that we had at
that age, it was just,
599
00:25:31,155 --> 00:25:33,408
it's dangerous, man, like
you couldn't go anywhere,
600
00:25:33,615 --> 00:25:34,992
like, we couldn't go to a hotel
601
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,670
and not have 100,000
fans outside waiting.
602
00:25:38,871 --> 00:25:40,498
You know what I'm saying,
we couldn't go to any
603
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:41,548
restaurant and just eat.
604
00:25:41,749 --> 00:25:44,753
Like real life rock stars
at 16 and 17 years old,
605
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,055
that's dangerous, because you
could do whatever you want.
606
00:25:48,255 --> 00:25:50,724
I just think we were
like the perfect,
607
00:25:50,924 --> 00:25:52,972
like, and bad combination, like,
608
00:25:53,177 --> 00:25:55,771
it was just good and bad
together, just, ah!
609
00:25:55,971 --> 00:25:58,440
I wanna say maybe a year and
a half into the relationship
610
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,862
with Rihanna I just, I really
was serious about it, like,
611
00:26:04,063 --> 00:26:06,065
you know, I was always goofy
about everything else
612
00:26:06,273 --> 00:26:09,152
being a young kid, but,
the maturity level I had,
613
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,158
and my beliefs of what I
wanted and my girlfriend,
614
00:26:12,362 --> 00:26:15,115
you know, I wanna marry
you, but I want,
615
00:26:15,324 --> 00:26:17,042
before we go any further,
616
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:19,210
I just want to be able to
be honest and be completely
617
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:21,459
real with you about everything
you've ever had a question
618
00:26:21,663 --> 00:26:23,290
about or a doubt about.
619
00:26:23,499 --> 00:26:25,672
She had asked me, like, when
we first started dating,
620
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:28,345
"Have you ever messed
with this person?"
621
00:26:28,545 --> 00:26:31,424
And this person, she
worked for me at the time,
622
00:26:31,632 --> 00:26:35,182
and I said, "Nah, nah, nah,
man, you know how it is,
623
00:26:35,385 --> 00:26:37,353
they just..." I brushed
it to the side.
624
00:26:37,554 --> 00:26:38,897
One, I didn't want her
knowing my business,
625
00:26:39,098 --> 00:26:40,691
two, I just didn't know
who she would tell
626
00:26:40,891 --> 00:26:42,985
if I tell her what I'm doing,
you know what I'm saying, so,
627
00:26:43,185 --> 00:26:45,859
around the eighth month or
maybe like a little bit
628
00:26:46,063 --> 00:26:49,033
after that VMA performance,
I just broke it to her,
629
00:26:49,233 --> 00:26:51,656
I said, "Hey, I wanna marry you,
but I wanna be real with you,
630
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:54,238
I wanna be honest with you
and tell you, you know,
631
00:26:54,446 --> 00:26:56,494
everything, this is what it is.
632
00:26:56,698 --> 00:26:57,915
Before we were together,
633
00:26:58,117 --> 00:27:01,462
me and this other
girl did have sex."
634
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:04,006
My trust totally
was lost with her,
635
00:27:04,206 --> 00:27:06,049
you know what I'm saying,
she hated me after that,
636
00:27:06,250 --> 00:27:08,844
I tried everything,
like, she didn't care.
637
00:27:09,044 --> 00:27:10,762
She just didn't trust
me after that.
638
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:13,557
From there, it just went
downhill, because, you know,
639
00:27:13,757 --> 00:27:15,600
there would be fights, there
would be verbal fights,
640
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:17,644
physical fights as
well, mutual sides,
641
00:27:17,845 --> 00:27:20,098
and this is the first time
I get to say anything,
642
00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:23,149
and, like I said, I still
love Rihanna, but it's,
643
00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:25,068
I'm just gonna be honest.
644
00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:26,441
We would fight each other,
645
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:28,488
she would hit me,
I would hit her.
646
00:27:28,689 --> 00:27:30,282
And it never was okay,
647
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:34,112
it was always a point to
where we'd talk about it,
648
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:36,321
like, "Yo, what the
fuck are we doing?
649
00:27:36,530 --> 00:27:38,157
Like, I don't like that, I
don't like you slapping me."
650
00:27:38,365 --> 00:27:40,288
If I go onstage, I got
a scratch on my face,
651
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:42,790
and I gotta explain it,
like, "oh no, I fell,"
652
00:27:42,995 --> 00:27:46,340
or, like, "Or you, if you
got a scar or a bruise,
653
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:49,919
you gotta put makeup on
it, I feel like shit."
654
00:27:50,127 --> 00:27:52,300
I'm not, like, I'm
not ever trying
655
00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:54,552
to put my hands on any female.
656
00:27:54,756 --> 00:27:58,056
Anger or whatever, you have to
walk away from the situation.
657
00:27:58,260 --> 00:28:00,854
Never, ever, put your
hands on anyone.
658
00:28:01,054 --> 00:28:03,056
Yeah, that was his girl, you
know what I'm saying, so,
659
00:28:03,265 --> 00:28:05,609
I feel like, you know,
what he went through,
660
00:28:05,809 --> 00:28:07,482
it was like a test,
661
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:10,439
and it wasn't so much
of the situation,
662
00:28:10,647 --> 00:28:15,118
I think it was just
a test in life.
663
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:17,447
I was just like Chris,
I was very successful
664
00:28:17,654 --> 00:28:18,200
at a young age,
665
00:28:18,405 --> 00:28:20,123
and when you're
really successful,
666
00:28:20,324 --> 00:28:24,830
I was taught that can't should
be a foreign language to you.
667
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:27,039
A no should be a foreign
language to you,
668
00:28:27,247 --> 00:28:28,920
you shouldn't be able to
understand the language
669
00:28:29,124 --> 00:28:30,922
of "No," or "You can't."
670
00:28:31,126 --> 00:28:35,097
Like, me, I felt like
a fucking monster.
671
00:28:35,297 --> 00:28:37,425
20 year old pop star
Rihanna is the woman
672
00:28:37,633 --> 00:28:40,762
involved in the alleged
domestic violence assault case.
673
00:28:40,969 --> 00:28:42,095
I lost my best friend,
674
00:28:42,304 --> 00:28:44,773
like, everything
I knew switched,
675
00:28:44,973 --> 00:28:47,101
and I couldn't control that.
676
00:28:47,309 --> 00:28:49,778
So, I had to deal with
that, and that's not,
677
00:28:49,978 --> 00:28:52,106
that's not easy for
me to understand.
678
00:28:52,314 --> 00:28:54,737
Several years ago when
I was about 17, 18,
679
00:28:54,942 --> 00:28:57,286
you know, the whole Rihanna
incident happened,
680
00:28:57,486 --> 00:29:02,242
and a lot of that,
that changed my life.
681
00:29:02,449 --> 00:29:04,201
That night at that
Clive Davis party,
682
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:07,834
and 1 made sure the person that
I was involved with before,
683
00:29:08,038 --> 00:29:10,962
I said, "Hey, you can't come
around to these places,"
684
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:13,635
and the person comes in.
685
00:29:13,835 --> 00:29:16,008
Comes right to the table,
say, hey, what's up y'all,
686
00:29:16,213 --> 00:29:19,012
and I already knew it's
an issue, so I say,
687
00:29:19,216 --> 00:29:22,060
"Hey, cool, and they keep
it moving and leave,"
688
00:29:22,261 --> 00:29:25,140
I look over to Rihanna,
and she's bawling,
689
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,020
she's just crying in the middle,
690
00:29:27,224 --> 00:29:28,897
the ceremony's about to start
and she's just crying,
691
00:29:29,101 --> 00:29:30,227
and I'm like, "Yo,
v0, v0, v0, v0, v0,
692
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:32,062
please, please babe,
don't do this,
693
00:29:32,271 --> 00:29:33,272
like, don't do this
in here, like,
694
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,857
I didn't know what
her problem is,
695
00:29:35,065 --> 00:29:36,408
I swear to God, I didn't know."
696
00:29:36,608 --> 00:29:38,781
So, she got over it, she
started drinking a little bit,
697
00:29:38,986 --> 00:29:40,829
we both were drinking
a little bit.
698
00:29:41,029 --> 00:29:42,201
We was tipsy, laughing,
699
00:29:42,406 --> 00:29:45,580
joking, you know,
and then we left.
700
00:29:45,784 --> 00:29:47,252
And while just a few hours ago,
701
00:29:47,452 --> 00:29:49,125
we saw Chris Brown drive off.
702
00:29:49,329 --> 00:29:51,252
According to sources, the
alleged fight broke out
703
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:56,257
inside a Lamborghini that was
located at Hancock Park.
704
00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:58,429
As you know, young
relationships,
705
00:29:58,630 --> 00:30:00,098
any relationships,
it's based on trust,
706
00:30:00,299 --> 00:30:01,300
but because I told her that,
707
00:30:01,508 --> 00:30:02,930
she didn't trust me
with any of that.
708
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:05,103
So, I would give her
the option that,
709
00:30:05,304 --> 00:30:06,647
"Oh, you can look at my phone."
710
00:30:06,847 --> 00:30:09,270
So I gave her the phone,
she looks at the phone,
711
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:11,147
and there's a
message, and it says,
712
00:30:11,351 --> 00:30:13,228
"Kill the Grammys,
do your thing,"
713
00:30:13,437 --> 00:30:16,862
and I didn't read the rest of
the message, I didn't open it.
714
00:30:17,065 --> 00:30:19,318
So she opened the message, and
the rest of the message said,
715
00:30:19,526 --> 00:30:21,494
"I'll see you at
the Clive party."
716
00:30:21,695 --> 00:30:24,414
So, all the time she
thought I was lying.
717
00:30:24,614 --> 00:30:26,161
She starts going off,
she throws the phone,
718
00:30:26,366 --> 00:30:27,743
"I hate you,
whatever, whatever,"
719
00:30:27,951 --> 00:30:30,124
starts hitting me, we're
in a little Lamborghini.
720
00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:31,922
You know, she's fighting
me, and I'm like, "Look,
721
00:30:32,122 --> 00:30:33,840
I'm telling you the
truth, I swear to God,
722
00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:35,797
you know, I'm telling you
the truth, stop it."
723
00:30:36,001 --> 00:30:37,719
So then she hits me a
couple more times,
724
00:30:37,919 --> 00:30:41,219
and I just, kind of just, it
doesn't go from translation to,
725
00:30:41,423 --> 00:30:43,096
"Let's sit down, I'm
telling you the truth,"
726
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:46,895
it goes to now I'm fixing
to be mean, and be evil,
727
00:30:47,095 --> 00:30:48,893
arguing and arguing and arguing.
728
00:30:49,097 --> 00:30:51,316
So then, like, I remember
she tried to kick me,
729
00:30:51,516 --> 00:30:53,518
'cause like, just her
just being upset,
730
00:30:53,727 --> 00:30:55,445
but then, I really hit her.
731
00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:58,615
Like, with a closed fist,
like, I punched her.
732
00:30:58,815 --> 00:31:01,614
You know, and it busted her
lip, and when I saw it,
733
00:31:01,818 --> 00:31:03,035
I was in shock, I
was like, "Fuck,
734
00:31:03,236 --> 00:31:04,829
why the hell did I hit her?"
735
00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:07,283
So, from there, she just
spit in my face, like,
736
00:31:07,491 --> 00:31:09,744
spit the blood on my face,
and I'm like, "Yo,"
737
00:31:09,951 --> 00:31:11,419
so it enraged me
even more, like,
738
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:14,499
it's a real on fight in a car,
we driving in the street.
739
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:17,960
So I'm like, "Yo, hey, we
tripping, what the fuck,
740
00:31:18,168 --> 00:31:19,169
like, what are we doing?"
741
00:31:19,378 --> 00:31:20,470
She's trying to
grab for my phone,
742
00:31:20,670 --> 00:31:22,047
and I'm not giving her my phone
743
00:31:22,255 --> 00:31:24,349
to throw it out of the window.
744
00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:27,803
So, she grabs my nuts,
and when she do that,
745
00:31:28,011 --> 00:31:32,061
I actually, I bite her arm,
I think, as I'm driving,
746
00:31:32,265 --> 00:31:33,892
'cause I'm still
trying to drive.
747
00:31:34,101 --> 00:31:37,401
It's just like a petty,
stupid fight going on,
748
00:31:37,604 --> 00:31:38,947
like, and I'm just realizing it,
749
00:31:39,147 --> 00:31:40,865
I'm like, "What the
hell am I doing, bro?
750
00:31:41,066 --> 00:31:43,785
Like, are you honestly doing
this in a car right now?
751
00:31:43,985 --> 00:31:45,453
Like, what are we doing?"
752
00:31:45,654 --> 00:31:46,906
So I pull over in Hancock Park,
753
00:31:47,114 --> 00:31:49,287
maybe less than two, three
miles from her house,
754
00:31:49,491 --> 00:31:51,164
and I'm just trying to
resolve the situation,
755
00:31:51,368 --> 00:31:52,620
I'm not trying to
fight any further,
756
00:31:52,828 --> 00:31:54,080
I don't wanna, like, I love her,
757
00:31:54,287 --> 00:31:56,210
I don't wanna hurt
my girlfriend.
758
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:59,589
And so, I pull over, and
I said, "Look, like,
759
00:31:59,793 --> 00:32:02,592
I'm telling you the truth,"
like, I'm crying, she's crying.
760
00:32:02,796 --> 00:32:04,264
I'm like, "I'm telling you
the truth, I swear to God,
761
00:32:04,464 --> 00:32:07,764
I didn't do it, I didn't
know she was fucking coming,
762
00:32:07,968 --> 00:32:09,766
I didn't know, I promise."
763
00:32:09,970 --> 00:32:11,472
She just didn't believe
me, like, she,
764
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,433
I just know you lying
to me, lying to me.
765
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:16,860
So she takes the keys out
of the car, I'm in park,
766
00:32:17,060 --> 00:32:18,403
she takes the keys out
of the car and fakes
767
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:20,822
like she throws them
out the window.
768
00:32:21,022 --> 00:32:23,821
I'm like, "What are you doing?"
And I get out the car.
769
00:32:24,025 --> 00:32:25,618
When I got out the car,
I'm looking for the keys,
770
00:32:25,819 --> 00:32:26,365
in somebody's yard,
771
00:32:26,570 --> 00:32:29,039
and she yells out, out her door,
772
00:32:29,239 --> 00:32:30,866
"Help, he's trying to kill me."
773
00:32:31,074 --> 00:32:32,792
I said "Stop, like, we're
gonna get in trouble."
774
00:32:32,993 --> 00:32:36,623
So, I'm looking for the keys,
she's sitting on the keys.
775
00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:39,253
So I'm like, "You know what, I
can't play this game with you."
776
00:32:39,458 --> 00:32:42,678
I'm getting my bags out of
the car, she takes my CDs,
777
00:32:42,878 --> 00:32:44,551
this is back when I
would record on CDs,
778
00:32:44,754 --> 00:32:47,098
you couldn't put on your phone
when you're in the studio.
779
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:49,768
So I had new music, and she
was just scratching it up,
780
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:51,891
I just seen her scratching
it up with the keys.
781
00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:53,813
So, I saw her, I just
snatched the bag,
782
00:32:54,014 --> 00:32:55,391
and I was like, "You know what,
783
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:58,193
you got the keys, you
can drive home."
784
00:32:58,393 --> 00:32:59,485
By this time her lip was busted,
785
00:32:59,686 --> 00:33:01,108
she had a knot 'cause
I pushed her head
786
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:02,815
up against the window.
787
00:33:03,023 --> 00:33:03,945
And, and...
788
00:33:05,317 --> 00:33:07,411
you know, a lot of
the times, like,
789
00:33:07,611 --> 00:33:10,865
I look back at the picture,
and I'm just like,
790
00:33:11,072 --> 00:33:12,039
"Yo, bro, like,
791
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,665
that's not me, bro, that's
not, that's not me," like...
792
00:33:15,869 --> 00:33:17,746
I just, I hate it to this day,
793
00:33:17,954 --> 00:33:21,128
you know what I'm saying,
that's gonna haunt me forever.
794
00:33:21,333 --> 00:33:23,131
Rihanna} I was hurt the most.
795
00:33:23,335 --> 00:33:27,966
Nobody felt what I felt, it
happened, it happened to me.
796
00:33:28,173 --> 00:33:31,723
And it happened to me
in front of the world,
797
00:33:31,927 --> 00:33:35,306
it was embarrassing, it was
humiliating, it was hurtful,
798
00:33:35,514 --> 00:33:37,858
you know, it's not easy.
799
00:33:38,058 --> 00:33:40,277
Chris Brown is accused
of assault and battery.
800
00:33:40,477 --> 00:33:42,104
Larry King] You're a great
dancer, a great singer,
801
00:33:42,312 --> 00:33:43,689
you're popular and known
all over the world,
802
00:33:43,897 --> 00:33:45,524
do you ever say to yourself,
803
00:33:45,732 --> 00:33:48,326
"I screwed up"?
804
00:33:48,527 --> 00:33:50,700
Can remember the night when
he called me and was in L.A.,
805
00:33:50,904 --> 00:33:52,406
the incident had happened,
806
00:33:52,614 --> 00:33:54,742
and he said, Mom, please come,
807
00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:56,873
I just did something really bad.
808
00:33:57,077 --> 00:33:58,545
Like, oh my God, what is it?
809
00:33:58,745 --> 00:33:59,871
And this was the Grammys,
810
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,378
the Clive Davis party
we had just left,
811
00:34:02,582 --> 00:34:05,506
with him and Rihanna at
the table, and I'm like,
812
00:34:05,710 --> 00:34:07,712
my heart just dropped,
but I had no idea
813
00:34:07,921 --> 00:34:09,343
what he was going to tell me,
814
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:12,097
and I get to the hotel, and
he's laying in the bed
815
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:13,142
crying and crying,
816
00:34:13,343 --> 00:34:16,893
and he was hiding, of course,
crying, like, "Mom, Mom,"
817
00:34:17,097 --> 00:34:18,724
I was like, "What did you
do?" and then he told me,
818
00:34:18,932 --> 00:34:21,811
I was like... that was the
worst day of my life,
819
00:34:22,018 --> 00:34:24,362
and probably of his
life, because he,
820
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:27,112
I just saw that he was
just a broken person.
821
00:34:27,315 --> 00:34:29,113
There are these moments, right,
822
00:34:29,317 --> 00:34:32,412
in every artist's
career that they say,
823
00:34:32,612 --> 00:34:35,331
"What the fuck was I thinking?"
824
00:34:35,532 --> 00:34:37,159
He was laying in
bed, he was crying,
825
00:34:37,367 --> 00:34:39,244
and he was devastated
about what happened,
826
00:34:39,452 --> 00:34:43,548
but his main concern was how
was she and was she okay.
827
00:34:43,790 --> 00:34:47,215
Of course, legal went
down and he was arrested,
828
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:50,639
or, well, he turned himself in.
So he was just devastated,
829
00:34:50,839 --> 00:34:53,809
and just seeing him in that
state was the worst ever,
830
00:34:54,009 --> 00:34:56,762
and I felt like I was
gonna lose my child.
831
00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:58,347
I hated myself, you know,
832
00:34:58,555 --> 00:35:01,149
I was thinking about suicide
and everything else.
833
00:35:01,349 --> 00:35:02,692
So, it was just like, fuck.
834
00:35:02,892 --> 00:35:05,111
But, from there, I
said, "You know what,
835
00:35:05,312 --> 00:35:07,189
I'm just gonna take
everything that could come,
836
00:35:07,397 --> 00:35:10,992
my consequences for my actions
have to be dealt with."
837
00:35:11,192 --> 00:35:13,661
I turned myself in the next day.
838
00:35:13,862 --> 00:35:15,910
When I first met him, he was 18.
839
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:17,661
The male's brain
doesn't fully form
840
00:35:17,866 --> 00:35:20,369
in impulse control
until you're 25.
841
00:35:20,577 --> 00:35:23,080
About six years ago
last month I got a call
842
00:35:23,288 --> 00:35:25,916
from a buddy in New
York who said,
843
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,547
was the morning of the
Grammys, it was a Sunday,
844
00:35:28,752 --> 00:35:32,723
it was about 6:30, and my
buddy says there's this guy,
845
00:35:32,922 --> 00:35:34,970
there's an arrest
warrant for him,
846
00:35:35,175 --> 00:35:37,303
L.A. P.D.'s looking for him,
his name is Chris Brown,
847
00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:40,184
and the complaining
witness's name is Rihanna.
848
00:35:40,388 --> 00:35:43,892
He called me, I think it
was maybe an hour or two
849
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:45,317
after it happened,
850
00:35:45,518 --> 00:35:48,442
and he was, he was scared,
851
00:35:48,647 --> 00:35:50,615
um, like in disbelief,
852
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:52,567
like he couldn't even believe
this was even going on.
853
00:35:52,776 --> 00:35:54,278
I couldn't believe that.
854
00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:56,079
But he was, you know,
he was scared.
855
00:35:56,279 --> 00:35:57,701
I have been through
a lot in my life,
856
00:35:57,906 --> 00:35:59,533
but that was the most
devastating thing
857
00:35:59,741 --> 00:36:00,913
I've ever had to experience,
858
00:36:01,117 --> 00:36:03,290
to see the hurt and
the pain on his face,
859
00:36:03,495 --> 00:36:05,964
and not knowing what was
gonna happen to him.
860
00:36:06,164 --> 00:36:07,837
I look at it in this,
861
00:36:08,041 --> 00:36:10,135
in this really, like,
862
00:36:10,335 --> 00:36:12,178
how could I be that person?
863
00:36:12,379 --> 00:36:14,677
Well, the case, originally, was,
864
00:36:14,881 --> 00:36:17,555
an assault with a deadly
weapon, criminal threats,
865
00:36:17,759 --> 00:36:21,309
various charges like that
involving strike offenses
866
00:36:21,513 --> 00:36:23,265
for the serious felonies.
867
00:36:23,473 --> 00:36:27,103
He wanted to, immediately,
take responsibility,
868
00:36:27,310 --> 00:36:28,857
wanted to plead guilty.
869
00:36:29,062 --> 00:36:31,611
Pled guilty, didn't,
didn't argue,
870
00:36:31,815 --> 00:36:35,160
didn't say, "Hey, let me
fight this case and take it
871
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,489
to trial," and just say
"Hey, she fought me back,"
872
00:36:38,697 --> 00:36:41,120
no, I'm not, that's not
where my head was at,
873
00:36:41,324 --> 00:36:43,042
and that's not where it is now,
874
00:36:43,243 --> 00:36:45,120
you know, I loved her,
875
00:36:45,328 --> 00:36:49,253
I wanted to protect her because
I did too much stuff to her.
876
00:36:49,457 --> 00:36:51,630
Like, I did what I
did, so, it was wrong.
877
00:36:51,835 --> 00:36:54,304
Explain quickly, Mark,
what he pled guilty to.
878
00:36:54,504 --> 00:36:56,427
Assault, basically,
is what it is,
879
00:36:56,631 --> 00:36:58,349
a felony assault charge.
880
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:02,680
The hardest person to see,
881
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:07,188
or talk about it to would be...
882
00:37:07,392 --> 00:37:10,066
I would say probably my father,
you know what I'm saying,
883
00:37:10,270 --> 00:37:12,318
my father and my,
my real father.
884
00:37:12,522 --> 00:37:14,650
I don't want to
disappoint my father,
885
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:17,987
because he actually
was there for me.
886
00:37:18,194 --> 00:37:21,368
For my mom, it was a little
bit more closer to heart,
887
00:37:21,573 --> 00:37:24,201
because I seen my
mom deal with that,
888
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:26,787
you know, firsthand,
not from my father,
889
00:37:26,995 --> 00:37:31,751
my biological father Clinton
Maurice Brown is a great man.
890
00:37:31,958 --> 00:37:34,928
But her significant
other at the time,
891
00:37:35,128 --> 00:37:38,678
my mother's significant
other, he was a monster,
892
00:37:38,882 --> 00:37:41,101
animal, pure hatred, evil,
893
00:37:41,301 --> 00:37:43,804
I've never hated somebody
in my life like,
894
00:37:44,012 --> 00:37:46,982
if I could kill him, I would.
895
00:37:47,182 --> 00:37:51,779
So, I promised my mom one day,
I said, "Look, Ma, you know,
896
00:37:51,978 --> 00:37:55,198
I know you tell me not
to do like crazy shit
897
00:37:55,398 --> 00:37:58,777
and hang with these niggas
and do what I do," I said,
898
00:37:58,985 --> 00:38:01,784
"but when I get 15,
I'm gonna kill him.
899
00:38:01,988 --> 00:38:05,663
Like, I'm not playing, I'm
not not joking, I'm serious.
900
00:38:05,867 --> 00:38:07,244
I wanna take his life."
901
00:38:07,452 --> 00:38:10,126
So, that's the kind of hatred
this guy brings from me,
902
00:38:10,330 --> 00:38:12,708
and fear, and stuff like that.
903
00:38:12,916 --> 00:38:14,338
So, I'm terrified of this man.
904
00:38:14,542 --> 00:38:16,920
I would be at home, you know,
905
00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:19,972
he blew his brains out when I
was six, but he didn't die,
906
00:38:20,173 --> 00:38:21,345
he shot himself in the head,
907
00:38:21,549 --> 00:38:23,392
and then he went blind and shit.
908
00:38:23,593 --> 00:38:25,061
I was six years old, bro, like,
909
00:38:25,261 --> 00:38:27,980
fuck, how does a kid
deal with that shit?
910
00:38:28,181 --> 00:38:31,310
And then, being that he's
physically impaired now,
911
00:38:31,518 --> 00:38:34,067
it frustrates him more,
so he's in a depression,
912
00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:36,944
so, but he takes it
out on his girl.
913
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:39,401
His girl happens to be my mom.
914
00:38:39,609 --> 00:38:41,111
This is what I had
to deal with, like,
915
00:38:41,319 --> 00:38:43,538
I had to hear my mom get
beat up every night.
916
00:38:43,738 --> 00:38:46,116
I had to pee on myself,
like, I'm scared,
917
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:47,621
scared to even get up and
walk in the hallway,
918
00:38:47,826 --> 00:38:48,827
'cause I didn't
wanna see nothing.
919
00:38:49,035 --> 00:38:50,082
You know what I'm saying,
920
00:38:50,286 --> 00:38:51,037
so nobody knows the fear
921
00:38:51,246 --> 00:38:52,293
that they had to deal with,
922
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:55,341
and then it
transcends sometimes,
923
00:38:55,542 --> 00:38:57,636
it's learned behavior.
924
00:38:57,836 --> 00:39:02,387
So, me having to see my mom
look at me through that light,
925
00:39:04,467 --> 00:39:07,767
I just saw him, that's
what I saw, I saw him,
926
00:39:07,971 --> 00:39:11,100
I didn't see Chris, I
seen that motherfucker.
927
00:39:11,307 --> 00:39:13,901
And so, that's what
ate at me, and like,
928
00:39:14,102 --> 00:39:15,399
that's what killed my soul,
929
00:39:15,603 --> 00:39:19,949
because I was the one
thing I was running from.
930
00:39:20,149 --> 00:39:22,277
Sometimes you try to run
away from the one thing
931
00:39:22,485 --> 00:39:26,956
that you don't wanna
become, and you become it.
932
00:39:27,156 --> 00:39:29,705
The only person I hate
right now is him.
933
00:39:29,909 --> 00:39:31,582
The only thing Chris
Brown is guilty of,
934
00:39:31,786 --> 00:39:35,461
- a felony.
935
00:39:35,665 --> 00:39:37,963
We don't know everything
that went down,
936
00:39:38,167 --> 00:39:39,919
this is a tough one.
You know, he is
937
00:39:40,128 --> 00:39:40,924
in huge trouble.
938
00:39:41,129 --> 00:39:42,506
We're not gonna put up with
939
00:39:42,714 --> 00:39:44,933
domestic violence as
business as usual,
940
00:39:45,133 --> 00:39:46,476
and I think we should
just take this
941
00:39:46,676 --> 00:39:47,552
and keep moving with it.
942
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,728
We're not saying I
think he should be
943
00:39:49,929 --> 00:39:52,352
thrown in jail, we're saying
he should get treatment.
944
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:54,559
It was a weird, confusing
space to be in,
945
00:39:54,767 --> 00:39:59,147
'cause as angry as I was,
angry and hurt and betrayed,
946
00:39:59,355 --> 00:40:02,279
I just felt like...
947
00:40:02,483 --> 00:40:06,363
he made that mistake
because he needed help.
948
00:40:08,156 --> 00:40:11,035
The label, the
name woman-beater,
949
00:40:11,242 --> 00:40:13,791
is something I would
say to somebody.
950
00:40:13,995 --> 00:40:16,123
You know what I'm saying,
it scares me because that,
951
00:40:16,331 --> 00:40:18,925
I would place that
judgment on somebody.
952
00:40:19,125 --> 00:40:20,593
So, when people say it,
953
00:40:20,793 --> 00:40:24,138
I don't get mad at them,
I'm more mad at myself,
954
00:40:24,339 --> 00:40:26,637
because I feel like
I am the reflection
955
00:40:26,841 --> 00:40:28,343
of what they're saying.
956
00:40:28,551 --> 00:40:30,849
To have that type of
success that music brings,
957
00:40:31,054 --> 00:40:33,682
people really look at
you and look to you
958
00:40:33,890 --> 00:40:36,734
for inspiration, for
hope, for light,
959
00:40:36,935 --> 00:40:39,313
for all of these things,
and that pressure can
960
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:40,942
sometimes be so tremendous.
961
00:40:41,147 --> 00:40:43,320
You are a rock star, you
live in a world where
962
00:40:43,524 --> 00:40:44,901
they want every piece of you,
963
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:46,952
because they need
to sell a story.
964
00:40:47,153 --> 00:40:48,496
He has said that he
feels really bad
965
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:50,039
about what transpired,
that he's gonna
966
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,082
meet with his pastor,
and hope to become
967
00:40:52,283 --> 00:40:53,785
a better person, there
are reports he's gone
968
00:40:53,993 --> 00:40:55,495
to anger management classes.
969
00:40:55,703 --> 00:40:57,205
Beside that incident, you know,
970
00:40:57,413 --> 00:40:58,881
it's like a domino effect,
971
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,713
it brings other
things that happened,
972
00:41:00,917 --> 00:41:02,169
it brings up rage and anger,
973
00:41:02,377 --> 00:41:03,970
and we don't understand
why we angry,
974
00:41:04,170 --> 00:41:05,797
because we're angry
because we think people
975
00:41:06,005 --> 00:41:08,178
think about us in a certain way.
976
00:41:08,383 --> 00:41:09,726
I'm gonna tell you
something, let me be honest.
977
00:41:09,926 --> 00:41:11,894
I was disappointed,
almost felt let down,
978
00:41:12,095 --> 00:41:16,191
because I said, this kid could
be the great superstar.
979
00:41:16,391 --> 00:41:17,859
You say how could I be
the best in the world
980
00:41:18,059 --> 00:41:19,060
and people still talk about me?
981
00:41:19,268 --> 00:41:20,485
And that's just
what life is about,
982
00:41:20,687 --> 00:41:23,907
overcoming emotional
quagmires, adversity,
983
00:41:24,107 --> 00:41:26,075
becoming stronger
in life, you know.
984
00:41:26,275 --> 00:41:29,245
If you didn't
experience any kind of
985
00:41:29,445 --> 00:41:32,289
emotional conflict with
yourself or with anyone else,
986
00:41:32,490 --> 00:41:37,667
under the light of this
struggle, you just crumble.
987
00:41:37,870 --> 00:41:41,465
Sentenced to five years
of probation as you said,
988
00:41:41,666 --> 00:41:45,216
180 days of what Judge Schnegg
calls community labor,
989
00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:49,470
and he has to undergo a
domestic violence program
990
00:41:49,674 --> 00:41:51,142
for one year.
991
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:52,685
Chris} The first time I
walked in the courtroom,
992
00:41:52,885 --> 00:41:54,558
I was super nervous, you know.
993
00:41:54,762 --> 00:41:57,982
I never even did jury
duty, so I was like,
994
00:41:58,182 --> 00:42:00,401
"Man, I don't know what's
gonna happen here,
995
00:42:00,601 --> 00:42:02,069
I'm not used to
this environment."
996
00:42:02,270 --> 00:42:04,147
This is a guy who's gotten
kind of everything he wanted
997
00:42:04,355 --> 00:42:06,574
since he was 16 years old.
998
00:42:06,774 --> 00:42:10,779
But once you step into a
courtroom, you lose all control.
999
00:42:10,987 --> 00:42:12,955
They wanted me to do jail time,
1000
00:42:13,156 --> 00:42:14,999
there was a lot of
women's rights groups
1001
00:42:15,199 --> 00:42:19,705
that were calling in and
demanding that I had jail time.
1002
00:42:19,912 --> 00:42:21,664
You know, I was terrified, man,
1003
00:42:21,873 --> 00:42:24,467
I was only 17, I think,
about to turn 18,
1004
00:42:24,667 --> 00:42:26,385
and I was like, man, like,
1005
00:42:26,586 --> 00:42:28,930
I'm about to go to jail, and
just have my life turned out,
1006
00:42:29,130 --> 00:42:31,303
I got out of my
situation in Virginia,
1007
00:42:31,507 --> 00:42:34,977
and made something of my life,
and I'm going right back?
1008
00:42:35,178 --> 00:42:36,054
- Like, that's how I felt.
1009
00:42:36,262 --> 00:42:37,605
- This is where the
process begins.
1010
00:42:37,805 --> 00:42:39,523
And there has been
speculation already by some
1011
00:42:39,724 --> 00:42:43,228
that this really will end
Chris Brown's career.
1012
00:42:43,436 --> 00:42:45,029
His drive, his enthusiasm,
1013
00:42:45,229 --> 00:42:48,403
his excitement about
everything was gone.
1014
00:42:48,608 --> 00:42:53,284
It's hard to go from that
admiration from the world,
1015
00:42:53,488 --> 00:42:55,866
to all of a sudden that
judgment from the world,
1016
00:42:56,074 --> 00:42:57,576
and being able to balance that,
1017
00:42:57,784 --> 00:42:59,957
and understand how to
maneuver through that,
1018
00:43:00,161 --> 00:43:01,208
that shit is not easy.
1019
00:43:01,412 --> 00:43:02,459
Being on probation
1020
00:43:02,663 --> 00:43:03,710
is like the hardest thing ever.
1021
00:43:03,915 --> 00:43:05,508
I know that was a tough time.
1022
00:43:05,708 --> 00:43:08,131
Any little thing can
be a violation.
1023
00:43:08,336 --> 00:43:10,304
I did go into a deep
depression, like I said,
1024
00:43:10,505 --> 00:43:12,052
for almost, like, three months.
1025
00:43:12,256 --> 00:43:14,054
Stayed in my room,
didn't come out,
1026
00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:15,680
they would bring my
food to the door,
1027
00:43:15,885 --> 00:43:17,262
my homies would be like,
"Come on man, what's up?"
1028
00:43:17,470 --> 00:43:19,564
And I'd just sleep in
bed, stay in bed all day.
1029
00:43:19,764 --> 00:43:21,687
Some of the greatest
artists in the world fell,
1030
00:43:21,891 --> 00:43:23,108
you know, from that,
1031
00:43:23,309 --> 00:43:25,437
and they fall to
substances and things
1032
00:43:25,645 --> 00:43:27,693
that just really cloud
their judgment,
1033
00:43:27,897 --> 00:43:30,446
cloud their ability to kind
of see their way through it.
1034
00:43:30,650 --> 00:43:32,368
Chris} I wasn't
sleeping, I barely ate,
1035
00:43:32,568 --> 00:43:35,162
I just was getting high, I
would pop a couple Xanaxes,
1036
00:43:35,363 --> 00:43:37,957
drink some lean, then
just be like, "I'm good,"
1037
00:43:38,157 --> 00:43:39,784
and be a zombie for
the rest of the day.
1038
00:43:39,992 --> 00:43:42,120
I remember being on video
sets and falling asleep,
1039
00:43:42,328 --> 00:43:44,456
cussing people out, not
knowing where I'm at, like,
1040
00:43:44,664 --> 00:43:45,961
and then I'd wake up
the next day, like,
1041
00:43:46,165 --> 00:43:47,257
"Hey, we gotta shoot the video."
1042
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:49,005
They'd be like, "Dude,
we shot it yesterday. "
1043
00:43:49,210 --> 00:43:52,635
I'm like, "dang." So, that's
when I knew it went bad.
1044
00:43:52,839 --> 00:43:53,635
And I said, "Hey,
man,I'm not telling you
1045
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:54,682
nothing that ain't
nobody told me,
1046
00:43:54,882 --> 00:43:55,974
I'm not telling you nothing
that Quincey Jones
1047
00:43:56,175 --> 00:43:57,301
didn't tell me or Oprah
Winfrey didn't tell me,
1048
00:43:57,510 --> 00:43:58,636
I'm just telling you
gotta fly away,
1049
00:43:58,845 --> 00:43:59,971
like, you know, do
your thing, have fun,
1050
00:44:00,179 --> 00:44:02,648
but just always remember
that if the people
1051
00:44:02,849 --> 00:44:04,692
that are around you don't
have a risk like you do,
1052
00:44:04,892 --> 00:44:07,395
it's probably not,
it's probably,
1053
00:44:07,603 --> 00:44:08,980
probably not cool."
1054
00:44:09,188 --> 00:44:10,986
The more light we get,
1055
00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:13,784
the more we have to
hide our demons.
1056
00:44:13,985 --> 00:44:17,831
That's pretty much a deterrent
to see who we truly are,
1057
00:44:18,030 --> 00:44:21,284
the light, the light
is the demon,
1058
00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:24,245
it's blinding you
from seeing him.
1059
00:44:24,453 --> 00:44:25,830
The elephant in the room
is the fact that there's
1060
00:44:26,038 --> 00:44:28,211
been some very tumultuous
things that Chris
1061
00:44:28,416 --> 00:44:30,293
has experienced in
his career, right?
1062
00:44:30,501 --> 00:44:32,424
Well, I'll talk about it.
Everybody has shit
1063
00:44:32,420 --> 00:44:33,262
that they go through,
1064
00:44:33,546 --> 00:44:36,299
but not everybody has to deal
with it in front of the world.
1065
00:44:45,975 --> 00:44:48,273
A loss in fans, or
a loss in revenue.
1066
00:44:48,477 --> 00:44:49,603
Chris Brown doesn't see either,
1067
00:44:49,812 --> 00:44:53,032
so likely he'll
continue on this path.
1068
00:44:53,232 --> 00:44:56,452
One day I just started
thinking about it.
1069
00:44:56,652 --> 00:44:59,121
Well, if they all hate me,
1070
00:44:59,322 --> 00:45:02,701
I want them to hate me
'cause they can't beat me.
1071
00:45:06,287 --> 00:45:08,836
A" All that bullshit...
1072
00:45:08,998 --> 00:45:10,591
That next week I went
into the studio,
1073
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:14,341
and I said, "I don't care even
if I don't know how to write,
1074
00:45:14,545 --> 00:45:15,592
if they don't like my song,
1075
00:45:15,796 --> 00:45:17,423
I'm just gonna say
whatever I feel."
1076
00:45:17,632 --> 00:45:19,726
Let me just talk about
what I'm rocking with.
1077
00:45:19,926 --> 00:45:22,475
Then you got songs like
"Deuces" that will come out.
1078
00:45:22,678 --> 00:45:24,180
I Girl, yeah
1079
00:45:24,388 --> 00:45:25,685
I That knows just what I need
1080
00:45:25,890 --> 00:45:27,984
I She knows just what I mean
1081
00:45:28,184 --> 00:45:30,061
No bullshit.
1082
00:45:34,774 --> 00:45:36,117
And even throughout
that process,
1083
00:45:36,317 --> 00:45:37,569
I tried to get Rihanna back.
1084
00:45:37,777 --> 00:45:39,495
I would try to call,
and try to, like,
1085
00:45:39,695 --> 00:45:41,322
"Hey, what's up,
man," just like...
1086
00:45:41,530 --> 00:45:43,077
One time she's like,
"Hey, I got a boyfriend,
1087
00:45:43,282 --> 00:45:44,124
stop talking to me."
1088
00:45:44,325 --> 00:45:46,202
I was like, "Woah."
1089
00:45:46,410 --> 00:45:49,960
So I said, you know what,
"Cool, let me just be me then."
1090
00:45:50,164 --> 00:45:51,381
I'm putting all my records out,
1091
00:45:51,582 --> 00:45:53,880
the pain records, the ones that,
1092
00:45:54,085 --> 00:45:56,759
when I'm at my lowest
point, and it's like,
1093
00:45:56,963 --> 00:45:58,340
back against the wall,
1094
00:45:58,547 --> 00:46:01,141
nobody thinks I'm gonna come
out the underdog status.
1095
00:46:01,467 --> 00:46:05,688
And, you know, I got a
Grammy off of those records.
1096
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,025
I don't know, man, I'm nervous,
I don't know what to say.
1097
00:46:09,225 --> 00:46:10,898
Team Breezy, man, it's
all for you, man,
1098
00:46:11,102 --> 00:46:13,275
all my fans back home,
I love y'all, so.
1099
00:46:14,522 --> 00:46:17,446
We got one. Thank you.
1100
00:46:17,650 --> 00:46:20,073
About that time, I was able
to meet somebody else.
1101
00:46:20,278 --> 00:46:21,905
Her name's Karrueche, I met her,
1102
00:46:22,113 --> 00:46:24,491
you know, and she kind of
got me through the times.
1103
00:46:24,699 --> 00:46:26,076
I was like, "You
know what, cool,"
1104
00:46:26,284 --> 00:46:29,458
I'm really cool with not
turning up as much.
1105
00:46:29,662 --> 00:46:32,336
I still, I mean, I
still did, you know,
1106
00:46:32,540 --> 00:46:34,588
I would only do that only
because I didn't know
1107
00:46:34,792 --> 00:46:37,261
how to cope with dealing
with being in love with her
1108
00:46:37,461 --> 00:46:39,589
and Rihanna at the same time.
1109
00:46:39,797 --> 00:46:41,299
What would the Chris Brown
sitting next to me right now
1110
00:46:41,507 --> 00:46:45,262
tell the Chris Brown
one year ago?
1111
00:46:48,514 --> 00:46:49,982
Um...
1112
00:46:53,311 --> 00:46:55,985
Make some wise
decisions, brother.
1113
00:46:55,980 --> 00:46:58,608
I would definitely look
at myself a year ago
1114
00:46:58,816 --> 00:47:01,740
and be like, "Man, like,
really, really, like,
1115
00:47:01,944 --> 00:47:04,993
don't take this for granted.
Don't take anything for granted,
1116
00:47:05,197 --> 00:47:06,995
and don't think you
untouchable, you're invincible,
1117
00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:09,827
because you're not."
1118
00:47:10,036 --> 00:47:12,630
He has to make that decision
to choose who he is,
1119
00:47:12,830 --> 00:47:15,083
we have to look in the
mirror sometimes of life,
1120
00:47:15,291 --> 00:47:18,135
and decide, do we like
who we looking at?
1121
00:47:18,336 --> 00:47:21,465
And I sometimes don't like
who I'm still looking at,
1122
00:47:21,672 --> 00:47:25,597
but I like him more than
I used to like him.
1123
00:47:25,801 --> 00:47:28,771
At that time, I just was trying
to mask my real feelings.
1124
00:47:29,096 --> 00:47:33,818
My life was just slowly going
downhill because of my fear,
1125
00:47:33,809 --> 00:47:35,732
you know what I'm saying,
and my insecurities,
1126
00:47:35,936 --> 00:47:38,689
and me not being, me
not really manning up.
1127
00:47:38,898 --> 00:47:43,153
So it's 2010, we've decided
that we're going to have
1128
00:47:43,361 --> 00:47:45,955
Chris Brown do...
1129
00:47:46,155 --> 00:47:50,205
the year after, the year
anniversary, Jackson tribute.
1130
00:47:50,409 --> 00:47:53,879
But there's one
tribute, one tribute
1131
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,458
performance we've yet to see.
1132
00:47:56,665 --> 00:47:58,713
And the crowd knew
exactly who it was,
1133
00:47:58,918 --> 00:48:01,546
and there was this
murmur that built,
1134
00:48:01,754 --> 00:48:05,554
and the lights drop out, and,
1135
00:48:05,758 --> 00:48:07,931
Chris hit the stage.
1136
00:48:23,317 --> 00:48:26,821
It was so surreal, man.
I was hosting BET,
1137
00:48:27,029 --> 00:48:29,532
that for everyone was
just a moment in time
1138
00:48:29,740 --> 00:48:31,834
where it was just, Chris
was going through a thing.
1139
00:48:32,034 --> 00:48:35,538
And so, therefore,
it really hurt him.
1140
00:48:51,220 --> 00:48:52,722
It was lot of things happening,
1141
00:48:52,930 --> 00:48:55,228
first of all, we were giving
Michael Jackson a real,
1142
00:48:55,433 --> 00:48:58,152
great sendoff, a passing
of the torch, if you will.
1143
00:48:58,352 --> 00:49:00,605
And then he poured his
heart into it, man.
1144
00:49:00,813 --> 00:49:04,784
a' I'm starting with
the man in the mirror
1145
00:49:13,826 --> 00:49:16,045
a' If you wanna make the
world a better place
1146
00:49:16,245 --> 00:49:18,748
a' Take a look at yourself
and then make that
1147
00:49:30,843 --> 00:49:34,143
Chris Brown was there
to prove something
1148
00:49:34,346 --> 00:49:37,020
that night, that he
belonged on this planet,
1149
00:49:37,224 --> 00:49:39,602
that he belonged on stages.
1150
00:49:39,810 --> 00:49:42,188
No matter what you think
about Chris Brown,
1151
00:49:42,396 --> 00:49:43,818
when he starts to
dance and sing,
1152
00:49:44,023 --> 00:49:46,776
he has that light, he
has that fire that,
1153
00:49:46,984 --> 00:49:49,612
that lightning
rod-ness of a career.
1154
00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:51,413
So, I think that sobered
a lot of people up,
1155
00:49:51,614 --> 00:49:53,491
like, you know, you
can only do so much,
1156
00:49:53,699 --> 00:49:56,122
you can only give so much,
1157
00:49:56,327 --> 00:49:58,705
sometimes you gotta
step back a little bit
1158
00:49:58,913 --> 00:50:00,005
and just decompress.
1159
00:50:00,206 --> 00:50:02,675
Everybody's human, and
everybody makes mistakes,
1160
00:50:02,875 --> 00:50:04,422
and if God can give us mercy,
1161
00:50:04,627 --> 00:50:07,881
why can't we have
mercy on each other?
1162
00:50:08,088 --> 00:50:10,557
You may have heard about Chris
Brown's appearance here
1163
00:50:10,758 --> 00:50:14,058
on GMA on Tuesday, he and
I had a brief interview,
1164
00:50:14,261 --> 00:50:17,105
and then he performed a single
from his hit new album,
1165
00:50:17,306 --> 00:50:19,434
and it's what happened after
that performance that
1166
00:50:19,642 --> 00:50:20,859
unfortunately made headlines.
1167
00:50:21,060 --> 00:50:23,188
Chris Brown did become
very angry backstage
1168
00:50:23,395 --> 00:50:24,396
here in our studios,
1169
00:50:24,605 --> 00:50:27,108
talking about his past
clearly touched a nerve,
1170
00:50:27,316 --> 00:50:30,866
and his behavior now
has everyone talking.
1171
00:50:31,070 --> 00:50:34,074
The Good Morning
America incident, man.
1172
00:50:34,281 --> 00:50:38,331
Chris Brown, riding high,
brand new CD out, F.A.M.E.,
1173
00:50:38,536 --> 00:50:40,129
it's out today, already has
three number one hits,
1174
00:50:40,329 --> 00:50:42,002
a fourth one
climbing the charts,
1175
00:50:42,206 --> 00:50:44,459
and the album is number
one on iTunes today.
1176
00:50:44,667 --> 00:50:46,840
It's a far cry from the last
time the two of us sat down,
1177
00:50:47,044 --> 00:50:49,638
just months after he pled
guilty to felony assault.
1178
00:50:49,838 --> 00:50:51,636
He took responsibility for
hitting his then girlfriend,
1179
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,218
Rihanna, and has spent the
last two years rebuilding
1180
00:50:54,426 --> 00:50:56,975
his life, Chris
Brown, how are you?
1181
00:50:57,179 --> 00:50:58,806
I'm pretty good, yeah,
everything's good, yeah.
1182
00:50:59,014 --> 00:51:01,233
That morning, I remember
my album had just came out
1183
00:51:01,433 --> 00:51:03,686
that day, was supposed to
be a big promotion 'cause,
1184
00:51:03,894 --> 00:51:06,568
you know, all of the songs
were doing great, "Deuces,"
1185
00:51:06,772 --> 00:51:10,026
"Look At Me Now," all these
big records, "Yeah 3x,"
1186
00:51:10,234 --> 00:51:12,111
it was so many records that,
1187
00:51:12,319 --> 00:51:14,617
that were kind of just
elevating and transcending
1188
00:51:14,822 --> 00:51:19,373
life instead of the negative
that was in my life.
1189
00:51:19,577 --> 00:51:21,170
So, that morning I remember,
1190
00:51:21,370 --> 00:51:23,623
and I always do this on
prep before any interview,
1191
00:51:23,831 --> 00:51:25,708
I would say, "Hey, look,
these are the terms and
1192
00:51:25,916 --> 00:51:27,008
conditions of the interview,
1193
00:51:27,209 --> 00:51:29,837
you cannot ask this question,
you cannot ask this question,
1194
00:51:30,045 --> 00:51:32,514
and we need you to sign
off just so we can take
1195
00:51:32,715 --> 00:51:34,217
legal action if you do."
1196
00:51:34,425 --> 00:51:36,018
And thank you for sitting
down for just a moment
1197
00:51:36,218 --> 00:51:38,812
for, it's all about the
music, your fans are here,
1198
00:51:39,013 --> 00:51:41,857
but you have been very
good about talking with me
1199
00:51:42,057 --> 00:51:43,855
a little bit about this because
1200
00:51:44,059 --> 00:51:46,357
we've gone through it
and talked about it
1201
00:51:46,562 --> 00:51:47,984
when I went to your home.
1202
00:51:48,188 --> 00:51:51,032
What's going on now is that
recently the restraining order
1203
00:51:51,233 --> 00:51:55,659
against you that Rihanna had
issued has been relaxed.
1204
00:51:55,863 --> 00:51:57,706
I always danced
around the topic,
1205
00:51:57,906 --> 00:51:59,499
I always would dance around
it, and I didn't know
1206
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:00,246
how to deal with it,
1207
00:52:00,451 --> 00:52:02,795
my self esteem was a big
insecurity within myself.
1208
00:52:02,995 --> 00:52:03,996
Have you all seen each other,
1209
00:52:04,204 --> 00:52:04,955
been around each other?
1210
00:52:05,164 --> 00:52:06,882
I mean, not really, I mean,
1211
00:52:07,082 --> 00:52:08,174
it's not really a
big deal to me now,
1212
00:52:08,417 --> 00:52:09,168
as far as that situation,
1213
00:52:09,376 --> 00:52:10,423
I think I'm past
that in my life,
1214
00:52:10,628 --> 00:52:12,301
and I think today's
the album day,
1215
00:52:12,504 --> 00:52:13,380
so that's what I'm focused on,
1216
00:52:13,589 --> 00:52:15,262
so everybody go get that album.
1217
00:52:15,466 --> 00:52:17,093
That was so intense to me,
1218
00:52:17,301 --> 00:52:19,599
and I felt like it was a
slap in the face, like,
1219
00:52:19,803 --> 00:52:23,899
you want me to be
this person on TV,
1220
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,772
you want me to be that person,
1221
00:52:25,976 --> 00:52:27,819
you still want me
to be the monster.
1222
00:52:28,020 --> 00:52:30,773
- F.A.M.E., F-A-M-E.
- Yeah.
1223
00:52:30,981 --> 00:52:32,358
What does that stand for?
F.A.M.E.,
1224
00:52:32,566 --> 00:52:33,488
forgiving all my enemies,
1225
00:52:33,692 --> 00:52:35,694
and definitely, fans
are my everything,
1226
00:52:35,903 --> 00:52:37,325
and that meaning,
like, you know,
1227
00:52:37,529 --> 00:52:39,202
being able to go through
everything I went through
1228
00:52:39,406 --> 00:52:41,329
and show my fans that I
love them, you know,
1229
00:52:41,533 --> 00:52:43,251
that's what it is, and
fans are my everything.
1230
00:52:43,452 --> 00:52:44,795
You could see me
getting agitated.
1231
00:52:44,995 --> 00:52:46,588
You could see me in there
1232
00:52:46,789 --> 00:52:48,166
kind of getting frustrated.
1233
00:52:48,374 --> 00:52:49,421
Well, you said forgive
all my enemies,
1234
00:52:49,625 --> 00:52:50,547
who do you consider
your enemies?
1235
00:52:50,751 --> 00:52:52,924
Just anybody, naysayers, haters,
1236
00:52:53,128 --> 00:52:55,256
I just think, you know, being
positive and promoting that
1237
00:52:55,464 --> 00:52:57,592
is what I'm about now, and
that's what I wanna do.
1238
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,222
I was like, clenching
my jaws, and,
1239
00:52:59,426 --> 00:53:01,099
trying to play it off.
1240
00:53:01,303 --> 00:53:02,555
Yeah, but you could
understand how some people
1241
00:53:02,763 --> 00:53:04,857
you know, that was very serious,
1242
00:53:05,057 --> 00:53:06,183
what you went through.
1243
00:53:06,392 --> 00:53:08,315
It just was killing me because
1244
00:53:08,519 --> 00:53:11,614
she was depicting the monster
that I thought I was.
1245
00:53:11,814 --> 00:53:14,112
Have you been able to, how
have you been able to,
1246
00:53:14,316 --> 00:53:15,818
-put that--
- I've been focusing
1247
00:53:16,026 --> 00:53:17,994
on this album, you know, I
think this album is what,
1248
00:53:18,195 --> 00:53:19,538
you know, I want people to hear,
1249
00:53:19,738 --> 00:53:21,240
and I want people to
really get into, so,
1250
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,701
definitely this album is what
I want them to talk about,
1251
00:53:23,909 --> 00:53:26,287
and not that stuff that
happened two years ago.
1252
00:53:26,495 --> 00:53:28,293
I understand that,
I understand that.
1253
00:53:28,497 --> 00:53:31,592
So I lash out, and it's
like an unconscious,
1254
00:53:31,792 --> 00:53:34,762
like, impulsive, like, demon.
1255
00:53:34,962 --> 00:53:37,181
I just walked off stage, and
when I walked off stage,
1256
00:53:37,381 --> 00:53:39,258
in the back room, I broke down.
1257
00:53:39,466 --> 00:53:41,093
I took my shirt
off, I was crying
1258
00:53:41,343 --> 00:53:42,720
in the middle of the floor,
1259
00:53:42,928 --> 00:53:45,556
like, I was mad,
punching the wall,
1260
00:53:45,764 --> 00:53:47,061
like, so enraged.
1261
00:53:47,266 --> 00:53:48,939
I remember one of the security
guards that worked there
1262
00:53:49,143 --> 00:53:50,486
ran up, I said, "Bro,
if you come in,
1263
00:53:50,686 --> 00:53:52,313
it's gonna go bad for you."
1264
00:53:52,521 --> 00:53:54,398
Shattered window which
Chris allegedly
1265
00:53:54,606 --> 00:53:57,860
destroyed after he stormed
off the GMA stage.
1266
00:53:58,068 --> 00:54:01,288
And they think I threw a
chair through the window.
1267
00:54:01,488 --> 00:54:02,956
I punched the window.
1268
00:54:03,157 --> 00:54:06,331
Through my anger, I didn't know
how hard I hit the window,
1269
00:54:06,535 --> 00:54:09,539
and it actually shattered,
and I was like, fuck.
1270
00:54:09,747 --> 00:54:11,294
I just remember just leaving
the building, I said,
1271
00:54:11,498 --> 00:54:13,296
I gotta leave the building
before I do something else.
1272
00:54:13,500 --> 00:54:14,968
And I just remember
running outside.
1273
00:54:15,169 --> 00:54:16,011
Me hopping in a van,
1274
00:54:16,211 --> 00:54:17,087
you got pictures of
me with my shirt off
1275
00:54:17,296 --> 00:54:17,888
in the middle of the street,
1276
00:54:18,088 --> 00:54:20,432
and, like, I was crazy, man,
1277
00:54:20,632 --> 00:54:23,226
that's like psycho behavior.
1278
00:54:23,427 --> 00:54:25,475
I think Chris has gone to
the bottom at some point
1279
00:54:25,679 --> 00:54:28,228
in his career, or at least
he's felt that way.
1280
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:30,605
When you're Chris Brown
and you're that big,
1281
00:54:30,809 --> 00:54:35,610
-you know, it's the biggest
camera on you at all times.
1282
00:54:35,814 --> 00:54:37,407
- Fuck $10,
1283
00:54:37,608 --> 00:54:38,985
- give me my key.
- Let's go, let's go,
1284
00:54:39,193 --> 00:54:40,820
You gonna turn this
whole spot up.
1285
00:54:41,028 --> 00:54:42,245
- Promise you.
- We got it right here,
1286
00:54:42,446 --> 00:54:43,117
we got it right here.
1287
00:54:43,322 --> 00:54:44,665
[remake reporter} Fighting
with singer Frank Ocean,
1288
00:54:44,865 --> 00:54:46,367
reportedly over a parking spot.
1289
00:54:46,575 --> 00:54:48,168
According to reports,
1290
00:54:48,368 --> 00:54:50,086
both Chris and Drake were
hanging out in the V.I.P.
1291
00:54:50,287 --> 00:54:53,416
section one minute, the next,
fists and bottles were flying,
1292
00:54:53,624 --> 00:54:56,719
leaving the club completely
trashed, several people hurt.
1293
00:54:56,919 --> 00:54:59,513
I definitely think it's
extremely important
1294
00:54:59,713 --> 00:55:02,466
to walk away from a
situation before anger
1295
00:55:02,674 --> 00:55:04,597
gets the best of you because
1296
00:55:04,802 --> 00:55:09,273
everything after that
is a consequence.
1297
00:55:09,473 --> 00:55:11,771
You have to focus on
the choices you make,
1298
00:55:11,975 --> 00:55:15,070
and me, I was a fuck
it kind of dude.
1299
00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:16,817
So it was like, I
didn't give a fuck,
1300
00:55:17,022 --> 00:55:20,196
so I'm like, "Fuck it, I don't care.
Fuck it."
1301
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,448
That mentality though
only lasts for so long,
1302
00:55:22,653 --> 00:55:23,529
then you go to jail.
1303
00:55:23,737 --> 00:55:25,410
Chris Brown, he's in a
Washington, D.C. jail
1304
00:55:25,656 --> 00:55:26,031
this morning,
1305
00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:28,413
charged with assaulting a
man early Sunday morning
1306
00:55:28,617 --> 00:55:29,914
outside his hotel.
1307
00:55:30,118 --> 00:55:31,415
Paula, this is a serious charge,
1308
00:55:31,620 --> 00:55:33,497
and Brown already on probation
1309
00:55:33,705 --> 00:55:35,048
on domestic violence charge.
1310
00:55:35,249 --> 00:55:37,343
Karrueche broke up with
me, and I was like--
1311
00:55:37,543 --> 00:55:39,796
and I didn't know how to
deal with it at the time.
1312
00:55:40,003 --> 00:55:43,507
And I just was angry,
so when I got to D.C.,
1313
00:55:43,715 --> 00:55:45,012
that's when I caught that case,
1314
00:55:45,217 --> 00:55:47,345
I broke one of the guy's nose.
1315
00:55:47,553 --> 00:55:48,896
Chris Brown in
jail this morning,
1316
00:55:49,096 --> 00:55:51,019
and could face the
reality of prison time
1317
00:55:51,223 --> 00:55:52,896
after this latest incident,
1318
00:55:53,141 --> 00:55:55,018
his third run-in of the year.
1319
00:55:55,227 --> 00:55:56,820
The victim says in the
police incident report
1320
00:55:57,020 --> 00:55:59,273
he attempted to get into
a photo with Brown,
1321
00:55:59,481 --> 00:56:01,529
and the rapper said, quote,
"I'm not down with that
1322
00:56:01,733 --> 00:56:04,782
"gay expletive, I
feel like boxing. "
1323
00:56:04,987 --> 00:56:06,830
Brown then punched
Parker in the face.
1324
00:56:07,030 --> 00:56:08,782
That caused me to check
myself into rehab,
1325
00:56:08,991 --> 00:56:11,665
you know, I checked myself into
rehab for anger management.
1326
00:56:11,869 --> 00:56:13,496
Hopefully rehab
will be a new start
1327
00:56:13,704 --> 00:56:16,332
for the singer, he seemed
to be hinting at that
1328
00:56:16,540 --> 00:56:18,338
in this recent tweet.
1329
00:56:18,542 --> 00:56:20,215
In order to go where
you have never gone,
1330
00:56:20,419 --> 00:56:23,514
you have to be willing to go
where you have never been.
1331
00:56:23,714 --> 00:56:25,307
I tried to figure out
what makes me tick,
1332
00:56:25,507 --> 00:56:27,555
what makes me this aggressive,
1333
00:56:27,759 --> 00:56:30,683
why do I have to be this
impulsive, why am I this person?
1334
00:56:30,888 --> 00:56:32,105
I think that this
1335
00:56:32,306 --> 00:56:33,273
being his third violation,
1336
00:56:33,473 --> 00:56:36,977
the judge is probably gonna
throw the book at him.
1337
00:56:47,696 --> 00:56:50,074
Everybody has some
tumultuous thing
1338
00:56:50,282 --> 00:56:52,000
that happens in their career.
1339
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,922
The way you rebound from that
is what makes you who you are.
1340
00:56:57,122 --> 00:56:59,500
If you didn't have
something to go through,
1341
00:56:59,708 --> 00:57:02,302
it wouldn't be worth
it when you got to it.
1342
00:57:02,502 --> 00:57:04,846
Chris Brown has
checked into rehab.
1343
00:57:05,047 --> 00:57:07,175
The singer's rep
announced Tuesday night
1344
00:57:07,382 --> 00:57:09,510
he's chosen to enter a facility.
1345
00:57:09,718 --> 00:57:11,720
His goal is to gain
focus and insight
1346
00:57:11,929 --> 00:57:13,977
into his past and
recent behavior,
1347
00:57:14,181 --> 00:57:17,151
enabling him to continue
the pursuit of his life
1348
00:57:17,351 --> 00:57:20,776
and his career from a
healthier vantage point.
1349
00:57:20,979 --> 00:57:23,903
Chris} During that time, I
had to do community service,
1350
00:57:24,107 --> 00:57:26,530
and go to the rehab.
1351
00:57:26,735 --> 00:57:28,533
Rehab helped me, to a degree.
1352
00:57:28,737 --> 00:57:30,865
Not to discredit anybody
or everybody, you know,
1353
00:57:31,073 --> 00:57:33,701
I think because of my
lifestyle and who I was,
1354
00:57:33,909 --> 00:57:36,833
I was envied a lot by
even some of the staff
1355
00:57:37,037 --> 00:57:38,334
and some of the people
that worked there.
1356
00:57:38,538 --> 00:57:40,131
Chris was thrown out today
1357
00:57:40,332 --> 00:57:41,879
for breaking internal rules,
and sources are telling us
1358
00:57:42,084 --> 00:57:44,382
that Chris had an inappropriate,
1359
00:57:44,586 --> 00:57:46,088
is how we're being
told, a relationship
1360
00:57:46,296 --> 00:57:47,047
with a worker there.
1361
00:57:47,255 --> 00:57:49,474
So, I get a call
up to the office,
1362
00:57:49,675 --> 00:57:51,518
they said, somebody
wants to speak to you,
1363
00:57:51,718 --> 00:57:53,391
so I walk up to the
office like, okay, cool.
1364
00:57:53,595 --> 00:57:55,939
Seven cops just come out,
drawing guns, drawing,
1365
00:57:56,139 --> 00:57:57,891
get down, get on the ground.
1366
00:57:58,100 --> 00:57:59,943
I'm like, "What the
fuck did I do?"
1367
00:58:00,143 --> 00:58:03,022
So, the woman, I guess,
1368
00:58:03,230 --> 00:58:06,404
she lied and said
that I talk about,
1369
00:58:06,608 --> 00:58:09,407
I talked about threatening
with knives and guns,
1370
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,080
and I like to hurt people
for fun, or whatever it is.
1371
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,954
If you look at any of the
reports in the whole time
1372
00:58:15,158 --> 00:58:18,037
I've been there, there's
never been no incident
1373
00:58:18,245 --> 00:58:19,838
of me saying anything like that.
1374
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:22,917
I said, "Why would I even
randomly joke about that?"
1375
00:58:23,125 --> 00:58:24,342
You know what I'm saying, so,
1376
00:58:24,543 --> 00:58:26,341
I could see that it was,
somebody set me up,
1377
00:58:26,545 --> 00:58:29,173
so, automatically, they called my P.O.
and said,
1378
00:58:29,381 --> 00:58:30,758
we kicked him out of rehab.
1379
00:58:30,966 --> 00:58:33,435
And then the judge said,
"Well, go pick him up."
1380
00:58:33,635 --> 00:58:35,137
County jail, here I come.
1381
00:58:35,345 --> 00:58:37,848
I don't think that
there's any doubt
1382
00:58:38,056 --> 00:58:39,774
that Chris Brown is not guilty,
1383
00:58:39,975 --> 00:58:42,728
and we want him to
be found not guilty.
1384
00:58:42,936 --> 00:58:44,062
He'd been there for 90 days,
1385
00:58:44,271 --> 00:58:45,818
he was making
tremendous progress,
1386
00:58:46,023 --> 00:58:47,525
you know, do you have a bad day?
1387
00:58:47,733 --> 00:58:49,030
I have bad days sometimes.
1388
00:58:49,234 --> 00:58:50,577
Do you say things you'd
like to take back?
1389
00:58:50,777 --> 00:58:53,200
I certainly do, so,
I don't know that
1390
00:58:53,405 --> 00:58:54,907
being in a therapeutic session,
1391
00:58:55,115 --> 00:58:57,538
and you're talking about
your reflections,
1392
00:58:57,743 --> 00:59:00,838
and you say one sentence,
means you go to jail?
1393
00:59:01,038 --> 00:59:04,793
Seems to me to be
counterproductive to therapy.
1394
00:59:10,088 --> 00:59:12,056
Jail was like an
eye opener, man,
1395
00:59:12,257 --> 00:59:14,385
once you get in there
with real killers,
1396
00:59:14,593 --> 00:59:16,812
once you get in there
with real murderers
1397
00:59:17,012 --> 00:59:19,982
and real rapists, child
molesters, and, you know,
1398
00:59:20,182 --> 00:59:23,607
all of the worst,
you get a chance to
1399
00:59:23,810 --> 00:59:26,484
understand what it is,
and how blessed you are.
1400
00:59:26,688 --> 00:59:28,406
Joyce} It feels like
you're hopeless,
1401
00:59:28,607 --> 00:59:31,486
although when he was in jail,
I was there every other day.
1402
00:59:31,693 --> 00:59:34,446
The judge gave me permission
to go in with his attorneys,
1403
00:59:34,654 --> 00:59:37,453
and that was uplifting for me,
1404
00:59:37,657 --> 00:59:39,159
'cause everyday I'm
calling the attorney,
1405
00:59:39,367 --> 00:59:40,789
could you please
go with me today,
1406
00:59:40,994 --> 00:59:42,291
could you please go with
me, I just wanna see him,
1407
00:59:42,496 --> 00:59:44,794
because I said, just to
get him out of the cell.
1408
00:59:44,998 --> 00:59:48,093
You get out on, like, the end
of the week for an hour,
1409
00:59:48,293 --> 00:59:50,341
you go to the roof and they
will put you in a cage,
1410
00:59:50,545 --> 00:59:52,764
like, you wouldn't be out
with the regular people
1411
00:59:52,964 --> 00:59:53,715
and playing ball,
1412
00:59:53,924 --> 00:59:55,551
you would be in a cage with
a dip bar and a phone.
1413
00:59:55,759 --> 00:59:57,352
You understand, I mean,
couldn't sit down,
1414
00:59:57,552 --> 00:59:58,804
there was piss, shit, like,
1415
00:59:59,012 --> 01:00:00,264
people would shit
right on the floor.
1416
01:00:00,472 --> 01:00:03,021
It wasn't sanitary, you
know, it was jail,
1417
01:00:03,225 --> 01:00:05,899
at the end of the day. But
you had to either adapt,
1418
01:00:06,103 --> 01:00:08,856
and kind of learn how to
mentally be content with being
1419
01:00:09,064 --> 01:00:13,069
in a stationary one spot,
that was horrible.
1420
01:00:13,276 --> 01:00:15,654
But, seeing him chained
to the table was one
1421
01:00:15,862 --> 01:00:17,705
of the most devastating things,
1422
01:00:17,906 --> 01:00:20,375
to chain his arms up to
the table, and, you know,
1423
01:00:20,575 --> 01:00:23,704
I just, like, it broke my
heart, but I couldn't cry.
1424
01:00:23,912 --> 01:00:25,755
I was like, "He can't
see me crying,"
1425
01:00:25,956 --> 01:00:27,674
because I see him, he
come in there like,
1426
01:00:27,874 --> 01:00:29,968
"I'm so happy to see you,
glad to get out of the cell."
1427
01:00:30,168 --> 01:00:31,590
Even with them extraditing me,
1428
01:00:31,795 --> 01:00:34,594
I had to go to court in D.C.
and get on Con Air.
1429
01:00:34,798 --> 01:00:37,301
I mean, they shackle you
from your hands to your feet
1430
01:00:37,509 --> 01:00:39,102
around your waist and you walk,
1431
01:00:39,302 --> 01:00:40,770
and you walk right in a line,
1432
01:00:40,971 --> 01:00:43,474
and you know, marshals with
real pistols and tasers.
1433
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:47,357
The idea that somebody
would be bused by the feds
1434
01:00:47,561 --> 01:00:49,814
cross country for a
misdemeanor case,
1435
01:00:50,021 --> 01:00:52,115
was probably unparalleled,
1436
01:00:52,315 --> 01:00:54,818
I mean, it wouldn't be done
absent being Chris Brown.
1437
01:00:55,026 --> 01:00:56,994
For me, certain jails that
I went in didn't have
1438
01:00:57,195 --> 01:01:01,666
isolation for, you know, high
class or whatever it is,
1439
01:01:01,867 --> 01:01:04,086
so you go into solitary,
you go in the hole.
1440
01:01:04,286 --> 01:01:06,288
So, I would be in the
hole most of the time.
1441
01:01:06,496 --> 01:01:08,715
So, people don't understand
what the hole is.
1442
01:01:08,915 --> 01:01:12,260
You're in a room with a
metal door and no windows,
1443
01:01:12,460 --> 01:01:14,679
like, metal door, and
you is in the room.
1444
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,053
You can touch both
sides of the wall,
1445
01:01:17,257 --> 01:01:18,474
and the bed's metal.
1446
01:01:18,675 --> 01:01:20,928
You get a cot, but it's
like, it's nothing,
1447
01:01:21,136 --> 01:01:22,979
it's like, thinner
than your sock.
1448
01:01:23,180 --> 01:01:24,227
They'll bring you your food,
1449
01:01:24,431 --> 01:01:26,604
slide it through the
door, and that's it.
1450
01:01:26,808 --> 01:01:28,310
I would draw mirrors
on the wall,
1451
01:01:28,518 --> 01:01:30,941
just anything, that I
was being creative,
1452
01:01:31,146 --> 01:01:32,489
just keeping my mind going.
1453
01:01:32,689 --> 01:01:34,362
I got a chance to really
read the Bible at that time,
1454
01:01:34,566 --> 01:01:35,783
I never read the
Bible in my life.
1455
01:01:35,984 --> 01:01:39,955
I was amazed at the way
1456
01:01:40,155 --> 01:01:43,284
he dealt with the custody
time, going to jail.
1457
01:01:43,491 --> 01:01:47,041
For me, that was a real big
learning experience for me.
1458
01:01:47,245 --> 01:01:49,748
What I respect about him,
that he weathered the storm.
1459
01:01:49,956 --> 01:01:53,551
Just calling all my fans,
y'all know I love y'all,
1460
01:01:53,752 --> 01:01:55,095
I thank y'all for
all the support.
1461
01:01:55,295 --> 01:01:57,013
Thank you for
everything, you know,
1462
01:01:57,214 --> 01:01:59,637
the video just came out, so
I hope y'all enjoy that.
1463
01:01:59,841 --> 01:02:03,687
And most importantly, Kae,
Karrueche, I love you.
1464
01:02:03,887 --> 01:02:05,935
I've looked at that
experience again,
1465
01:02:06,139 --> 01:02:07,436
but it goes to that old adage,
1466
01:02:07,641 --> 01:02:09,939
if it doesn't kill you,
it makes you stronger.
1467
01:02:10,143 --> 01:02:12,737
Throughout that time, it just,
it just was an eye opener,
1468
01:02:12,938 --> 01:02:14,781
and I just looked at myself
like, this ain't my life,
1469
01:02:14,981 --> 01:02:16,858
this is not what I do.
1470
01:02:17,067 --> 01:02:21,413
I think pain is our strength,
struggle is our victory.
1471
01:02:21,613 --> 01:02:23,581
Even me being a young black man,
1472
01:02:23,782 --> 01:02:26,080
or anybody that's oppressed or,
1473
01:02:26,284 --> 01:02:29,254
or been looked less
of, or kind of like,
1474
01:02:29,454 --> 01:02:31,331
you know, thrown
out to the wolves,
1475
01:02:31,539 --> 01:02:37,091
I just think our pain makes
us fearless, you know?
1476
01:02:37,295 --> 01:02:40,640
Because it's not, you
don't have a choice.
1477
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,558
Well, when they say you
at the bottom, right,
1478
01:02:42,759 --> 01:02:45,478
there's nowhere to
go but up, always.
1479
01:02:45,679 --> 01:02:48,057
A' Thought it was
over Let me see
1480
01:02:48,265 --> 01:02:50,017
The controversial singer was
1481
01:02:50,225 --> 01:02:51,226
released early Monday
in Los Angeles,
1482
01:02:51,434 --> 01:02:52,060
according to authorities.
1483
01:02:52,269 --> 01:02:54,397
As a refresher, he's been
in lockup since March,
1484
01:02:54,604 --> 01:02:56,481
when he was arrested for
violating the rules
1485
01:02:56,690 --> 01:02:58,784
of a court order
to rehab center.
1486
01:02:58,984 --> 01:03:00,986
I was released from jail
1487
01:03:01,194 --> 01:03:02,912
I think July 6th,
1488
01:03:03,113 --> 01:03:06,413
and it was a Sunday, I just
remembered, I was like, "Woah,
1489
01:03:06,616 --> 01:03:08,084
they came and got me," I
kissed the ground when
1490
01:03:08,285 --> 01:03:09,002
I got out and everything,
1491
01:03:09,202 --> 01:03:11,375
went to Burger King, went, I
like, I got every, I was like,
1492
01:03:11,579 --> 01:03:13,798
eating every burger
you could name,
1493
01:03:13,999 --> 01:03:17,549
and then I went to my girlfriend
at the time's house, Kae,
1494
01:03:17,752 --> 01:03:20,551
'cause my house was actually, I
just didn't want to go to it,
1495
01:03:20,755 --> 01:03:22,598
so I was staying at
Karrueche's house.
1496
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:24,016
While Chris Brown was locked up,
1497
01:03:24,217 --> 01:03:25,685
them fans was fighting.
1498
01:03:25,885 --> 01:03:28,229
And when he came home, he
came home with a celebration,
1499
01:03:28,430 --> 01:03:30,432
and that's what it's
about when you in jail,
1500
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,689
you have a number one record,
and the people got love,
1501
01:03:33,893 --> 01:03:35,486
they love Chris Brown.
1502
01:03:45,488 --> 01:03:47,582
I These girls ain't loyal
1503
01:03:49,117 --> 01:03:50,209
I Whoa
1504
01:03:50,410 --> 01:03:53,914
I These girls ain't loyal
1505
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,799
He did his jail time,
came home like nothing.
1506
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:58,923
Went straight in the studio,
1507
01:03:59,127 --> 01:04:01,505
and he come home and put
massive hit records,
1508
01:04:01,713 --> 01:04:03,807
you gotta be strong to do that.
1509
01:04:04,007 --> 01:04:08,262
I You can tell by the way
I walk that I got 'em
1510
01:04:14,684 --> 01:04:17,153
You know, Chris is a one
in a million type artist,
1511
01:04:17,354 --> 01:04:18,355
you know what I mean,
1512
01:04:18,563 --> 01:04:19,564
you don't meet a lot of people
1513
01:04:19,773 --> 01:04:20,990
with that type of blessing
1514
01:04:21,191 --> 01:04:22,613
and that type of gift.
1515
01:04:22,817 --> 01:04:25,616
He's like, really, he's
figured out how to, like,
1516
01:04:25,820 --> 01:04:27,914
really explain what he's
goin' through in life,
1517
01:04:28,114 --> 01:04:30,116
and not just like
write a catchy song,
1518
01:04:30,325 --> 01:04:34,000
but make something that really
is what he's going through.
1519
01:04:34,204 --> 01:04:35,501
Chris Brown is
climbing the charts
1520
01:04:35,705 --> 01:04:36,957
with his newest album.
1521
01:04:37,207 --> 01:04:39,335
X was delayed through
court dates and rehab
1522
01:04:39,542 --> 01:04:42,762
following Brown's arrest from
beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
1523
01:04:42,962 --> 01:04:45,681
He spent three months in
jail and says he learned
1524
01:04:45,882 --> 01:04:46,974
from the experience.
1525
01:04:47,175 --> 01:04:48,768
For me and my spirit,
I just wanted to be
1526
01:04:48,968 --> 01:04:49,764
able to kind of like,
1527
01:04:49,969 --> 01:04:51,221
you know, have some peace,
1528
01:04:51,429 --> 01:04:54,433
and be able to chill
and do what I love,
1529
01:04:54,641 --> 01:04:57,895
because I was blessed with this
opportunity and this talent.
1530
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,400
So, I don't want to waste it.
1531
01:04:59,604 --> 01:05:00,856
Once I really changed
my life and mentally
1532
01:05:01,064 --> 01:05:03,533
started making
cognitive decisions,
1533
01:05:03,733 --> 01:05:08,705
that would better my living
and better my standards,
1534
01:05:08,905 --> 01:05:11,249
you know, a lot of things
started opening up for me,
1535
01:05:11,449 --> 01:05:14,077
you know what I'm saying,
even with just me being
1536
01:05:14,285 --> 01:05:15,377
just happy, you know?
1537
01:05:15,578 --> 01:05:17,125
Me being internally happy.
1538
01:05:17,330 --> 01:05:19,207
And everything was
good, you know,
1539
01:05:19,416 --> 01:05:22,044
and I didn't even know
about my daughter.
1540
01:05:29,342 --> 01:05:31,094
During me and
Karrueche's break up,
1541
01:05:31,302 --> 01:05:34,647
like August or September is
when my child was conceived.
1542
01:05:34,848 --> 01:05:36,850
As the time goes on,
I'm on this tour,
1543
01:05:37,058 --> 01:05:38,651
this big tour we doing,
1544
01:05:38,852 --> 01:05:41,071
I get a phone call
from a girl crying,
1545
01:05:41,271 --> 01:05:43,273
and I'm like, "What's up?"
1546
01:05:43,481 --> 01:05:45,529
And I'm like, "What's
wrong with you?"
1547
01:05:45,733 --> 01:05:47,235
And she's like, "Yo,
he's not the father,
1548
01:05:47,444 --> 01:05:48,912
you the father of the baby."
1549
01:05:49,112 --> 01:05:51,080
At this time, I'm
in a relationship,
1550
01:05:51,281 --> 01:05:53,659
trying to get my girl
pregnant at the time,
1551
01:05:53,867 --> 01:05:56,370
I'm trying to do the right
thing as a boyfriend
1552
01:05:56,578 --> 01:05:59,172
and not cheat, not mess with
no girls, none of that stuff.
1553
01:05:59,622 --> 01:06:01,249
So, I'm like, "Woah."
1554
01:06:05,295 --> 01:06:07,548
She came, I looked at the
baby, as soon as I saw her,
1555
01:06:07,755 --> 01:06:09,098
I was like,
1556
01:06:09,299 --> 01:06:12,553
"She looks just like
me, that's my kid."
1557
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:13,807
Say, what's up?
1558
01:06:14,012 --> 01:06:17,186
Oooooh.
1559
01:06:17,390 --> 01:06:20,485
So, once I found out, I
guess somebody leaked,
1560
01:06:20,685 --> 01:06:23,814
like, the story to TMZ, or
whoever they leaked it to,
1561
01:06:24,022 --> 01:06:27,697
and say, "Hey, boom, Chris
has got a secret baby,"
1562
01:06:27,901 --> 01:06:30,450
and my lawyers called me 30
minutes before the story,
1563
01:06:30,653 --> 01:06:32,530
the story dropped, like, "Yo,
they're about to run this
1564
01:06:32,739 --> 01:06:33,740
story, they already caught us,
1565
01:06:33,948 --> 01:06:35,996
told us they're running it, you
got anything you wanna say?"
1566
01:06:36,201 --> 01:06:38,954
I'm like, "What, no, I ain't
even around my girlfriend,"
1567
01:06:39,162 --> 01:06:41,256
like, I'm trying to, I need her
here so I can sit her down
1568
01:06:41,456 --> 01:06:43,834
and have a real face
to face conversation,
1569
01:06:44,042 --> 01:06:46,795
and really be honest with
her and let her know.
1570
01:06:47,003 --> 01:06:49,131
30 minutes, boom,
it's on everything.
1571
01:06:49,339 --> 01:06:50,556
So, reports have been swirling
1572
01:06:50,757 --> 01:06:52,384
that Chris Brown is
secretly the father
1573
01:06:52,592 --> 01:06:54,970
of a nine month baby girl.
1574
01:06:55,178 --> 01:06:57,601
I'm calling her, I'm
like, "Look, listen..."
1575
01:06:57,805 --> 01:06:59,352
She's looking at it
as I'm calling her.
1576
01:06:59,557 --> 01:07:01,400
She's screaming at me, "What
the hell is this shit,
1577
01:07:01,601 --> 01:07:05,606
boy, you ain't shit, I'm
tired, it's over with..."
1578
01:07:05,813 --> 01:07:06,109
Done.
1579
01:07:06,314 --> 01:07:07,782
Karrueche Tran has
confirmed this whole thing
1580
01:07:07,982 --> 01:07:10,656
on Twitter and dumped
Chris Brown in one swoop.
1581
01:07:10,860 --> 01:07:12,157
One can only take so much,
1582
01:07:12,362 --> 01:07:14,114
the best of luck to
Chris and his family.
1583
01:07:14,322 --> 01:07:16,165
No baby mama drama for me.
1584
01:07:16,366 --> 01:07:19,370
Ended that relationship,
you know what I'm saying?
1585
01:07:19,577 --> 01:07:22,831
And, like, I love my daughter
unconditionally, like,
1586
01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:26,293
nobody come before her,
you know what I'm saying,
1587
01:07:26,501 --> 01:07:30,802
God made her, you know,
for me, I think.
1588
01:07:31,005 --> 01:07:32,678
What you see?
1589
01:07:32,882 --> 01:07:37,262
It's a top. Don't eat the top!
1590
01:07:37,470 --> 01:07:39,347
Nobody coming in
between me and her.
1591
01:07:39,556 --> 01:07:41,149
I love her with all my heart,
1592
01:07:41,349 --> 01:07:43,067
I wouldn't trade
her for nothing.
1593
01:07:43,268 --> 01:07:44,770
Chris is just a
really caring guy.
1594
01:07:44,978 --> 01:07:46,230
He's always been that person,
1595
01:07:46,437 --> 01:07:48,189
and he looks after everyone,
1596
01:07:48,398 --> 01:07:51,618
and before he had a baby,
before Royalty was Royalty,
1597
01:07:51,818 --> 01:07:55,539
it's about time people see
that Chris is who Chris is,
1598
01:07:55,738 --> 01:07:59,663
which is a loving,
caring, gorgeous person.
1599
01:07:59,867 --> 01:08:02,461
Being a father now has
caused-- even made me grow up,
1600
01:08:02,662 --> 01:08:05,586
it made me grow up way more now.
1601
01:08:05,832 --> 01:08:07,129
Life is,
1602
01:08:07,333 --> 01:08:09,051
it's a special
thing, man, 'cause,
1603
01:08:09,252 --> 01:08:12,927
you know, it's going hurricane,
1604
01:08:13,131 --> 01:08:15,179
somebody else would
have gave up,
1605
01:08:15,383 --> 01:08:17,636
you know, he ain't allowed that.
1606
01:08:17,844 --> 01:08:21,769
My daughter, she shaped me
to be like a real... man.
1607
01:08:21,973 --> 01:08:23,270
That's what it's all about,
1608
01:08:23,474 --> 01:08:24,726
'cause we can only be
entertainers, fighters,
1609
01:08:24,934 --> 01:08:26,777
for a short duration of time,
1610
01:08:26,978 --> 01:08:29,527
and after that's over,
we're still human beings.
1611
01:08:29,731 --> 01:08:31,278
We have to improve on
being better human beings
1612
01:08:31,482 --> 01:08:33,484
in order to succeed in life.
1613
01:08:33,693 --> 01:08:35,912
You know, this is the
hardest game we, you know,
1614
01:08:36,112 --> 01:08:38,956
and hardest goal that we're
trying to accomplish, is life.
1615
01:08:39,157 --> 01:08:41,910
Whatever that is he
wants, that's up to him.
1616
01:08:42,118 --> 01:08:43,745
It's a life lesson,
1617
01:08:43,953 --> 01:08:47,082
for all of us,
1618
01:08:47,290 --> 01:08:49,418
because it's affected all of us.
1619
01:08:49,626 --> 01:08:51,970
If you truly do
love Chris Brown,
1620
01:08:52,170 --> 01:08:55,891
then you felt everything
that has gone on with him.
1621
01:08:56,090 --> 01:08:59,970
The end of the day, it is what
it is, it was a, you know,
1622
01:09:00,178 --> 01:09:02,772
an 18 year old guy who
made a horrible decision,
1623
01:09:02,972 --> 01:09:06,602
and was struggling
to learn from it.
1624
01:09:06,809 --> 01:09:08,777
But, you know, at
the end of the day,
1625
01:09:08,978 --> 01:09:11,902
the amount of scrutiny
that he's been under,
1626
01:09:12,106 --> 01:09:15,155
the amount of haters out there,
1627
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,533
I think is dwarfed by
the number of people
1628
01:09:17,737 --> 01:09:20,707
that really are
supportive of him.
1629
01:09:38,091 --> 01:09:42,096
Chris} Today, I am nervous, but,
1630
01:09:42,303 --> 01:09:45,056
a little bit happier
than sad, you know,
1631
01:09:45,264 --> 01:09:47,483
'cause usually when
I come in and do
1632
01:09:47,684 --> 01:09:49,937
the whole lawyer
thing, go to court,
1633
01:09:50,144 --> 01:09:53,444
it's always, well, you know,
we gonna have some trouble,
1634
01:09:53,648 --> 01:09:55,400
and Mark always gives
me a speech like,
1635
01:09:55,608 --> 01:09:58,031
I cannot keep saving your ass.
1636
01:09:58,236 --> 01:10:00,785
So, you know, it's
really a better day,
1637
01:10:00,988 --> 01:10:03,161
now that the probation
report isn't horrible,
1638
01:10:03,366 --> 01:10:05,334
it's actually good,
you know, so I'm...
1639
01:10:05,535 --> 01:10:09,335
nervous but trying
to keep it together.
1640
01:10:09,539 --> 01:10:11,792
You know, I'm gonna get in
there and be respectful,
1641
01:10:11,999 --> 01:10:14,878
polite, and if I get
off probation today,
1642
01:10:15,086 --> 01:10:17,088
it will be a miracle,
it would be amazing.
1643
01:10:17,296 --> 01:10:18,923
Well, today I'm
hopeful, we'll see.
1644
01:10:19,132 --> 01:10:23,057
We've got a good report,
he just finished his tour,
1645
01:10:23,261 --> 01:10:25,855
he has completed his
community service,
1646
01:10:26,055 --> 01:10:28,228
all of the things that
the judge had asked
1647
01:10:28,433 --> 01:10:30,856
the probation department
to investigate,
1648
01:10:31,060 --> 01:10:34,064
the law enforcement has given
a clean bill of health,
1649
01:10:34,272 --> 01:10:38,527
he's tested repeatedly clean,
1650
01:10:38,735 --> 01:10:43,366
his psychiatrist gives
him kind of great marks,
1651
01:10:43,573 --> 01:10:45,575
and I can echo that
with the psychiatrist.
1652
01:10:45,783 --> 01:10:48,627
The breadth and depth of
his understanding and
1653
01:10:48,828 --> 01:10:50,922
self-awareness is light years
1654
01:10:51,122 --> 01:10:53,250
from where it was six years ago.
1655
01:10:53,458 --> 01:10:56,086
Right now, this is
always nerves, man,
1656
01:10:56,294 --> 01:10:57,420
'cause you just never know.
1657
01:10:57,628 --> 01:10:59,471
Especially in my case
and my situation.
1658
01:10:59,672 --> 01:11:02,346
It's always something,
I'm just waiting,
1659
01:11:02,550 --> 01:11:05,975
hopefully that day is today
when all that ceases.
1660
01:11:06,179 --> 01:11:07,897
Okay, wish me luck.
1661
01:11:19,650 --> 01:11:22,244
On the matter of People
versus Christopher Brown,
1662
01:11:22,445 --> 01:11:25,824
case number VA353571,
1663
01:11:26,032 --> 01:11:27,409
the defendant is present.
1664
01:11:27,617 --> 01:11:29,585
At this time the
court does not find
1665
01:11:29,786 --> 01:11:31,834
any willful violation
of probation.
1666
01:11:31,996 --> 01:11:34,795
Probation is ordered
terminated at this point.
1667
01:11:34,999 --> 01:11:36,376
Anything further?
1668
01:11:36,584 --> 01:11:38,928
Nothing further,
thank you very much.
1669
01:11:39,128 --> 01:11:41,426
Thank you, council,
we're in recess.
1670
01:11:41,631 --> 01:11:42,348
Thank you, Your Honor.
1671
01:11:42,548 --> 01:11:44,676
You're welcome.
1672
01:11:49,055 --> 01:11:50,648
Anything to say, Chris?
1673
01:11:54,185 --> 01:11:56,108
I'm off fucking probation!
1674
01:11:59,482 --> 01:12:01,530
They terminated my probation,
1675
01:12:01,734 --> 01:12:03,407
I'm a free man,
1676
01:12:03,611 --> 01:12:06,239
no more problems, no issues,
1677
01:12:08,449 --> 01:12:10,372
nothing.
1678
01:12:10,576 --> 01:12:13,375
I feel great, I don't even
know what to say right now.
1679
01:12:13,579 --> 01:12:15,502
Probably just gonna
go to the house,
1680
01:12:15,706 --> 01:12:18,801
play with my daughter, and,
1681
01:12:19,001 --> 01:12:20,503
figure it out from there.
1682
01:12:20,711 --> 01:12:22,463
He is in a spot right now
and in a place right now
1683
01:12:22,672 --> 01:12:25,221
that I couldn't be
prouder of him.
1684
01:12:25,424 --> 01:12:27,301
The court terminated
his probation today,
1685
01:12:27,510 --> 01:12:29,763
which is a monumental
feat for him.
1686
01:12:29,971 --> 01:12:32,144
He's completed everything
that he was ordered to do.
1687
01:12:32,348 --> 01:12:33,520
I think he learned quite a bit
1688
01:12:33,724 --> 01:12:34,941
while being on probation,
1689
01:12:35,142 --> 01:12:37,019
I think it was
instructive for him,
1690
01:12:37,228 --> 01:12:39,606
and I think helpful for
him, I couldn't be happier,
1691
01:12:39,814 --> 01:12:41,031
and I'm delighted for him,
1692
01:12:41,232 --> 01:12:43,576
and we're gonna go
celebrate right now.
1693
01:12:43,776 --> 01:12:47,155
I think my music is
gonna be my legacy.
1694
01:12:47,363 --> 01:12:51,709
But what I want the people
to remember me for is my...
1695
01:12:53,077 --> 01:12:55,045
determination,
1696
01:12:55,246 --> 01:12:57,248
and I think when my
daughter gets older,
1697
01:12:57,456 --> 01:12:59,299
you know, she'll look
at this, and be like,
1698
01:12:59,500 --> 01:13:01,753
"Man, my daddy CFBZY: you know?"
1699
01:13:01,961 --> 01:13:06,137
But, she'll be proud of
the man I've become.
1700
01:13:06,340 --> 01:13:10,186
You've experienced the
travesty and the,
1701
01:13:10,386 --> 01:13:13,356
and this traumatic journey
back to just being
1702
01:13:13,556 --> 01:13:19,529
a conversation about music, a
conversation about artistry.
1703
01:13:19,729 --> 01:13:22,357
You know, the fact
that he's chosen art
1704
01:13:22,565 --> 01:13:26,365
as another expressive
tool I think is great.
1705
01:13:26,569 --> 01:13:29,743
There's so many
opinions in this world,
1706
01:13:29,947 --> 01:13:34,498
and he is one strong guy to
kind of carry it through,
1707
01:13:34,702 --> 01:13:36,955
and like, take that
weight on his shoulders,
1708
01:13:37,163 --> 01:13:39,291
and still roll with it.
1709
01:13:39,540 --> 01:13:41,383
This generation, I don't
see nobody coming out
1710
01:13:41,584 --> 01:13:43,177
like him for the next 10 years.
1711
01:13:43,377 --> 01:13:46,472
Of this century, he's the
Michael Jackson, you know?
1712
01:13:46,672 --> 01:13:48,174
We thank you for this
opportunity to be here,
1713
01:13:48,382 --> 01:13:49,759
to allow us to
bless these people
1714
01:13:49,967 --> 01:13:52,265
with amazing talents and
fun, and happy spirits,
1715
01:13:52,470 --> 01:13:54,017
and all that, thank
everybody that's here,
1716
01:13:54,221 --> 01:13:56,019
I'm glad to see each and
everybody in good health,
1717
01:13:56,223 --> 01:13:57,941
everybody in one piece,
now let's do what
1718
01:13:58,142 --> 01:13:58,938
we came here to do,
1719
01:13:59,143 --> 01:14:01,066
and give them one hell of a
night, without the hell,
1720
01:14:01,270 --> 01:14:02,522
but you know what
I'm talking about.
1721
01:14:02,730 --> 01:14:03,652
In Your name I pray, amen!
1722
01:14:03,856 --> 01:14:05,028
Amen!
1723
01:14:05,232 --> 01:14:06,700
When you're on stage with him,
1724
01:14:06,901 --> 01:14:09,324
or you're in the crowd
with him, and he smiles,
1725
01:14:09,528 --> 01:14:13,749
to see that kid in him,
man, it's, it's amazing.
1726
01:14:13,950 --> 01:14:15,372
Chris, right now, is,
1727
01:14:15,576 --> 01:14:17,624
and probably for the
past couple of years,
1728
01:14:17,828 --> 01:14:20,752
has been so prominent,
as far as his influence,
1729
01:14:20,957 --> 01:14:23,631
and what music is right now.
1730
01:14:23,834 --> 01:14:25,711
I mean, as it is, he's
already one of the
1731
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:26,921
greatest of all time.
1732
01:14:27,129 --> 01:14:29,973
Stephen} The smile that he
lost in those middle years
1733
01:14:30,174 --> 01:14:32,302
is back in earnest now.
1734
01:14:32,510 --> 01:14:34,763
And what I love and respect
the most about him
1735
01:14:34,971 --> 01:14:37,975
is that he didn't let it
mess up his creativity.
1736
01:14:38,182 --> 01:14:40,810
He didn't let it
affect his music.
1737
01:14:41,018 --> 01:14:42,611
And no matter what people say,
1738
01:14:42,812 --> 01:14:44,860
he keeps giving us them bangers.
1739
01:14:45,064 --> 01:14:47,408
That's an icon, I promise you.
1740
01:14:47,608 --> 01:14:49,406
Chris Brown is a special person,
1741
01:14:49,610 --> 01:14:52,739
when you're that special, your
trials are gonna be great.
1742
01:14:52,947 --> 01:14:54,949
Time is the greatest
teacher of them all.
1743
01:14:55,157 --> 01:14:56,534
When you see him now, he's just,
1744
01:14:56,742 --> 01:14:57,538
he's just more of a man.
1745
01:14:57,743 --> 01:15:00,166
I hope he becomes the
biggest superstar
1746
01:15:00,371 --> 01:15:03,124
in the world, I really do.
1747
01:15:16,929 --> 01:15:18,977
Chris} My legacy is based on...
1748
01:15:20,266 --> 01:15:22,143
my choice, you know.
1749
01:15:22,351 --> 01:15:24,194
I choose to be a great father.
1750
01:15:27,106 --> 01:15:29,734
I choose to be a great artist.
1751
01:15:29,942 --> 01:15:32,946
I choose to never get
in trouble, you know.
1752
01:15:33,154 --> 01:15:35,248
I'm trying, but I'm still human.
1753
01:15:35,448 --> 01:15:37,871
And for all my love that
I get from my fans,
1754
01:15:38,075 --> 01:15:40,794
and the love that I get
from my daughter alone,
1755
01:15:40,995 --> 01:15:44,215
it's shaping me to
become legendary.
1756
01:15:51,964 --> 01:15:55,844
If there was ever a
doubt in your mind,
1757
01:15:56,052 --> 01:15:59,397
Chris Brown was done,
he was finished...
1758
01:16:00,556 --> 01:16:02,979
I wouldn't bet on it.
1759
01:16:08,898 --> 01:16:11,651
I And when I get to the edge
1760
01:16:11,859 --> 01:16:15,329
I I turn around and put
that dream behind me
1761
01:16:15,529 --> 01:16:19,500
a' And it never feels
the way I want
1762
01:16:28,125 --> 01:16:29,342
I Have you been there
1763
01:16:31,170 --> 01:16:33,798
S Have you done this once before
1764
01:16:36,133 --> 01:16:37,510
I And all these lights
1765
01:16:37,718 --> 01:16:40,847
S Now you're lying on the floor
1766
01:16:54,151 --> 01:16:56,745
I Welcome to my life
1767
01:16:59,745 --> 01:17:03,745
