Four years after the now infamous abuse by Chris Brown to then-girlfriend, Rihanna, the rapper is speaking out about what he refers to as the “Rihanna incident.’
Chris told The Guardian newspaper that he remembers the assault as “the biggest wake-up call for me.”;
It made him realize he had to “stop acting like a little teenager, a crazy, wild young guy.”;
Despite public brawls with Drake and Frank Ocean, Chris doesn’t consider himself a violent man. The 24-year-old rapper says he’s learned from that night in 2009 and the resounding public fallout calling it “one of the most troubling times in my life.”;
“I learned from it, and it was almost like… I wouldn’t say it happened for a reason, but it was something to trigger my mind to be more of a mature adult. To handle myself in situations, don’t throw tantrums, don’t be a baby about it.’
Chris doesn’t want the incident to follow him around anymore. He’s adamant that he’s not the aggressor.
