Chris Brown: "I Ain't No Monster"

Chris Brown ain't no monster -- just ask him.
Brown, still awaiting his fate from a judge in connection with his alleged beating of ex-girlfriend Rihanna in February, stated his case to the court of public opinion 2009-style: via YouTube.
In a brand new video, the 20-year-old R&B wunderkind plugged his forthcoming album, Graffiti, and briefly defended his character, which has been questioned by many since photos of the bruised and bloodied Caribbean Queen surfaced shortly after the alleged violent quarrel.
"I don't do all this talking on the thing, this is just some new stuff I'm doing," he said, looking like your average kid trying out his new Web cam. "I just wanna say 'what's up?,' because I ain't been out there in a minute... we ain't going nowhere. Everybody that's haters, they just been haters. All my real fans, I love you. I ain't a monster."
