Chris Brown said he's been "kinda chillin" in his love life since his well-publicized breakup with Rihanna.
"I mean, I'm Chris Brown," the convicted woman-beater told MTV News. "I'm not saying it like that, but it's just, like, girls are gonna be around. I love women. But I would say I've just been chillin'. I haven't really been trying to get into a relationship or trying to date anybody. I've just kinda been working on me. Like I said, just really getting me straight."
While its clear the R&B singer has no shortage of willing beauties hoping to get his attention, he has made references to his lost love, Rihanna, since their split. On October 26, he Tweeted "IM SORRY YALL. JUST HAD TO POST IT," linking to a YouTube video titled The Way We Used To Be, showing him and his ex-girlfriend in better times.
Brown has expressed remorse and sorrow over his brutal beating of the Umbrella singer February 8 in Hancock Park, California. He was sentenced to five years' probation and ordered to do 180 days of community labor as a part of the plea deal he made in June for assaulting the Barbadian superstar; a restraining order issued to Brown orders him to keep his distance from her for five years.
