‘Words cannot begin to express how sorry and frustrated I am over what transpired publicly on Twitter,’ singer tells TMZ. By Gil Kaufman Chris Brown Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images A day after launching a series of N-bombs and homophobic tweets in the direction of former B2K singer Raz-B , Chris Brown was feeling contrite Thursday (December 30). The singer, who recently boasted about his completion of a court-ordered, yearlong domestic-violence course as part of his sentencing for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna, told gossip site TMZ that he regretted making crude sexual comments that were considered homophobic. “Yesterday was an unfortunate lack in judgment sparked by public Twitter attacks from Raz-B, who was bent on getting attention,” Brown said of the virtual feud. “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and frustrated I am over what transpired publicly on Twitter. I have learned over the past few years to not condone or represent acts of violence against anyone.” On Wednesday, the “Deuces” singer got charged up when Raz-B tweeted a comment critical of Brown in the midst of a flurry of tweets in praise of Rihanna. “I’m just sittin here thinking how can n—as like [Eric Benet] & [Chris Brown] disrespect women as intelligent as Halle Berry, Rihanna,” Raz wrote. Brown quickly shot back, tweeting , “N—a you want attention! Grow up n—a!!! Di– in da booty ass lil boy.” The harsh comments were an apparent allusion to allegations Raz-B made (and later retracted) that B2K manager Brian Stokes had molested him. Several other homophobia-tinged responses followed, but, unlike in the past when Brown went into Internet silence after making heated statements, he vowed that this time, he would not delete his Twitter account. “I was minding my damn business and Peter pan decides to pop off!!!” Brown wrote. “I’m not mad though!!! I’m just not silent nor am i one of these scary R&B cats!!” In light of the harsh statements, Brown followed up by writing, “I’m not homophobic! He’s just disrespectful!!!” Since the Rihanna assault, Brown has made a series of outrageous or confounding statements that he quickly followed with apologies or retractions. He followed that pattern on Thursday, when he told TMZ, “Molestation and victims of such acts are not to be taken lightly; and for my comments I apologize — from the bottom of my heart.” An unnamed source connected to Brown pointed out that Raz’s allegations against Stokes were suspect, adding that regardless of their veracity, Brown’s comments were not acceptable. “I love all of my fans, gay and straight,” Brown went on to say. “I have friends from all walks of life and I am committed, with God’s help, to continue becoming a better person.” Though Brown was extending an olive branch, TMZ also noted that Raz’s brother, the singer known as Ricky Romance, posted a video threatening that if he saw Brown in Los Angeles, he would “put my mother—-ing pistol in your mouth.” A spokesperson for Raz noted that Ricky’s comments do not represent Raz’s feelings but are the result of a protective instinct among siblings. “Raz-B has already spoken to his brother and told him to chill out,” the spokesperson said.
