In February teen R’n'B singer Chris Brown shocked the world when he brutally assaulted his pop star girlfriend Rihanna. Now five months later, Chris is finally saying sorry.

He insists he has apologized to Rihanna personally and privately. This video is his apology to the fans that he’s hoping will stick by him.

He says all the right words with all the sincerity he needs, but I must admit I’m skeptical nonetheless. This appears more like an attempt to hang onto his career than a sign of true remorse.

Rihanna may have forgiven Chris, but I’m not sure music fans will be so quick to move on.
