| Chris Brown 'Sorry And Saddened ... Over What Transpired' Posted: 15 Feb 2009 02:40 AM PST Singer does not directly address alleged altercation with Rihanna in statement.
Chris Brown issued a statement on Sunday (February 15), a week after his alleged altercation with singer Rihanna. "Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired," the statement reads. "I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. "Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong," the statement continues. "While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."
The statement did not directly address the alleged altercation. Brown was arrested February 8 on suspicion of making criminal threats, released on $50,000 bail and given a March 5 court date. Brown's biological father and sister, as well as Rihanna's father, have spoken out in the wake of the incident. Jay-Z spoke with reporters on Saturday about it as well. Rihanna's father said the singer is resting with friends in Barbados. Brown's father said he is currently at "home," presumably in Virginia.

| Jay-Z Says, 'We All Should Support Rihanna' Posted: 15 Feb 2009 08:55 AM PST MC, who signed Rihanna to Def Jam Records, comments on singer's alleged altercation with Chris Brown.
Jay-Z spoke out this weekend about the alleged altercation between Chris Brown and Rihanna. "It's not a sound bite, this is a real situation," Jay told reporters in Arizona. "If you can't have compassion for others ... just imagine it being your sister or your mom or someone like that, then think about how you should talk about that.
"I just think we all should just support her," he continued. "She's going through a tough time. You gotta realize she's a young girl, as well. She's very young." The rapper was formerly president and CEO of Island Def Jam Records, Rihanna's label, and presided over her signing and early career. Rihanna, Young Jeezy, Ne-Yo and Rick Ross were among the artists who thrived during Jay's stint as an executive at the label, which ended late in 2007. Jay was in Arizona for his third annual "Two Kings" dinner, which he co-hosts with LeBron James, as part of the NBA All-Star Weekend. The event was attended by Kobe Bryant, Young Jeezy, Chris Tucker, Spike Lee, Michael Strahan, Grant Hill, Tamia and others.
