Chris Brown says his community service for domestic violence is 'a b***h'

The 'Fine China' hitmaker, who was sentenced to an extra 1,000 hours of community service in August after being accused of submitting bogus reports for the 1,440 hours he was originally ordered to complete for beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, believes he has been unfairly treated by the courts.

Chris Brown says his community service for domestic violence is 'a b***h'

The 'Fine China' hitmaker, who was sentenced to an extra 1,000 hours of community service in August after being accused of submitting bogus reports for the 1,440 hours he was originally ordered to complete for beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, believes he has been unfairly treated by the courts.

He said: "Community service, that s**t is a b***h. I'll be honest - and you can quote me on that - that is a motherf****r there. For me, I think it's more of a power trip for the DA (District Attorney). I can speak freely now, because I don't really care what they say about it, but as far as, like, the 1,000 extra hours they gave me, that's totally fricking bananas."

The 24-year-old star also told The Guardian newspaper that "the Rihanna incident" was "probably the biggest wake-up call for me. I had to stop acting like a little teenager, a crazy, wild young guy."

He added: "I learned from it, and it was almost like... I wouldn't say it happened for a reason, but it was something to trigger my mind to be more of a mature adult. To handle myself in situations, don't throw tantrums, don't be a baby about it."

The 'Turn Up The Music' singer says his court-ordered 52-week anger management programme was beneficial but "sexist."

Chris believes that he will get his career back on track and is still very ambitious.

He said: "I'm going to come back, I know the music that I'm doing, how hard I work, is not just for nothing."

He added: "I don't want to be rich, I want to be wealthy. There's a difference, you know? I'm rich, but I'm not in the $200m mark."
