"With other artists, 30 things will come up and one will stick. With me, everything sticks," Brown says. "It was like a green room backstage, he comes says what's up to everybody.

"It's just me being honest with myself. Me and [Rihanna] have history," Brown admitted. "Me and her will always be the best of friends and we are working on our friendship now as far as everything goes."
The singer explained his need to open up about his personal life in most recent months, saying that he feels his experiences could possibly help others.
"It's just me being honest with myself. Me and [Rihanna] have history. Me and her will always be the best of friends and we are working on our friendship now as far as everything goes," Brown told the radio show. "I know God does not give us too much to handle, that we can't handle.
