In an interview with AOL’s PopEater.com on Tuesday, Beat Down Chris Brown talked about his May 15 benefit concert in Richmond and said it “hurts” that the motives behind the event are questioned. The singer, who is currently serving five years probation related to the February 8, 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna, says all he wants to do is lend his support to his hometown and the earthquake-ravaged island of Haiti with the upcoming charity concert.
The controversial crooner , who turns 21 on tomorrow, told the site that his efforts to raise funds for the community of Richmond, Virginia, and those affected by the earthquake in Haiti is “not for PR or press.”
“When it’s a question of, ‘Oh, is he doing this to gain fans or get his image back?’ When you do something genuinely from your heart, it’s not for PR or press. If that was the case, I’d try to get Obama or somebody,” he laments.
“It hurts because it’s from my heart and I’m from Virginia and want to help my community out. I’m always here, and I always want to help out. Even with the Haiti stuff I’m doing… I wanted to do my own so that some of the proceeds would benefit them.”
Over the weekend, Chris performed a shaky rendition of The National Anthem before the Shane Mosley/Floyd Mayweather Jr. boxing match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, causing some fans to question whether or not a boxing match was an appropriate venue for the singer to perform.
