Chris Brown
Chris Brown was once R&B’s favorite young star, a cute kid with a clean record, exuberant attitude and bright future. But that all changed in February 2009, when Brown assaulted his then-girlfriend, pop star Rihanna, right before the Grammy Awards. Brown subsequently plead guilty to assault charges and watched his career nearly crumble during the public backlash. However, the determined performer continued to work toward redemption and, despite some setbacks, has, once again, won over fans across the globe.
