Chris Brown Says He & Rihanna’s Relationship Will Stop Being Analyzed “When We’re Not Relevant”

For the publication’s latest cover story, Billboard nabbed the first formal post-jail interview with polarizing pop force Chris Brown. The chat happened in mid-August, a couple weeks before hip hop mogul Suge Knight and others were reportedly shot at Brown’s pre-MTV Video Music Awards party (is Breezy a magnet for utter darkness or what?), but despite that, he later issued a statement on the matter to the magazine.

“I realize that what I do for a living opens my life to public scrutiny and that I have a responsibility to everyone because of that exposure,” Brown stated. “I can say that I am only human and I have made mistakes. I can say that I try to live my life in the most true, honest way that I can. I am not perfect, no one is.”

Below, see his comments another controversial topic that seems destined to follow Breezy around for a long time: Rihanna.

When asked by Billboard if he foresees a day when he and Rihanna’s past relationship(s) and the violence that halted it in 2009 won’t be brought up “at all,” Brown says the following:

When we’re not relevant anymore, that might be the case. As long as you’re doing something good, people will always bring up old stuff or negative stuff because they don’t want you to surpass a certain level or elevate. But as long as you have your head on straight, it shouldn’t matter what people want to say.

And, oh, right — Breezy has a new album coming out on September 16 called X. Anyone buying?
