Akon would work with Chris Brown

Akon has confirmed that he would be willing to work with Chris Brown in the future.

The R&B star and record producer insisted that he has no desire to boycott Brown following the recent controversy surrounding his alleged assault on girlfriend Rihanna.

"I wouldn't take anybody's personal issues or problems - I won't hold them accountable for that when it comes to work," he told The AP. "I think it's two separate things."

Akon also claimed that it would be unfair for the singer's career to suffer because of the incident, which took place in Los Angeles on February 8.

"At the end of the day, what Rihanna and Chris went through is nothing different than what couples go through every day," he continued. "They have problems, they go through issues, and some of them, of course, expand to domestic violence which I don't in any way condone.

"But, you know, sometimes you really can't control it and some people just need to seek help and figure out ways to deal with their emotions and how they deal with issues and certain things."

Rihanna reportedly agreed to reunite with Brown less than three weeks after the alleged altercation.
