Brown's dad: 'Two sides to every story'

Chris Brown's father has reportedly revealed that his son is "very remorseful" and is taking time to reflect on his "stumble".

However, Clinton Brown cautioned fans that there are always "two sides to every story", following the rapper's arrest last week on suspicion of assaulting Rihanna.

Police investigations are ongoing into the reported altercation, which lead to both artists pulling out of planned Grammy performances.

The 44-year-old told People that his 19-year-old son was "reflecting on this situation" and would learn from it.

"He's very remorseful. He's very concerned about the situation and he wants to make sure that [Rihanna's] okay," he said. "This is unfortunate, this stumble, this situation. Hopefully, he will get past it. We all have our shortcomings. We all trip."

The corrections officer added: "If you are on his side, you are on his side. Just because someone trips, if you are truly a fan, you are not going to demonise him instantaneously. He will continue to be a good person. He loves people. And like most of us, most humans, things will occur."
