## Transcript

[ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ MUSIC ] Two years ago this artist was just another kid in high school Now two years later he is one of the biggest stars in the world .

>> I wanna be a the pinnacle like higher point to where is like a legend most [ SOUND ] I just remember seeing this young kid like he was about to take over the world in so many ways

>> And I realize my God He's truly gifted. He's talented man in a way that we haven't seen in a long long time. His fame came instant. It came all at once. I knew he was gonna be the next superstar the day I met him. He definitely has his kind of finger on the post of the sound. He keeps giving us the values. [ SOUND ] [ APPLAUSE ] The winner is, Chris Brown. I lost weight, I just want to say thank the fans, I love you with all my heart. He grew up so fast. He didn't really get to have a childhood or a teenage life, you know of a normal person. It's not really something that even myself really could comprehend at the time.

I mean that's dangerous. What's all these dating rumors Chris? To see Rihanna and Chris when they first started dating, it was magical. Like real life rockstars It was like a fairy tale. [ LAUGH ] And those two, they were kind of inseparable. I went from being on top of the world, number one songs, and being kind of like America's sweetheart to being public enemy number one. [ INAUDIBLE ] According to sources, the alleged- Grammy award nominee has just posted bail on criminal threat charges. But it is the first First town. I coud just anything. He made that mistake because he needed help. Yeah, that was his girl.

Felt like a **** monster. That was the worst day of my life and part of his life. Felt like I was going to lose my child. It is important to walk away. Chris brown in jail. Jail this morning. Singer Frank Ocean. Paula this is a serious charge. I had to think about suicide and everything else. I wasn't sleeping, I barely ate. I just was getting high. The more light we get the more we have to hide our demons. If you truly do love Chris Brown then you felt everything that has gone on with him. And there has been speculation already by some that this really will end Chris Brown's career. If there was ever a doubt in your mind Chris Brown was done.

He was finished. I wouldn't bet on it. [ MUSIC ] [ SOUND ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
