Chris Brown claims 'Rihanna assault incident' was 'biggest wake-up call' of life

Chris Brown has claimed that his 2009 assault on former girlfriend and singer Rihanna was probably the biggest wake-up call of his life.

The 24-year-old singer told a UK publication that it made him realise that he had to stop acting like a little teenager, a crazy, wild young guy, News.com.au reported.

The ‘With You’ hit maker asserted that he has learned a lot from the incident, which led to a sentence of six months community labour and five years probation.

Brown said that the incident triggered his mind to be more mature, to handle himself in situations, to avoid throwing tantrums and stop being a baby.
