Chris Brown says he’s a “different man” than the guy who severely battered girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. The R&B singer said on NBC’s Today show that he’s been “humbled by the whole experience,” and was forced to look at his anger. “Knowing that what I did was totally wrong and having to kind of deal with myself and kind of forgive myself in the same breath and being able to apologize to, you know, Rihanna….” When asked by interviewer Matt Lauer how his recent altercations with singers Frank Ocean and Drake made him a “different man,” Brown said he was engaged in a “learning process.” “I can’t make everybody like me,’’ he said.
