WASHINGTON (AP) - Akon says he'd work with Chris Brown despite
the 19-year-old's legal troubles and public image problem.
Akon says he doesn't condone domestic violence. But he also says
Chris Brown is human and people make mistakes, and he doesn't think
Brown's career should be on hold because of it. He says Brown will
learn from his experience and hopefully treat the next woman
differently.
Brown is charged with two felonies for allegedly beating
girlfriend Rihanna. Since the attack, Brown has seen his
endorsement deals fade away and some radio stations have stopped
playing his music.
