Chris Brown made the worst of his appearance on ABC's Good Morning America today (March 22).
Brown was there to promote the release of his new album 'F.A.M.E.'. He grew agitated when host Robin Roberts asked several questions about his assault of ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
"I've been focusing on this album. I think this album is what I want people to hear and get into and not the stuff that happened two years ago," Chris told her
It did seem like Chris was blindsided by the questions, but according to TMZ he approved them all prior to the interview.
There was obviously a misunderstanding because off camera Brown reportedly let out a loud scream before tearing up his dressing room, even breaking a window before storming out of ABC's Manhattan studio.

Much like a kid who finally gets tired of being bullied in school Yung Berg has decided that enough is enough.
Unlike the school kid who looks for a fight in order to clear his lane. Berg is taker a quiter, safer route in dealing with the thugs that have relieved him of a few jewelry pieces. Berg has decided to ditch the fancy jewels and focusing on music.
If he's not wearing any jewels he won't get robbed right? We can only hope.
Berg has been robbed of a Transformers chain, a Batman chain and been pistol whipped while getting jacked.
"On some real sh*t back in the day when I was buying those big ass chains and sh*t, I felt like that was a part of me being Yung Berg. But me growing up and being Christian, being Mr. Ward, and who I really I am, I toned down. I'm not going to be with the big gaudy chains because people would look and they would say "Well, this n*gga still ain't learn his lesson." I learned my lesson. I'm going to have jewelry but it's going to be more upscale and common. It's not going to be catching just the n*gga eye," Berg recently told Vibe.
Regardless of how anyone else might look at it, Burg is happy with his career right now. He just dropped a mixtape 'Mr Ward' and is working on an album under Bryant Mckinnie's B Major Music Group

Ever since the classic Notorious B.I.G. album "Ready To Die" dropped 17 years ago people have wondered who the chubby baby pictured on the cover was.
People can stop wondering now that Keithroy Yearwood, an 18-year old high school senior from the Bronx revealed it's him in the pic.
Yearwood says he realized it was him at around the age of 8.
"The first time I saw my picture somewhere was Times Square, in the big area where the big pictures go," he he told The Boombox. "To this day, I don't know why they picked me. I still think it's the afro."
His family only took home $150.00 for the 2 hour shoot, but Yearwood will always be remembered now as the kid on the cover of B.I.G.'s 1st album.
"I just want people to know that's me," Yearwood told the New York Daily News. "The truth is finally coming out."
