Amid speculation that he could be headed to jail following an assault charge in Washington, D.C., Chris Brown has entered an anger management rehab facility in Malibu, California.
Brown's attorney, Mark Geregos, dropped him off on Tuesday (October 29). Brown's mother and girlfriend Karrueche Tran accompanied the singer to the facility.
A statement was issued by Chris' reps Tuesday night.
"Chris Brown has elected to enter a rehab facility. His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point."
The super talented, but troubled superstar could be facing up to four years in jail if a Los Angeles judge overseeing his case determines he violated his probation stemming from his 2009 assault of Rihanna.
CNN reports that the L.A. district attorney is unlikely to cut Brown any slack and seek to have him locked up.
By putting his client into rehab Geragos could argue that Brown is getting help for his anger issues and deserves leniency.

Aye Verb and Dizaster went toe to toe at the recent "Battle of the Bay 6" event for King of the Dot. Peep game and let us know who you think got slayed.
One of the best known battle rappers in the world, Dizaster has begun to battle more frequently, and against bigger names every time. Since last year alone, the Los Angeles emcee has taken on some of the best around, including battles against Arsonal, Cortez, and T-Rex on the URL stage. The former King of the Dot champion continues to bring his unique blend of freestyling and animated performance to every showing, and remains one of the most unpredictable rappers in the game. Seen more often than not lately on the King of the Dot stage, Diz headlined back to back KOTD events, World Domination and now Battle of the Bay 6. Facing one of his biggest challenges to date, Dizaster clashes with Aye Verb in this first release from BOTB6.
An expert character assassin, Aye Verb has proven time and time again why his name will go down in battling history as one of the absolute best to ever step in the ring. Besides simply putting on classic performances, Verb was a key player when it came to putting St. Louis on the map for battle rap, and has held it down for his city ever since. With battles against some of the best competition available, such as Hollow Da Don, T-Rex, Arsonal, and Math Hoffa, Aye Verb is not one to back down from a challenge. Utilizing one of the most versatile flows, alongside a deadly pen game and penchant for performing, Verb disposes of his challengers with an efficiency and precision rarely seen. Making his debut in King of the Dot, Aye Verb takes on Dizaster in what was one of the best matches from the Battle of the Bay 6.

Mike Tyson has pretty much seen it all in his 47 years. He rose from the mean streets of Brooklyn, New York to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history. Over the years he's been in trouble with the law, seen the millions of dollars he earned in the ring dwindle down to nothing, battled a substance abuse problem and bounced back.
So who could offer Chris Brown better advice than Iron Mike?
Mike appeared on New York City radio station 95.5's Scott and Todd in the Morning show earlier today and spoke about Chris' problems and what could become of him if he doesn't clean up his act.
"I like and admire that little guy, but really what he needs to understand is eventually if you keep doing that stuff people will turn on you," Mike said. "The press will make the whole people turn on you and make you [look] bad. He's selling out arenas and they could make people turn. I know he might say, 'never me.' That's what I said. Then nobody wanted to have anything to do with me. If he keeps getting these violent cases. He's arrested for assaults here, assaults there. They're gonna put him somewhere where all they do is assault people."

Kanye West has never been afraid to express his opinions. In his latest interview with Michelle from Los Angeles' 97.1 AMP Radio, he opens up about everything from his Confederate flag merchandise to Miley Cyrus twerking.
On his lavish engagement to Kim Kardashian:
“I just thought of it. It seemed so all-American, I just love being American, you know, and I love you know, family… I feel so blessed. I feel God gave me exactly what I wanted, I have to do the right thing in God’s eyes. Just follow what God really wants me to do it will come ten fold by doing the right thing.”
On why what he does shouldn’t be considered “ranting”:
“The rant has a negative connotation. These are inspiration visionary breaks in pop culture every time I talk, a crack in the matrix. Nobody’s going to fire me tomorrow, I can say anything I want to say. Luckily I want to say positive things. I want to make my momma happy and do God’s work.”
On people’s reaction to his use of the Confederate flag in his Yeezus tour merch:
“React how you want. Any energy you got is good energy. The Confederate flag represented slavery, my abstract take on what I know about it, I wrote ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. Now what are you going to do?”
On why said merch is selling so well (he said it’s in “the Metallica numbers, the Bieber numbers”):
“People just look cool in it. They look nice. It’s colorless. It’s super hood, but it’s super white boy approved at the same time. That’s my style. I don’t look like a rapper. When I started, I wasn’t gangster enough. I’m getting married to Kim Kardashian and I never played in the NBA.”
On Obama’s fashion sense:
“Obama? Nobody’s looking at what Obama is wearing. I’m the No. 1 inspirational person in fashion.”
On why God is his No. 1 inspiration:
“God, he made our universe. You make it that far, you have to push for a more major scale [and] nothing’s more major than what God has created”
On Miley Cyrus:
“I just met her the day of the VMAs. I was just like, ‘Go, just go. Go for it. Do what you feel.’ From the DONDA perspective, I’d want her to twerk more. I think the whole performance should have been twerking.”
On his voice being his greatest power:
“I’m not a billionaire, I may not be the most attractive… but I right now, because of ‘New Slaves,’ because of the position I’ve always taken, I have the most powerful voice by a mile — by a mile. I have a trillion dollars’ worth of voice.”
On Swiftgate, again:
“That moment at the awards show: that was inaccurate. Whether it was their plan to give [Beyonce] the award at the end, we still haven’t seen a video as good [as 'Single Ladies'], five years later.”
On why people should listen to his ideas:
“I talk to these heads, older dudes that run companies [who say], ‘I only listen to people who are younger.’ You can support me, give me a check. But I have the ideas. No one older than me has a better idea than me because I’m the only 36-year-old me. I’m the most relevant voice on the planet Earth, post being the most hated. So don’t try to tell me anything. Help me — help me help other people.”
On why he’s never going to stop expressing himself:
“It’s just look, I’m going to stand up and influence me to the fullest. It’s a certain point of frustration, waiting for everyone to agree takes too long. I’m not going to sit inside a corporation for 20 years. The time is now to express myself.”
On the benefits of his feud with Jimmy Kimmel:
“People saw the BBC interview who wouldn’t have seen it otherwise. Anytime people can get a dosage of this espresso, this walking confident, God-fearing creative, I think it can bring light. I’d like to direct people to the light.”
On why we’re failing:
“We have the resources to have a human utopia… but mankind is too concerned getting the next Hollywood film to Netflix.”
On Watch the Throne 2:
“It could be a possibility. It’s not my focus in all honesty. Music is not my focus…I’ll make music. I’m not going to stop producing, need to do more… I’m focused on getting this backing [for DONDA]. I care about this far more than making a Watch the Throne 2.
On the lack of creativity in hip-hop:
“There’s a lack of creativity in every field. People are afraid because the powers control people. Only place people can be fully creative is Silicon Valley. There’s a lack of creativity in Hollywood, clothing, education system, on the globe period.”
On why he’s not afraid to speak his mind:
“No one can say what I’m saying or they’d lose their job. I have the voice and I’m going to scream as loud as I can. Only thing to happen to me is success.”
On why “fashion” isn’t the right term for what he does:
“I want to stop using the term ‘fashion’ because Eve made Adam bite an apple and since then it’s been illegal to be naked. I’m helping people follow the law in style. This isn’t about fashion. I’m creating new standards so you don’t have to think of it. I’ll do all the hard work. I’ll figure out where that collar goes and how many times you can wash that fabric…It’s not about fashion, it’s about life. I’ll work on this, you take your kids to the park.”
On splitting his time between work and family:
“I hang out with my girl and my daughter every day. No place I’d rather be. Not even when I’m thinking about things I’m creating in business, my biggest goal is to get home to family. I want to figure out a way to do my work and be my daughter’s soccer coach. I’m going to be a soccer coach and redesign their uniforms. I’ll redesign the mini-van.”
On being fearless:
“I’m fine to make a mistake. To put an Auto-Tuned album out that no one understands. I want to open up people’s minds. I want people to think more. Feel like it’s okay to create, okay to make mistakes in front of people…I want them to feel awesome is possible.”
On Tyler, The Creator:
“Artist. Innovator. A good mentor. He helped me out with some of the [Yeezus] merch. So talented, he understands things. Went to film school, I email him, like, ‘Could you teach me how to make videos?’ Did you see his amazing Mountain Dew commercial before it was banned? It’s the best thing in the last year. You know what should be banned? Stuff that’s whack, not stuff that’s controversial. The world is controversial, classist, racist — so what. You guys are selling soda, be glad someone that creative took a moment to help you do what you do.”
On the possibility of him working with the Gap:
“What would happen if I was able to design a collection that was backed by the Gap? It would be awesome, right?”
On the future of music:
“I love the Backstreet Boys — no knock to them — but there will never be another Backstreet Boys. Artists like Lorde, singer/songwriters are going to come up.”

The controversy surrounding Jay Z's involvement with Barneys shows no signs of slowing down. As we previously reported, the high end retailer has been accused of racially profiling it's black customers in New York City.
The store is under pressure and has hired a civil rights expert to help them review their policies and customer service procedures.
Jay Z, who has a holiday collection that will be sold at the store starting on November 20, is also facing public scrutiny and pressure to sever ties with the company.
The Roc Nation mogul issued a statement October 26th regarding the issue via his Life+Times website. Part of it reads:
I move and speak based on facts and not emotion. I haven’t made any comments because I am waiting on facts and the outcome of a meeting between community leaders and Barneys. Why am I being demonized, denounced and thrown on the cover of a newspaper for not speaking immediately? The negligent, erroneous reports and attacks on my character, intentions, and the spirit of this collaboration have forced me into a statement I didn’t want to make without the full facts. Making a decision prematurely to pull out of this project, wouldn’t hurt Barneys or Shawn Carter, but all the people that stand a chance at higher education. I have been working with my team ever since the situation was brought to my attention to get to the bottom of these incidents and at the same time find a solution that doesn’t harm all those that stand to benefit from this collaboration.
That response was considered to be weak by New York Daily News writer Denis Hamill, who believes Jay is letting his Brooklyn neighborhood where he grew up down by not taking a definitive stance against Barneys.
In a story published today, Hamill pointed out that Jay was quick to support the Trayvon Martin family before a verdict was reached in his killer George Zimmerman's trial. Hamill also reminded readers that the "Hard Knock Life" rapper led a boycott against Cristal by refusing to sell the champagne at his 40/40 clubs when he learned that one of it's officials had made a racist statement.
"His timid wait-and-see position on his affiliation with Barneys after revelations of a pattern of racially profiling black customers made Jay Z seem more interested in his Wall Street cred than his Brooklyn street cred," Hamill wrote.
"Now Jay Z wants to blame the press for demonizing him? And get all the facts from the corporate suits before taking a stand against racial profiling at Barneys? C’mon, man, that has about as much street cred as a parlor cat," Hamill continued. "Put your lighter in the air, Shawn Carter from Marcy, and see the light from the streets instead of from the suites."
Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg came to Jay Z's defense this morning on "The Realness."
"Jay Z is getting held to an unfair standard when it comes to this Barneys situation," Peter said. "He said he felt it would be hypocritical when talking about a situation that involves pre-judgement, for him to go ahead and pre-judge the situation that he really doesn't know the details to yet. That is a fair statement for someone that's in business with a company that's being accused of poor decision making and potential bias."
What's your opinion on this situation? Is Jay Z being unfairly judged? Sound off in the comment section below.
