Chris Brown paid the ultimate price for his part in a public fight with Rihanna. The two, who were physically abusive, fought in public before the Grammys in 2009. In the end, Rihanna was painted as a victim and Brown, the bully.

Four years deep in the game, Brown had been compared to a young Michael Jackson. But, after the images went public, he was compared to another Brown, Bobby. Chris Brown soon found himself unable to buy a hit.

Many of the same radio stations and websites who frequently played his music and supported him had shunned him. The same people who had given him praise were now making him the butt of several jokes. Even Walmart refused to promote his music, often hiding it in the CD section. For Chris Brown, this was all too much, so he went to the mixtape scene.

During the summer of 2010, Brown released an In My Zone mixtape and it featured the "Dueces" single, which allowed Chris Brown to vent. On the song, Brown sings of how his relationship with some woman is over. While no name is mentioned, it is obvious he was singing about Rihanna. Soon, the song gained radio play and hit the top of the charts. Chris Brown had regained his career and he started working on his fourth studio album, F.A.M.E.

With his career back on track, Chris Brown appealed to Los Angeles County to have his restraining order against him revised. Rihanna quickly agreed, but made it clear she had no interest in getting back with her ex-boyfriend. Upon discovering her comments, Chris Brown said he was done with that part of his life and he did not want to be arrested each time he and Rihanna were in the same building. The incident was a part of his life he wants to put in the past.

Brown had done just that when more images leaked to the internet of how Rihanna looked after the fight took place. Exactly two years after the incident and Chris Brown is made to look like the bad guy, once again. This time, however, Brown is not going to go down without a fight. Brown tweeted how ironic it was for 'somebody' to release these images right when he is trying to release his album. He went on to say the devil is busy, but not busy enough to keep him from doing what he is destined to do.
