Chris Brown is number 1! The R&B singer is rejoicing as his fifth studio album “Fortune” landed at no 1 on the Billboard charts in the US and in several other countries including UK and Netherlands.
Brown is being investigated by the city of Los Angeles because of confusion surrounding community service hours for the altercation he had with ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Judge Patricia Schnegg ordered an audit of Brown’s community service hours after Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray complained of a lack of clarity in Brown’s report.
The order was announced at a progress hearing for Brown. The “Look At Me Now” singer was not present for the hearing but his lawyer Pat Harris attended on his behalf. Harris did not object to the request.
Brown was ordered to do 180 days of community service as part of his punishment for assaulting Rihanna. According to Murray, the number of service hours and where he completed the service were unclear. Murray was also suspicious because he supposedly performed his hours in Virginia, where he is originally from, instead in Los Angeles, where the beating took place. In addition to the community service, he got 5 years of probation, a year of domestic violence counseling and a restraining order barring him from contact with Rihanna.
It is unclear what will happen if the report shows Brown didn’t effectively complete his service.
