Brown has a lengthy history of run-ins with the law. You may have heard that Brown beat his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, back in 2009. He was arrested and pleaded guilty to assault for the domestic violence offense. On June 14, 2012, Drake and his entourage were involved in a physical altercation with Brown at the WIP nightclub in New York City, and eight people were injured including San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker who had to have surgery to remove glass from his eye. In January 2013, Brown allegedly punched and threatened to shoot Frank Ocean over a parking space, outside a recording studio in West Hollywood. In July 2013, Brown’s probation was revoked after he was involved in an alleged hit-and-run in Los Angeles. On October 27, 2013, Brown was arrested for felony assault in Washington, D.C. and broke a man’s nose for jumping into a photo with two women.
On October 30, 2013, Brown voluntarily entered rehab. The singer was expected to stay in the facility for 3 months, but less than a month later Brown was kicked out of the facility for “breaking program rules by acting violently.”
In February of 2015, Brown was denied entry to Canada due to his criminal history and was forced to cancel part of his tour.
