  • Chris Brown Reunites with VIBE to Talk ‘Royalty,’ His Daughter & Redemption

    "Three weeks ago, Chris Brown didn't exactly f**k with VIBE." This is how VIBE magazine started its cover story on Brown—a story that's long overdue, since the two parties haven't sat down for an interview since 2009.

But six years later, it seems as though the singer/entertainer is ready to let bygones be bygones-another sign of the maturity that Brown seems to wear now like a comfortable cloak that he needed to grow into. It's that maturity that seemed to be evident in this interview that had Brown talking about his 1-year-old baby girl, Royalty, what he feels about being called a role model and coming back from the edge after years as the talented black sheep of the music industry.
