Chris Brown is in trouble yet again.

Award-winning American popstar Chris Brown, 26, has been barred from leaving the Phillipines because of a contract dispute gone wrong, the official Philippines News Agency reported Wednesday.

Brown was prevented from leaving the country just hours before he was supposed to arrive in Hong Kong to perform at another concert.

According to the Agency, an order had been issued by the Philippine Department of Justice Tuesday night to stop Brown from leaving the country.

He performed that night as originally planned, but the order was put in place in an attempt to get Brown to pay back money he supposedly owed to a religious group in the country for not showing up to a performance in 2014.

Reports showed the chart-topping singer said that he couldn't attend the performance because he'd lost his passport.

Brown's had tons of success in his career, including one Grammy, and five Billboard music awards, but has also had his fair share of trouble.

Most notably, in 2009 Brown assaulted his then girlfriend music mogul Rihanna inside a rented Lamborghini on the day preceeding the Grammy awards. Brown pleaded guilty later that year to one felony assault count, was put on five years of probation, ordered to serve 180 days of labor-oriented service, and forced to take a yearlong class on domestic violence.

Then in 2012, the media caught wind of Brown having an altercation with hip-hop artist Drake an a nightclub.

The following year Brown again found trouble as he was accused of committing a hit-and-run in Los Angeles; a woman said he shoved her at a night club in Anaheim - leading to an assault and battery claim, and he was accused of felony assault out side of a hotel in Washington.

Brown entered rehab in 2o13, but was removed from the facility after smashing in his mother's car window during a family session, according to his probation officer. He returned to rehab, but left in 2014.

Brown had a concert scheduled for later this week in Indonesia, but according to his Twitter account is has been cancelled due to 'safety concerns.'

Business Insider has reached out to Brown for comment, and will update the post if/ when he responds.
