Chris Brown says he's 'tired' of people bringing up his assault on Rihanna, calling it a 'mistake' he made at 17

• Chris Brown shared an Instagram rant complaining about people bringing up his assault on Rihanna.
• He was charged with felony assault after attacking Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, in 2009.

Chris Brown says he's "tired" of people who still criticize him for assaulting Rihanna and called the violent incident a "mistake" he made when he was 17.

The singer, 33, took to his Instagram stories on Friday to share a lengthy rant against those he said were continuing the "narrative" that he abused Rihanna in 2009.

He was referring to an incident in February that year in which he and Rihanna, who were a couple at the time, got into an argument. He assaulted her, and she was hospitalized, according to People Magazine.

Brown was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats. He later pleaded guilty in court to a felony, which meant he avoided a prison sentence, The Guardian reported. He was given five years of supervised probation and six months of community labor.

Brown's latest comments may be linked to the mixed reactions since Chloe Bailey announced he was featured on a new song from her debut album "In Pieces," set to be released in March. According to The Breakfast Club radio show, some fans were furious at Bailey's decision to work with Brown.

On Instagram, Brown took aim at those critical of his past: "If yall still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17 year old please kiss my whole entire ass."

"I'm so tired of yall running wit this narrative," Brown continued. In a subsequent story, the "Forever" singer asked where the "cancel culture" was for white celebrities who he said have dated underage women and carried out violent acts.

"No more fake love from me," he added. "Stay out of my way or get run over."

It's not the first time in recent weeks that Brown and Rihanna's past has resurfaced. During the Fenty founder's Super Bowl performance, Brown posted an Instagram story with the words "Go Girl" next to a heart and prayer emoji, seemingly in support of her.

Rihanna, 34, announced she was pregnant with her second child with A$AP Rocky during the performance.

Representatives for Brown did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
