Chris Brown not only blames his rage for his assault on his former girlfriend Rihanna, he also mentions his youth.

The 20-year-old talks about the incident to MTV, saying, "Just anger. Yeah, anger. Young people, we do before we think."

Brown is currently serving five year's probation after pleading guilty for the attack, and was also given six month's community labour and domestic violence counselling.

Rihanna has given interviews recently on ABC's 20/20 show in which she details the brutal nature of Brown's attack, including how he bit her.

Brown issued a statement in response to her interviews, saying, "While I respect Rihanna's right to discuss the specific events of February 8th, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us."
