Rapper Chris Brown hates community service and feels he has been unfairly treated by the courts.
The 24-year-old was sentenced to an extra 1,000 hours of community service in August after being accused of submitting bogus reports for the 1,440 hours he was originally ordered to complete for beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
"Community service, that s**t is a b***h. I'll be honest - and you can quote me on that - that is a mother f****r there. For me, I think it's more of a power trip for the DA (District Attorney)," contactmusic.com quoted Brown as saying.
"I can speak freely now, because I don't really care what they say about it, but as far as, like, the 1,000 extra hours they gave me, that's totally fricking bananas," he added.
He also said that "the Rihanna incident" was probably the biggest "wake-up call" for him.
"I learned from it, and it was almost like... I wouldn't say it happened for a reason, but it was something to trigger my mind to be more of a mature adult. To handle myself in situations, don't throw tantrums, don't be a baby about it," Brown told The Guardian newspaper.
