Singer Chris Brown is likely to star in his own reality TV show.

Black Entertainment Television (BET) is said to be eager to sign a deal with Brown, who was released from jail earlier this month, as they want to create a series based on his life after prison and his battle to stay out of trouble, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"BET has made it clear to several production companies the network would absolutely air a Chris Brown reality series, chronicling his life after jail," said a source.

The US network is said to have recently held a focus group here to gauge the reaction of prospective viewers.

The majority of the participants said they would tune in to the show, just to watch the 25-year-old struggle.

Brown was released from jail June 2 after serving 108 days for violating his probation, which stemmed from his assault on his then girlfriend and singer Rihanna in 2009.

The "Yeah 3x" hitmaker, who was sent back to jail after being thrown out of court-ordered rehab in March, is determined to stay on the right track and only take the medication prescribed for his bipolar disorder.
