change of heart and won't press
criminal charges against Chris Brown
for attacking him in a West
Hollywood recording studio parking
lot last Sunday, according to The L.A.
Times yesterday. The fight
apparently broke out over a parking
spot and quickly grew into a six man
brawl. That evening, Frank Ocean
tweeted, "got jumped by chris and a
couple guys.…". On Monday, sheriff's
spokesman Steve Whitmore
indicated Chris Brown had been
named as a suspect in a battery
report, and that Ocean was "desirous
of prosecution".
Frank Ocean posted a brief message
to his Tumblr account Saturday that
said, "As a child I thought if someone
jumped me it would result in me
murdering or mutilating a man. But
as a man I am not a killer.
"I'll choose sanity. No criminal
charges. No civil lawsuit.
Forgiveness, albeit difficult, is
wisdom. peace, albeit trite, is what I
want in my short life. Peace", he
wrote.
TMZ reported just after the incident
that Chris Brown threw the first
punch at Frank Ocean after Frank
disrespected Brown by refusing to
shake his hand. The fight broke out
in the parking lot of the Westlake
Recording Studios in L.A.
Sunday
according to witnesses on the scene.
The fight quickly moved to the lobby
of the studio where sources say the
brawling posses demolished the
place. "They managed to break
almost everything in the room and
scare all of the staff members
working", said a witness.
A receptionist called 911, and Chris
took off. Frank waited for the cops,
and initial reports were that the 25
year-old singer was intent on
pressing charges against 23 year-old
Chris Brown.
Apparently the parking situation at
the recording studio is a serious
hierarchy, with the bigger artists
taking the better spots. We're told
Chris clearly felt he deserved the top
spot, and Frank disrespected him by
taking it for himself.
The two R&B artists are both up for
Grammy Awards on Feb. 10, where
Frank Ocean is also set to perform.
