Chris Brown is in a bad way lately. The singer is in The Philippines and can not leave. He has been barred from leaving while a dispute with concert promoters is settled. The promoters say that Brown accepted money to perform there at a New Years Eve concert, but did not. When Brown swung through the Philippines this week, stopping for a concert and hoping to head on to Hong Kong for another, he found himself stuck.

Last week was no better. Chris Brown came home to find his house had been broken into and his aunt locked in a closet.

All this seems to have taken its toll on Chris Brown, who still has not shaken the stigma attached to his name for beating up Rihanna.

Nothing beats a girl with a beautiful voice. Well except Chris Brown.

Now it appears that Chris Brown is turning to God to help him in his time of need. In an Instagram post yesterday, Brown went on at length about his tribulations.

When u tired of the fucking devil ruining your life and u hear God speak for the first time. No one knows what I deal with on a day to day. The average man wouldn’t hesitate to blow his fucking brains out but that’s the cowards way out… Most won’t understand the genius and beauty in change and learning and the people who have devilish intentions will win in the short term. My soul will always be pure of heart. What’s on the surface always looks like one big party but inside there is a little boy looking for help and guidance. People say “be a man”. Yeah, that’s right but it doesn’t take away any pain you really go through. I just wanna stay out the way and do music. Most importantly and great father. I don’t have any more patience for anything that will cause me to self destruct!!
