Chris Brown : “This Is How I Made It” You’re always gonna know me for situations and life obstacles.

After taking a year off from doing interviews and magazine features,
it seems as though Chris is doing some revamping when it comes to his
image and is ready to finally speak out and tell his story.

He was spotted on the set of an XXL cover shoot recently getting
styled up by Ugo Mozie. His ex-girlfriend Karrueche was also spotted
on set while assisting the style team with pulling together Chris'
various looks.

This past weekend, Chris was featured on MTV's "This Is How I Made It"
series, where he dished on his modest childhood as a choir boy in a
small town of Virgina as well as his rise to superstardom.

He also spoke on the Rihanna drama and how it changed the public's
perception of him completely. While speaking on how much it meant for
him to win his first Grammy, he said:

You're always gonna know me for situations and life obstacles. To have
that [Grammy] achievement and to go through people's whole opinions of
me changing of me — you know.

Having to get personal opinion back and having to gain personal
success back. It's not all the way back. It's one of my most humbling
experiences. I can't hate people for making a judgement on me or
making a decision of liking me or not liking me.

All I can do is try to be better as a person and I'm good with
knowing that everything isn't always gonna be perfect.

During the special, he also dropped these gems of inspiration:

I think people get stuck in what you can't do. Life is what you make
it. Just because somebody says it's this, doesn't mean it's that. Do
what you have to do. That kind of attitude shaped me to be the artist
that I am.

My story, my life, my legacy can hopefully show [people] that once
you're down, that doesn't mean that you're down forever.

You never let up.

WILLIAMS SISTERS EXPECTED IN LAGOS TODAY

Venus and Serena Williams – tennis' most successful sisters – are
expected in Nigeria today, for a four day tour of Lagos, the nation's
commercial capital.

The ladies are coming under the aegis of Breaking the Mould (BTM), an
"African Women's engagement initiative that will use national and
international women 'Mould Breakers' to showcase how women have
achieved greatness across various portfolios."

The tour which is expected to come to a close on November 2, will see
Venus, 32, and her younger sibling, Serena, 31, addressing a press
conference, attending a gala dinner, running a tennis clinic and
finally facing off in an exhibition match.

A look at the itinerary of the sisters indicate they would attend a
press conference tomorrow at the Ikoyi Club, Lagos, where they would
also host a special tennis clinic for kids between the ages of 8 and
14.

On Thursday, the multiple tennis grand slam winners will dazzle at a
glamorous gala night put together in their honour at the Federal
Palace Hotel before appearing in an exhibition match at the Lagos Lawn
Tennis Club on November 2.

Presently rated 24 and 3 respectively, by the Women Tennis Association
(WTA) and Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), it is expected
that their visit to Lagos, Nigeria, will give tennis the much needed
boost it deserves.
