Chris Brown has spoken out about his alleged attack on ex-girlfriend Rihanna to assure fans he's "not a monster".

The singer is facing charges of felony assault and making criminal threats in relation to his well-publicised altercation with Rihanna in Los Angeles on February 8, which reportedly left his ex-girlfriend battered and bruised.

Brown is fighting to clear his name after pleading not guilty to the accusations in April - and now he's taken to the web to address the situation and reveal his plans for a pop comeback.

In a video post on YouTube, Brown says, "I just wanna say what up 'cause I ain't (sic) been out there, but a new album's gonna be coming soon, called Graffiti... I'm about to drop a single this summer for y'all, we ain't (sic) going nowhere.

"Everybody that's been haters, they always been haters. All my real fans, I love y'all, I ain't (sic) a monster."
