Chris Brown has made a video apology to Rihanna.
The R&B singer issued the message on his official website.
He has pleaded for forgiveness from his fans for what he says is "inexcusable behaviour."
Next month Chris will be sentenced to 180 days of community service for the assault incident which took place on the 8th February this year.
Looking at the camera, dressed in a red top, Chris said: "I wish I had the chance to live those few moments again, but unfortunately I can't.
"I'm not going to sit here and make any excuses. What I did was inexcusable. I have told Rihanna countless times, and I'm telling you today, that I am truly, truly sorry that I wasn't able to handle the situation differently and better.
"As many of you know, I grew up in a home where there was domestic violence, and I saw first-hand what uncontrolled rage could do. I have sought and I am continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again. What I did was unacceptable, 100 percent.
"I can only ask and pray that you forgive me, please."
Chris escaped a jail sentence after striking a deal with prosecutors over the assault, which happened when he and Rihanna were driving home from a pre-Grammy Awards party.
