R&B hitmaker Chris Brown has opened up about his reconciled relationship with former lover Rihanna and admitted that while they're not back together, they are working on getting back to a good place.

During an interview with Big Boy on L.A.’s Power 106, the 'Don't Wake Me Up' singer explained that because he has history with Rihanna she'll always have a place in his heart although right now they're focusing on rebuilding that trust they once shared:

"It’s just me being honest with myself,” said Brown, referring to the video he uploaded to YouTube detailing his love triangle with Rihanna and Karrueche Tran. “Me and [Rihanna] have history and me and her definitely gonna be best of friends, and we’re working on our friendship now.”

He added that after the events of '09, which saw him arrested for domestic assault on his superstar ex-girlfriend, he has been actively trying to better himself because people won't forget what happened and he wants to make it right again:

“I think everyone feels attached to this old situation. It’s still a very detrimental situation ’cause it’s stuff that we deal with today and that’s why I’m doing the Jenesse Center that shows that domestic violence is not OK. But as far as our personal life, I think people gotta give it a chance, not even give it a chance, shut the hell up. At the end of the day, whatever opinion they have ain’t gonna change nothing I’m doing.”
