Justin Bieber on Chris Brown: "People should focus on his music"

Justin Bieber has defended Chris Brown and praised his talent.

The R&B man has often been under the spotlight for his personal behaviour ever since he was sentenced for assaulting then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.

Brown has also allegedly been involved in a recent fight with Frank Ocean over a parking space in Los Angeles.

Speaking to Billboard, Justin Bieber said that people should avoid the media circus surrounding the singer and concentrate on his music instead. The Canadian said:

"I'm a fan [of Chris Brown]. His music is really good. That's what they should focus on: the music."

As previously reported, Bieber also told Billboard that he is having a "blast" working in music for a living.

He said: "I'm 18. I have a great team around me. I have great friends. We have a blast. They keep me occupied and my mind off of the negative things."
