Chris Brown has posted a video tribute to former girlfriend Rihanna on his Twitter page.

The singer linked to the video with the message: “I'M SORRY YALL. JUST HAD TO POST IT.”

He added: “FOR THE FELLAS: showing emotion doesn't make u weak... BEING HONEST MAKES U STRONG.”

The video montage shows footage of the former couple together and is set to Lee Carr's ballad 'The Way We Used To Be'.

Brown split with Rihanna in February after he attacked her during an altercation in Los Angeles.

The US R&B star pleaded guilty in June to assaulting the singer and was given five years' probation.

In an interview on US radio station Hot 97 last week, Brown again expressed his sadness over the incident in February.

He said: “People make mistakes all the time. I'm learning from my mistakes everyday and I regret it every second."

The singer, who is currently preparing to launch his comeback with a new album, also revealed that Will Smith had offered him advice after the attack.
