CHRIS Brown has opened up about his relationship with Rihanna, saying he can't help it if people don't like him.

In an interview with the US Today show to promote his upcoming album X , the singer said his infamous 2009 conviction for assaulting singer Rihanna had left him humbled, but insisted he was a new man after a year of domestic violence conselling.

"I’ve been humbled by the whole experience," Brown said of the public outcry.

"From me losing everything, you know, to me having to regain public opinion or whatever it is - but most importantly, you know, knowing that what I did was totally wrong and having to kind of deal with myself and kind of forgive myself in the same breath and being able to apologise to, you know, Rihanna and be that man…who is a man, you know?"

However, Brown admitted plenty of cynics do not believe his claims to have changed for good.

"I think everybody is entitled to their opinion," he said. "You know, I have to just take it one day at a time. I can’t make everybody like me."

The R&B star also confirmed he is back together with Rihanna, saying "everything’s good, we’re fine."

"I think it’s just me proving myself once again,” he said of public speculation about their relationship.

"Knowing that what I did was wrong, and never doing it again. So as far as me and (Rihanna) are concerned, she knows my heart, and I know her heart. So I’m not really focused on the negative."
