'You Just Gotta Keep Your Head Down': Chris Brown Says He Isn't Scared Of Gun Threat From Self-Proclaimed Gang Member

He’s not usually the type to pass up the opportunity for an argument as his past public fighting experience suggests.

But Chris Brown insists a recent veiled threat from a self-proclaimed gang member has not scared him.

The singer addressed a conflict out a Hollywood nightclub earlier in the week, saying he is not worried about what a man, claiming to be part of Los Angeles gang the Crips, shouted at him.

While leaving an art studio on Friday, he told the media about the incident:  ‘It's L.A. brother. You just gotta keep your head down and keep walking.’

Chris was shrugging off a clash where an unnamed man asked him if his Lamborghini car was bulletproof in an expletive-filled rant after partying at the Playhouse venue on Wednesday.

The man apparently went very near to the vehicle and inquired: ‘Yo, scary-a** Chris, is that motherf****r bulletproof?!

‘I ain't never seen a n***er jump in a car that fast, n***er.’

Although Chris eventually drove away from the scene, he did chime back with equally offensive language and asked if the gang member himself is bulletproof.

The man replied, ‘I'm a crip n***er, hell yeah, I'm bulletproof!’

The following evening Chris put on a brave face to attend the Valentine’s Day launch of British fashion retailer Topshop at the Grove shopping centre in West Hollywood.

 

Meanwhile, Chris is apparently ‘hurt’ after hearing his on/off girlfriend Rihanna was injured by a fan in London.

The singer was relieved to hear the 24-year-old - who he is still on probation for beating in 2009 - is ‘okay’ after a man hurled a bottle of Lucozade energy drink at her causing her to fall over.

                    

Apparently it occurred while he was shouting something about Chris as she was leaving exclusive London nightclub The Box with her model pal Cara Delevingne on Saturday night.

A source close to the 23-year-old R&B star told the media: ‘It's f***ed up someone would do that to Rihanna, and mention Chris in the same sentence. He's hurt over stuff like that. He loves Rihanna, that's his girl and he doesn't want anybody messing with her like that. 

‘All Chris wants out of the whole situation is to make sure Rihanna is okay and she is - so that's the most important. Chris doesn't know exactly what happened, but Ri told him she was cool with all this drama. People are crazy out there and try to f**k with people just because they're a “celebrity.” They need to get a life.’

Her bodyguard's leg was also injured as he attempted to catch her attacker.

Rihanna, who was in London to launch her fashion line for River Island at London Fashion Week on Saturday, was seen clutching her bloody knee but it did not appear to be seriously hurt.
