Jay-Z says has urged the public to support Rihanna after being allegedly attacked by her boyfriend Chris Brown.

The rapper, who discovered Rihanna in 2004, says he doesn't want to get drawn into making 'soundbites' commenting on the alleged incident, but did say 20-year-old Rihanna needs all the support she can get.

He told Hollywoodscoop that he refused to pass direct comment on the issue because: "It's not a soundbite, this is a real situation. You have to have compassion for others. Just imagine it being your sister or Mom and then think about how we should talk about that."

However, he continued: "I just think we should all support her. She's going through a tough time. You have to realise she's a young girl, as well. She's very young."

As reported earlier today, Chris Brown has issued a public apology and says he is undergoing counselling to help change his ways.

  • If Chris Brown doesn't get help now, we might be reading about him killing somebody in a yr or two. He has to control his anger...he's too young to be that violent......

  • Since Tina believes in violence because according to her, "she might have deserved it" she needs to join Chris Brown in anger management and while she's at it get an education in domestic violence by visiting a shelter for the abused and witnessing what these poor people go through at the hands of their abusers.

  • They should charge Chris Brown. He deserves to get some jail time. That would be a lesson to men who think they have the right to beat & abuse women. He could have killed her. Who does he think he is? There is no excuse for his behaviour. She as well needs councilling. From all reports, this is not the first time he has beaten her. She, and women in that position, should not stay in relationships with peoplle who beat them. She can do far better than that. Women most take some resp
