T.I. "Chris Brown Is Cool About Arrest"

Chris Brown is reportedly "cool" about his arrest for alleged felony battery, says the singer's friend, rapper T.I.

The Atlanta hip-hop star says he has spoken to the 'Forever' hitmaker, following his arrest and subsequent release (on $50,000 bail) on Sunday.

"Yeah, I spoke to him today. He cool, you know." T.I. tells radio host Carson Daly. "I guess he a little concerned about the situation, but he's still the same Chris."

The rapper also told listeners not to look at celebrities differently, adding: "Hey man, you people gotta remember, we celebrities and we entertainers but we still human. All of us. Don't expect us not to make mistakes 'cause we will."

T.I. himself is preparing to serve a year long jail sentence next month, after he pleaded guilty for possessing weapons.

Chris Brown was arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman in Los Angeles - rumored to be girlfriend Rihanna. He is due in court on 5 March.
