The `Yeah 3x` hitmaker recently split from girlfriend Karrueche Tran because he couldn`t give up his "friendship" with his ex Rihanna - who he was convicted of assaulting in 2009 - and friends of Chris say he wants to put things right with the `We Found Love` singer.

A pal told HollywoodLife.com: "He`s doing s**t right this time and is going to really try to make this s**t work with Rihanna. They got caught up a few times, being drunk and doing some backwards?s**t in the club but, come on, they [are] young and in love.

"People be getting it twisted, thinking my boy a dog. He ain`t. Not at all."

Chris recently posted a candid video he has named `The Real Chris Brown` onto the internet and in it the musician is seen discussing his romantic dilemma over the two women.

He says in the video: "I`m stressed out ... when you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it`s kinda difficult.

"Is there such thing as loving two people? I don`t know if that`s possible, but for me, I feel like that."
