Chris Brown has reportedly begun using "Can I get your number? I promise I won't beat you!" as a pickup line. A source has told Us Weekly that the singer used the line on a woman at a Grammy gift lounge on Friday. "He and his friends laughed, then one yelled, 'That's his new line!' Ugh! I wanted to throw up!" says the source.
"I'd be surprised if Chris said something that stupid," a representative for Brown told Us.
Brown, 22, pleaded guilty in 2009 for felony assault for beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna before the Grammys. He is currently finishing his sentence for the crime, which included mandatory anger management courses, community service and supervised probation. Last year, the singer had a violent outburst backstage at Good Morning America after host Robin Roberts asked him questions about the domestic violence incident. He also was embroiled in a homophobic Twitter feud with former B2K member Raz-B.
Brown's most recent album, F.A.M.E. (Forgiving All My Enemies), has been a major commercial success, winning the Grammy for Best R&B Album, but the singer's reputation has been damaged considerably by his domestic violence conviction. Regardless, many members of the star's young female audience have expressed a troubling indifference to his rage issues on Twitter.

25 Extremely Upsetting Reactions To Chris Brown At The Grammys

Chris Brown is an immature dolt who is apparently being enabled by gawd and everybody. He is going to badly hurt or even kill somebody if he doesn't change course. His entourage is denying he said this, but I bet he uses this line and thinks he's cute.
If the courts can, they need to review his sentence and have him go through a much longer lesson about anger and abuse. His probation officer needs to have a word or two with him.
