R&B singer Chris Brown reportedly has some familiar company with him behind bars as buzz about fellow crooner James DeBarge now being thrown in the same jail he's at has surfaced. #HeyNeighbor
Details of Chris Breezy’s unexpected Los Angeles County Jail neighbor have emerged.
The two R& B stars are locked up in side-by-side cells — in the segregated unit for high profile inmates. We’re told they’ve been collaborating on music and have already written three songs, performing them during the long days … with other cellmates harmonizing. This is kind of amazing … they can’t see each other. It’s all about the sounds. You know why Chris is behind bars. As for DeBarge … it’s all about those pesky drug convictions. (TMZ)
The mega singer’s latest legal woe hit the Internet earlier this month.
Brown, 25, wore an orange jail jumpsuit and handcuffs, but he appeared to be smiling as he was led into court in Los Angeles by deputies Friday afternoon. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James Brandlin immediately sentenced Brown to serve 365 days in jail for the admitted probation violation. He was given credit for serving 234 days because of the rehab and jail time, leaving 131 days left to serve. (CNN)
Despite the seriousness, Breezy’s attorney said he expected to see him released in a matter of days.
“I would expect that Chris should be out of jail before the weekend’s up or before Monday,” Mark Geragos said after the hearing. “If he isn’t out by Monday, then I would expect he’s getting special treatment. He’s got over 230 days credit on a 365 (day sentence) and generally the sheriff is releasing on a lot less than that.” Friday’s admission in Los Angeles that he violated his probation by committing a crime in Washington should lead to a quick resolution of the District of Columbia assault case, Geragos said.

A few days ago, Brown’s close friend Teyana Taylor said he was keeping his head up despite the tough times.
“Actually we spoke to him, me, EJ, Karrueche, we spoke to him a couple of weeks ago. He’s doing good, man. He’s in good spirits. It’s his birthday, man, he’s in there on his birthday. But, his whole spirit, like, when he get out, he gonna be good. He’s not in there bitter and harping. It is what it is. He’s becoming a better man.” (“The Breakfast Club”)
