Chris Brown has revealed he's not quite ready for a new relationship as he's been busy "working" on himself.

The hip-hop artist - who was sentenced to community service and probation after admitting assaulting his then girlfriend Rihanna in February this year - told MTV News he's been "kinda chillin'".

The Kiss Kiss singer said: "My whole dating thing, I've been kinda chillin', I mean, I'm Chris Brown, I'm not saying it like that, but it's just, like, girls are gonna be around, I love women - but I would say I've just been chillin', I haven't really been trying to get into a relationship or trying to date anybody."
