Rihanna's name has been burning through headlines in both urban and "mainstream" media outlets for her 20/20 special and comments made about the Chris Brown incident. Instead of remaining silent on the issue, Brown is also taking to the television networks to offer an apology for what happened.

Unlike Rihanna, Brown has never pointed the finger when it came to discussing the incident, instead offering his apologies for what occurred that much-discussed February night.

Some fans blasted Brown for not giving details about the incident, saying his lack of candid responses made his excuses seem insincere.

Brown sat with MTV's Sway to answer his critics in a recent interview.

"When I apologize, I really apologize, definitely, about the situation, like me and her personally, obviously," Brown said. "We've exchanged, I've exchanged my apologies for her, but when I do it publicly, it's for the people who I let down: It's for the fans, it's for all the people, even the sponsors, even the people that have invested in me and thought that I was a good enough role model."

"I really wanted to apologize [to] the people that I let down and show people that I am wrong for what I've done, but I want people to learn from it and see that I'm really apologetic," he reiterated.

Brown's entire interview will air tonight (November 6) on MTV.
