Chris Brown has revealed he is 'praying' for fellow troubled star Justin Bieber, likening the Canadian star to Elvis Presley in during a radio interview.
Brown has revealed he sees similarities between himself and Bieber, as both are struggling with the pressures of experiencing fame at a very young age, and both must endure problems such as as unlimited amount of cash and opportunities to do 'whatever they want'.
"It's a case of how I feel. Being young, having a limitless amount of income to do whatever you want. You have nobody who's going to say, 'Hey bro, you look whack right now'," said Brown in an interview with Power 105.1's Breakfast Club show.
"I feel like the mainstream media... they're going to target the little black boys around him and say this is why he's doing it. I'm damn sure glad I'm not around!
"I pray for him, I pray for myself. I think we're both great artists... he's like a baby Elvis."
