Chris Brown is regretting fighting with Tyson Beckford

Los Angeles - Chris Brown has admitted he was "wrong" to start a feud with model Tyson Beckford.

The 26-year-old singer reacted angrily to an image Tyson, 44, shared of himself and his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran on his Instagram account, but Chris has subsequently acknowledged he overreacted and has issued an apology on Twitter.

I'm light skin! I'm always in my feelings!

No drama! People are really starting to make this shit an issue. I can be a real one and say that I was wrong for even pressing an issue.

Chris - whose on/off relationship with Karrueche dates back to 2011 - later added: "I can be a man about it."

I can be a man about it.
