Rihanna's ex spotted in SA

Johannesburg - Chris Brown jetted out of South Africa on Monday from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.

The singer, known for his domestic abuse issues with former girlfriend Rihanna, was spotted on a Delta Airlines flight travelling from Johannesburg to Atlanta in first class on Monday.

Brown released his latest album, F.A.M.E, earlier this year after being sentenced to serve a period of community service, following his admittance to beating Rihanna in 2009.

Brown left South Africa just as Kylie Minogue arrives for her Aphrodite tour this week in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

According to a passenger in first class, Brown seemed to be "energetic and happy".

In the past week insiders have been speculating about rumours that Brown might appear as the celebrity artist to perform at the Big Brother Amplified finale on July 31.
