More details have leaked detailing the violent incident involving pop singers Chris Brown and Rihanna. Here is the FULL search warrant and affidavit including every single detail of the fight! Chris Brown is a sick individual… Prepare yourself folks:

Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F. as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F. picked up Brown’s cellular phone and observed a three-page text message from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with. A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.’s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

It’s weird how all of these media outlets have a direct line to Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty. Homeboy sounds like he’s on payroll now and using this situation for a few minutes of fame. US Magazine got a little “press time” with the pop singer’s father shortly after it was announced that Chris Brown was being charged with 2 felony counts of assault and criminal threats. He told them how “someone” had a hold on her and how she’s changed her number so now he can’t even get in touch with her.

US: What was your reaction after hearing Chris Brown was charged with two felonies?
Fenty: I don’t know how to react. Chris is a very talented guy. I still think he’s a little immature for Rihanna. Justice can never be served in this situation. He can’t feel the pain she felt. I don’t believe in hitting a woman. I hope everything works out better for them. I don’t feel happy or sad. He’s in the court’s hands. Let justice prevail.

US: Have you seen the new police report that details Brown biting, hitting and threatening to kill Rihanna?
Fenty: I haven’t seen anything. I hear so many things. I don’t know what to believe until I see it myself. Rihanna’s mother is telling me that she hasn’t heard anything from her [Rihanna]. She said the last she heard Rihanna was well.

US: If those reports are true, how upset are you?
Fenty: I don’t know what to say, honest to god. I’ve been hearing so many stories. I don’t feel any pain anymore. I’ve gone numb. I’ve heard so much. But I can’t get on to her. Her mother can’t get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I’m lost.

Ryan Seacrest interviewed hip hop mogul Sean Combs (aka Diddy) on his radio show earlier today, and when the interview got to the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation, Diddy, who is usually very outspoken, simply told Ryan that he doesn’t “talk about other people’s business.”

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve got a rule. I don’t talk about other people’s business,” Diddy told Ryan Seacrest. “It keeps all of my relationships great. I’ll be honest, I was in LA so I don’t know what was going on.”

It was announced this morning by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office that R&B singer Chris Brown is being charged with two felonies – assault and making criminal threats. These charges stem from the alleged incident in which he beat his girlfriend Rihanna last month the weekend of the 2009 Grammys.

According to DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons, If the young pop singer is convicted, he could face anywhere from probation up to a maximum or 4 years and 8 months in state prison. He’s expected to enter a plea in court today. We’ll keep you updated!

Thanks to an illegal search by Atlanta police, rapper Lil’ Wayne can breathe a little easier. A Fulton County judge dismissed the drug charges brought against Lil’ Wayne for charges stemming from a 2006 traffic stop. But, unfortunately for the rapper, more charges in different states loom ahead. And we doubt any technicalities will allow those charges to be dropped. Dude just got lucky this time.

Lil’ Wayne is officially off the hook for the painkillers and the weed cops say they found in Georgia — but dude is still up to his tattooed neck in legal problems. A Fulton County judge dismissed felony drug charges against Weezy yesterday after ruling he was the subject of an illegal search.

Wayne was arrested back in 2006 after Atlanta police said they found unmarked bottles of hydrocodone and Xanax along with two marijuana joints in a hotel room. Now that he’s in the clear in Georgia, Wayne can focus on the weapons charges in New York and felony drug charges in Arizona.

Good thing he can afford a good lawyer.

TMZ has obtained the official notes from LAPD detectives from a search warrant in the case. The notes detail an incident involving Chris Brown and Rihanna, which started from a simple text message. Chris got mad, started beating on Rihanna, shoving her head into the window. And when she called her assistant to tell her to notify police, he threatened to kill her, saying she had just done “the stupidest thing ever.” The report says he bit her, punched her and put her in a headlock, where she almost lost consciousness.

Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown’s phone from a woman. An argument ensued and Brown allegedly tried forcing Rihanna out of the car but couldn’t because she was wearing her seat belt. Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna’s head against the passenger window. When Rihanna turned to face him, Brown punched her, then continued punching her while driving, according to the detective’s notes. Blood spattered all over Rihanna’s clothing and in the interior of the car. Her mouth was filled with blood.

Brown allegedly told Rihanna, “I’m going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see.“ Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, “I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.” Brown then replied, “You just did the stupidest thing ever. I’m going to kill you.“ According to the report, Brown continued to punch Rihanna, bit her on her ear, her fingers and put her in a headlock — she almost lost consciousness.

Damn, Chris!
