Khaled calls it a test of the kid’s character, and Mike Tyson appears to deliver a quick word about the dangers of limitless resources and refusing to take no for an answer, presumably speaking abstractly about his early-’90s rape conviction and three-year stint in a correctional facility. Brown gives a harrowing step-by-step account of what happened in the car with Rihanna on the night of the 2009 VMAs, insisting that the two had a history of volatile scraps and that he’d been egged into this one, though he owns the guilt and stigma for the assault. The flick starts out with Brown and his family reliving the shock of sudden celebrity as a teen who came from nothing, but after a while, it takes a turn. His lawyer Mark Geragos, who led Jackson’s defense team for a time during his molestation trial, is ever-present. Brown is compared to Michael Jackson several times in the first 20 minutes by everyone from DJ Khaled to Mary J. Chris Brown’s Welcome to My Life is one of the strangest music documentaries I’ve ever seen.
