Chris Brown has been ordered to appear in court over concerns about whether he properly completed a community service requirement and for a review of his probation, The Associated Press reports. Brown had been sentenced to probation and six months of community service for his infamous 2009 assault of Rihanna. Although Brown had completed his service, a prosecutor has raised questions about how many hours Brown had served after an audit was ordered in July.

Brown has been busy dealing with a $16 million lawsuit and other fallout from his June brawl with Drake in a New York nightclub.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
