Las month, a judge revoked Brown's probation from his 2009 assault on former girlfriend Rihanna in connection with the hit-and-run case. He is free pending an August 19 hearing in the probation matter, but is facing up to [article id="1710655"]four years in jail[/article]
 if he is found in violation.

A spokesperson for Brown could not be reached for comment at press time about the retirement talk, but the singer appeared to be reacting to the ongoing fall-out from the Rihanna incident. "Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent," he wrote. "I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when I was 18. I'm cool & over it!"
