Rapper Soulja Boy is the latest star to speak out over the alleged altercation between Chris Brown and Rihanna - urging the pair to reconcile their past differences and renew their romance.

Brown is facing charges of assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats following an incident on February 8th, which reportedly left Rihanna battered and bruised. Soulja Boy - who has toured with both artists - reveals he was shocked to hear of the reported fight, but is adamant Brown can repair his relationship with the Umbrella singer.

He says, "(Chris) needs to be focused on fixing himself right now and fixing the relationship. I don't know what went wrong or what happened exactly, but I couldn't be more shocked. Both of them are my friends, and I wish both of them the best of luck. They were really good together, and it is sad that it happened. It came out of nowhere. I would have never seen that coming. It is not like him at all. Not his nature."

However Soulja Boy, real name DeAndre Ramone Way, has vowed to support the pair if they fail to reignite their love affair.

He adds, "Remember that only God can judge, though. None of us know exactly what went down that weekend. Only they know the whole truth, and it will be up to them to decide if they can get straight with it and whether they will want to continue as a couple. I can just be there if either of them need me."
