Last week, Chris Brown's December tour in Australia and New Zealand were cancelled as the singer was reportedly not allowed to enter Australia due to his criminal conviction for assaulting Rihanna back in 2009. Following the cancellation of his concerts, the singer's appearance on "The Daily Show" was also cancelled as the staff of the talk show was allegedly divided on whether to let Brown be on the show because of past issues.

The "Ayo" singer has not commented on the cancellations, but over the weekend, the 26-year-old gave a former domestic violence victim named Jessica Roncalli a car as a Christmas gift for her and her three children. On Saturday, Dec. 5, Brown went to the Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood in California to give Roncalli and her sons the special gift, and the singer even took to Instagram to post a picture of the single mother standing beside the blue car with a white bow on top.

In a lengthy caption on the photo sharing app, Brown said that he was been fortunate and blessed with so much in life and thought that it was always supposed to be that way.

"I was selfish, arrogant, and cold hearted," he wrote. "I'm able to bless and inspire so many others and I realize that now. This woman has dealt with domestic abuse through her life and her 3 wonderful children had to experience that."
In the post, Brown praised Roncalli for her strength and hoped that he has made their Christmas "a great one." He also revealed that aside from the car, Brown also bought some toys for the children and hoped that they liked them as well.

The singer's fans applauded his actions and said that being a father to Royalty must have changed him for the better.

"Wonderful, I see growth every day," wrote one commenter, while another one wrote, "I have so much respect for you after this Chris."
