Wait! Is That a Noose Around Chris Brown's Neck?

After reading the apology a lawyer and/or PR firm wrote for him on Monday, Chris Brown is back in the studio making music.

The album, tentatively titled "Graffiti", will be released later this year.

Here he is leaving a recording studio in Hollywood last night, but what does he have around his neck?

Is that symbolism?

Who can blame him, though. He has been persecuted in the media for months.
