Good thing Chris Brown has a fleet of expensive cars. Lucky him...
The star totaled his fancy Porsche Saturday after crashing into a wall on the way to a charity event in L.A. He claims an "aggressive pursuit by paparazzi" was to blame.
Brown's rep explained in a statement to Entertainment Weekly that after the singer was cut off by photogs, "the occupants jumped out, with cameras, and aggressively approached his vehicle. In an effort to remove himself from the situation, he began to back down an alley, at which point he was cut off by two additional vehicles."
He apparently crashed into a wall, which shattered upon impact. The car looked pretty banged up too and was towed at Brown's request.

While the singer has his side of the story, Chris Doherty, owner of INF, the agency that employed the photographers at the scene, says his guys "had nothing to do with Chris Brown crashing."
Doherty insists his cameramen arrived AFTER Chris crashed. "No photographers were following him at the time he crashed," he told TMZ. "He crashed his car and it’s convenient for him to blame us. He needs to be careful with his defamatory statements."
So far, the Beverly Hills police have issued a statement on the matter, but wouldn't comment on facts beyond the crash itself.
Brown's rep said the singer was "okay" after events, and added: "We plan on seeking criminal charges and holding them civilly liable." He's apparently sticking to his guns on this one.
Despite the expensive hiccup, the singer ended up making it to visit a kids' dance studio event and seemed to be in good spirits.
