Los Angeles: Singer Chris Brown is reportedly planning to cut ties with the bad influences in his life and has assured his record company that he plans to focus on his career after being released from jail.

The R&B star, who has been in prison since March, was freed Sunday. He was jailed earlier this year following his dismissal from a court-ordered rehab stint for bad behaviour, which was part of a probation violation case stemming from his 2009 assault conviction for attacking ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
