With Rihanna turning 24 today, it was inevitable that the model would receive a stampede of well-wishes from fans and fellow artists alike.
However, few were expecting ex Chris Brown to be among those – especially given the controversial nature of their past and his incessant bid to shake of any such attachment to the Bajan.
And yet he was, and publicly too.
For Brown took to Twitter to wish the ‘We Found Love’ singer performer the best on her big day, with Ms. Fenty responding shortly after.
Peep their birthday banter after the jump…
Via Twitter:
We’re fully used to Rihanna courting controversy to distract from the emptiness of her talent, but Chris? Surely there’s 100 other private ways of saying the same thing.
Perhaps we’re being cynical, but this reeks of publicity stunt; one designed to whip the media and fans into a frenzy following news of a supposed remix of ‘Birthday Cake’ featuring the former lovers.
With Brown gearing up to release a project, and Fenty currently in the midst of hers, I guess both teams are hoping to underscore the age old adage that any publicity is good publicity. Ironic, as – on paper, at least – this spells disaster.
I just want that full song !!! CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE
happy birthday rihanna!

two words. PUBLICITY STUNT.
Oh please, they are both using each other for publicity, which is quite pathetic.
They’re over it, why aren’t y’all? Smhhh people can’t even interact with each other. Last time I check it’s their lives they’re living, so why care????

Sam,
Girl, SHUT THE F*** UP!
He said Happy F****** Birthday! Damn, you act like he wrote the b**** a 4 page letter. Its high time you and folks with no personal business of their own….to HOP off Rihanna’s d*** and leap away from the general direction of Chris’ d***. Geez. And change the title of this RAGEDY ASS story too. This bullsiht is teasing NOTHING but my nerves.
Chrianna for life.
They haven’t hinted at any kind of collab. He just wished her happy birthday. You guys are really struggling to get news these days.
Well, CB IS supposed to release a new album and Riri a new single…
REALLY Rihanna really….I have a feeling something is going to happen that I’m gone have to stop stanning for her., she keeps rubbing me the wrong way these last few weeks. she better keep it ALL the way CUTE!
She don’t need scandles to stay relevant like some.. kmt SMH I just can’t
*walks out room*
He just said happy birthday to her what the hell yall getting so hype about !
Lol! Good lord, I love the fact that TGJ gave her the title singer, scratched it and rerplaced it with performer! that was the death of me right there!!! and why is it that he had to wish Rih GIRL HBD on Twitter? Its just sooooooo lame really…
These two can go straight to hell for all I care…I thank God that talented acts such as Emeli are able to attain success without having to resort to gimmicks.
SHADE! SHADE EVERYWHERRE!
blah. they just playing with their stupid fans emotions to have some to talk. same fools is the whole blogosphere to get into that publicity work. all about talk and buzz to generate. just music isn’t enough for them.
Lots of ppl would like this girl to carry anger and hate for the rest of her life. Anger and hate will eat you up and destroy you its a full job. Rihanna forgive but i don’t think she forgets and that’s how it should be . Forgive,but don’t forget and move on
Is Rihanna stupid?
She has a good thing going for her right now, WHY the f*** would she mess it up for c*** called chris brown?
HE almost KILLED YOU! She said last year, she doesnt want to be gimmick! Then deny this s***, let your music do the talking and stay the f*** away from chris brown.
And drop this I dont give a f**** mood and stop calling people c***. sHE IS 24 YEARS OLD, grow the f*** up!
This is coming someone who is younger then her!
Whoever believes that this is not for publicity is a jackass. keep em coming…..
@RIRI,,,I heard that!!!!!!!!
I feel many are cool with them being friends and there’s nothing
wrong with that, because as the saying goes: Those of us without
Sin Cast the First Stone, Chris & Rihanna are over their pass why
not all of us just let the chips fall where they may. Chirst is booed
up and Rihanna had better be cool because she will be called
home WRECKER NEXT!!!!!!!
l Love that photo of them it really do take your mind
back to when they was this cute powerful couple
before the Devil threw a m***** ranch into the
mix to try and destroy their lives & careers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris & Rihanna don’t need a publicity stunt they
are both very known as it stands.
Sam,
I mean, that horse has ALREADY galloped out from that proverbial barn, no? Wasn’t the entire premise behind the “We Found Love” – complete with CBreezy look-a-like – “Chrianna”..?!
Rihanna and Def Jam smells money and if ‘Cake’ does anywhere near what ‘WFL’ had, then a certain “Billboard loudmouth” will have to chew on his keyboard: PROFITS TRUMP ALL!! ..And in that stead, don’t be surprise to see/hear a follow-up video, then an actual album, and even possibly a tour by/between the two not there long-after.. (Karreuche ’bout to f*** a b**** up!!)
“courting controversy to distract”
But Sam, whatever else were we to expect from the “Zero-Talent Hack” Empress herself?
..And speaking about “Zero-Talent Hacks”; I see there’s yet another “TGJ Favorite Daughter” post (I think I”ll have some fun..).
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TGJ HOW ARE YOU SURPRISED AT HIS ANTICS? HE’S BEEN RIDING THE COAT TAILS OF OTHERS BACK INTO THE PUBLIC EYE HENCE ALL OF HIS FEATURED ARTISTS AND BEING A FEATURES ARTIST FOR YEARS NOW. PLUS HE’S BEEN USING CONTROVERSY TO SELL HIS TUNES. I’M NOT SURPRISED LMAO ANYTHING TO BRING ATTENTION TO HIS FLOPPING MUSIC! IS FAME EVEN PLATINUM YET? OH…..
HAPPY BDAY RIHANNA ….GO AND GET YOUR MAN BOO..CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE, WATCH N LEARN.
LMAO, I feel like Rich is trying to set Rihanna up to fall! This will be an interesting day! When that song premieres it might get as much press as Blue Ivy….In a way Rihanna and Chris are being smart, but in another way the emotional back lash might be to heavy of a price to pay, because both of their loyal stan bases are not happy and the bandwagaon/semi fans seem to be the only ones entertain because they really could careless if the Navy sinks or floats and Team Breezy is just an all around mess regardless…
If we are going to continue to question Rihanna’s talent, can we please do so with Chris Browns… Unlike Chris, Rihanna actually has her Mic turned on during performances… Chris’s music is EXTREMELY generic, to the point you could tell me it was FloRida and I would not realy be able to tell… Lets not confuse Chris gangly and rather messy dance performances with talent please… Thanks…
Kingphoenix
Just when you thought it was safe its never safe lol….
TO FANS/STANS:
The thing about this is that they a madly in love with each other, let them be, if its meant for them to be together then they will be together, fans /stans chill out this is out of your control. If you turn your back on either of them then you never was a REAL fan/stan.#justsayin
Rihanna has never looked happier.
ha said happy birthday? wtf is wrong with that? samantha calm your tits. him and rihanna are just friends. i swear thatshitjuice always be misleading us.
Was just a simple happy birthday. People need to let them get over this their own way. People wont her to become another bitter black woman and Chris another static. But the never give their own people, I.e Charlie sheen this amount of hate Smh
As long as they don’t kill each other, Keep thinking that RIHANNA IS DUMB\rIHANNA HAVE SHOWED HERSELF WORTHY TO BE PRAISED AND With Chris and all of his Collab. Including Kwest being on a Joint i can see that the wagons has circled Chris and showed him love in spite of the bull s*** that is out there.
And no matter how much these two are talked about in the press about their pass and their future the proof will always be in the pudding. After this year has ended and all of the sales has been counted then we will see who is still standing now want we. Like i said i am happy that they are friends and Rihanna know that he and she have both moved on so why not play with the one’s who are Fickle and think the worst for the two of them.
PS Rihanna know very well that if she is crapping gold blocks or squares there
would be something said even if many people was getting a block of gold to live happily ever after on. JUST CONSIDER A HAPPY LIFE RIHANNA THAT IS FREE OF BULL S*** IF YOU CAN IMAGING THAT, YOU HAVE DONE A SUPER JOB OF HOLDING YOUR OWN THUS FAR…
and how exactly does this tease the collaboration?? stop making assumptions over the smallest things. saying happy birthday to someone doesnt mean your trying to promote something. samantha sit down with yo fake ass.
This is a perfect way to see how many feel and
think about the two of them.
Can sum1 PLEASE tell me why anyone even gives a damn about this kinda crap?
Happy Birthday Rihanna
not falling 4 this sh*t…..publicity…im smarter than dat! Fck u rihanna and chris
…and yet you continue to report on it, continue to talk about, and continue to post s*** about it.
Sure, he said “Happy Birthday”, but all she did was say “Thanks”. That’s called being civil.
I laughed at “whip the media and fans into a frenzy” cause before this I was hyped for the song. Alot were and didn’t care if it had a feature or not just wanted it in full. Now I care about it as much as she and her team care about her career pretty much.
I’ll wait to see if he’s on the song (which he most likely will be) laugh like crazy at all of the backlash, wipe my hands fully off the era then see how she and her team go about rebuilding a career or heck maybe they don’t wanna and that’ll be fine too. As I said before if you don’t care about your own career why should I?
They are BOTH dumb, they BOTH need publicity and they BOTH SPRUNG…point blank period…Rihanna is being played out and Chris Brown is gay, boring, and hadn’t been new since before the incident..I’m done

#TheseKats
YOU PEOPLE NEED A LIFE!!!!! MY GOD!!!!
God! is this really important, i mean i like RiRi and all but her personal life is that, something i don’t really care, i wish her the best but is her problem whatever she does with her personal life, just saying i see people here care so much about this story, let them live, they’re both are adults.
chris dont wish this crazy ass a happy birthday she almost ended your career
first if people are counting this is publicity then all blame rest on chris brown! the one who tweeted happy birthday!!!! people are so quick to try and hate on rihanna all she did was respond with a thanks! smh this is why all of the negative comments above count as hate!!
SAW PICS OF CHRIS AT THE BEACH. SAW LATEST PICS OF RiRi. BOTH LOOKED SO HAPPY AND FULL OF JOY, BECAUSE AGAIN THEY ARE IN EACH OTHERS LIVES. WHY CANT THE WORLD EMBRACE THAT HAPPYNESS. NO , WE WANT TO SEE THEM HATE ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE WE ARE HATEFULL DESPICABLE HUMANS PRETENDING TO CARE FOR THEM AND TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OUT OF WHAT HAPPEND 3 AEONS AGO.
SHAME ON YOU AMERICA.
Well DAMN! REALLY @SAM/TGJ?
Since everyone in the world knows he attended her birthday party this past week why would it be surprising that he wished her a happy b-day. Come on now you are getting like these animals in the biased american media. I don’t see a story? Damn, when you simply cannot wish a person well, WTF has the world come to ….DAMN!
