Rihanna and Chris Brown recent duets have spoken volumes about the status of their “relationship”. However, neither of the pair have verbally addressed why they decided to team up again – especially given the controversy which greets the the mention of their names collectively.
That silence ended this morning when Barbados’ Next Top Model called into Ryan Seacrest‘s KISS FM radio show.
Check out the interview after the jump…
Via Neon Limelight:
On How The Duets Came About:
“The first song that came about was ‘Birthday Cake.’ I mean we ended up recording them at the same time and executing them together, but I reached out to him about doing ‘Birthday Cake’ because that’s the only person that really–it made sense to do the record. Just as a musician despite everything else that was going to be the person. You know I thought about rappers, and I’ve done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown. So I wanted him on the track, and then in turn he was like ‘Why don’t you do the remix to my track?’ and it was a trade off.”
On what she hopes to achieve by collaborating with Chris:
We did two records. One for my fans. One for his fans, and that way our fans can come together. There shouldn’t be a divide. You know? It’s music, and it’s innocent.”
———————————-
Uniting with Chris is all well and good, but -on somewhat of a random note- I “can’t” at her talking about her music “sonically”.
This from an “artist” who neither writes, produces, or has any creative involvement in the crafting of her music beyond barking the songs handed to her. This from an “artist” who’s rushed through her entire album campaign. Heck, she’s rushed through an entire career. True artistry can’t be warmed up in a microwave.
Your thoughts?

she is a s*** she knows she provoked him that night and she is feeling guilty she is trying to trick pple the breezy fans to come together we wont buy her s*** unless the navy buys cbs music if she realy want teambreezy to come together why does she coz friction with all the subtweets to CB girl and her stans gang up with her (its all music its innocent0 what does its innocent mean is she trying to say even though this gu is not innocent the music is innocent bye W**** she has to go sit on a corner and think of ways on how she can expose her vajay since we have already saw the tities
Oh shut up TGJ…..
It’s not innocent you racist b****.You reached to him because you want the pencil back,you are jealous you find love and you wanted a #1…again.
Chris is really a moron for falling into her trap.Chris is not R&B and his album wasnt R&B at all,the album was horrible,even the mixtape was better.
Chris doesnt respect Kae who supported him so much,he is going to pay for that…this racist homewecker will continue to ruine his life.
ummm… U still mad?
i think she’s the bigger person here for doing that. i dnt think she wants him back but she wants to move on from the past… i like her and i like Chris
She worked with him because she knew it would cause a big stir and she loves the controversy and publicity it brings.
What he did was wrong but what I don’t understand is she goes on national tv and says all these things. He was at a low point in his life where he or anyone didn’t know if he was going to make a comeback. After all the work he puts in to finally get back on track you want him on your songs? It’s like when a girl only wants you when you are on top but doesn’t want to mess with you when you are at your lowest point only when you work your b*** off that she comes running back saying he is the hottest thing right now. I will never understand. I guess it is not met for me too. Chris should just leave her alone all together. Guess you can argue with stupid .
Agree with @KAT DELUNA Fan for once! Rihanna makes me sick,fine we have moved on!Chris must stay away from her.
I am a huge chris brown fan but I am getting really pissed off about him even entertaining her,If he wants to be an idiot go ahead! this b**** played him and now she fading and wants to stir some s*** up,STAY WITH K-TRAN!
Teambreezy I wish would send out a message to him that we arent idiots,when he was crying on BET for his career we stuck with him and F.A.M.E went to NO.1
Where was Rihanna!!!
All y’all on some b*******. At first I didn’t like the idea of them doing songs…but because of reading the comments on blogs like this I know that both rihanna and chris brown fans were taking it wayyy to far with some comments. Half the WOMEN on here calling her a w**** have probably slept with more men…smh. Half the men in here dogging chris out have been in some kind of legal trouble that some can look down upon. I don’t support domestic violence…and I am Chris Brown’s biggest critic but I do believe its time to allow him to heal and stop demonizing him. I’m not buying his s***…but I can see why they thought it was a good idea to make those songs. It wasn’t…
This whole stunt was an epic flop. They thought people cared more than people do. People moved on before this. It wasn’t “shocking”, it was annoying. The songs sucked, and neither are going to number one.
Chris Brown is in love with rihanna though. Her praising him in such a public way will only make him more enamored with her.
Its telling how she only wanted to work with him when he scratched his way back up top. I can respect bring the fans together though. This needed to happen like 2 years ago.
Obviously the girl is having a mental break down! Somebody help quick!
I cant with this…
there is NO excuse to make music with a man that beats you! She milked the assault but wants to take it back?
@Sam re:
“True artistry can’t be warmed up in a microwave.”
BOOM…POW..!!! “Holy ‘broken jaws and loose teeth’, Batman..!!”
@Aunt Jacky
“We Found Love” did VERY well and was solely based on “everything” Chrianna; down to the CBreezy blond-haired lookalike.
But I don’t think it’s “Chris” ‘per se’ (as far at it being a “flop”) – no, it’s just that interest in Rihanna has waned considerably. Nicki Minaj is the NEW “IT GIRL”! And this “whole stunt” had loads of potential (again referring back to “WFL”) it was poorly handled. Also, I don’t think Chris “singed off” on her “sweeter/tastier than rice cakes” comment.
For me, it had serious potential but was clumsily handled. As it turns out, Chris DOES NOT NEED RIHANNA; ironically enough, it is RIHANNA whose ‘light now dims’ and it is SHE who now needs Chris!
..My-oh-my, how the tables have now turned: just 2-years ago only “The Most Faithful/Truest Believers” of TeamBreezy believed, and had enough foresightedness to see ‘over and pass’ that, then gloomy, dark, stormy horizon.
X,Y,”and Z” — SATISFACTION..!!
Deepth of the music is the Genre of the music…..
And she sing many Genres.
Deepth is also determined by the Genre
When people say she can’t sing and Adele can
Well they sing different genre.
Rihanna has been featured enough on enough
different heavy hitters in the music areNA’S COLLAB.
That she have got a career just in singing the hooks on
songs from others not to mention hat her MICRO WAVE MUSIC
Hs sold 47 million download, Effortless!!!!! And the most in the U S.
oh please people always have something to say. no one knows what went on in that car that night but the two of them and god. I love Rihanna and i love Chris too. however who gives a s*** if she wants to reconnect with him at the end of the day its her life. this s*** happens everyday in the hood, in white woman land, in hollywood,it happens all over and just because its Rihanna you m************ are judging her calling her a s*** and saying shes making the biggest mistake of HER LIFE. its her life period. Rihanna don’t live for me or you. Neither does Chris.
All f the musician want Instance Gratification, thats what it’s all about
you know. Then again what about others who haven’t done enough MICROWAVE SERVING’S TO FEED AS MAN AS SHE HAS FED.
I can’t watch the interview, but I really respect Rihanna and Cb for being maturing and moving on from the incident. Its the fans that is so involved with their personal life than their music. CB is the hottest R & B artist out right now, he won every R & B award last year at the Urban awards shows, all of them and he just won best R & B album at the grammys, no despute there. He dominated the R & B charts last year with his own songs or Collaborations. I just wished their record company would’ve put Birthday Cake on itunes, it actually is #7 on Billboard chart today based on airplay only. That is amazing. I love Birthday Cake and Turn up the music, I am looking for more collaborations from them in the future.
Her collaborating with chris is still b******* no respect for her Honestly People Should really stop justifying what chris did
Okay, Chris is the hottest thing in R&B but that’s all you two had to offer to your audiences, two WEAK a$s remixes…
Gurl, this below was a HOT duet :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Cx1mbsr-E&feature=related
She got those mainstream people in the palm of her hands, they will never challenge her. If this was The Breakfast Club, they would have Lil’Mama’d her. Can’t knock the hustle for real, I guess. Go Rih-Rih.
Many can keep right on calling Rihanna names but until i see another artist who
can do as well as she did in 6 months all of the other talk is NULL & VOID>
@Sleazy Fans like you want to continue making it about the incident, when Rih and CB are trying to get their fans to be about their music and PEACE. CB tweeted yesterday POSITIVE ENERGY, which I loved that tweet from him. I know I am personally tired of hearing about the incident and their personal lives. I want to hear more about CB upcoming album than the mans personal life.
While many are talking s*** about her Rihanna
is on Access Hollywood, doing her thing……….
@MISkHA, What you want to know about their personal relatioship, maybe she doesn’t want to discuss if she is friends or more with him or whats going on with Karrueche. She trying to keep it about the music, no personal. I guess its going to keep all of you wondering whats going on.
Paige, KC, CBE, aunt jackie – i agree with all. CB sure is hot right now and it had nothing to do with any input from this chick. After she sat and watch the media and every other person drag him to the pits of hell for 3 years and he miraculously crawled his way back with the help of teambreezy she wants to work with him because “he is the hottest right now”? WOW she never ceases to amaze me with her level of “famewhorishness”
CB is not without blame as well. He endorsed this madness.
“He will be enarmoured with her because she is praising him publicly.” WOW, that comment lack some serious thought process. All this makes the chick seem is more desperate than anything else and highly lacking of self esteem. No sensible man wants a woman who has her goodies on display for the entire world to see or is reported to have been linked to many men (whether it is true or not). All he will see her as is a piece of meat to him and every other man. First line in birthday cake song from CB supports this.
I think I know what CB is doing so I will just sit back and watch to see if my intuition is correct.
CB TWEETS POSITIVE ENERGY
I also dont understand why she did use forgiveness as her excuse? Because that is better answer than “hottest r nb singer right now” b*******….
@RIRI You are a Rihanna fan, you should know that her last two magazine interviews she stated that she forgave him and moved on from this. How many times must Rih and Cb say I FORGIVE HIM, AND HE SAY I AM SORRY.
@LAX
Please stop spamming to the site.We know that rihanna having the most comments on a blog which hate her seem important to you.We know you dont care about TGJ hate but want to make sure rihanna has the most ratings here BUT STOP…………….
Yeah @LAX,that’s exactly what we said weeks from now..rihanna will continue to do her thing :her lover Jay will make sure she has a song with another friend of him,she is going to reach to Drake that she treated like s*** for a grammy or a #1s….
We know,she is going to do her but Chris will suffer,like always.Nobody is surprised to see her continue to live her life while chris missed going to prison weeks ago.
Chris aient smart at all.
He’s not R&b
It was just a publicity stunt. also, Chris Brown isnt r&b.
@ X, Y & Z
I think the WFL stunt worked because it wasn’t actually CB. People liked to “wish” them in a video together or “wish” them in a song together, but they didn’t want to actually see it. The other problem is that “Cake” & “Turn Up the Music” wasn’t the song to do this damn collabo on. WFL might have been.
Rihanna’s career isn’t over–that gal has nine lives. But she sure did fast forward the amount of time sh has left.
@Kat why don’t yo pass right onby th bytchs and have a seat
waaaay in the back with the others who are waiting for me to
give a fukkkk about what you are saying to me @ hos like this
Kat,,,,gutter trash……to the back, deery
Keep waiting or e to give a fukkk, Kat……..
Can someone tell me what Rihanna said that was racist? Not being sarcastic I really wanna know. Anyhow I disagree with her Usher is a better r&b artist than cb when he sings r&b as proven with climax plus he has always been more successful than cb. Anyhow Sam we all know your faves lie about writing songs and creating original video concepts but I won’t even clock that tea today.
i really liked rihanna, but im starting to get over her. she is too much of a fame w****! and i agree with everyone else, this duet was simply to cause controversy and publicity. Chris brown is a popstar, not r&b
@ZANIa, Always putting a poitie Spin on things cool.
She’s smart. This will only cause Chris fans to support her again and she KNOWS her fans (including me) will never buy a Chris album. This will also cause the media to shade and bash Chris even more. Lol Ri camp are genius…. trust.
@Zania Cosign You…… my key board is sick time
for a new one.
@MINAJESTY. I guess having a #1 song, Deuces, Look at me now, #3 song on Billboard, She ain’t you, No B*******, Wet the Bed and the Colloboration, My Last with Big Sean top 3 on Billboard, and all the R & B awards to go with it last year, sounds like R & B to me. He usually have 3 pop songs on his album , but his album is mainly R & B and hip hop.
Wow l am surprised you only respond to me once @LAX. 😆
Keep spamming the post to make sure your fave got many coms..you’ll probably tweet or PM her the link so she can retweet you or get u to Da silvano.
Oh Goat 😕 🙄 pathetic goat just fame w**** like their fave.
@GIRRRL
Goat is racist.l hate people who support racist people …To excuse heartless behavior,famewhore attitude… l can understand but support a racist person is unacceptable.
@LIFE you are wrong, there is a whole lot of CHrianna fans out there and the fan base is increasing daily that support both artist.

_____________________________
Who wants to know about that? What’s going on between her and Karakum anyway. “Where a guy sleeps is where his heart at”. Point Blank Period Next.
I was talking about music.The music was average, they didn’t need each other on their tracks anyway so it was all about shock value and that’s what people who keep it real would want to discuss with her.
I’m gettin real tired of TGJ puttin out lies!
Believe it or not, Rihanna duz do a lot of songwriting. I suggest u go back and read the credits 2 her albums. And yes, start w/ her very 1st album… u’ll c she has writing credits on there!
Now I’m not stan 4 her by any means, but damn, stop callin the girl talentless or sayin she has no creative involvment.
She writes, and def has a gud ear 4 music. She chooses which songs/beats work 4 her, and she makes them n2 hits.
Unlike Beyonce who u obviously think is GOD’s gift 2 earth, she duznt have 2 pay 2 have her name listed.
FYI: I like Beyonce’s music jus as much as I like Rih’s
TGJ… stop puttin da girl down. Is clear by now dat she isn’t goin newhere soon. And get back 2 me when u feel stupid afta c’n she is a writer!
@KAT,,,What in the hell or you smoking you are always negative and do
not want to see love and harmony between these two people yet you hate
Rihanna with a passion so how in the fukkkk are we supposed to understand your haring ass. And you are a ball face liar with the Rihanna and jayz bull s*** you lying
dirty hating bytch. And just what make you think that i am trying to make Rihanna’s numbers go up you need to take your head out of that Skunks ass and breath deeply and get some air to your fukkked up brains. Its hating bytches like you who are always rying to keep s*** stirred up you are always got yo ass on a rihanna post and you have never ever said a positive note. Most of the times yo ass is on the back side of right and think others has to listen to you.
PS this is a message board and i can do what ever in the fukkk i want to and like i said go your ass right on pass my comments and take a seat in the back with the rest of those who have got something to say about what i am doing on this board
AND WAIT YO ASS BACK THERE FOR ME TO GIVE A FUKKKKK!!!!!aBOUT WHAT YOU ARE COMMENTING TO ME ABOUT…i THINK I SHOULD KNOW BETTER ARE AS WELL AS ANYBODY THAT YOU CAN’T EAT COMMENTS OR PAY FOR GAS FOR YOUR CAR WITH COMMENTS ON A COMMENT BOARD NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE COMMENTING ON YOU STUPID BYTCH AND KEEP MY NAME FROM UNDER YOUR DAM PAWES, HATING ASS LOW LIFE BYTCHE.
@MISKHA, I guess all those fans out there who are calling in an requesting the Birthday Cake remix doesn’t think it is average. I love Birthday Cake and Turn up the Music by both of them jumping on each other song, made it seem real, especially Birthday Cake, because of their past. They play Birthday Cake every 1 hour in my cit. How does a song with no itunes sales chart # 7 on the Billboard. If both fans would put their differences and hate behind them Rih and Cb could be killing the charts together than apart, which both rule their field, Rihanna with the POP chart and CB with the R & B charts, if the fans did come together they would kill all their competition.
i’m just tired you b****.
PEOPLE MOVE ON.
Seriously, what does chris brown have to do, kill himself?
Sit in a ditch And Inhale carbon monoxide for the rest of his life?
Never do music again becuz some people wanna bash? #GETALIFE
YES HE WAS WRONG 100%, but bashing people for as long as they live is not gonna get u far. im not even a fan, but i believe if one commits a sin he must ask GOD for forgiveness not Man.
it’s funny people post these messages of hate. while you on the internet posting messages chris is performing all around the world with his hit songs. how bout that.
Grow Up #OneLove
@GIRRRL She didn’t that is another way that this , that Kat
can say she hate rihanna, calling Rihanna a Racist is just another way
of Kat,,,to explain why she hate’s rihanna.
If you hate her and Chris then why in the Fukkk did you come?They wanted to say
good by to yesterday and it’s over with and done. And another thing it’s their lives
and they are the one’s who has to live it.
I agree with @Yardie… and I have a feeling he knows exactly what he is doing. People underestimate Chris… His career was on the brink of ending No one thought he could comeback except for TB. He is very clever. So it doesn’t matter what anyone says if she thinks she using him I guarantee he is doing the same. It should be interesting how the story plays out. Karma is that B*tch.
Actually Turn up the music was #2 on my pop radio stations yesterday, I guess there is a whole lot of supporters out there.
@LIFEE
exactly,everybody knows this b**** is a demonic attention seeking w**** already.Drake knows it,she treated him like s*** but he is still working with her.Go figure !!!!
Chris is the dumb one,Rih team is genuis.All the Rita vs Rih is just another stunt
@LAX
Please you talking about comments..the irony.Keep commenting hopefully goat bring you to a restaurant your bum ass couldnt efford.Keep posting you moron,you are making my girl SAM laugh all the way to the bank 😆 😆
@AUNT JACKIE
Trust,her label made sure the video had buzz even before it gets release (see the farmer story).They created the same stunt between rihanna-jay before they dropped the video and they played on Drake-rih love story before they dropped WMN.They arent fooling nobody.That video was just a try hard mess l cant belive this crappy ass song became a hit.But if starships is a hit with no video out 🙄
wow TGJ. you really hate Rhianna. Birthday Cake remix is hott!!! Its a party song. Rhianna’s music in general shouldn’t be taken seriously. It’s fun music. People are wasting too much time and energy on other’s lives. Let them both live.

There was a time I used to think like that… about Britney and Justin Timberlake. You’ll get over it too.
Yes @LAX Drag that h** out of this Rihanna post
The H** is mad that Kat Deluna is not well know and never will sell more than 100,000 albums
@Katdeluna have a seat h** in the back with the rest of the haters
Dumb b**** she should die in hell
GO SAM I LOVE YOU!
Anti-Rihanna, Anti-Demon, Anti-Talentless <3
I love you Rihanna!
“True artistry can’t be warmed up in a microwave.”
DAMN @Sam tell us how you really feel! LOL 🙂
@KAT DELUNA FAN How is Chris dumb by doing a song with Rihanna, The urban community already supports CB, he just some lost his pop fans from 2009. It actually will hurt Rihanna more than CB because what will he lose that he doesn’t already have now. Actually they both will gain from this, Rihanna will get some of the urban fans and Cb will get some of the mainstream fans. Chrisanna is growing everyday that supports both artist. I know Rihanna doesn’t want her career to be defined as a victim and DV, she probably wants people to talk about her music and support her for her music, not because you feel sorry for her.
@ LAX,,,Cosign you and i will….
@ZANIA, WELL SAID!
THIS RIGH HERE HATERS:
March 15, 2012 at 12:07 pm
@Sleazy Fans like you want to continue making it about the incident, when Rih and CB are trying to get their fans to be about their music and PEACE….
And let me add have SEVERAL damn seats –> @Sleazy
Happy F3et

________________________________________________________________-
WELL DAMN! ALL OF THIS RIGHT HERE! LOL 🙂
Yeah, no. Beyonce is one hundred million times better. Sorry Chris. You’re a good singer…in the studio and can dance well, but even if Beyonce does those two things, she seems iconic.
i am so over both of them.
@MISHKA
Dont answer,those goats saying s*** like “BC is “7 with no video out yada yada”.
Why did it charted if it’s not because of the buzz/controversy??Rih got exactly what she wanted.Where is Chris own single on the chart?
he is so stupid dude.
@LAX you got caught in your double personnality stunt smh
So LAX used to comment billions times and responding to himself.Rihanna stans are so pathetic..Talking to themselves and giving the illusion she is bringing coms to the Blog.Bum attention seeking w****
#CAUGHT 😆 😆
@ZANIA
Well,that’s the point.Behind the charts,fans or statistics ..There is people’s feelings:
-The public who supported,forgave chris
-Kae and many of the other girls Chris dated (draya..) supported him
-Chris fans who did everything to make sure Jay leave him alone.
There is people,feelings emotions involve but rih stans seem to all see the numbers in the background.Grow up @Zanie,life is more than a top10 song.
-Chris is NOT R&B!! Having r nb material does not make one rnb…it’s almost offensive!!
-Rihanna is a attention-seeker, who is on the verge of a mental breakdown, she suffers from what’s commonly known as ‘abused wife syndrome’!! He doesn’t ‘want’, or love Chris, she ‘craves’ him!! Kinda sick if you think about it…
-This whole entire ‘reunion’ was a pathetic, see through attempt to garner attention, and cause controversy, and it FAILED!! It has turned many off, but the desired effect of creating a firestorm never materialized!!
-Both artists are marginally talented AT BEST, outside of their ‘hardcore stans’, they are give, or take, so these kind of stunts are necessary, no matter how annoying they are….That’s all!!
@MISHKA
Really Britney & Justine TimberFAKE? You went there? Chris & Rihanna are completely different than the former! They would never endure the challenges the latter have and yes, “they” dragged the hell out of Britney ! Hell it was to the point that I wanted to check her birth records to make sure she wasn’t just a light-skinned black passing as white! LOL 🙂
Chris & Rihanna will rule the charts in their perspective fields one with genuine talent the other via…well you know…LOL! They were trying to move the fansbases along by doing remixes together whether or not you like the songs (I love tehe TUTM remix), that appeared to be their intentions and I think it was a good one. They can’t stop what the contolled media and racist interests groups have to say!
@Rihanna ,,,,Did you get the memo? They are saying that Jay & Bey Forbide you
to be in touch with Chris and that if you keep talking to Chris you can’t see your New Little Neice because Jayz wants Positive forces around your Neice BIC….
Dam don’t your big rothe know that you and Chris are at a Mic and not the alter as of yetWhat wold it be like if no one ever forgave all of us? Kanye and others circled the wagon and have tried to help Chrs and people no matter HIW HAR IT MIGHT BE WE DO HAVE TO fORGIVE AND TR TO fORGET. rIHANNA’S tatics aren’t always right but she is sharp and smart and she is on a mission and getting pass HER & CHRIST’S PASS IS A GREAT START. People who want her to be a role model and want her to stay bitter from no onhave got a problem, for real.
Rihanna’s FANS INCLUDING ME WAS UPSET B UT IT’S HER DECISION TO MAKE AND IT WILL BE HER BABY IF THINS GO BAD, But until it does i say LIVE AND LET LIVE….
We want Chris and Rihanna to succeed they are neded in the Arts and the Entetainmen World, and they both have got plenty to OFFER THE ARTS…
she didn’t have to say it was about forgiveness because she’s already said it. why would she say it over and over again. Now that its clear she forgave him she did the song cause he’s hot and i’m sure it was enjoyable for her. and he IS hot. you can’t deny that whether you like him or not he’s one of the most relevant people in the music industry right now. People irk me with the negativity. You all can go on being miserable and angry about what happened 3 years ago. I’m glad they are smart enough to move on. No matter what she does or says it’s going to get a negative response. As far as her talent, she absolutely talented but a song will make all the difference. and for the record her remix wasn’t backed by her label. they didn’t support it. she did it because she wanted to and good for her. these artists would be much better off if they stopped being the labels puppets.
Jay Z and Beyonce want positive forces around her MY BEHIND. All the satanic stuff they’ve gotten into. Not to mention this good girl gone bad image that was CREATED for her under Jay Z’s watch. Now they want to be mad because she’s living up to it??? Jay Z doesn’t care about this girl he cares about his pockets.
@rihanna i heard what you said but don’t
You forget Tyrese’s Song “Stay”.
@SHAWNEE,,,,Thanksfor the Positive Feed Back,
So efreshing to Read. Yeah Jay them eed to get a Grip
and stop hating on the Young Man, For Real. Rihnna &
Chris are efinitey acting like the grown up in The room.
Hmmm…best thing in R&B right now? Okay. I don’t even like their relationship and even I can see she’s hungry for what’s between his legs.
He’s dumb for making her the center of his career again. She’s dumb for pulling a stunt move and losing so much support. Now youve got folks looking at her like 1. She either lied then when he beat her ass or 2. She’s sick in the head, one of them wild women close to a breakdown. As for him…boy please, don’t lose your fanbase over this girl.
As for the music…it is what it is. She knows she’s gotta keep pumping music out, no time for a break, she knows folks will replace her if she rests, so she’s gonna go hard till she goes nuts like Britney. She already on the wig trip. Good luck RiRi…
@ KAT DELUNA FAN, If you followed CB mom, she is all about love, peace and forgiveness. When the media attack CB and still does, CB and Mombreezy practice love and forgiveness, not holding on to grudges. Rih and CB has made peace and moved on. So why are you still holding on a losing battle (war Rih VS CB fans) and both artist has moved on and she forgave him. They just want to move on from that day and they know it will follow them for the rest of their lives but they can learn from the experience and CB has learned from the experience and better himself everyday. Why are you still so emotional about the incident that happen 3 years ago and both artist has moved on. They both been practicing forgiviness, did you miss that part.
Who cares if they want to f***, left this two f*** in peace.
@I&I(yardie)
D A M N! ……I don’t whether to applaud or be mad at that statement! LOL 🙂 I think you summed it up nicely! And yes, I too get the feeling that not all “player’s hands” have been revealed!
All I want is for both artist if for them to move on with the next chapter of their lives, I am so tired of hearing about the one incident. CB has dated other women since then and all people have to go on is that one night. I just wish people would move on and let CB live his life. I don’t see Rihanna as a stupid woman, so I am sure she knows CB better than us and if she feared for her life, she would’n’t be dealing with him at all. Rihanna knows CB is sorry and she knows his heart, we knows what the media feeds us. Stop living your life through these artist and support their music.

I’m gettin real tired of TGJ puttin out lies!
Believe it or not, Rihanna duz do a lot of songwriting. I suggest u go back and read the credits 2 her albums. And yes, start w/ her very 1st album… u’ll c she has writing credits on there!
Now I’m not stan 4 her by any means, but damn, stop callin the girl talentless or sayin she has no creative involvment.
She writes, and def has a gud ear 4 music. She chooses which songs/beats work 4 her, and she makes them n2 hits.
Unlike Beyonce who u obviously think is GOD’s gift 2 earth, she duznt have 2 pay 2 have her name listed.
FYI: I like Beyonce’s music jus as much as I like Rih’s
TGJ… stop puttin da girl down. Is clear by now dat she isn’t goin newhere soon. And get back 2 me when u feel stupid afta c’n she is a writer!

@Lax and @SHAWNEE
Yes you two better PREACH!
Beyonce’s Pet Camel has some nerve opening his mouth about anything. Here we have a man who beat Foxy Brown, Amil Lions and Lord only knows how many other women he’s beaten into submission. This is he same drug dealing fool who stabbed a man and lied about it on the witness stand! This Illuminati puppet is no more than a tool of the establishment. The nerve of anyone believing that he is trying to promote positivity and gives a damn about Rihanna beyond her being a COMMODITY TO BARTER!
@SHAWNEE you said it best! Joe Camel and Company created the GGGB image and now they are mad that Rihanna has fully adopted the image! Oh well……LOL
@KAT DELUNA FAN
WTF do you stan for again? Does she sing, dance or act? STFU! Don’t talk about Chris who has far more than a pencil unless your the type of trick to have a chasm!
Have several seats __/ __/ __/
**And again, WTF is Kat Deluna 0_O?
“This from an “artist” who neither writes, produces, or has any creative involvement in the crafting of her music beyond barking the songs handed to her. This from an “artist” who’s rushed through her entire album campaign. Heck, she’s rushed through an entire career. True artistry can’t be warmed up in a microwave.”
He is definitely describing Beyonce!
Hottest r&b singer? To take a completely unbiased look at this, I’d say Usher is still hotter than Chris brown at this point. His 2010 set sold 1.4 mill while CB’s sold over 800,000 and was heralded as a “great comeback”. I just know if many other artists sold that amount the media would have labeled them a flop.
@MOBWIFE,,,,,Cosign and i will pass the Collection Plate,,, church is
over to Bible Study day after tomorrow Smiling because the devil is a Liar.
These Artist will keep making great Music and Living their Lives like it’s Golden, for sure. Waiting to see what Jay’s and Bey’s next s***** move toward Rihanna is going to be.
@CBE
“when he was crying on BET for his career we stuck with him ”
WHEN WAS THIS? I hope you don’t mean the genuine tears he shed over the death of his childhood idol, mentor, and friend Michael Jackson? 0_O
@TBOZFAN, CB had more top 10 hits on the R & B chart last year than Usher. Usher was on Billboard 100 and pop charts over the past two years. I don’t even think over the past two years Usher won any BET, Soul train or other black awards show, for R & B artist.
She better stop playing. He hasn’t even sold a million copies of his last effort. She just says anything and thinks that it’s gonna fly. She can sit all the way down. Usher >>>>>>>>>>………………..
@TBOZFAN, You said 2010, name one R & B male artist in 2011 that sold more than CB. CB and Beyonce was the only R & B artist to sell more than 700,000 last year. Usher is mainstream and he did pop and loved by the mainstream, we all know that the mainstream hasn’t forgiven CB yet. CB is the hottest R & B artist out right know. Everyone wants to colloborate with him.
RIHANNA IS A EXCELLENT RECORDING ARTIST AND GREAT CELEBRITY AND NOTHING MORE. AS AN RIHANNA FAN I ACCEPT HER FOR WHAT SHE IS AND CELEBRATE HER FOR THAT. SO FOR SAM TO SAY THAT IS JUST STUPID.
AND IN RIHANNAS DEFENSE SHE DOES PRODUCE HER MUSIC AND HAS CO-WRITTEN A Few SONGS
YES BEYONCE IS WAY BETTER PERFORMER THAN RIHANNA BUT RIHANNA FULFILLS HER PURPOSE, WHICH IS TO MAKE CATCHY AND TO ENTERTAIN US.
@Tbozfan10
This coming from a Sicki Garbarj stan? Have a seat….BUT before you do, lets clear the air shall we? Usher Raymond has receivd NOTING but positive press and media praise since Michael Jackson’s death. The establishment has been doing all it can to trick music lovers into believing Usher is the next MJ. Some have been fooled but the vast majority know better. Yes, Usher is good and so is Ne-yo. There are others who sing and dance but that just don’t have the “IT” factor Chris does like it or not! As for Ush’s CD sells, given how much he is “loved” by the media I would say his numbers should have been higher. FAME was an amazing CD not supported by the media and I highly doubt that any of Chris’ CDs from this day forward will be received well by the media. OH WELL……CB is still the best!
@Lax
“Pass the Collection Plate” indeed and remember the church is not accepting wooden nickels…LOL 🙂
You’re right the Devil is a damn liar and some of these so called “Saints” seem to be “speaking with a forked tongues” too! 🙂
they haters talk more about her than anybody else!!!!!!!! i mean for people who don’t like her and think her fans are idiots why are you going back and forth with them? lol too much
oh YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i want every body who was on the first post about the songs to pay close attention now!! we are now in MARCH coming up close to a month now since the remixes have dropped!! now please tell me what are the repracussions (misspelled) i mean they said her career is over, she is stil selling in fact she even had a sales increase, she did another 50k this week on global charts so exactly how is she fading and where is the end of her career because i dont see it.
@Mobwife Yes I was talking about the BET Awards,I dont understand why you had to reply like that it just shows you did not read my sentence properly to understand it.
yes he cried! nowhere did I mention who he was crying for but I will explain myself anyway,since you know he was crying for michael jackson you should also know he was singing “man in the mirror” now combine MJ and him singing that song and he crumbled because the words cut deep so thats why I say he cried about his career.
@LAX
I HONESTLY THINK THAT RIHANNA IS SO WELL RECIEVED BECAUSE OF WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT HER “GOAT LIKE VOCALS”
RIHANNA AND KATY PERRY HAVE VERY UNIQUE SOUNDING VOCALS. THEY DONT TRADITIONAL SINGING VOICES LIKE ADELE, BEYONCE, AND ALEXANDRA BROKE-MAN.
BUT SO SAY THE CANT SING IS OPINION-BASED
P.S I THINK RIHANNA HAS MORE TALENT THAN KATY PERRY
@CBE
My point is that his tears were about MJ but the media twisted it up (as they always do) to be a selfish ploy pulled by Chris for sympathy and it clearly was not!
I am concerned about the “new found friendship” with Rihanna but I trust he knows what he is doing. They are not mad or angry with each other and I think that’s what they were trying to express by collaborating. Time will tell if a certain someone had other motives. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *kanye shrug*
“This whole stunt was an epic flop. They thought people cared more than people do. People moved on before this. It wasn’t “shocking”, it was annoying. The songs sucked, and neither are going to number one.”

@Auntie Jackie
Those remixes didn’t flop.
A) they were never released for sales
B) Birthday Cake charted in the 60’s on BB Hot 100 based on airplay alone
C) TUTM remix is played on my pop radio station almost exclusively when CB’s TUTM gets spins.
D) Two weeks after the remixes dropped, Rihanna’s TTT album surged in the US from #14 to #9 with an added boost of 7K more albums sold than the previous week.
E) Rihanna didn’t lose any endorsements. She’s in NY shooting a new ad campaign for Vita Coco as we speak, last week Armani released her new commercial, and the new trailer for Battleship with lots of close-ups of Ri just dropped.
Flop? Me thinks not.

Warmed up in a microwave???…sounds like 90% of these underwritten articles from Thatgrapejuice.net. Your writers should NEVER criticize anyone’s creativity, or lack there of. This is an opinion blog/ tabloid. The industry is laughing at you too.

yo check this out…
@ V_Fansz cool bruh. whosz dis? he sounds good.
@ V_Fansz that cool.. he’s kind of cute :p
@BARBIE
YUCK B**** YOU HAVE NO TASTE
You say Usher isn’t as hot an r&b artist as Chris brown but musically he has just as much r&b on his last albums as CB did. CB has a bunch of dance tunes too. So at the end of the day Usher is still selling better than Chris. Therefore he is a hotter r&b artist right now.
@TBOZFAN10
NO SWEETIE GIVE UP, USHER IS AS PLAYED OUT AS YOUR FAVS WIGS.
R U REALLY GONE TELL ME THAT USHER IS HOTTER THAN CHRIS BROWN???
DELUSIONAL B****
………………………….IM JUST SAYING
Kinda stupid to compare Usher and Chris Brown if you consider the fact that Usher has no media backlash. Kinda glad these two had the sense to make these records, it explains why they are the artists and we are the fans. They took back control by bringing the art back in to their career.
both of them and their stans need to go away. i liked rihanna, but im tired of her publicity stunts. i guess thats what you have to do when you have no real, long term talent. and mobwife, when MJ died Chris was the one doing tributes all the time to make people feel sympathy and revive his career. he never went platinum so i dont see why his stans are bitching.
Hey “ri and bey united” if I’m delusional I guess so are the people who buy records because the fact is ushers last set sold double that of CB. “F.A.M.E.” sold 800,000 copies. That is good but it certainly Isnt on fire by any measure.
The bottom line is Chris Brown writes, produces, & performs most of his OWN music. Rihanna has the image & the unique voice but she has 0 talent!! CB wrote “Umbrella” and many of her songs on Good Girl Gone bad! Check the stats! So she has much more to gain than him. She is using him and if he falls for it he is an idiot. Personally all I care about is the music. F*** the other b*******. Whether he hits her or not doesnt get me paid! Obviously he isn’t a “woman beater” because lil Karreuche looks happy as hell & probably wants Rihanna to leave her man alone and find her own. Not to mention he also dated the farrell from Basketball wives that had nothing but goid things to say about him. So that Dumb b**** Rihanna needs to move along & let him live his life. Smh
Reading these comments really let me know how f-up people lives really are talking about 2 people that ya’ll do not know personally but reading these comments I would think that ya’ll lived in the same hood and is best friends with these two. What it all boils down to is ya’ll need to MIND YOUR OWN b/c ur life too is not the best, take care of yourself b4 you judge others no one in this world is perfect and everyone has done something wrong at least once. I love their songs together they make good music and that is what its really suppose to be about THE MUSIC not their personal lives.
