Rihanna & Chris Brown: A New Beginning Or the Beginning of the End?

Published: Monday 20th Feb 2012 by Rashad

Blonde bombshells Rihanna and Chris Brown dropped not one, but two bombs on fans when remixes to their two new singles exploded onto the net today.  Possibly baking up a backlash, their joint ventures – ‘Birthday Cake’ and ‘Turn Up the Music‘ – have certainly turned up something.  What, however, has yet to be fully realized.

Sweeping headlines at this very moment, the two have teased their recorded reunions for the past few weeks.  The hype was introduced when Da Internz, co-producers of the sizzling Rihanna interlude, first informed fans the number would be revamped into a full length song and its tapped co-star would “shock the world”.

And, though spectators later put the clues together, many wrote the speculation off as mere ‘publicity stunts’ given the severity of the incident that tore them apart just three years prior.  Said incident also led Brown to a near blacklisting, causing the failure of his ‘Graffiti’ album that same year.

Fast forward – both singers’ careers were undoubtedly changed by the incident.  Even for better or worse, both Ri and Brown now see themselves at the top of their respective games.  After Billboard urged the songstress not to collaborate with Chris, could this stunt be a publicity stunt that went a few steps too far?

Some may argue that Brown nor Fenty had to be in the same physical location to record the songs.  While true, that does not consider promotion of the songs (which the publicity alone will do), acceptance of prospective award nominations/wins, nor any potential live performances.

Once the posterchild for domestic violence, will the legions of fans Ri won over with her self proclaimed strength and return to music feel betrayed by this reunion?  Or is it simply time to move on and allow their personal lives and relationships be just that…personal? The reunion, as we all speculated, was going to happen one way or the other.  But, is it too soon?

For two of the hottest tracks to surface in some time, this heat – this firestorm of publicity that will surround the tracks, will come at a burning price.  Rihanna is playing ‘Russian Roulette’ with her career.

Is this a new beginning?  Or the beginning of the end for both stars?

Your thoughts?

    Twisting the knife? Kinda tacky but also very “you”. #kanyeshrug

  2. Izzy February 20, 2012

    It’s the beginning of I DON’T GIVE A F***! let them two live their lives! Ppl get beat everyday and go right back to the abuser! & let’s be honest Rihanna prob be beating his ass to! I love both the songs though but it may be tough for her since the whites and media made her a poster for abuse o_0

  3. RihannaNavy February 20, 2012

    rihanna could say goodbye to her loyal fans who been there for her and her career and go back to Barbados. she’s done!

  4. NIka February 20, 2012

    Let ppl BE, damn. It won’t be the “past” if ppl keep bringing it up. If SHE is okay with doing WHATEVER with him,….shhh, wait for it – it is HER damn business. Both tracks, HAWT and I am NOW more of a Rihanna fan, lol.

  5. PamB February 20, 2012

    I don’t see the big deal. These two are entainers and this is entertaining. On the other had this may be RiRi saying “I forgive Chris” which I think is great and we should do the same.

  6. Matty February 20, 2012

    These two are such losers. They see themselves as being so cool/hawt, but look how hard they try. F*ck sad. It’ll Help Chris, but Rihanna is rather quickly sliding into Ke$ha-ville. If Rihanna was an artist and not a marketing team, this might be a break through. But since she’s not personally artistic, it just shows shes a statistic; another abused women moulded to think she can’t do any better. She’s sad. He’s talented tho.

  7. Matty February 20, 2012

    @PAMB
    It might be, but the songs are fluff/electronic dance sh*t. Maybe if it were a powerful balled, or something with an actual message, but it’s not. It’s just s*** music (which is fun, not saying it’s not fun), but it’s nothing powerful. Rihanna’s a fool who has no control over her career and did it for either the pay check, or because she’s still loves Chris and wants to get it back. Either way. Let ppl live their lives, but I sure as hell don’t want my 15 year old sister lookin at dis h** thinkin’ she’s something special or a role model. Cause she ain’t. She’s weak.

  8. Sam I Am February 20, 2012

    At long last this silly barbadian ho has ended her own career. no longer will i have to be subjected by her goat like vibrato, talentless lipsyncing, no stage presence having, stiff statue like dancing ass!

    YES! Prayers have been answered! Deport this ho back to barbados and let her pick coconuts for the rest of her life. my ear drums are doing a praise dance as we speak!

  9. Jordan February 20, 2012

    I honestly don’t even know anymore lol

  10. geeeeeesssss February 20, 2012

    theyre acting like some big kids
    all this kiddy ish
    their
    stans got to be between the ages of 13-19

  11. voneeluv February 20, 2012

    never liked her ass before she got beat down don’t like her even more now!
    these people use their pathetic situations to manipulate these young people minds and benefit their own careers. one minute she wants to be a role model to young girls, next she smoking weed which is illegal, now this. see when you lack vocal ability you have to resort to gimmicks like theses to help sell your product. all this for the sake of increase sales and industry buzz about a single. it ‘s a win win for chris don’t know and riri.

  12. MH February 20, 2012

    The thing that makes me mad is the fact that Rihanna made the whole situation SUCH a big deal during the Rated R era and now she has turned around and collaborated with him. I really think this can harm her career because to be honest a lot of people started liking her more after she got beat up, she was looked at as a victim. The people that were once behind her because of the domestic violence situation will now not support her anymore because they look at her as a hypocrite.

  13. RATEDX( LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT BOUGHT) February 20, 2012

    I honestly think people are making too much of a big deal about this…

    who didnt know they were still f****** after the incident?

    the only backlash rihanna is going to recieve is from her fans, and females who feels its ok to hit a men, but its domestic violence when men hit their asses back..

    or those female groups who hadnt had a d*** in their cooch since dinosaurs roam the earth..

  14. JER February 20, 2012

    i have NEVER seen such GORL f** queen drama. ALL from hater PRESSED stans of BeYAWNce. ETERNALLY pressed on Rihanna since 2006. I can’t and neither can you b****** the EXTENT OF THE JEALOUSY for Rihanna. ThatBeYAWNceJuice doens’t even STIR S*** anymore, you MAKE UP S***. You’ve truly come full circle, Sam. I remember you trying to promote your blog on all the forums back in the day, Hip-Hop, Pulse, UkMix, the Janet Jackson Forum. You tried DESPERATELY to class it up and act like a big boi blog but you are just ghetto trash. Always coming for Rihanna like the psycho BeYAWNce stan you are. FLY YOUR COACH ASS back to the UK and have all the seats b****. Rihanna has been shining since she snatched BACK the weave BeYAWNce stole from Jennifer Lopez in 2003 (YES) which is just the BUTTERFLY wig J.Lo snatched from Mimi in ’98. T b****!!!! Yal just mad Rihanna has been CLASSY in a way BeYAWNce never could the way BeYAWNce tried to ring LeToya and LEtavia back in the day talking S*** saying they broke up Destiny’s Child B**** PLEASE when they kicked them out the group BIONCI has been lying since day one and TACKY, TASTELESS, Houston trash. Rihanna can and will and DID mend her relationship with Chris Brown, move on. No press releases required . No L’Oreal ads required. No cheap clothing lines required. NO FAKE BABYBUMPS REQUIRED. Just the hottness and the real. T-off b******

  15. Mhope718 February 20, 2012

    In a positive light it should elevate both their careers…it shows that they are mature and have moved on. I don’t know why people are constantly referring to him as an abuser…this incident only occur once. If she was to go back and it happen again than you all can categorize him as an abuser. It’s obvious that he may have learned and she did as well. Let them live their life and enjoy what they do…make music and luv each other!!! No relationship or anyone is perfect, we live, learn, and move on…wisdom is the key t o life, which is develop through understanding and experiences!!!

  16. Those That Cannot Do…Stan February 20, 2012

    Sam, if you really have to ask that question you need only wait till tomorrow when all the talk shows start in.

    ALL the people who interviewed her, ALL the talk shows that discussed abuse, ALL the claims she made about not wanting to influence any other girl.

    Boy, they will put her head with that shaggy blond head on a pike. Shaking my head, but if you follow Twitter Rihanna and Chris both come off as lacking in the intelligence department so I can hardly be that shocked.

    I thought someone would hold her (at least since she had the protection of victim status) back from doing this but maybe Roc Nation wants her to crash and burn. They are signing Rita Oro and Ri hasn’t given them a #1 album yet.

    All I know is I’m going to be eating popcorn through this whole mess.

  17. Aishaaguilerakeys February 20, 2012

    Honestly, I don’t care. I still listen to both their music anyway. Sure, when I first heard news of their collab I was shocked, but then I was like, “Whatever.”

  18. Nat February 20, 2012

    Both of their fan bases are young…so they won’t even give a crap. I honestly wish they would actually take time to consider the impact of what they’re doing. You don’t have to be perfect, but c’mon this is just sad. Whatever, like I said, most of their fans don’t care, and they will continue to be successful.

  19. MichaelAngelo February 20, 2012

    I’m all for the healing to begin. Beginning of a good future for them both.

  20. SHESDUMB February 20, 2012

    YOU CANT HOLD ON TO THINGS FOREVER, THE KEY TO HAVING A HAPPY LIFE IS TO FORGIVE, BUT NEVER FORGET. IF RIHANNA IS FORGIVING CHRIS BROWN THEN WE ALL SHOULD. THERE SHOULD BE NO BACKLASH, JUST ENJOY THE SONG. IM GLAD THEY DID IT. RIHANNA IMPRESSED ME FOR ONCE.

  21. Licious February 20, 2012

    Chris will rise and Rihanna will fall. Not sure why but men never get judged when this type of s*** happens. It’s definitely a double standard. Sigh. And I’m a Rihanna stan. Guess we’ll wait and see. I do love the Birthday Cake Remix though!

  22. Kelly February 20, 2012

    Their decision to collaborate on music will cause a stir for a minute, but inevitably will force people to move on. It is 2012 not 2009, the media and blogs sites are so far behind the curve. Are they a couple, no. Friends, yes. About their business, always. The music is on point for both artists and remixes!

  23. Jasmine February 20, 2012

    If Rihanna (the victim) can forgive why can’t the public forgive him also. What is going to happen when he is 30 or 40? Is he still going to be scrutinized for something he did in his late teens? I’m not saying forget, but it is good to forgive him and use what happened as a caution for his future relationships and a strong sign he needs help for anger management (ie he gets heated quick). I’ve always wondered why I never heard any counselors reach out publicly to help Chris for his problems just a bunch of haters that put him down but do not offer him any advice or help.

  24. Rihanna and Chris are deranged, demanted individuals. They both can stay mad. February 20, 2012

    I never liked Rihanna.

    Her music is extremely wack and useless, she is not talented in any way shape or form, her voice sounds annoying to my ears.

    Rihanna always came across as very stupid, in my opinion. This abomination of a remix just helps to confirm the fact that Rihanna is indeed a dumb, empty-headed person. In her mind though… Rihanna probably thinks she’s being so edgy and controversial in a cool, awesome way…

    This remix is nothing but an ugly, embarrassing catastrophe.

    Rihanna and Chris Brown are both desperate imbeciles. They both probably suffer from some severe mental problem, also.

  25. WHUT February 20, 2012

    Those that cannot stan
    “All I know is I’m going to be eating popcorn through this whole mess.”
    ————————————————————————————————————
    ^Likewise. I just don’t use self inflicted f**** especially with stubbornness attached.

    ..and I agree with most you said cept the RocNation wanting her to crash and burn. Lets be honest she is the only sure success they have..or had on the roster.No one else besides Jay was doing anything for them.

    All ends up I just think they are beyond incompetent.I think they were operating under the adage all publicity being good and are unaware of the huge s*** they just stepped in.

    In her case I think she wanted the track out of rebellion in her mind of peeps wanting her to hate him forever, which she doesn’t and that’s fine no f**** to give about that. Just don’t be silly and not think you wont not crucified to mars and back especially cause of the song you chose collaborate on.

    As I said the era is over. The thing is the album had about 2 more sure 1s, “Where have you been” was a sure fire no. Oh well.

  26. riri February 20, 2012

    Ok, let go back to the real world. Chris will have little backlash BUT rihanna will have a huge backlash. People will see her as a hypocrite after that 20/20 interviews (which was ALL over the news). People will never forget her face that was published all over the internet.

    Rihanna is 24 and hasn’t matured yet. God help her during the backlash.

    She is FINISHED!

  27. WHUT February 20, 2012

    *fuckups

  28. haterzstaypressed February 20, 2012

    Umhmm, and the Chris Brown/Rihanna stans had the audacity to try and drag me the other day for telling the damn truth. LOL.

    All I gotta say is backlash. Just wait for it… Rihanna will never be taken seriously as an artist again. Chris Brown is just Chris. Expectation is low for him so it can’t exactly hurt him now, can it?

    BLECH 😆

    Oh BTW, why does this Birthday Cake song sound like Beyonce’s Video Phone? Ah well… lol.

  29. Rihanna and Chris are deranged. February 20, 2012

    If somebody punched me really hard in the face, I’d NEVER in my life want to collaborate on a song and do business with that person and help them make money.

    I mean WTF. Are some people really stupid enough to do anything for cake sh*t? This is the biggest f*cking mess. People can’t think for 5 seconds. These clowns are disgusting trolls.

  30. commanderofthedancefloor February 20, 2012

    haha their careers are far from over!! if people bought music because rihanna was suppose to be poster child for domestic assault then why did rated r sell 3.5 million while loud sold 6.5 million??? where were all these people?? they didnt support her then by buying it and they havent done it now the people who buy her music is fans and people who just like what is on that album!! she is just starting and i am loving it all this will be what everyone will talk about for the rest of the year!

  31. Shady1 February 20, 2012

    Rihanna is officially done! She did an interview talking about how badly he beat her every chance she got and how she wanted to be a role model for young girls to get away from their abusers…yet she does two duets with hers. She is dumb as hell and when he beats her til she blacks out again we will be have “Funeral Cake” instead of “Birthday Cake”. As for Chris Brown, he comes out of this situation like the pimp b/c he whooped her ass and still gets to sing with her…on her end this just looks ridiculous. Domestic Violence is not funny–I have had a close relative die at the hands of her boyfriend and everybody told her he was a “good man” and to go back to him….there may not be a next time for a lot of women there certainly wasnt one for my cousin. Do not think because CB is cute and talented that we should “get over it”.

  32. Justathought (Azealia Banks is coming…) February 20, 2012

    I really don’t know what to say or think. I do wish the song that they decided to collaborate on was strictly about s**. It just doesn’t seem to fit in light of what happened between them. I do wish them both the best tho ( even tho I’m not a fan of Rihanna’s or Chris’s music at all) . Tmz didn’t waste anytime by posting a birthday cake with Rihanna’s abused face on it Smh

  33. Justathought (Azealia Banks is coming…) February 20, 2012

    I meant wasn’t strictly about s****

  34. RATEDX( LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT BOUGHT) February 20, 2012

    @WHUT

    dont you believe in forgiveness? people make mistakes, and people do change..

    if rihanna forgave chris, why cant you do the same?

    he made 1 mistakes, he took a fight too far..yes he f***** up..but thats up to rihanna to forgive him, not us

    he doesnt owe us s***……i think u are beeing a little too harsh….he paid his dues..

  35. kody3x February 20, 2012

    chris brown WHY would you do a song with this fame w**** she dont care about you bro she made that clear in 2009

  36. Ready for the world February 20, 2012

    I KNEW I wasn’t the only one who got a a BEYONCE VIDEO PHONE vibe . This imitation sheep fur. Also , a little tangent but Chris is not attractive when you stare in his eyes.
    Anywho , never was completely here for miss ri (except for SOS & only girl ) that goat voice is torture & I certainly don’t get nothing from this techno Chris #BOL

  37. RATEDX( LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT BOUGHT) February 20, 2012

    she did not black out….she said that in that 20/20 interview..i wish people would stop with all this hes a monster b*******..

    he kicked her ass one time, and people are acting like he was beating her ass on the regular..

    i believe she did all these interviews because they were trying to sell an album, and rihanna wanted to get back at chris for the text..

    i dont believe rihanna is innocent in all this..she threw him under the bus, to get back at him..

    again its their life to live..i still will support rihanna and chris….

  38. WHUT February 21, 2012

    @Rated

    I was over the situation a long time ago. He is living his life, making music winning a grammy and not a f*** was given on my end. Does he still have anger issues? Yes Are you downplaying what he did to her? Yes. But I honestly harbor or hold no resentment towards him cause she forgave him. I mean was pretty much fully over it and pretty much indifferent to him and his career.

    …..then the rumors of this remix started up.

    I’m one to always look at the optics when it comes to myself in general and anyone I care about. The optics in this case are f***** up royally for my fave. I frankly don’t care what anyone says otherwise. If you examine this situation all ends up there is only one loser here. Then you’d have to ask the question why would I want my fave to lose? Even if her intentions were to show the world its time to move on baby girl on a song like Cake? Just makes no sense.

    I gave props to his team all night cause the only winner in this situation is him. His fanbase the same ones begging him to beat them on twitter will say, “See? Chris was the victim all along!” “Bee knew that s***”

    The media will tear her limb from limb. Does it pleasure me to say this? Nope, but it is what it is at this point. I cant change a thing just like I cant change the backlash that’s coming and its not really harsh its being pretty realistic tbh. We’ll see how they handle it. #kanyeshrug

  39. A Nu Day Has Come February 21, 2012

    What’s so f***** up is that, none of you can see that, if Rhianna, Or CB gave a f*** about you her fan base, she wouldn’t even go near this guy! Yes it was the past, yes she is grown and can do whatever she wants, but as her fans, she is saying f*** you, keep buying my s***! I hope that a protest comes, as a result as her actions, And yet we buy things from you, people spend their hard earned change to make you richer! This is not a post about gossip, this is a post about how these artist don’t care about the music, but making more money! Yes this is their job, but at the same time you have power, influence over people, and yet you tell people to kiss your ass??? Well if the public would stop buying your poisonous music, then maybe your tune would change! I understand these are two grown adults but yet Rhianna you really state how you feel to your females fans by letting this clown back in your life!! She can forgive him, but baby girl your career is about to drop off the face of the earth, because to be completely honest you never could sing in the first place, keep it 100%!!!!! Has she once even taken the time to address domestic violence issues, has she once taken the time to visit other battered women that have gone through similar situations!! This girl her really has pissed me off, him too!!! But yet people like phoney ass artist!! So sad, and most of you let your children look up to these fools!! This is sad, with Whitney gone, how in the f*** can we just let s*** music like this continued to get played???!

    You people smoke f****** crack!!!

  40. riri February 21, 2012

    . Yes, you DID hear Rihanna sing on Chris’ song “I love you baby.” And Chris sings on Rih’s song, “Girl I wanna f*** you right now. Been a long time, I’ve been missing you body!”

    That is f***** up! It is definitely over for her.

  41. RATEDX( LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT BOUGHT) February 21, 2012

    @WHUT

    ive never downplay the situation…..you never heard me say once rihanna deserved to get her ass kicked that night..

    ive said many times chris took his anger on her too far that night, yes he kicked her ass..he took it too far..

    ive said, rihanna is NOT innocent on that night, i dont believe chris just snapped for no reason that night….

    you cant use his dumb ass fans who blames rihanna as an excuse to be angry at chris…..i dont have a twitter account, because i couldnt give two shits about my favs personal life..

  42. irene46 February 21, 2012

    no damn body knows what went on in the car that night. from what rihanna says about herself she’s an ass-kicker too. she said she hit her brother over the head with a bottle once. maybe she jumped on chris out of jealousy and got the worst of it.

    anyway if she wants to slam the sheets again with chris it’s none of any body’s freakin’ business but hers.

    i’m so sick of this friggin’ double standard for chris while charlie sheen has pulled worst sh!t several times.

  43. RATEDX( LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT BOUGHT) February 21, 2012

    @WHUT

    yes chris f***** up…..but he paid his dues..unless he goes out and beat the s*** out of another woman, than i can sit here and call him a monster..

    i dont believe rihanna told the whole thruth of what happened that night..she told us what she thought people wanted to hear..she did it out of anger and for album sales…

    u claimed hes playing the victim? how? when he has never once said anything negative about rihanna since 2009….since 2009 rihanna has used chris name in every interview..

    my thing is, both have anger issues as u can see from rihanna calling people c**** b******, so on both have acted an ass on twitter..not just chris….

    again, my comments are coming from both point of view..im not being biased to any of them since i like both of them

  44. RATEDX( LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT BOUGHT) February 21, 2012

    @WHUT

    do u honestly think rihanna just sat there and took a beating ?

    the same woman who admitted to hitting her brother on the head with a bottle…

    the same woman who admitted she doesnt like nice guys, she like dudes who takes control, who will get rough with her..look that up,,,

    neyo even came out and said he used to seeing them fight with each other….that night chris snapped and took it too far..im sorry rihanna had her ass kicked..but shes not a domestic violence victim..

  45. WHUT February 21, 2012

    @Rated Read my post again. I’m far from angry @ him. I’m indifferent to him. Still am. I only mentioned his fans in reference to a mindset that they have and how they will spin these remixes. He is the winner here.

    Btw never said he snapped for no reason and she isn’t a saint, but it still doesn’t defend how much he went in on her that night. It’s also understandable why when a man beats a woman like that some would consider him a monster.

    I don’t have twitter either but saw the tweets his fans made on another blog. Sam ofc wouldn’t post them cause he is a CB stan. I also don’t care about personal s***, my comments tonight were all about these remixes as a career move for my fave. A move in my mind was a pretty big f*** up but we’ll see.

  46. WHUT February 21, 2012

    By victim I simply mean how he acts like how dare people even remember the incident even occurred. Smashing windows @ GMA interview, f****** up the studio, constant clownish twitter rants etc. Like it or not people some wont just wake up and forget the incident happened. It will forever haunt him and his explosions are purebred victimized behavior, which isn’t justified.

    I’m not gonna rehash the night anymore. I’m over it. His fans will believe people are too harsh on him and some others will think he is a monster. It is what it is.

  47. RATEDX( LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT BOUGHT) February 21, 2012

    @WHUT

    i said chris has act an ass on twitter..hell both of them has…

    yes i think it was stupid of him to through a chair out of a window….

    ive said many times chris has alot of anger issues..i’m not making excuses for his action….

    he has apologized over and over again for what happen that night, he took all the blame, never said anything negative about rihanna..he paid his dues..for the rest of his life hes going to be known as a monster…which is unfair….because it was a fight wich rihanna lost..

    what else would u like him to do?

    the only person that needs to forgive him, is rihanna, and she has..if rihanna has move on, why cant her fans move on..

  48. KD February 21, 2012

    Wow…I am still reeling from the dual release yesterday…people will do just about anything for notoriety…Rihanna is clearly trying her damnedest to become the black Madonna and sadly she is…watch Birthday Cake break all sorts of records.

  49. RATEDX( LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT BOUGHT) February 21, 2012

    @whut

    chris never played the victim…….he responded to people who stays bringing up a mistake he made 3 years ago..

    he didnt kill, r*** or murder anybody..he got into a fight with his girlfriend, and he toook it to far by beating the s*** out of her..

    its none of our business whether or not chris and rihanna goes public…

    if rihanna can move on, people needs to move the f*** on too….

    there are more s*** out there people need to focus on…..its been 3 years, so u guys going to hate him for the rest of ur life, even though, it has s*** to do with u guys?

    people needs to stop investing their life into their favs personal lives..

  50. Ass February 21, 2012

    Cosign @Whut and @Riri

    This is only gonna serve to hurt Rihanna. Like I said from talk shows from “the view” to the evening news to oprah herself, I see thi s*** blowing up in Rih’s face.

    Why would Chris be blamed? It’s gonna seem like Rihanna is “going back for more”. That’s the way it will be spun, and I already see the witch hunt with parent/decency councils, and burning of CDs and photos. All at Rih’s expense.

    Like @Whut said this is genius on the part of team breezy! I’m also indifferent to him. If the want to f*** fine. But she is showing herself to be a hypocrite for the words she spoke on 20/20 about not wanting to be responsible for other girls deaths. They are watching you, and how you pulled this 180.

    I don’t know no matter what she comes out smelling like s***. And the dude gets high fives.

    I’ve seen this movie before, but with different casts through the years…..

  51. MISHKA February 21, 2012

    To answer the question, only time will tell.

    But what I’m getting from what Chris and Rihanna, it’s that they are not in for legendary status. “They just want to make music and money”, as they would say.

    Rihanna was on her way to get rid of the “beaten girlfriend” image but she ruined Jay-Z’s and Roc Nation’s efforts in 24 hours.

    Chris Brown’s career will never be what it was during his ‘Forever’ days but since he can’t even sing anymore, I guess his plan is to make all the $$$ he can before he gets too old or before somebody takes his spot.

    Right now, they are 24 and 22, they are at the top of their game, so let them be. But those celebrities need to understand is: YOU CAN’T F*** WITH THE MEDIA. Famewhoring with the media ALWAYS backfires.

    Britney Spears did it when she was with K-Fed, it backfired.
    Jennifer Lopez did it when she was dating Ben Affleck , it backfired.
    Beyonce (although she’s my fave) did it by showing her belly at the VMAs, it backfired.
    Michael Jackson did it during the 90s, it backfired.
    Lady Di did it when she started dating Dodi, it backfired, to say the least.

    Chris and Rihanna, I don’t care about the nonsense you’re tweeting, you CAN’T f_ck the media. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Your lambo fight is OFFICIALLY pop culture now. Since you don’t care, the media will milk on it, regardless of your feelings and your fanbases.

    You both made your relationship the highlight of your careers, what Britney and Justin refused to do. Let’s see how it’s gonna work.

    I am not a Rihanna stan, so I will support good music from her, if I like it.

    This whole thing is on her and Chris. I was just pointing out the problems with this decision, but it makes me no never mind, just makes her look a bit silly for her previous comments on their relationship.

    Hopefully what I see happening won’t come to fruition, but I doubt it.

    Let’s all sit back an see how this all pans out in the long term…

    @Whut, @Yellow Gorilla and @Riri CO-MUTHA-EFFIN-SIGN! It’s nice to see fans that are not brain dead! Good for you. I was never a part of the navy (thank God), but she’s gonna lose a whole boat load of fans.

    She has no room now to b**** and moan about Chris cheating/beating her bcoz she ran back. I dont like Jay z but I feel for him and roc nation. I mean all that work…But I’m guessing her star is fading now time to bring on Rita….

  60. Nieka February 21, 2012

    I like both songs ri ri is coming for queen b status lol the only problem I have is with fake fans n the racist ass media people it is just music nothing more or less people are too invested in their personal life that they r taking this way too personal. If u care some much about dv help at women shelter or help
    in your community until
    then shut da f*** up you are not trying to make a situation better for Tonya Lisa or Kim so don’t sit here n pretend you are so much about the message the being brought from music. A great message starts from you bot Rihanna nor Chris if Chris hit kayla from down the street no one would give a damn. But since it someone you Stan for it’s a problem? The real problem are not Chris and Rihanna the problem is happening down the street or next door but people are soo focus on couple because of the status you can’t get off your ass and help thevlady next door I’m gladd Chris n rig mind f*** you fickle ass fans

  61. kimberly February 21, 2012

    NEIKA SHUT YOUR ASS

    Anyway I think that rihanna fail her fans especially those who were rooting for her fromm the burst face era. I have never been abused, never nad if i was a victim I would never make a song with the person who did that. She should show the forgiving part but the messages and the rumors are now proven true. She has had sexual intercourse with chris since the incident and i will nto be naive about it. She doesn’t care about her fans but her money”mind on my money, money on my mind”
    With that being said how can someone like that influence or inspire you to be a better individual?
    I guess now we can hope to see her smile more and cut the home stretch to barbados.

  62. Real Music 101 February 21, 2012

    I don’t think Chris is a good guy, (I want him to be) but i fear that he is not.
    In 2009 he beat up his girlfriend. In 2012 disrespects his current girlfriend in a major fashion all over Twitter and all over his music. And in between all of this he has b**** fits on twitter and during interviews.
    Karrueche needs to leave his ass and Rihanna needs to move on (in all aspects) now that she has forgiven him, be happy with someone that deserves her.

  63. YELLOW.MELLOW February 21, 2012

    @nieka what are you going on about? :/ really? Please proof read your ish before you click the “submit comment” button.

    Truth is, career wise this chick will not be taken seriously anymore. She does not realise that fans only go so far. Your record label/execs/managers CONTROL YOU. Once you have signed on the dotted line say goodbye to your life beacuse as long as they are giving you album advancement checks, are booking you on shows, getting you one the cover of magazines then you better kiss their ass.

    Rihanna got to were she is now thanks to a powerful marketing team NOT HER TALENT. She pretty much spat in their faces. Be careful Rihanna….If the kitchen was to hot for you to begin with you could have stayed at home instead of sucking and jiving with Jay Z…

  64. YELLOW.MELLOW February 21, 2012

    one more thing : if they can make you, THEY CAN BREAK YOU. Especially when your no longer an asset to them! Look at Micheal Jackson, Whitney Houston, R Kelly etc, they all effed up and look what the media did to them….

  65. Lourdes February 21, 2012

    Y’all need to get some lives and some seats. If they want to work together, FINE! We all knew they were still seeing each other. You can’t just END a relationship over night (regardless of u getting your ass beat or not). I’m not a big fan of either, but I’m sure something happened in that car that we will never know about. Rihanna was coached HEAVILY during that time. I’m sure lawyers and publicists from both sides made deals to save Rihanna’s image. It sucks that people are comparing her to Tina turner. She was not beat constantly. It happened once. I’m not for domestic violence, but Rihanna clearly did something to that guy. Soooooooo with that being said, I prefer the Cake snippet to the remix lol. I love CB’s song.

  66. Angie February 21, 2012

    I personally love that Rihanna and Chris have collaborated. I think it’s Rihanna’s way of proclaiming that she has forgiven Chris. He has been depicted as a villian for the last 3 years. Enough is enough. Let these two youngs stars enjoy their success.

  67. WHUT February 21, 2012

    @Yellow Rita Ora is under Rocnation. They’ll f*** up with her too, that’s even if she gets off the ground.

    I don’t blame you and others that are over her tho. Coming to a site like this, going hard in the paint and heck maybe even changing a perception or two along the way only for your fave to undo do it all in one night is pretty much what’s happen. It’s win to lose in an instant and all self inflicted.

    I’m not even mad tho tbh. Made my stance on the whole thing clear and could see the obvious backlash all in her direction so just watching it come to past now. Take a look a the sites so far and see who everyone is taking apart. The only thing that’s is semi-annoying is this mess coming off the back of what was by all accounts a smash Grammy performance and fashion showing. Thought the era was about to kick into full gear and now its done already. #kanyeshrug.

  68. Yessssssssssss February 21, 2012

    Rihanna’s report on what happened that night and her Actions are Conflicting. I know Chris beat her and he is wrong for that, but what really happened that night? She lied about something else!

    Who in their right mind, when they have protection from a Court and Bodyguards around them 24/7 lowers that Order and reunites with the person who Beat them, all along singing songs about S&M and liking that kind of s** and treatment.

    I say Rihanna’s guilt from lying about the events that surrounded the beating Consumed her and she is back with Chris 2 yrs earlier than the Court had advised! I think she regrets that the Police got involved but she has wanted Chris back from the day she went back with him by P Diddy’s house but it wud have been Career S******!

    Open ur eyes and see her trends and actions. She Reached out to Chris repeatedly. I hope Chris knows that if he chooses to cheat on her again or stay with Karucche and Rihanna cries Wolf, he is going to Prison so He has a lot more to Lose than Rihanna, since she is the person we know as the Victim.

  69. QueenSize February 21, 2012

    First off both songs SUCK! Very bad decision to collaborate. If they were going to do this they should of started with a BET or MTV special in which they discussed what happened, how they got over it, and forgiveness and s***. Of course Chris can’t do it because he has a bad temper and he might have threw a chair and broke a window. Again. They are both in their 20s, they are rich, life is very fast pace around them and they think they got life down to a science. Wrong wrong wrong. I want to know who is Rihanna’s PR team because they need to be fired. Her star has dwindled as soon as these songs dropped. Does she realize how big of a star she is? How the young world idolizes her? Bad move baby girl. You got a lot to learn. His Grammy was for his music and for ratings not to reconnect on a professional and personal level with you. You will always be a victim to me now. The beating that the media is gonna give you will hurt even more than Chris’ punches, chokes, and bites. Adios.

  70. I&I(yardie) February 21, 2012

    Now if you gonna do something thats going to shock the world, it better be hot and those 2 tracks aint doing anything for me. They were just blah, moreso “cake”. I hope Cbreezy really knows what he is doing. Wish him all the best. If the rumours are true that they are back together, rihanna is doing the same thing she accuses cb and ex of (cheating) that got them in that huge mess in the first place smh. Poor Kae T. I am sure this cannot be easy. I hope she keeps her head up.

  71. Secret Voice February 21, 2012

    Weeeeeeell I am not happy that she collab. with chris but i am happy that they have both shown that they have moved on. I feel that her loyalty to her fans and how many feel has been broken for sure and for many others who was sadden when this thing went down But life goes on and only time will tell. I want to say that even though i am a fan of her music WHILE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HER WELFARE, BUT AS FAR AS I CAN SEE SHE SEEM FINE, JUST FINE. THIS ISN’;T THE ALTER IT’S A FUKKKKKKIN SONGS TWO OF THEM. Why,,,,,Perhaps we will know sooner rather than later. One thing i do know is tham many are bitter, mad and upset , welll me too but not to the point wherer i want stan for her Because i am still TEAM RIHANNA RIDE OR DIE, NO FUKKKKKIN WHAT COME WHAT MAY….Call me a dymmy what ever i just feel that it is time for all of us to move on
    and i see this move as not a DUMB MOVE BY RIHANNA BUT BUSINESS, NOTHING MORE , NOTHING LESS.
    RIHANNA DID SUFFER At the hands of Chris but if she is willing to FORGIVE AND FORGET THEN SO AM I,,,,Because the good lord is in the BLESSING & FORGIVENESS BUSINESS AND HE WILL FORGIVE US AND SINCE NONE OF US HAVE GOT A HEAVEN OR HELL TO PUT CHRIS OR RIH IN THEN I AM GOING TO RIDE THIS ONE OUT. Because i believe in Rihanna and i know that she have got her reason’s now if they are walking down the isles to say i do then that is a horse of a different color.
    AND IF FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER THIS END HER CAREER THEN,,,,HER CAREER WASN’T ALL THAT I HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE START. There’s many who have done waaaaaaay worst then Chris’s Ass have done and they all still have their Careers, WHY NOT RIHANNA & CHRIS. iF THEY NEED A POSTER CHILD FOR BEAT DOWN’S THEN THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO CAN AND WILL FILL THOSE SHOESW.,,,,,NOW I SIT BACK AND KEEP TAKING CARE OF MY BUSINESS AND KEEP LIVING MY LIFE AND WAIT FOR THE BACKLASH AND FALL OUT,,,THAT IS SURE TO COME… COULD SHE HAVE DID HER SONG WITH A CAZILLION OTHERS,, YES SHE COULD HAVE ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL!!!!!!!!!!

  74. SLAYFANISTANN. February 21, 2012

    If anything,It’s gonna hurt Rihanna’s career more than it will Chris Brown’s IMO.

    Some fans/stans have the right to be angry with Rihanna/Jump ship.It doesn’t make them “fake”.This came as a big F*** YOU from her to some of the stans that supported her during Rated R.

    To me,the stans/blogs/media’s anger isn’t about “forgiveness” or their personal lives.Like it or not Chris Brown and Rihanna’s incident was made available to the general public.(Hell,Rihanna and Chris even did interviews annoying about the subject,albeit most of them being annoying).People are not going to get over this especially when they are still turned off by his actions.

    If they didn’t want to be concerned about people watching them.Simple.don’t be a star(or be like another unnamed star who keeps her personal life PRIVATE).The fact of the matter is,Yes,Rihanna is still human but the fact still exists that she is in the public eye,and she should be ready for scrutiny,because the Media LOVES to tear people down -Look at Britney and Christina.(Nobody is actually safe from scrutiny IMO)

    Also,their attitudes towards the speculation did not help in their case at all.Both of them came off as grumpy on Twitter.

    I’m not saying Rihanna shouldn’t forgive Chris.I’m all for second chances and I wish people would stop being so hard on him for everything he does TBH.I’m saying, there could have been much better ways to go about this WITHOUT this coming off as a slap in the face to some of her supporters.

    The remixes aren’t necessarily bad IMO (TBH BDAY CAKE WAS HOT) but the world still has the incident in the back of their minds,especially with sites like TMZ leaking s***.

    I’m sorry,I might be overthinking it but still……

  75. X,Y,”and Z” February 21, 2012

    Sam, who writes this mess..?? The ‘write up’ for this post took a wide, diverting turn into ‘lurid self indulgence’, and away from fact and reality:

    1.) “The incident” has done LITTLE TO NOTHING for Rihanna. She’s STILL a “singles artist”, and based on the vast sums then lavished to create, market, and finally bring to store-shelves (ROI), “Rated R” IS an abysmal failure. Do you need reminder that just before ‘Rated R’ was released, and she did that 20/20 Diane Sawyer interview, OVER 8-Million supposedly sympathetic and curious “discretionary spending consumers” watched her – 8.2-Million to be exact?

    2.) “But, is it too soon?” <– Another DUMB question! Sam/TGJ, "We found love" was whole-cut based on "Feb 8th 2009 Chrianna" – complete with Chris Brown look-a-like as seen in the video. And given the success of THAT single – WE'VE ALL ALREADY MOVED ON!

    Sam, hadn't you noticed that "WE", those of the NEW Paradigm: Urban Blogosphere have ALREADY ruled on the matter of "The World vs. Chris Brown/Chrianna": MOVE THE F*** ON ALREADY..!!!

    There are many being GROMMED FOR ALL OF THE ARTIST’S SPOT
    Rihanna & Chris was both working their asses off before the Devil
    got into the mix and Destroyed their Young Relationship and almost
    Destroyed careers all together. With their pass behind the two of them
    they should be able to move on of course their will be backlash from all directions and they had just better get ready for it, but Hey it’s their lives

    “And as far as Other’s being GROMMED FOR HER SPOT,

    For Rihanna, Nicki Minaj has come AND took “her spot”.
    For Chris..?? In his “absence” the stage was empty – in stepped ‘Trey Songz’ and ‘Drake’. But ‘F.A.M.E’ was only a taste: “CBreezy 2.0”. ‘F.A.M.E’ was NOT given the budget nor exposure that Drake’s debut was given. That said, ‘Drake’ nor ‘Trey Songz’ weren’t prominently placed in a movie – its marketing, and the actor with the longest screen time – that has now grossed $100-M: “Takers”.

    Long-story short: Nicki Minaj has ALREADY replaced Rihanna. And, as for Chris, there’s NO ONE UPON THE POP-CULTURE LANDSCAPE LIKE HIM – NO ONE..!!

    And yet-most curious of all: the fact that BillBoard can wag their fingers and tell us where to spend our monies. As far as Chris: “WE”, who really matter, COULDN’T CARE LESS ‘BOUT BILLBOARD NOR ANYONE ELSE. WE’VE ALREADY READ ALL THERE IS TO READ ‘BOUT FEB 8th, 2009 AND NOW KNOWS JUST WHO IS TO BLAME: RIHANNA..!!

But Kanye, and other’s have been featured on his music , i know they did not get bopped up beside their HEADS, But time does heal all wounds no matter how great as long as we are still Brearting and have got a FORGIVIG HEART, WHAT WOULD WE ALL DO IF GOD WASN’T FORGIVING TO US OF OUR SINS?????

Often time Rihanna should have gottwn an Award Just like she should have gotten something for her album “Loud” but she did not she came away empty HANDED AND TO ME THAT WAS A FUKKKKKIN BACKLASH AND SHE AND CHRIS HAD NOT COLLABORATED ON JACK S*** DURING THE FUKKKK GRAMMYS, S*** EXPLAIN THAT BULL S*** TO MANY PEOPLE WITH A WORKING BRAIN?????

Rihanna has been great with her #1’a and the best in quite a while and she got the Nods but did not take home the Bacon, See Billboard is full of s***, Period. If Rihanna won more #1’s
    then any other of the 2000 ‘2 then why did’nt she not take the most of the Bacon Home? These award shoiws and Billboard & Grammy’s have got their PICK AND
    as far as i and many are concerned they have did a great job of CUTTING RIHANNA BELOW THE BELT WHEN SHE HAVE CLEARLY WON MANY CATAGEROIES OF MUSIC FUKKK THE DUMB……

    This is Rihanna’s way of telling her fans, and the media to go screw themselves! I think she’s fed up with her stans, and the media trying to dictate her life by telling her what to do and what and who not to be around. It’s been 3 year since the incident, and “White media” and her stans are constantly trying to run her life. How pathetic is that?

They’re both young, and extremely immature, and it shows greatly, and I’m really too old to care!! Any of you, say 25 & older shouldn’t either!! got a lot of studyong to do…Out!!

  86. barbie February 21, 2012

    my 2 cents: obviously there is no backlash becuz no one CARES!! Her lemmings aka the navy will support her regardless. The rest of the world will continue to not respect her. Let her do as she wants. KAty perry is mounting her #1 singles so th poor girl has to do whateva to get attention since her lack of talent won’t do the trick. JUST IGNORE!!

    PR stunt FAIL FLOP on both of their parts.

    @ LAX

    Rihanna cheapened herself. I had a lot of criticisms of her before because I didn’t think she was a hard worker with her performances, but now I see that she really only cares about her image of “Bad Gal”. Her and CB aren’t back together. This was a desperate move on both of their parts….but for no reason at all. They were doing fine. Bury the hatchet my ass. It comes off as attention-seeking and it will/has backfired. No one gives a hoot about those songs, and everyone sees through this mess.

    CB and Rihanna fans/stans should be done with both of these idiots. They’re immature–running around acting like they’re 17 when they’re 23 and 24. I see now, that they are never going to grow up.

  88. Chris Brown and Rihanna are sick individuals February 21, 2012

    Chris Brown is now singing and collaborating with the girl he beat up! Well isn’t that amazing?! He is so incredible!!!

    They are now doing business together and being friends and singing about cake!!!?

    Isn’t that so smart???

    The music industry is so amazing and intelligent!!! The industry is so great!!! I mean of all the remixes that could have happened, this one is the best!!! Best idea ever!!!

    I’m all for forgivness, but Rihanna and Chris have gone about this all wrong, they are being crude and acting like uneducated teenagers. We have to remember Chris Brown didn’t just give Rihanna a little slap, he punched her, bit her, told her he was going to kill her, then left her bleeding and screaming for help in the street., (that’s serious right there). Not only that, but three years later these two seem to be even more imature than they were in 2009, Chris is having major hissy fits on twitter and disrepecting his girlfriend in a major way, whilst Riri is writing “#DoURightHereWhileTheWholeWorldsWatchin” in answer to critisms of their collab. As a female, an adult and unfortunately for her a worldwide superstar, Rih owes it to her younger fan base to explain her descion and her route to forgiveness, because whether she likes it or not she is a role model and if she wanted people to mind there own business she shouldn’t of done the 20/20 interview in the first place and she defo SHOULD NOT be on twitter airing out her business the millions of followers every other hour.
    Both acts are adults and no one is saying that they can’t be friends, just keep it classy and remember another heart is involved (Chris’s chick – Krispy kream T)

    @AUNTIE,,,,I AGREE THAT IS’T NOT A SMART MOVE
    TRUE,,,But i amd still going to support her because she’s the one who
    has to deal with the Backlash just like her Label is getting to go to
    war with her and Rightfully so but i am still not going to turn my back on Rihanna
    no matter what she does that’s stupid because we can learn from our mistakes
    When you throw it out there like she did it EITHER SINK OR SWIM AND THIS IS
    A BIG GAMBLE AND I HAVE TO RIDE UNTIL THE TIDE SETTLES DOWN TO SEE
    HOW IT ALL PLAYS OUT,,,,RIHANNA’S NAVY ALL THE WAY! I AM OLDER THAN TEN AND HAVE GONE THROUGH THE VALLEY MYSELF IN MY LIFE AND ENDED UP
    JUST FINE. This shows that there is real hate out there even for those of us who want to forgive and forget, EVEN THOUGH GOD FORGIVES US A MILLION TIMES!
    AND HER LABEL HAS ALREADY TAKEN A STANCE, AND IT SEEMS THE BACKLASH IS IN FULL FORCE,,,I AM GETTING BUCKLED IN AT MY JOB FOR THE LONG HAUL AND THE ROUGH TERRAIN THAT’S COMING UP AHEAD ON THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION FOR RIHANNA AND CHRIS!!!!!!

    @AUNTIE,,,Do we turn out backs on our family members? How many times
    do we forgive our Family and pray for them to get it Right?

  93. Lax February 21, 2012

    Rihanna and Chris have got Label heads and Bosses
    Going around in Circles trying to figure this S*** out.

  94. Lax February 21, 2012

    Fans around the Globe are worked all the
    way up and this is going to really be something,
    that is bigger than any of us ever thought. Many are
    feeling Betrayed and let down Completely But i will
    say again it’s their Livelyhood and they are the One’s
    who’s going to have to pay the piper.

    Rihanna is so pathetic with mo morals and self-esteem.

  96. Gaga’s Army February 21, 2012

    Rihanna is the next Kim Kardashian…she is flake and a sham.

    Poor Riri fans, they are all being manipulated.

    @ LAX

    I see what you are saying–and I agree with you. I’m annoyed because they didn’t need this kind of PR, yet they want to be “shocking”. Maybe they really are destructive…

  98. ThisSoundsDumb February 21, 2012

    I know it may seem weird but for some reason I feel like Rihanna is tired of the fame and is trying to end her career herself.. Or maybe she just really don’t care.

  99. Pathetic February 21, 2012

    Some people are pathetic with the damn whining talking about how this will affect your kids… First of all yall need to stop depending on these artists to teach YOUR children wrong from right and do it yourself.

    @LAX re: Feb 21,11:08 am —

    Let’s get this right:

    I’m NO Nicki Minaj fan. Neither am I a Lady Gaga fan! I think I can safely say, you’ll NEVER find me buying a CD/concert ticket to hear/see either!

    That said, facts ARE the “facts”: “Pink Friday” with a mere recent announcement of her coming London tour dates jumped some 94-places on the U.K. Top 100 chart – where it now currently resides at #36.

    I said it before, I’ll say it again: Nicki Minaj is T-H-E new “IT GIRL”. Your fave had her 7-year run. “Rated R” was THE “definitive test” for Rihanna/Brand Rihanna, and she FAILD; “Rated R” on purely a ROI (return on investment) basis has FAILED. And lest we for get that she wasn’t heard from UNTIL that Diane Sawyer 20/20 interview which pulled 8-something Million empathizing, curious viewers; STILL, ‘Rated R’ FAILED!

    Nicky Minaj will do to Rihanna what she’s ALREADY done to her, here in the U.S., make her irrelevant by dwarfing her CD sales.

    Again: I’m NO Nicki Minaj, NOR Lady Gaga fan – not today, not yesterday, not tomorrow – but the facts ARE the “facts”!!

WELL GOODLUCK TO THEM BOTH AND MAY GOD BLESS THEM AND EVERYONE WHO IS AGAINST THEM.

I HAVE A MIND OF MY OWN!!! I DON’T JUMP WHEN RIHANNA SAYS TO JUMP. IF THIS IS HER PERSONAL LIFE WHY PUT IT IN MUSIC??!!!!

    FOR YOU PEOPLE TO SAY “YOU WAS NEVER A FAN” GETS UNDER MY F****** SKIN. LET ME ASK YOU THIS

    5.WOULD A FAKE FAN BRAG ABOUT HER BEING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SINGER IN THE WORLD.

    i AM NOT A FAKE FAN IM JUST A FORMER FAN OF RIHANNA.

  105. BLACKEYENAVY February 23, 2012

    IT’S NOT EVEN THE SONG THAT BOTHERS ME ITS HER REACTION AFTER THE RELEASE.SHE CAME OFF AS A REAL STUCK UP,SNOTTY,ARROGANT B****. AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I’VE EVER FELT THIS WAY ABOUT RIHANNA.SORRY BUT RIHANNA DOESN’T CARE FOR ANY OF YOU AND IF SHE DID HER REACTION WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. RIHANNA IS GIVING US A BIG “F*** YOU”. AND I WILL NEVER SUPPORT SOMEBODY LIKE THAT. I DON’T CARE WHAT YALL SAY.BEING AN ARTIST YOU ARE NOT JUST SELLING MUSIC BUT YOU ARE SELLING YOURSELF,PERSONALITY AND RIGHT NOW RIHANNA IS LOOKING LIKE AN UGLY PERSON.
