Controversial couple Rihanna and Chris Brown claim their romance is ‘Nobody’s Business’, but the pair seem suspiciously keen to share it with the world. Daily.

Their latest showing arrived on Instagram this morning, with Rih writing the following quote from Brown’s 2011 hit ‘Look At Me Now’:

“Yellow model chick in my yellow ass dress wit my yellow nigga X”

It was 2012‘s all-star ensemble that brought viewers in droves to the theater.  Indeed, Kevin Hart, Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Gabrielle Union, Michael Ealy, and so many more filled out the cast with the task of bringing comedian Steve Harvey‘s best-selling book ‘Think Like A Man’ to life via film adaptation.

Raking in nearly $100 million at the box office (and exceeded most expectations), undoubtedly a redo was immediately requested.  Now, fans dying to get news on the film’s follow-up can rejoice as its premiere date has been set.  As reported by Essence:

May 30, 2014

No word yet on if all of the original cast will be on board for the film’s “part 2”.
