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”

As jarring as their deliberate showcasing is, it’s clearly working. For, coupled with a 50% price slash, Rihanna’s ‘Unapologetic’ continues to enjoy steady sales, while Brown’s full-priced single ‘Fine China’ is the highest new entry on the Billboard Hot 100 this week after entering at #52.
