Rihanna and Chris Brown Are Sharing “Birthday Cake.” Musically and Personally. (Exclusive Details) (UPDATED)
Posted by Miss Info under About Miss Info , Exclusives , Hmmm? , Life Beyond Rap , Quotes , Relationships and Family , Sigh[105] Comments
(A photo of Rihanna’s actual “birthday cake”. Yes, she’s riding a spliff….)
Is the world ready for a Rihanna and Chris Brown reunion? Well, ready or not, it is happening.
Rihanna has recorded a remix to her song “Birthday Cake” featuring Chris Brown, her Grammy-winning ex-boyfriend who was also convicted of assaulting her 3 years ago this month.
Recently, the song’s co-producers, Da Internz, hinted to MTV News, that “the feature on [the remix] is gonna shock the world.” They didn’t exaggerate. Your girl Info confirmed with two independent sources that Rihanna has Chris Brown featured on the song. He recorded both a singing verse, and a rap verse. (We’ll see if both of those verses make the final song.)
UPDATE 2/17: Well, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised…but I’m guessing some fans will be disappointed to hear that Rihanna is allegedly being pressured to shelf the “Birthday Cake (Remix)” completely. It’s possible that she recorded it with Chris without alerting label and management. But here’s the thing…burying this song, doesn’t really solve anything if these two continue to reunite in other ways. And by the looks of Rihanna’s twitter rant, the heart wants what the heart wants. Plus, are all parties ready to begin a lengthy period of lying about the duet’s existence? Seems like both Rihanna and Chris are pushing back…
*Yes, Chris’ hint means Rihanna is on his remix.*
(Continuation of 2/16 post) As for rumors that Chris Brown attended Rihanna’s early birthday celebration after the Grammys this past weekend….Yes, that is also true. In fact, Chris arrived at the party with Rihanna. And stayed. It was not a drive-by appearance. And the energy between the two did not appear purely platonic. The party was a small intimate one. Family members, friends, and interestingly enough, management (Hov was not there, obviously). I imagine there were lots of mixed reactions in the room. (And no, everyone didn’t sign a confidentiality agreement)
(Photo of Rihanna and Chris Brown, back when they were dating in 2009)
So…now that we’ve got the facts out…what kind of reaction will follow? I think you best brace yourselves for multiple waves of heated emotion. Crashing into each other from many directions.
More on that, and the state of Rihanna x Chris Brown in 2012…
After the jump
But also, be clear….this resolution between volatile exes, between aggressor and victim, between two huge pop stars…has been brewing for a while. But what’s also interesting is that…while time that has evidently healed the wounds from that horrible Lamborghini ride in Los Angeles in 2009 for Rihanna…it’s clear from the reaction to Chris Brown’s 2012 Grammy win, there are still strong feelings from both men and women about CB’s post-conviction post-probation place in pop culture.
And to be frank, Chris doesn’t exactly make it easier with some of his tweets, either.
Ever since Chris Brown performed (twice, actually) at the Grammys this past Sunday, a renewed sense of outrage has been flowing from the mainstream press. Some it has been fueled by a very disturbing twitter trend, young CB fans referencing his domestic violence conviction as a badge of fandom. These were collected by Buzzfeed (25 Extremely Upsetting Reactions To Chris Brown At The Grammys), and then discussed on sites like The Rumpus (Dear Young Ladies Who Love Chris Brown So Much They Would Let Him Beat Them). These were pieces that were shared up to 47,000 times, and tweeted thousands of times as well.
*cringe*
Then there was country singer Miranda Lambert’s unsolicited reaction to Chris Brown’s appearance on the Grammys and his win (fyi: she references “Gunpowder and Lead,” a song she wrote about domestic abuse):
Now, without condoning Brown’s terrible violence against Rihanna, I think Lambert’s suggest that there should be a Grammy penalty box is a bit unrealistic. If that were the case, how long would the probationary period be for legal offenders? Anything longer than a month would make it difficult for a whole lot of musicians. Not just rappers and R&B singers. And would Chris Brown’s “place” be the court-mandated chain-gang he was on in 2010? Should he volunteer for additional work detail in exchange for Grammy airtime? Or should the Grammy show producers do some garbage pick-up to earn the right to ask CB to dance and cartwheel. The whole thing is a slippery slope. And it’s made that much more slippery, when Chris himself gets to tweeting (and then deleting) things like:
Ack! Move away from the blackberry, CB. It seems like Chris has earned the right to move professionally past constant apology. But is it unrealistic for him to think that his mistake will ever be not an issue for the general public? He has earned the music awards and accolades he’s gotten. So whose responsibility is it to restrict the amount of spotlight he gets moving forward?
Clearly Rihanna and Chris have been getting closer and working together for a little while now. You don’t record a song, shoot a video, and decide to show up together at a party overnight. And then, there is the fact that Chris is still publicly dating a stylist named Karrueche Tran. The couple left L.A. together the day after Rihanna’s birthday. So now we wait for the actual “Birthday Cake” reveal…and all the renewed debate that will follow. One music expert raised an interesting point: What about Rihanna’s mentors who have made it very clear that they aren’t letting Chris live that 2009 assault down? What were the conversations like to greenlight recording and video production?
Some debates are good ones. They move us forward even. Will a real “Rihanna Loves Chris Brown 2012” have the opposite effect? Does that make a difference to either of them? Nope.

Apparently, people have never heard about s&m.
February 16th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Chris Brown hasn’t once apologize. Fuck out of her with that bullshit. He’s evaded the question and whined about being asked about it all the way through. And FYI Miss Info, the Grammy’s DO have bans for certain artists. Janet Jackson is still banned for the Super Bowl incident when America saw her nipple.
Now it may be just me, but hospitalizing someone is worse than seeing a titty. But whatever the community wants to see them back together so we endorse abuse. Yeah, fuck yeah. Beat the shit out of women!
On a musical note, he is a shit performer. Any song that requires dancing from him he never sings. He’s a glorified back-up dancer.
February 16th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
S&M is NOT the same thing as abuse. What Chris Brown did was assault, plain and simple. S&M is an agreed upon interaction between two people where the “top” is expected to stop whenever the “bottom” wants them to (there’s usually a safe word/phrase)… the “bottom” in an S&M relationship actually holds quite a bit of power, in that she/he is the one who draws the line of where to stop.
ALSO: I have never met anyone into S&M who actually ends up with real physical injuries from the relationship. Maybe some superficial ones, yes, but not real bruising and injuries like those from a domestic abuse situation.

YO THIS SHIT’S GONNA BE DOPEE!!
February 16th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
I not taking any side on this matter, they’re both clearly stupid.. No one truly knows what happened that night and by the looks of it no one but them is going to. With that being said.. Talk about their relationship professionally and personally is pointless, both sides are at fault, both side didn’t think things through, they’re both young and stupid. Now how this effects society.. I don’t see how it should. A fan is a fan and no matter what the star does, they’ll always be clean in the fans eye. R. Kelly and the rape case, OJ’s first case, both proof that people’s opinion won’t change as long as the star is “big” out there, no matter what they do..

February 16th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
If I had any respect for Rihanna I’d have just lost it all reading this. How “thuglife” is she that she would associate herself with someone who did all that to her. If she was so “thug life” she would of had him handled. Very least not let him touch her vagina again. Yes you can forgive and move on but if you get close to the person who did that to you, youre damaged and I feel bad for you. Therapy all around. My prediction, she will lose a lot of respect from a lot of people.
February 16th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
Welp, this will definitely be one of the most talked about songs of the year…
February 16th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
She’s the crazy one just like sadly Whitney was the crazy one and Bobby took the heat.. There is never any reason to beat up a chick but you know what if thats the type of love that crazy bitch want then u have 3 option, give it to her, dont fuck with her or teach her to be normal which never works..Chris is playing with fire, she’s going to ruin him but he’s the only guy that can handle her…..I think we need to redefine who the aggressor and victim are in this case Chris responded to aggression and Rhianna aint nobody victim..
Miranda ambert’s fat ass needs to shut the fuck up.I bet her opinion would be different if it was a country dude with a deadbeat girlfriend and that secretly she thinks all niggas need to be put in their place…..Chris has been “forgiven” if you want to call it that because one he put out great music and two I think people realize that she’s bat shit crazy and that he was put in a bad spot by a rotten bitch and would be a fool to go back.
There is no debate here! There is only a slight conflict of opinion between those who live in the real fucking world and those who live in a fantasy land..
February 16th, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Not sure how I feel about this but I’m not surprised by her actions. Seems like the bruises healed and she needs to make the front pages again and this is her best route to do so!

Rih’s fans won’t be mad @ her..they already know she can’t let go. Chris’ fans on the other hand.. some will be ok with it and some will attack her (as they do every female that comes close to CBreez)
The media will not be happy with Rihanna for this but it’s obvious she doesn’t care. i say leave them be..maybe all they need is closure?
I’d hate to be Chris’ “girlfriend” though..shit really gotta suck to see your dude pine over some next chick publicly “/
Cant wait to hear the song though : )
February 16th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Meh, this all sounds like publicity to me. I didn’t expect Chris Brown to be any better than this, but I kinda had hopes for Rihanna. Now we can all move on knowing that it’s show business as usual.
February 16th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
janet is banned from getting a grammy cause of SB?? who knew
what i dont get is how CB criminal record is relevant to him making music and being rewarded for it. ex offenders can never catch a break thats why if you cant sing/dance or throw a football, its a shame. bottom line is he was convicted and has served his sanctioned time. miranda met her husband through an affair while he was still married. Everyone has dirt/skeletons
if rihanna dont care, why should we
February 16th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
Thank You, they both stupid. They’re both acting like kids in a high school relationship, fighting and getting back together without learning a thing about what went wrong to begin with. In fact, a high-school student would’ve learned from an experience like that.. they’re both below that
February 16th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
Chris did apologize more than once and I never felt he owed me an apology only Rihanna. His PR team sucked from day one and never handled the terrible situation in the best manner. I would have loved to see Chrianna go on a tour across the country talkin abt teen dating violence.
I believe they were both young and had a relationship full of violence on BOTH sides. I do not support or condone violence either way (is women shldnt hit men either) I need everybody to keep their hands to themselves period. They both needed counseling/therapy and I pray they both have recvd it. I am all about forgivness and 2nd chances so I wish them both the best.
I can’t wait to hear/watch the video fo Cake
February 16th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Some of you commenters need to worry about your own lives instead of being so wrapped up trying to criticize Chris & Rih’s. If ANYTHING God is the only one to judge, he knows we all sin no matter how horrible. If God wan’t him to die like some of you imbeciles say, HE WOULD HAVE TOOK HIM OUT! Whaat else you want him to do? LORDDDD. HE apologize numerous times and not about to kiss y’all ass. Like him or ignore him. They both went through the typical dealing time, and not they both MOVED ON! Shit I got attacked by a guy for a iPhone in November & yeah I cried & ran home, but you don’t see me fucking crying every damn day & bitter. Y’all want Rihanna to be depressed 24/7 and not move on huh? Chris too? That’s not life. Be realistic and to be honest he is the first to learn from the shit. That’s what stands out to me, I’VE NEVER SEEN ANY GUY ACTUALLY RISE ABOVE LIKE THAT. And I’m not saying it’s okay but that shit ain’t affect my life. That’s they life. Why some of you so pissed off about a celeb personal life at that? Mind your business. And you wonder why they say the shit they say on twitter. Hell I would be heated if everyday people rubbed my mistakes in my face. Y’all ain’t going to be the ones letting me into heavens gates. God is!
February 16th, 2012 at 5:35 pm
interesting idea. And i think you have a level head about the matter. One thing I know to expect…is lots of non-levelheadedness on this topic.
February 16th, 2012 at 5:47 pm
How “thuglife” is she that she would associate herself with someone who did all that to her?
Because she knows what really happened in that car from start to finish.. And her people that should have jumped up to handle her know exactly who and what she is thats why they stood down AND didnt get at him… Its said that in life men and woman are always trying to break the person they are with in to suit them..Get them “just right” so to speak and by pushing that kid to fuck her up was her own little special way of doing just that. Didnt she recently say on Ellen that she needed a man with an edge? She wanted that feeling and he gave it to her and paid for it..
February 16th, 2012 at 5:49 pm
If you could leave the ghetto for one second with your woman hating self and look at the FULL police report from 2009. The girl did not do a damn thing wrong to warrant him brutally assaulting her. You are the one apparently living in a fantasy land.

You would think Drake’s ‘Save-A-Ho’ skills would be better than this. HOW COULD HE LET THIS HAPPEN???
February 16th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
If anything this is vindication for him! If the situation was anywhere near as bad as those pictures then surely she wouldn’t have done shit with him. But apparently they weren’t and there is a ton more to be said about what actually took place in that car. People were acting like Rhianna was home baking cookies and Ike-Brown just walked in and started beating her!
I hope he just smash for a bit longer and then go marry a normal woman no De Nigger-Bitch hahahah because really thats all Rhianna is and will ever be no matter how big her talent is..
February 16th, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Weather Rihanna and Chris Brown are dating or not none of us can judge them because we all know that ain’t nothing powerful like love and it can either brake us or build us up,it really depends on how we treat it. Its up to them if they can make it work this time around, let’s just watch two love birds.wink!!!
February 16th, 2012 at 6:06 pm
lol Yea, she was just sitting in the passenger seat and said “Oh Chis I made you a fish sandwich and I put tarter sauce and hot sauce on it” he he just jumped up and started beating her head in because he dont like hot sauce! Yeah okay thats what happened!
They back fucking because AND I REPEAT ::: she knows what really happened in that car from start to finish.. And her people that should have jumped up to handle him know exactly who and what she is thats why they stood down AND didnt get at him… Its said that in life men and woman are always trying to break the person they are with in to suit them..Get them “just right” so to speak and by pushing that kid to fuck her up she was her own little secial way of doing just that. Didnt she recently say on Ellen that she needed a man with an edge? She wanted that feeling and he gave it to her and paid for it..
Oh and for the record I love everything about woman..And I’m so far from the fucking hood that its not even funny! But I was born and raised in Brick City and clawed my way out so I know a thing or two about the fucking real world!
February 16th, 2012 at 6:33 pm
Let’s ask ourselves. Would Rihanna be chasing after Chris Brown if say his career was over and he was in financial ruins????… A Grammy, hard work and a successful album can do a lot. If Christina Brown had a functioning brain he would stay away from Rihanna. Is a miracle that he managed to bounce back when it seemed as though the industry black balled him couple of years back. Remember that horrible album cover with the tight pants and that bloody awful single with Swizz Beatz and Lil’ Wayne. Well I barely remember it.
February 16th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
@Malik, I could not of articulated that better. Totally agree.
@Bankoo or whatever, I could engage with you though we differ in opinion were it not for me feeling extreme unease trying to have dialogue with someone who may be unhinged. What is so worrying is that there are many that share this view point – Rihanna is to blame/Chris is a victim stance. Which is why Brown is flourishing selling his weak pop/urban music. Misogyny is alive and well by the looks of things.

Ozzy Osbourne almost killed his wife and they gave him a show on MTV. We don’t know what happened in that car. If a girl put her hands on a man, should he hit back? Hell yes.
February 16th, 2012 at 8:08 pm
Dont know if everyone remember’s Rihanna’s interview back after it happened, but she basically said they were dangerously in love with each other – and even though she began resented him after the fact – she still cared for him, and her main reason for not staying and helping a brother out as she said – was because she knew so many other young girls in similar situations might go back to abusive boyfriends and die because of it.
She understood her position as a role model and you could see despite the blood and bruises, she didn’t want to leave him totally – and Chris trying to apologise so publicly was a terrible move. He doesn’t owe the public an apology at all – this was a private matter between the two of them, when they’re off the TV and stage, they’re in their own space – who the f*ck are we to be telling them how to live their life like they even care?
If they’re rekindling the puppy love they had way back when, then you know what – it’s their decision, it’s their life, their bed, their bodies.
Show them a little courtesy and respect for their judgement, we all do wrong things and we shouldn’t expect them to be perfect.
February 16th, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Kae is just the pawn hired by Chris team to distract the media away from Rihanna and Chris secret relationship. It’s well know that Kae is a bisexual is used by Rih and Chris. Hopefully she’ll find her freedom and get a real relationship.
February 16th, 2012 at 8:30 pm
wow. ozzy did? that’s insane. but im not surprised. Meanwhile, years later, he’s practically incompetent and she’s running his whole life. Life has a funny way of getting around to a point.
February 16th, 2012 at 8:42 pm
Sorry but I dont hate woman and to be honest I think it woud be extremely reckless to assume that because its a male/female that the female visibly got the worse of that she was the victim..
Its so funny how I am suppose to hate woman because I think in this case the woman wasnt the victim..I hope you all stop hating men and god forbid you ever have sons that have to deal with lowlife deadbeat pretty bitches because in the real world deadbeat bitches exist! Now in fantasy land there is nothing but demur princesses..
And for the record I’m not defending Chris Brown. I’m defending men everywhere who deal with these lowlife bitches!! BECAUSE THATS ALL MISS RI-RI is aside from being talented and accomplished shes a whack job..
February 16th, 2012 at 8:46 pm
And shes down for him til the end because he’s brain dead and she can walk away at any time with everything but she stays…Hmmmm
February 16th, 2012 at 9:12 pm
wow never knew that.i always wondered where dude was at.
February 16th, 2012 at 9:23 pm
If they do the remix and that is A BIG IF. that does not mean they’re together.
February 16th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
why is it that people just look at words that are grouped together but refuse to connect with the definition of these words? It’s so weird to me.
February 16th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
Forgiven by whom? Are you stupid or what?
February 16th, 2012 at 10:32 pm
Society needs to care or we stop being a society of rational humans. Are you freakin kidding me? What he got 6 months of labor, no jailtime and 5 years of probation. Come on!
February 16th, 2012 at 10:33 pm
Amen! I totally agree.
February 16th, 2012 at 11:39 pm
That album was actually pretty good.
February 16th, 2012 at 11:42 pm
LOL , what are you talking about Inf? Confirmed truly means If.
February 17th, 2012 at 1:22 am
For the last time, that is NOT the full report of the assault, that is the same affidavit submitted by the officer at the time to get a warrant to obtain phone records back when it happened. Read the last page because it clears states that.
That means at the time this was filed, Brown hadn’t even been interviewed yet. The public has not seen the full report…yet.
Miranda Lambert needs to worry about her husband performing on stage with Glen Campbell, who was accused by Tanya Tucker of abuse back in the 80’s. She alleges that he knocked her two front teeth out on one occasion. She doesn’t have a problem with that woman beater, does she?
February 17th, 2012 at 1:26 am
So what was that apology that he released in that awful orange top about? I thought that was an apology?
How exactly do you know that the Grammy has a ban on Janet Jackson? Where did you get tht delicious morsel of info?
February 17th, 2012 at 1:32 am
Yes he tried to choke her to death, saying voices were telling him to do it. And she stayed without anyone batting an eye! Strange.
February 17th, 2012 at 1:33 am
ozzy is bipolar, and he was molested as a kid. he was manic when he got those crazy thoughts in his head. i don’t think chris brown is bipolar. i just don’t get how he beat her up like that. that shit was…yeah. could only see doing something that insane if someone was like, “yo, i gave you hiv…my bad.”
February 17th, 2012 at 1:37 am
cosign haha
February 17th, 2012 at 1:47 am
True we do not know what happened in the car, and I do not advocate the hitting of anybody, and Chris Brown did apologize, it may have not been the apologize people wanted but nonetheless he gave one. If you have ever been involved is domestic violence of any kind then you would know that it is never as clear cut as a man beating a women,( at least a lot in the American Paradigm that I assume would be relevant to this discussion.) Being a man and knowing and having a general respect for women that was taught to me. I know better than to just hit a girl. On the other hand, in the heat of a argument people lose it and can get out of hand. I have been hit rather hard before in fight and my face and did not swell up that badly, on the other hand my cousin popped me in the eye with her rattler and i had a huge purple black eye for a week, so I am not going to speculate on how bad her beating was because any act of violence is wrong. I think that we as society have to be willing to forgive and let people change. When you are put up on a pedestal like CB and Rihanna we tend to sensationalize the story especially when it regards her being friends with him again. We can never assume the closeness that they share, I have friends that I have gotten into bad fights with and we are still friends til this day because we both matured. Live and let learn.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:28 am
I was the first person to argue that Chris should no longer have a career after “the incident”. But as my anger died I realized he is the little boy that continued the cycle of abuse he witnessed at home. And when Rihanna ran back to him soon after the beating, she was the little girl who witnessed her mother being abused and staying. What added to the tragedy is that they are child stars who are surrounded and spoiled rotten by the “yes” men of the industry. All while never given proper guidance from family and friends because they’re seen as cash cows.
I believe everyone deserves a second chance so I became a fan of his again. And I have supported her as well. But I can’t co-sign on this sh*t. If Rihanna and Chris want to have a relationship in their personal lives that’s none of our business. They could frolic on a yacht while smoking Kush with matching Thug Life tattoos for all I care. But when they bring it to their professional lives, where they’re role models whether they, OR YOU, like it or not…then it’s a problem.
And this isn’t about the adults reading this site because we know better. Well some of us do. This is about the youth that are emulating everything they see and hear on TV. What kind of message is that sending to them? And furthermore, look past Chris and Rihanna because they cant release this on their own, it has to be cleared by the label. What kind of subliminal message is the entertainment business implanting in the mind of kids?
February 17th, 2012 at 4:44 am
daisy : I so agree w that! I said there shoulda been a teen mall tour or online chat with the 2 of them, SOMETHING.
Remember that Ri said she wanted to be a d violence advocate when she talked to Robin roberts on 20/20. I guess she only said that bc she had ‘rated r ‘ commming out.
I think it is very stupid for Ri to be friends w Chris and I cant believe her team is allowing this, I guess they are all Yes ppl too. I know Carter is in nY focusing on newborn Blue but I hope when he hears this (Im sure he has by now as its friday @ 442am) he makes Ri fly to NY to meet him. I dont think ri is bold enough to tell him to his face ‘stay out of my private life’ since she says Carter is her big bro and she is always thanking him. Brought him onstage whe she won her 1st grammy fro ‘umbrellla’. Plus when all her finances, lawyers, managers were screwing her over and she almost went broke, she fired everyone except she stayed with roc nation managers, she stayed with Carter.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:48 am
jasmine : you being attacked for an iphone is not comparable. That was a random street robbery. This is Ri/Chris who had been dating for 3 yrs who had fought b4 (chirs busted a window in barbados) who chris threated to kill & tried to by strangling her, punhcing her repeatedly, tried to push her from their moving car.
February 17th, 2012 at 5:44 am
wow, really? this is well known?
February 17th, 2012 at 5:52 am
for real, that would be a good idea. the fact of the matter is that this situation isnt news, it goes on with kids in our society every single day only difference is that those kids don’t have to go through it with the whole world watching. it is what it is i guess. it would seem that even with money and fame victims (im talking about both of them) still cant get the help they need whether they want it or not, or maybe thats just it, maybe they have got the help and are ready to move on who knows.
February 17th, 2012 at 5:56 am
soft guys don’t finish at all hehe
February 17th, 2012 at 9:17 am
How do you know what they learned from their ordeal? Are you in their personal lives to come to the conclusion that they have not learned from their mistakes?
February 17th, 2012 at 9:24 am
Why is it stupid? If they can move on than maybe you should as well. He paid his debt to society for his crime. Maybe the punishment wasnt as long or severe as some would have wanted, but he served the time nonetheless. Ever heard of another chance???
At the end of the day its Ri’s career. Jay-Z has already established his and is well off without Rihanna.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:32 am
i thought she was a decoy as well but this is the first I’m hearing that she’s bi and they ‘share’ her… that makes sense tho!
February 17th, 2012 at 9:35 am
but breezy grew up watching his mother get abused… there is a definite pattern there, abused kids often become aggressors later on in life. so why does ozzy get a pass for being bipolar and chris doesn’t for growing up watching abuse in relationships?
February 17th, 2012 at 9:54 am
“It seems like Chris has earned the right to move professionally past constant apology. ”
Really? How exactly has he earned that? By being a clearly unremorseful and petulant child that since has thrown tantrums during interviews, sounded off on twitter for 3 years (and subsequently deleting most of them)? Or by putting his personality on display showcasing nothing but contempt, arrogance and immaturity, and never a sense of humility or shame concerning the awful thing he did?
Read the police report again. He punched, bit and kicked the girl, threatened to kill her and then took 9 days to say he was sorry.
If he was remorseful, and using his celebrity for good in a way that would bring attention to domestic violence and helping solve this issue for others, then maybe he’d have earned the right.
I’m very surprised you’re taking this point of view on it. I assume you’ve seen Jay Smooth’s video on the matter as well.

Chris Brown coming back and winning a Grammy shows the truth of a spiritual law that no man can separate or nullify. God forgives when you repent to him and can restore your life no matter how horrible. The key being “repent”. The fact that he has a Grammy now and is back in music performing is a miracle. I would have never thought that after I heard what he did. Clearly Rihanna has forgiven him, God has, and the people HAVE NOT. People can’t forgive like Jesus does. I’m happy for Chris, happy for Rihanna, pray the best for them, and if anyone on this site makes a mistake, I pray that they would understand God’s love and kindness when everyone has turned their back on you and treats you harshly.

at the end of the day just let live there life
if good music support it and let all them live there personal the way they want
February 17th, 2012 at 10:04 am
Just my opinion: I truly believe they need to find closure on their own terms. They broke up because they had too not because they wanted too. So (I’m guessing) these emotions, love, lust (whatever it is) is still there…. they need to deal with it once & for all!

Why are you all getting so mad like you know these people personally and their life has any effect on yours? They don’t know you and i’m sure they don’t care about your opinion on their personal life.
I just wanna hear the song..

You are way out of line man. There is never any excuse, any reason EVER for beating a woman. None. Bottom line. Nothing else matters. There are a million options for every situation that don’t involve beating the shit our of your girlfriend. Wake up asshole.

WOW…forget about Chris Brown and Rihanna. After reading the comments on this page I realize that the tragic part of this situation is knowing that some of these opinions come from individuals who will reproduce one day.
G-d help us all

I’m just curious what the hell is going on with that birthday cake.
February 17th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
What is truly amazing is that you guys bash Chris Brown for his incident but if YOU were in his situation you do not know what you would have done and to make matters worse is the fact that alot of females deal with much worse in their relationship but continue to stand by their man. Chris brown and Rihanna are the ONLY one who knows what took place that night. Let them live there lives because whether you like it or not they are going to continue to live there lives. If they want to make a record together, so be it let them. They are still both young growing adults, move on. Alot of guys deal with abuse in relationships. Whether its physical, mental or emotional it happens. Alot of us do not know how to argue fair and thats a fact. Was it tragic what happened? Yes. Has he paid his dues? Yes. The only reason why this still gets talked about is because they are both well established artists who are STILL regardless of what has happened in the past are still successful and will continue to be….
February 17th, 2012 at 1:51 pm
ya boy Chris is gonna fuck up again. I’m praying he wont but i smell it! Rihanna is same “love too hard, passionate” type chic you broke up with 3 years ago fool! and you’re too much of an emotional dude to not act on the bullshit that comes your way again! dude is mad immature, you see it in his tweets & his vlogs.
I’M ALMOST BETTING THEY ALREADY GOT IN TO THEIR FIRST ARGUMENT POST REUNION. GUARANTEED

Janet wasn’t banned from getting a Grammy. She wasn’t allowed to present at the ceremony right after the SB because it was also on CBS and she refused to apologize for screwing them over. Justin Timberlake apologized and he performed twice during that same show. Janet hasn’t won an award because her albums have been weak.
February 17th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Beating on a female is bitch shit, any guy that puts his hands on a women shouldnt have hands no more imo.
So I’m not with that shit but honestly these stupid girls get beat on and keep going back.
I’m not saying they deserve what they get but you allow dudes to beat on you and you keep going back and then he ends up killing you, WTF do you expect?
The fact she would even speak to that scumbag again is sad. And when he beats her ass again some of it has to be on her now cause she went back.
February 17th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
you hate women? youre an idiot get off the internet.
February 17th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
WTF are you smoking?
Vindication?
dude women get beat the fuck down, broken bones, broken faces and still go back to the guy who did it, this isnt vindication.
Dudes beat on females, they are dumb enough to go back, this doesnt mean the situation wasnt bad it just means some girls are retarded and go back.

thats a GREAT comment
February 17th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Everyone seems to be forgetting that he beat her in a Lamborghini. That’s totally different. Also, as I’ve said before, Chris Brown clearly bursts instinctually into dance routines when he hears a funky jam, so it’s more than likely it was just his flailing arms and legs that made contact with her head (which is quite big) accidentally.

How did you figure she didnt do anything? were you there? If he was a continous woman beater that wouldnt have been the first time we seen something to that extent, How do you know that document you seen on the internet wasnt fabricated, oh wait cause everything you see on here is the truth -_-, long story short everyone is going to have an opinion because yes they are in the public eye, but lets remember what they are ENTERTAINERS of music they’re here to give us something to listen to, being to concerned with someone’s personal life shows your own life isnt by far much to think about. PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES we’re human…or are you to intune to the web that you figure we have transformed to robots now….get othe fuck over it people are dying in third world countires and we worried about if the two love bugs are still fucking im so sick!
February 17th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
having personal “demons” is not a crime or anything to be ashamed about, but they need to be taken care of. ozzy takes medication. chris brown needs psychiatric therapy for rage issues. anyway, one is a mental disease and the other–though learned–has to do with self control.
February 17th, 2012 at 6:13 pm
All those tweets are…. wow! We all know what Chris did and yes, while I do not agree with it, I feel we need to move on. If Rihanna likes it, who are we not to love it… NEXT! -askheatherg.net
February 17th, 2012 at 6:46 pm
All these people who dont want Chris Brown to be forgiven, yet Charlie Sheen, Nicholas Cage, Rodney Atkins, Chris Cagle, etc. can get away with their shit. Leave the man alone. In three years he has shown that he made a mistake, was remorseful and has not reoffended. So whats all the noise. And why does she woe it to her fans to not work/see chris brown? we are saying young women look up to her? well its high time mothers start being role models to their daughters. rihanna is a singer. let her do that. sing. don;t let her be an example for YOUR child.
February 17th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
How is it anything like high school… Its been 3 years. Is there no way they could have both grown in the 3 years?
And not that I agree with everything Bank0o is saying but dude has one of the most valid points, Rihanna knows what went down from start to finish, she is the ONLY one who knows whether or not she pushed Chris into the rage he was in (which would make sense but yeh), not that it should be excused but there are so many details ppl forget…. Like has CB’s mugshot ever been released? I don’t think sooo… If u wonder why I bring that up, have u never questioned what he looked like that night? I am just sehing there are 3 sides to the story, Rihanna’s, Chris’ and the truth. They both know what the whole story is and we don’t. If she is ready after 3 years to talk, record, touch or fuck Chris then we shouldn’t have a problem with it. Some might say she is still broken and some will say she has moved on, the fact is that its her choice as somebody who knows the whole truth and not the media’s version of the truth.
February 17th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
Man u guys are a trip. Rihanna and Chris being the only two ppl who actually know what happened in that car that night have come back together after 3 YEARS!
She didn’t run back to him nor did they just get back together….. Its been 3 frickin years.

The public thinks their opinion matters in the situation or that Rihanna owes us anything, she nor Chris need to give a fuck what we think because if we were any one of them, we wouldn’t give a fuck what the public thinks, we would just do what we want and done.
February 17th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
Last time I check jesus died for our sins so for those who want to crucify chris why dont you go to your nearest beach and walk on water, if rihanna wants to get back with him than thats hers choice, as long as chris prayed and ask for forgivesness who are we to judge.
February 18th, 2012 at 12:16 am
I hope they get back together. let them live there life. fuck all that other shit
February 18th, 2012 at 2:25 am
WOW. Bank0o is making some kinda sense. its so apparent now that Rihanna is inbalanced and she obviously pushed that boy to breaking point.
February 18th, 2012 at 2:27 am
but people like to twist the truth, thanks for the actual facts.
February 18th, 2012 at 4:48 am
look let’s face it Rihanna is blinded by love, Chris brown is arrogant and oblivious to the reality of what he did. Remember they are both still like what 23 or something and became stars at young ages so they are working on a different mindset… she knows to leave well enough alone so what she gets is on her and what he gets is his. Let them have their poison I say. It’s a shame so many children will follow these stars to their own demise but hey, you can’t tell a kid who follows their heroes, to only appreciate the music when they feel so deeply affected by the artists.
February 18th, 2012 at 11:39 am
A FULL police report is a one sided report to find out is Prosecutors want to go for a conviction. ITs not from both sides of an issue , just one. IF you really used your head with this report, you can ask, how the hell is it so seamless? It reads out like a movie script that has Chris one hand driving while doing wrestling moves and boxing. Talking and allowing RHianna to use her phone then continue to go back to the one hand boxing while maneuvering the Lambo through the street. Since he is one hand boxing ,I will assume the Lambo is Automatic, which when he came to a stop , she grabbed the key out of a car that wasn’t in park? The police report is ridiculous.
I think a fight happened in the car, Rhianna ended up the loser.
February 18th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
U blindly forget that a few days following the incident they were in Miami at Diddy’s Mansion trying to work through the problems they were having
So even after he beat her up she was still with him and wanted to work through it
The Only reason they didnt get back together after the incident was because her ADVISORS warned her it would RUIN her career
She never stopped loving Chris and since then has dated guys and used guys in her video who look like Chris Brown
February 18th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
I still find it rather disturbing that people get super worked up about CB’s crime @19yrs old yet think zilch about watching Roman Polanski’s movies..dude was over the age of 40 when he plied a 13yr old girl with drinks & drugs then went on to frontally&anally rape her. He gets Oscars and top Hollywood actors rushing to France to act in his movies.
By the way CB haas apologized a zillion, some of y’all are now seeking entitlements and refuse to accept
Values people: read about Polanski in the link below – http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/roman-polanski-plea-transcript
February 18th, 2012 at 4:11 pm
I hold both Rhianna and Chris responsible. If we learned anything from Whitney’s tragic loss it’s this: we(public) need to start holding celebs accountable for their actions on both sides.I remember saying the same thing when Rhianna wanted to portray a “raunchy” image in the press with her photo spread pics on a Irish farm. The same energy you put out there for publicity will come back and haunt you if its not positive- Which is what has happened. Certain people are just a destructive force of nature because of their chemistry. I’m not judging her or Chris tho, But they deserve everything the public and media dishes at them for being contradictions.
February 18th, 2012 at 7:50 pm
Cant believe you all care so much about a situation that doesn’t and shouldn’t effect your lives smh.
February 18th, 2012 at 8:05 pm
yeah, Jesus personally handed Chris the Grammy. I saw it.
February 19th, 2012 at 7:58 am
*Eyes roll* Domestic violence is not right no matter what GENDER, but you’re living in a fantasy world. Violence is not always the answer, but it’s never going to be non existent. People are always talking shit about situations they were never in. I don’t believe Chris on her song. It’s just fake hype, but how many times does RIHANNA. THE CHICK THAT WAS IN THE CAR HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL THAT SHE’S OVER IT? Brown did everything he was ordered to do.
February 19th, 2012 at 8:00 am
Happens in everyday life. No priors, no history of violence.
February 19th, 2012 at 8:08 am
I think you found Bobby and Whitney’s old crack pipe! You don’t either of them personally! No wonder many celebs tell the media and the public they don’t give fuck!
February 19th, 2012 at 8:10 am

“Like has CB’s mugshot ever been released? I don’t think sooo… If u wonder why I bring that up, have u never questioned what he looked like that night?”
I have always said this since jump…
TMZ can get a mug shot two seconds after it is taken…but NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN CHRIS’ EVER???? Like many have said DV is white and black…however Family Violence isn’t…if you don’t know the difference google it. DV has to have a person that has to be in control with a victim that is alienated. FV is where there is violence on both sides. Neither one (DV or FV) are healthy or right, but definitely different.
February 19th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
Because he already told you On Cameras “Its only camera its only on Camera…” Oh and at the end of Marvin’s room he clearly says Rihanna has a lady friend…I think he was clear on his position. :-p

That’s what parenting is for…if you have a real relationship with your children..the parents are the greatest role models and can usurp dumbness in the form of celebrity influence…unfortunately there aren’t a lot of parents anymore…just older ppl who happen to have sex and give birth and pay for stuff…

WHOOOOO GIVEESSSS A FUCKKKKKKKK?
this relationship is a match made. weather its healthy or not, wh othe fuck cares. im no therapist, i just like music, if they where close friends i would throw in my 2 cents because i would have some background on the info, everyone else should stfu and worry about thier own
