Chris Brown and Rihanna’s two-year love affair ended in disaster when the R&B singer was arrested for physically assaulting her in 2009. Bloodied and bruised, Rihanna’s face was front page news. Brown was charged with felony assault and ultimately copped a plea deal that required community labor, five years of probation and domestic violence counseling.
Rihanna has since moved on, but the two superstars are apparently on good terms. On Thursday (May 19), Brown took to his Instagram Stories to congratulate Rihanna on the birth of her first child with A$AP Rocky.
The baby boy was reportedly born on Friday (May 13) and Rihanna is doing well. The 33-year-old singer shared his congratulatory message just an hour after the news broke. The post featured a pregnant woman emoji, red heart, prayer emoji and the word “CONGRATULATIONS” written across the front.
In September 2020, Oprah Winfrey decided to re-release a 2012 interview with Rihanna for an episode of her Supersoul Coversations podcast in which RiRi opened up about her bond with Brown.
“We’ve been working on our friendship again,” she said. “Now we’re very very close friends. We’ve built up a trust again, and that’s — we love each other and we probably always will. And that’s not something we’re ever going to change. That’s not something you can shut off, if you’ve ever been in love.”

She added, “I think he was the love of my life. He was the first love. And I see that he loved me the same way… it’s not even about us being together. I truly love him. So the main thing for me is that he’s at peace. I’m not at peace if he’s a little unhappy, or he’s still lonely.”
While Rihanna may have forgiven Brown for the horrific assault, it seems A$AP Rocky hasn’t forgotten about it. In his latest single “D.M.B. (Das Mah Bitch),” he makes a subtle reference to Brown, rapping, “I don’t beat my bitch, I need my bitch.” Listen to it below.
That lump of regret in your throat is a very very hard pill to swallow.
Clown would have been better sending her a private message instead of doing it publicly for clout. Is he that stupid that he doesn’t realize the media will bring up the fact that he beat the living shit out of her some years ago
Amazing, if he says nothing then it is because he is hurt, jealous, or he is inconsiderate. Maybe Chris Brown has just moved on from Rihanna but still wants her to be happy. And maybe we should all just move on from the drama because evidently they have, if she is not upset with his congratulations then why should we?
they certainly not wasting time. shouldn’t rush a baby.
Never throw shade at someone who hasn’t thrown you any shade….Breezy hasn’t said anything about Rock, and he’s throwing subliminal shots in his music…insecurity bro…we all have it, just don’t act out on it like that
Well he did beat the fuck out of his woman, we all seen what he did to her. It doesn’t matter if it happened before Rocky was with her, he’s still a major pos. Don’t pretend you’d be friendly with a guy who did that to the mother of your child.
Let bygones be bygones. If Rhianna herself has moved on, established a new relationship and is celebrating the joys of motherhood, who are you to ruin her moment by bringing up bad experiences of the past? I also pray you never get reminded about past mistakes you regret with the way talking about Breezy because karma is real. SMH
