Rihanna recently spoke to Ryan Seacrest on his 102.7 KIIS radio show to plug her upcoming film debut Battleship. During the interview, the Def Jam songstress spoke on her controversial decision to re-team with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown on the remix to her song “Birthday Cake” and Brown’s “Turn Up the Music.”
Although their recent collaborations confused many listeners given Brown’s 2009 assault case against her, Rihanna explained that it only made sense to work with her former beau given the style of the songs. She added that the collaborations are innocent and meant to be a bridge between his and her fans.
“The first song that came about was ‘Birthday Cake.’ I mean we ended up recording them at the same time and executing them together, but I reached out to him about doing ‘Birthday Cake’ because that’s the only person that really – it made sense to do the record,” she explained. “Just as a musician despite everything else that was going to be the person. You know I thought about rappers, and I’ve done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown. So I wanted him on the track, and then in turn he was like ‘Why don’t you do the remix to my track?’ and it was a trade off. We did two records. One for my fans. One for his fans, and that way our fans can come together. There shouldn’t be a divide. You know? It’s music, and it’s innocent.”

They should just do a collabration album together that would be FIRE! LOL u know at this rate they are going to end up getting married and possibly having a baby together now imagine that little Chris Breezy Ri Ri Jr. LOL but be careful Rihanna though don’t let this nigga beat on u no more next time he tries kick his ASS!!!
history finna repeat itself
Rihanna picked the right man for the remix, after all, Chris Brown is known for making hits.
Lmao
I dunno. It’s her decision, and we can’t possibly know their personal relationship – but it just feels like an odd decision to even slightly reconcile with him. Ever since that incident, I’ve completely switched off from Chris Brown. But then I’m not his audience – his female audience seems to have forgiven him for some reason. *shrug*
WHAT CHALL MEAN IKE BEAT TINA FOR YEARS!!!!!!!BEFORE IT CAME TO AN END
Stupid broad…lost all respect for this whore..No respect for herself or women who have been abused.
I hope she gets her ass beat again. There, I said it.

nothin here she is just one of those chicks that thinks it’s cool to be with a badboi. wait chris isn’t one..she just tryn to hop on the bandwagon to get some of his fans since she doesn’t seem to progress in album sales
If your mum punched you in the head would you stop loving her? NO,, yes he beat the black off her and he is a cheese ball but clearly she loved him.. and she was stoinking kanye and he found out amd snapped.
Yeah but it wasn’t LOVE to begin with. LOVE don’t hurt. Co-dependance does.
This is what happens in the continuous quest for attention, fame, and record sales. You continue to throw all respect out the proverbial window.
I’m surprised the talentless hack lasted as long as she did. Guess she stopped sucking the higher ups dicks and they said since you stopped, so shall we.
Cancel this bitch…I’ll buy a new one – Nino Brown
Y U mad bro? She’s hella fine(finer than ur sisters and girlfriend) and I would fuck the shit outta her.
I agree. I can’t stand this bitch, anything for attention. She even admits it…. She’s only still around because she drops an album like every year (That someone else writes and produces for her smh)
“Y U mad bro? She’s hella fine(finer than ur sisters and girlfriend) and I would fuck the shit outta her.”
Thanks for your irrelevant, nonsensical, has nothing to do with the facts and the comment I initially posted, you thirsty bitch ass nigga.
Niggas post some of the most ridiculous logic on these sites. Tomato paste head bitch.
And big up to the cat who agreed with me and his points. Bitch doesn’t play an instrument nor write a damn song. All she does is harmonize shit off key and continue to lead blind sheep into buying her albums…which quite frankly the blind sheep are slowing from doing now cause they have a new bitch to flock towards.
Nigga u mad stupid. Why u hating on a bitch that u have NOTHING to do with? Did she fuck ur dad? FOH! Hating bitch niggas make me puke
