Chris Brown Shuts Down Rumors He's Cheating On Karrueche With Rihanna

UPDATE-Rihanna maybe smoking it up in Hawaii and tweeting sexy pictures but Chris Brown and his reps are busy trying to put out flames that he’s cheating on his longtime girlfriend Karrueche with Rihanna.

Just weeks after Chris Brown sent a cryptic tweet “Love U more than u know!”, Rihanna tweeted less than a minute later, “I’ll always love u #1LOVE,” the once-troubled duo are now being bombarded with rumors of secretly hooking up. No love tweets from Rihanna and Chris are safe.

Almost nearing the three-year mark of their infamous pre-Grammy altercation in 2009, sources are claiming Chris and RiRi have met on several occasions.

“They meet up very casually,” a source tells Us Magazine. “Rihanna comes to see him anytime she’s in L.A. They can’t get enough of each other. I don’t see it ending well.”

Brown, 22, and Rihanna’s, 23, split were manufactured after the court placed a mandatory restraining order on Brown as part of his sentence. The restraining order has been relaxed since February and now allows for contact.

As for the ‘Man Down’ singer, she’s remaining mum on the rumors while the “Deuces” singer rep made a statement.

“He and Rihanna are just friends. He’s not cheating.”

Maybe’s Karrueche Tran needed to get that on record?

Sadly the statement from Chris Brown’s rep will only quiet the rumors temporarily as we near the Grammy Awards next month. It will mark the first time Chris and Rihanna will be in the same venue. Rihanna is already scheduled to perform while Brown who’s returning for the first time since 2009 hopes to snag a spot.

Is it time to let Rihanna and Chris Brown live their lives?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
