Chris Brown Hits Up Rihanna's Party; Leaves LA With Karrueche Tran

UPDATE-Chris Brown jetted out of Los Angeles on Tuesday with his girlfriend Karrueche Tran. Brown was fresh off his first Grammy win for Best R&B album and two performances following a three year hiatus after he was charged with assault against then girlfriend Rihanna. In the weeks leading up to the Grammys, Brown’s return to the stage and a possible reconciliation with ex girlfriend Rihanna took center stage. Post Grammys, Chris is learning the hard way that many are not willing to forgive or forget. The reaction to his Grammy appearance was harsh, persistent and unforgiving.

“Why wasn’t Chris Brown fired from ‘music’ (public dancing) when he beat up that girl?…Dear ‘thugs’ and ‘gangstas’ of the hip-hop industry, how is it that none of you ‘handled’ Chris Brown? #thuglife #prisonrules #getsome,”Ethan Suplee tweeted.

The negative reaction seemed to have fired up the ‘Turn up the Music’ singer when he tweeted,

“HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That’s the ultimate F**** OFF!”

Before adding, “IM BACK SO WATCH MY BaCK as I walk away from all this negativity #teambreezygrammy.”

The former tweet was later deleted but others continue to appear like,

“Strange how we pick and choose who to hate! Let me ask u this. Our society is full of rappers (which I listen to) who have sold drugs (poisoning).

A source told Radar Online that a third party sent the tweets,

“Someone does his postings on Twitter and when he saw that he ordered it taken down immediately.”

With that said, Chris Brown needs to take a few cues of Ashton Kutcher and take a break from Twitter!

In a new update, a party goer confirms Chris did indeed attend Rihanna’s early birthday party on Sunday night along with Katy Perry and Bruno Mars.

“All I can say, CB was invited and she (Rihanna) was acting like the happiest girl on her birthday and probably got what she asked for,” tweeted on witness.

“By the end of the night [Rihanna and Katy] started a cake fight and were dancing together while Bruno and Chris looked on open-mouthed, cheering,” another told the UK Mirror. Before adding, “RiRi made sure Chris was having a good time but then he kept a low profile, spending most of the night in a corner with a few pals.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
