Rihanna Dines With Magic Johnson In St. Tropez

Rihanna has friends in high places and they converged on a yacht in Saint Tropez…and no it wasn’t Chris Brown. The sexy Bajan born pop star flaunted her envious bikini body amongst friends and NBA Hall of Famer and serial entrepreneur Magic Johnson.

Magic and his wife Cookie Johnson are also on vacation on the French Riviera and happened to be parked next to RihRih’s luxury yacht. Naturally the celebrities joined forces and played rock, paper, scissors to determine who’s yacht they would enjoy dinner on. Looks like Rihanna was the eventual winner after Johnson tweeted: “We had a great time hanging with @Rihanna & her friends on her yacht.” She later retweeted the message,

“@MagicJohnson: We had a great time hanging with @Rihanna & her friends on her yacht.” We did too! Thank you.”

When not enjoying dinner with her celebrity friends the 24-year hard working entertainer was cruising on a jet ski, smoking, drinking and floating away in a tube. (see PHOTOS below)

Meanwhile the media, namely MTV, has created a timeline of Twitter messages that imply a Rihanna and Chris Brown reunion is nearing in Saint Tropez. Rapper Ludacris began the speculation when he tweeted, “St Tropez France here I come.” Chris Brown who recently dodge rumors he broke up with longtime girlfriend Karrueche Tran followed with this tweet, “This ni–a Luda flying the damn helicopter! I’m shi–ing bricks right now” and “Landed on the boat!”

The most we can confirm is the former couple will be on the island at the same time. But some how this tweet from Rihanna is being analyzed as a subliminal tweet to Brown , “Touch down baby, help me pick out my fit.”

Not saying that a reunion can’t happen but when it does we’re sure Rihanna and Chris will announce it on Twitter!

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.
