Rihanna Posts Sexy Picture on Twitter

Rihanna Twitter – There have been rumors of reconciliation between Rihanna and Chris Brown for months and according to various reports, Rihanna isn’t worried about discretion anymore.  Yesterday, Rihanna tweeted a picture of herself wearing a black studded bikini top sticking out her tongue with the caption “You’re jealous.” This picture could be completely innocent, however, according to Hollywood Life, her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown likes to use social media to keep tabs on her so the idea that she is sending him subliminal messages is possible.

“Chris [is] on the net and Twitter way too much. He [knows] everything that [is] going on. He saw Rihanna in [Barbados]…and he thought his girl looked good,” a source told Hollywood Life. “He secretly [checks] on [Rihanna] and s**t, just like she [does] him, so they know what the other is up to next when they’re not together. They’re trying to connect on the low.”

Of course, this directly contradicts what another Brown “source” said just two days ago. The friend of Chris Brown said Brown is happy with girlfriend Karrueche Tran. “I don’t know man, I guess the [boy] feels SAFE with K.T. [Karrueche Tran]. No problems and sh*t except for when he booted her for a few days,” the source told Hip Hop Hollywood. “But other than that, they really don’t fight and sh*t. She’s cool.”

According to the source, Tran provides peace that Brown couldn’t get with Rihanna. “She listens to him and the one thing she don’t do that Ri-Ri did was mouth the f*ck off. He can’t stand a b*tch that be doing that—all that loud mouth talking and being extra with everything,” the source continued. “I’m not dissing Ri-Ri or anything, so don’t even make me come off sounding like that or else. He loves that girl and she loves him. But K.T. is chill. They really do get along and she not extra. She’s calm as f*ck.”

We’re not trained in speech patterns, but don’t these two contradictory “sources” sound a lot alike?

As for Rihanna, her sexy persona may or may not be catching the attention of her ex but it might have cost her an endorsement. The new head of skincare company Nivea says Rihanna will not be the face of his company because her image does not promote the values of the company—although she has posed in advertisements for the company in the past. “Rihanna is a no go,” said Stefan Heidenreich, chairman of Nivea’s parent company Beiersdorf . “I do not understand how to bring the core brand of Nivea in conjunction with Rihanna. Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability.”

Rihanna has never been one to take a diss lying down and posted a picture of Heidenreich on her Twitter, with the subtitle “no caption necessary.”

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.
