Chris Brown Resurfaces After Rihanna’s Oprah Interview

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Singer Chris Brown was spotted for the first time since his former girlfriend and current pop superstar Rihanna admitted that she was still in love with the controversial singer.

Brown was on the set of Compton rapper The Game’s new music video for his newest single “Celebration.” The song also features Wiz Khalifa, Tyga and Lil’ Wayne. Brown stopped filming at one point to take pictures with fans that had gathered on location. The shoot took place in Northridge, California.

Always in the spotlight, Brown is again a hot topic after Rihanna recently opened up to Oprah Winfrey about the two’s tumultuous past and current interactions. “We’ve been working on our friendship again and now we’re very close friends,” she said. “And that’s not anything we’re going to try to change.”

While the two are still just friends, Rihanna also admitted it’s hard to see Brown sometimes. “It’s awkward because I still love him,” she admitted.

“My stomach drops and I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me. I have to maintain it and suppress it,” she continued, saying, “When you don’t understand those feelings you can make a lot of mistakes.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
