Chris Brown's Girlfriend Karrueche Tran Hangs With Draya Michelle

Chris Brown’s girlfriends like each. Karrueche Tran who is the current and ‘Basketball Wives’ reality star Draya Michele is the ex. If you’re unfamiliar with Chris’ love life, Draya was his girlfriend following the tumultuous breakup with pop star Rihanna. Their relationship didn’t last long but apparently there wasn’t any bad blood and the reality star insisted Chris never spoke ill of Rihanna.

Karrueche Tran has now been in the picture for 2 years and from the looks of things she’ll be around for some time.

With cameras rolling for ‘Basketball Wives: LA’ Draya Michele, hosted an all-white party for her swimsuit collection Mint Swim last night (Thursday). Draya’s co-stars Brooke Bailey, Gloria and Laura Govan joined Karrueche in their tightest white to show support.

Despite her chummy relationship with Chris’ ex-girlfriend, Karrueche isn’t as friendly with Rihanna. The pop star revealed this to Oprah, “{We are} not seeing each other.” But the two have been “working on our friendship again, and now we’re very, very close friends. We built up a trust again. And that’s it. We love each other and we probably always will.”

After the ‘Where Have You Been’ singer poured out her soul to Oprah Karrueche tweeted a simple ‘LOL’ and that said a lot about their future together as possible friends.

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.
