Chris Brown Confirms End of Relationship With Rihanna

Shortly after Chris Brown’s father expressed his disapproval of his son’s girlfriend, Brown confirmed in an interview that the couple had split and this time it doesn’t appear that he has any intentions of getting back together with her – for another week or so.

It seems as if the Chris Brown and Rihanna not so merry-go-round relationship will never come to a stop.

The on-again, off-again couple has called it quits once again, but this time Brown claims that he is giving it all up to just focus on his music.

During Breezy’s interview with the radio show Kyle and Jackie,  the R&B bad boy said he is ready to just “do it solo.”

“I mean, at the end of the day, shawty doing her own thang, she on the road,” he said. “It’s always gonna be love. I’m a grown man, just gotta fast forward.”

As usual, the love is still there between RiRi and Breezy.

“I’m always gonna love that person,” he added. “I can’t be focused on wife-ing someone that young. I need to be the best Chris Brown I can be.”

While we aren’t so sure Brown will be able to keep his paws off Rihanna for long, he did prove that he is over his fling with Karrueche Tran.

During his birthday bash last Friday, Tran was caught partying along with Chris and his camp, but the tattooed crooner didn’t seem interested in his ex.

“He didn’t appear to be paying much attention to her and was partying around a lot of girls,” one onlooker said of Brown.

The split comes as no surprise after Brown’s dad publicly bashed his son’s choice of a girlfriend.

Just a few days ago Brown’s father, Clinton Brown, revealed that he never wanted RiRi and his son together in the first place.

“I personally really didn’t want him and Rihanna back together,” he said.

He went on to explain that the Bajan beauty’s party attitude concerned him and he was worried that she would be a poor influence on his son – and he might be on to something.

Remember when Brown was just a humble young man playing a supporting role in “This Christmas”? Now he is popping off on valet over $10. We aren’t holding Rihanna responsible for his actions, but we’re just saying there is certainly a correlation there.

Anyway, Breezy is still very fond of her and respects all the hard work she has put into her career, but it seems as if that is just too much to balance with a full time relationship.

“She’s touring, working her a** off and he’s working his off in the studio,” a source close to the controversial lovers said.

With the “Don’t Judge Me” crooner also releasing a song begging the love of his life to put down the bottle, this is the most hopeful that we’ve ever been that the relationship could actually be coming to an official end. But we also know not to get our hopes up with these two.

Either way, we really hope both Rihanna and Brown take the time apart to focus on themselves. They could both really use it.

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.
