Chris Brown Shuts Down Rumors He's Cheating On Karrueche With Rihanna

UPDATE-Rihanna maybe smoking it up in Hawaii and tweeting sexy pictures but Chris Brown and his reps are busy trying to put out flames that he’s cheating on his longtime girlfriend Karrueche with Rihanna.

Just weeks after Chris Brown sent a cryptic tweet “Love U more than u know!”, Rihanna tweeted less than a minute later, “I’ll always love u #1LOVE,” the once-troubled duo are now being bombarded with rumors of secretly hooking up. No love tweets from Rihanna and Chris are safe.

Almost nearing the three-year mark of their infamous pre-Grammy altercation in 2009, sources are claiming Chris and RiRi have met on several occasions.

“They meet up very casually,” a source tells Us Magazine. “Rihanna comes to see him anytime she’s in L.A. They can’t get enough of each other. I don’t see it ending well.”

Brown, 22, and Rihanna’s, 23, split were manufactured after the court placed a mandatory restraining order on Brown as part of his sentence. The restraining order has been relaxed since February and now allows for contact.

As for the ‘Man Down’ singer, she’s remaining mum on the rumors while the “Deuces” singer rep made a statement.

“He and Rihanna are just friends. He’s not cheating.”

Maybe’s Karrueche Tran needed to get that on record?

Sadly the statement from Chris Brown’s rep will only quiet the rumors temporarily as we near the Grammy Awards next month. It will mark the first time Chris and Rihanna will be in the same venue. Rihanna is already scheduled to perform while Brown who’s returning for the first time since 2009 hopes to snag a spot.

Is it time to let Rihanna and Chris Brown live their lives?

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.
