There was a lot of controversy when the news leaked in February that Chris Brown and Rihanna had collaborated on two songs. Now Rihanna is speaking out about the pair-up.
As the singer told Elle, she’s not apologizing for reconciling with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown after his 2009 conviction for assaulting her.
“The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently. It’s very hard for me to accept, but I get it,” Rihanna said. “People end up wasting their time on the blogs or whatever, ranting away, and that’s all right. Because tomorrow I’m still going to be the same person. I’m still going to do what I want to do.”
In fact, Rihanna views her breakup with Chris Brown as a liberating moment.
“It gave me guns,” she said. “I was like, well, f–k. They know more about me than I want them to know. It’s embarrassing. But that was my opening. That was my liberation, my moment of bring it. […] Now you know that, so you can say what you want about it. I don’t have anything to hide.”
Rihanna will be featured in the May issue of Elle, available April 17. What do you think of her reconnecting with Chris Brown?
