Rihanna and Chris Brown are both influential artists in contemporary music with a large fan base, but their love stories are not as well-publicized as their careers. During more than 10 years in the entertainment industry, the strange story between Rihanna and Chris Brown has made countless newspapers. This “best friends turned lovers” couple broke up, got reborn, and then broke up a second time, to the regret of millions of fans. Unfortunately, the once beautiful love story had to end with trials surrounding reports of abuse and regrets, waiting after the dream.
First love is like a dream When they first entered the entertainment industry, both Rihanna and Chris Brown were predicted by big names in the industry to become “great artists”. With the guidance of music producer Evan Rogers, Riri had the opportunity to collaborate with Jay Z and start an impressive career with the album “Music of the Sun”, the single “Pon de Replay”. That same year, Chris also swept the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the single “Run it!”. This rich couple quickly became the “prince” and “prince” of R&B music and were set up by shippers for their vision even before they met.
The first time they met, 17-year-old singer Rihanna introduced the performance of her 1-year-old close rapper at the 2005 Vibe Awards, the two had almost no interaction…
In 2007, Rihanna became a phenomenon when she suddenly transformed with a personality-filled asymmetrical bob hairstyle and became famous all over the world after a series of hits “Umbrella”, “Take a bow” and “Please don’t stop the music”, while the album “Exclusive” also made Chris a superstar. It was not difficult for two singers of the same age, singing the same music genre and being famous to come together when they had so many opportunities to stand on the same stage. They quickly “fell in love” and dating rumors began when Rihanna appeared at Chris’s extremely magnificent 18th birthday party that year.
In 2008, Rihanna was so impressed by the voice and charisma of her friend, who was one year younger than her, that she invited him to contribute a part to her recording produced by Jay Z. After performing together on many concert stages, Rihanna and Chris recorded their first song together – “Bad Girl”.
In an interview in the spring of 2008, when asked about his relationship with Rihanna, the young rapper still denied it: “We are close like siblings and love spending time together”. Indeed, the “sisters” were caught holding hands in many places, from swimming pools, shopping malls to the beaches of Riri’s native Barbados.
That summer, rumors of the couple getting engaged arose, although both denied it. However, the diamond ring on Riri’s finger only made fans more certain that the relationship would soon be announced. At least, fans were assured that their ship had been pushed far away.
In the early years, their love story was as beautiful as a painting when both achieved many achievements in their careers, were recognized by the public and always had happy times together.
