The New York Post has the details:
Management firm Roc Nation, owned by Jay-Z, advised the pop superstar to stay far from Brown, but sources tell us she’s defied their orders, after putting Brown’s voice on her suggestive song “Birthday Cake,” then tweeting about Brown and his girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
“Her management banned her from reuniting with Chris, but she said she’ll do whatever the hell she wants to,” said a source, adding, “
Rihanna is rebelling. She says they have been working her too hard and she wants some time to herself. They fear she’ll secretly record an album with Brown, just to defy them.”
Meanwhile, in the May issue of Elle, Rihanna says of any backlash over a re-association with Chris: “
People end up wasting their time on the blogs 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.”
She says after the fallout from Chris brutally assaulting her, she was given an opportunity to express herself more openly: “
That was my opening . . . one less skeleton in the closet, one less burden, one less secret; now you know that, so you can say what you want . . . I don’t have anything to hide.”
And perhaps this little tidbit on how Rihanna views love will shed some light on why she’s so messed up. After recently swimming with sharks in Hawaii for her film debut Battleship, she says, “When you know you like a guy, or when you’ve been in love . . . That’s the same feeling you have swimming with sharks. That’s the same feeling you have when doing anything daring, risky, spontaneous, or unpredictable. I think having those butterflies is the closest thing to being in love . . . And when you play it safe, you don’t feel anything at all.”
