FAME is right, Rihanna was successful before the incident yes but her celebrity grew tremendously after the incident. She was kind of like P!nk before the incident, she had hits and her album sales were decent but she wasn't cared about as a celebrity.

It is both of their biggest moment. The difference is, Chris' biggest moment is because of something HE did, because of HIS own actions. Not because of someone else
I'm concerned that this is how you develop thoughts.
...And Tik Tok was bigger than anything Chris Brown has ever done, and look where Ke$ha is at now?
Hits do not equal star power or being established. [2]
2006:

Top Billboard 200 (Albums) Artists: 36. Rihanna
2007:
Top Hot 100 (Singles) Artists: 10. Rihanna
Top Billboard 200 (Albums) Artists: 44. Rihanna
2008:
Top Hot 100 (Singles) Artists: 2. Rihanna

All those hits, and nobody was buying her albums. Nobody was buying tickets to her tours. She had no acclaim, and wasn't a top public figure.
No... she wasn't a huge star anybody cared about until 2010. Everything literally proves it. Rihanna was only as relevant as the song she had on the radio until Loud.
Let's not forget how she was performing at the Kids Choice Awards for Rated R months earlier. When you can't move albums, can't tour, have no acclaim, and perform at Kids Choice Awards you have no starpower.
