Rihanna Defends Her Collaborations With Chris Brown!!!

RIHANNA and CHRIS stunned the world when they featured each other on the remixes of their hit singles, “Cake,” and “Turn Up The Music.”

In a interview with RYAN SEACREST  on his morning radio show, RIHANNA explains why she and CHRIS made the decision to collaborate together.

“The first song that came about was ‘Birthday Cake.’ I mean we ended up recording them at the same time and executing them together, but I reached out to him about doing ‘Birthday Cake’ because that’s the only person that really–it made sense to do the record. Just as a musician despite everything else that was going to be the person.”

RIHANNA said she mulled over using a rapper instead, but said, “I’ve done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown.”

RIHANNA admits after CHRIS got on her track, he wanted to return the favor. “It was a trade off. We did two records. One for my fans. One for his fans, and that way our fans can come together. There shouldn’t be a divide. You know? It’s music, and it’s innocent.”

RIHANNA and CHRIS BROWN are anything but innocent, but we can see that their intentions were good…we think.
