Rihanna: “Very Close” With Chris Brown

Rihanna has once more denied her romance with singer Chris Brown, insisting she is “just good friends” with the “Kiss Kiss” star.

The celebrity pair has been inseparable for months, vacationing together, being photographed smooching and even exchanging expensive jewellery and getting matching tattoos etched – seemingly confirming they are romantically involved.

But the “Umbrella” hitmaker insisted that they are only friends, and they are definitely not sleeping together.

During an appearance on “The View” yesterday, Rihanna revealed, “We hang out a lot. We are very close. He’s an amazing person. But we are not dating. We are very close, very, very close.”

When grilled on the difference between their friendship and ‘dating’, Rihanna replied, “There’s a big difference and I think you know what. Whatever! No one else is buying that line, least of all Chris’s mother.”

Over the weekend, while Rihanna visited GBK Productions’ Fire & Ice gifting lounge for the BET Awards, along with Chris and his mother, Joyce Hawkins, a source overhead Joyce saying, “Rihanna is the sexiest and sweetest girl Chris has ever dated.”
