Chris Brown Responds to Rihanna Allegedly Burning His Gifts?
Vlad TV reports:
Rihanna and Chris Brown were thrust back into the gossip headlines today after it came to light that the Barbadian songstress allegedly burned all the letters and gifts from Breezy. She was reportedly upset over Brown saying that his court-ordered anger management classes were sexist.
It seems Brown took the rumors seriously, as he posted a very direct message on Twitter that could only be meant for Rihanna.
“Back turned walking away from the situation. Hamisheh asegh!,” he tweeted.
The phrase “Hamisheh asegh” is a Farsi (Persian language) saying which means “perpetual lover.”
What do you think, are things truly over for good between the two?

Teyana Taylor Speaks On Rihanna Beef On Hot 97
Teyana Taylor got into it with Rihanna yesterday on twitter . So he called in to Hot 97 earlier today to explain how the beef started. She also called out Rihanna as a “cyber bully”. Read the full conversation below via Necole Bitchie
Necole Bitchie Reports:
On why Rihanna made fun of her
I really don’t understand. I’ve been in the studio recording my album, minding my business, staying focused or whatever. One day, which was yesterday, I randomly was on my Instagram page and I had heard that she made a video. I’m not following her on Instagram so I didn’t get a chance to see it. I went to Twitter and someone sent me the video. I felt it was really harsh, you know what I’m saying? Because it’s like you got a dude singing “Caught Up in the Rapture of Love” with big hair, a snap back and some Jordans on. I just sung that a week ago. I put up a video a week ago singing “Caught Up in the Rapture of Love” and of course my hair was curly, so whatever.
So, for her to go and make a video, it wasn’t no coincidence. “Caught Up in the Rapture of Love” is not a recent song. She knew what she was doing. I know her very well and I made that very clear in my tweet.
On if she thought Rihanna was being playful or malicious
I think that her fans are loud and they condone her behavior. She does this to everybody and it’s not always fun and games all the time. You do it. You get away with it. You tried me. You clap and I clapped back. That’s what that was. You didn’t think that it would go as far as it did but you can’t do that with everybody. One day you’re gonna bark up the wrong tree.
On Rihanna being a cyber bully
I really do think she’s a cyber bully. I really do. I think she has dope music. I’m not no hater. Dope music is dope music. She’s a pretty girl, but that don’t mean you can just bully everybody. It don’t work like that.
On Rihanna posting her net worth
We all know that these websites…those with the net worths, these are inaccurate. She went all the way online to find the lowest net worth which is false. Let’s get deeper, everybody thinks she’s worth $90 million and she’s ain’t have time. But she had time to go on Google, you had time to fix up pictures, you had time to make me your main picture, but still you tweet, I’m not gonna “@” her, I’m not gonna make her famous. At the end of the day, I work hard. You know I work hard. My s–t is gon’ pop regardless.
This wasn’t no publicity stunt. This wasn’t no free publicity. This wasn’t none of that. Clearly I was on her brain for her to even be making fun of me.
Rihanna Responds To Teyana Taylor & Teyana Fires Back
Teyana Taylor took a shot at Rihanna for mocking her on Instagram earlier, and now Rihanna has taken her shot back at Teyana Taylor below. Rihanna don’t want to fight Teyana Taylor in real life, that shit will end badly. Check out Rihanna’s tweets and what Teyana Taylor had to say back below.
Teyana Taylor Throws Shots Back At Rihanna
Rihinna posted a video mocking Teyana Taylor’s video today a few hours ago and Teyana Taylor has responded to Rihanna via twitter:

Chris Brown Opens Up About Anger Issues, Rihanna/Karrueche
Chris Brown sits down with Jet Magazine and speaks on his anger issues, Jay Z, Trayvon Martin and his love triangle with Rihanna & Karrueche. Read the except below.
On the media:
“The media is full of yellow journalism. A lot of things I say, they will flip it. Instead of them getting off on all the positive stuff that I do, they will bring out the negative and draw out that story.”On Jay Z:
“No disrespect, because I’m a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that [Jay Z] stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass.”On Trayvon Martin
“I identify with Trayvon 100 percent as far as living in 2013 and still dealing with blatant racism. This generation is so used to racism that it’s normal; we don’t care. We aren’t on drugs or catching AIDS, but they still look at us as ni**as.”On anger issues:
“You have to go through the struggle before you can get to the good part. I don’t try to lash out at people, or be as mad or impulsive as I used to be. I got to the point where it’s only so much you can take from the master, you feel me? I’ve taken my fair share of lashings.”On his relationships with Karrueche Tran and Rihanna:
“Relationships are the most difficult part. That’s why I was honest with those two girls and I put out that video. My ex and I broke up because of the “situation” and she had moved on. I fell in love with another girl. Then my ex came back, so it was like, ‘What is a man to do?’ I told them both the truth. I didn’t do the sucker role.”
