While the 23-year-old singer was performing in Barbados for the Carnival, called Kadooment Day Parade that took place earlier this week. She was spotted dancing up close and personal with Negus, and sources say that the two have been pretty much inseparable her entire visit. The two have also been seen together at Rihanna’s estate.

“Negus has hardly left her side. He was her first true love. The ladies here all love him – they call him the Love God. They’ve hooked up in the past when she’s been back in Barbados but now things have progressed into a proper relationship again.”

Rihanna and Negus used to date back when she was a teen looking to make it big. The two split up after she left to the States to jumpstart her musical career. Then tabloids reported that she was on the rebound with Negus after the breakup between her and Chris Brown.

No one from Rihanna’s party have commented on these recent reports, so these are in fact still rumors. But pictures don’t lie!

Rihanna, who was first reluctant of using Twitter, tweeted throughout the day on June 11th, thanking PTC for making her YouTube video a big success. It received over 20 million views.

“I bring the clip to u, and u take over from there! And I love that u love them! And I love u guys even more… there’s video/movie/TV world and there’s real life!” For those who understand the message behind the clip, she stated, “I’m just impressed that u kids know the difference! Keep it up to every girl/boy empowered by this….u are the real winners here!” Rihanna tweeted.

Even with all of the controversy and complaints from PTC, Rihanna’s fans understood the video’s underlying message. Rihanna also tweeted:

“In making that into a mini-movie or a video, we needed to go back to why it happened, because obviously she’s not a cold-blooded killer…and we decided to hone in on a very serious matter that people are afraid to address.”

Now comfortable with talking about the assault in 2009, she went for a tough image to hide her emotional scars. But now, the star is taking things by the helm and will launch a tour, Loud, to support her album. With her latest single, What’s My Name?, continue to soar the charts as her voice continues to be one of the strongest there is in the music industry.

Rihanna respects Chris Browns’ career, and wishes to put the past behind her, especially as she continues to progress her own. She didn’t want to hamper Chris Browns’ professional career, and she aims to attain closure between them as they go their separate ways.

Rihanna is truly stronger now, facing the issues she was so ashamed of in 2009. In fact, with a more positive resolve, the top selling singer continues to wow the crowds with her unique style and dynamic singing, which accounts for the style she embraces now: freer and more confident.

So what’s the deal? Well, this may be harsher than jail time (sarcasm) — Chris Brown has received five years of supervised probation, six months of community service in his native state Virginia, plus the five years he has to stay away from Rihanna (this restraining order goes both ways). It’s funny how they say Brown accepted the plea bargain to show the world that domestic violence won’t be tolerated, but on the contrary, the associations that are involved with female abuse weren’t too happy about those terms (maybe some jail time would’ve sufficed). Chris will have to have to pick up trash and clean up graffiti around his home state of Virginia. This whole dilemma has already taken effect on his hip hop career, including canceling concerts and a performance at the Grammys.

Being that the charges were filed in California, Chris Brown will still have to make appearances every three months on the west coast. It looks like Brown made the right choice with the plea bargain because he was facing up to five years in prison if convicted. His sentencing begins on August 5th, 2009.

Not sure about everyone else, but I can’t wait until all of this is over. I wonder what will happen to Chris Brown if/when he is found guilty. I know that the U.S. isn’t too lenient in domestic abuse cases, so we’ll have to see how that turns out. Then plus, he plead not guilty, so that will make it worse on his part if/when found guilty. Maybe he’ll be like the other celebrities who jut get a slap on the wrist — sorry for Michael Vick who seemed to be used as a “lesson” to teach the rich folk that they can’t get away with everything.

Well, I’ll definitely keep posts up on the Rihanna and Chirs Brown case. On my opinion, with all the evidence and photos that were taken, I don’t think he’ll walk away clean. If it’s not jail time, it’ll most definitely be fines and community service.

I heard on a radio station that he is wanted for attempted murder, but I think that is quite extreme for a couple quarrel. Not sure if that is true. I also heard that Chris Brown showered Rihanna with gifts like a diamond necklace, flowers and other things for her birthday. There have been some speculation that the R&B princess might take Chris Brown back, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. What do you think about the whole ordeal? Does Chris deserve to be forgiven or should Rihanna press heavy charges that will continue to ruin his career? Most of his ad campaigns have already been pulled (Double Mint gum commercials) and some radio stations aren’t playing his songs anymore.
