Saying that there has been a ton of drama surrounding the love lives of international superstars Chris Brown and Rihanna is putting it mildly, but drama seems to be the running theme of their romantic encounters. And of course, everyone will recall that infamous moment many years ago when the two of them got into a violent altercation in 2009, but they've both moved on since then into flourishing careers. And there appear to be no signs of slowing down.

Back during their romantic relationship Brown and Rihanna were America's Sweethearts as the two were just beginning their careers. Who would have known that the two of them would become the outstanding celebrities they've blossomed into, even though their names do come with a bit of notoriety. Brown, for the most part, is still wildly popular and continues to create music that his fans gobble up without hesitation, while Rihanna has taken her focus off of music and turned into a powerhouse fashion maven.

But in the aftermath of their broken relationship drama seemed to follow them, and that drama came in the form of the Champagne Papi himself; Drake. In fact, things became so heated when word of an alleged affair between Rihanna and Drake came to light that the two young brothas allegedly got into a fight. At the time of the incident the New York Daily News reported;
Drake, accompanied by a menacing 15-member entourage, incited the predawn brawl by rejecting Brown's peace offering — a $2,000 bottle of Ace of Spades champagne — and sending back an incendiary note, police sources said.

"I'm still f------ Rihanna," it read.
Once the note arrived, all hell broke loose at the table shared by Brown, his model-girlfriend Karrueche Tran and the rest of his entourage, sources said.

“I think we just both grew up to the point that that person that was in the middle of us is like, no longer a part of either of our lives currently and I have the utmost love and respect for her,” he said in an interview with Rap Radar of Rihanna. “I think of her as family more than anything.”
And as far as Rihanna is concerned she's happy they've moved on, because she has as well.
“She is happy that they figured out to be on the same page, but at the end of the day she is worrying about herself and her career and not putting much more focus than needed on Chris and Drake’s situation. But again she is happy that they are cool at least,” the source continued.
Looks like they've all moved forward. Now if only Rihanna can move forward and give her fans the music they've been waiting for all 2019.
