Friends Desperate to Break-Up Rihanna and Chris Brown
Rihanna and Chris Brown have rekindled their romance, and friends of both singers are desperately trying to put an end to their relationship following fears that it may end badly again.
Less than one week after the release of "Birthday Cake," a song in which the pair collaborated, reports that they are back together have begun swirling.
While friends and family reportedly fear that Rihanna and Brown are making a mistake by giving their relationship a second try, sources suspect that there is very little that anyone can say or do to break them apart, according to TMZ.

"You can't hold back love," one source explained to TMZ.
After Rihanna was brutally beaten by Brown in 2009 friends and family of the singer reportedly urged her to cut ties with him in a bid to protect her public image, particularly because 22-year-old Brown received widespread backlash for the assault.
Although Rihanna ended her relationship with Brown immediately after the incident, sources say that the singer is still madly in love with the Grammy award-winning artist and has become more defiant toward those trying to interfere with her and Brown's relationship.
"Chris was a strong first love for her that she wants to hold on to. They had a violent, stormy relationship. Her friends obviously think this reunion is crazy -- but nobody can tell Rihanna what to do," a friend of Rihanna's told Us magazine.
In September various media outlets, including 102 Jams radio and Blind Gossip, reported that Rihanna came close to leaving Roc Nation, Jay-Z's record label, that manages her after feeling pressured by Jay-Z to stop seeing Brown.
Despite growing criticisms from friends and fans, Rihanna and Brown united for their latest song which immediately went viral on social networking site YouTube.
Brown is also said to still be in love with Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty, despite his existing relationship with aspiring model Karrueche Tran.
Rihanna recently invited Brown to celebrate her Birthday earlier this month, and the pair stunned onlookers as they reportedly appeared to be romantically involved.
"Rihanna and Chris were very much together. They arrived together around 1:00 a.m., and Chris stood by Rihanna as she cut into her birthday cake," a source told Hollywood Life.
