Chris Brown and Rihanna, Karrueche Tran News: Talks Girlfriends in New Interview
In a new radio interview with Hot 97, Chris Brown is spilling the beans about Rihanna, his reaction to her rumored relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, and his relationship with girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
Brown was asked if he had any plans to send Rihanna a birthday text.
"Nah, I ain't getting slapped. My girl would've slapped me," he told "The Breakfast Club" hosts, referring to Tran.
When asked about his take on the "Umbrella" singer's rumored relationship with the "Titanic" actor, Brown said, "I respect her enough to respect her privacy and her space, because I can't believe everything I hear in the news. But what I see, I'll be like, 'OK cool, there might be something else going on.'"
"In that situation, I just tip my hat. I'm not a hater. I'm not envious, I don't feel jealous," he clarified.
The singer is currently in an on-off relationship with Tran that has been going on for five years. The couple split briefly on the first week of Dec. 2014 before reuniting again three weeks later.
On his relationship with Tran, Brown admits that his profession puts temptation in his way.
"The hardest part, honestly, is still wanting to have … is trying to keep a monogamous relationship but still be the 25-year-old sex symbol," he said.
"At the end of the day, all my music appeals to all my people and audiences. But you go to shows … you might walk past Tray [Songz] room or somebody room and you might see about six or seven of them [girls] in there …But you know what I do? I just bring them all to my room. I'd rather [Karrueche] see it than hear about it or think of something else," the singer continued.
He reiterated that he has grown up a lot in his relationship with the model and that he has matured "a lot faster."
"I don't miss [that single life] because I love my girl. At the end of the day, I love my woman … I think with this relationship, it's just different," he added.
