The world had mixed feelings about the musical reunion of singers Chris Brown and Rihanna on their new remixed singles, Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake” and Chris’s “Turn Up the Music”. “Birthday Cake” producer/songwriter The Dream spoke with Rapfix about how the collaboration went down and dished on who came up with the surprising idea to reunite the former couple on a track. In all honesty, he was shocked himself:
“I remember her [Rihanna] mentioning it. At the end of the day, she’s my friend, so whatever she wants to do is whatever she wants to do [...] I was in the car actually in Miami and driving. And she was like, ‘What’s up? I think I’m gonna put Chris on it.’ I was like, ‘I don’t know which Chris you talkin’ about, I know you’re ain’t talking about the Chris you’re talking about [but] OK, cool, whatever you say.’ She didn’t say anything else about it and it happened. Just like that.
She’s pretty smart too. The same questions that went through my mind, and I’m an artist also, had to have gone through hers. I know she’s not crazy. So my thought was, ‘You’ve been thinking about this. You’ve already thought it out, so evidently you know what reaction you’re gonna get.’” [Source]
At the end of the day, The Dream says it all boils down to forgiveness: “Don’t say you know how to forgive when you don’t,” he warned. “Everybody knows what took place, cool. Have the power to really forgive if that’s what it is. If not, stay on that side of the fence from the beginning.”
BIG DEAL !! AWESOME JOB RIH ! IT CAME OUT GREAT HATER’S GO FLY OFF A CLIFF . SHE’S ALWAYS KEEPING THING’S INTERESTING AND FUN .
She will NOT leave Chris alone, if she had not contacted him (followed him and his mama on Twitter) 1st I do believe this young man could have moved on. If he falls back into it with this girl somebody is going to die. She crazy as fuck and he stoooopid. Live your lives APART. Jesus. I know the courts broke them up, I know they want one last bang “for the good times” as Al Green would say. Do it and get it OVER with. OVER WITH!!!
WHY CAN’T RIH MAKE A RECORD THAT KEEP’S PPL MIND INTERESTED IN HER GAME ! FOOLISH ASS HATER’S .
RIH IS YOUNG AND FREE MINDED . AND HER FANS LOVE HER GAME
RIH HATER’S NEED TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES IN THE ASS !
Wowww.. Some interesting fans on here!! Chill people, Dam!
Why is the Dream still here.. So irritatingly annoying! Go away man.. Loser!
ummm….he’s still here bcus he writes and produces a lot of the records you’re probably jamming to…
“Forgiveness,” eh? This is what typically happens in toxic relationships. Slapping the label of “forgiveness” on it is just downright irresponsible. “Weakness” is what is. These two have a lot of healing to do and should be separated. It’s possible to forgive and still set bounadries you know.
It is funny to me that so many people who don’t know these two personally know everything about them to tell them what to do with their life. What people really need to do is get right with their own life before telling someone else how to live thiers. smh
Stories get misconstrued by and people lie. Pictures don’t, and that is usually what is ingrained on peoples minds.
I mean im not bashing Rih or anything but the minute i heard of the song i knew it was her idea. Chris would probably never thought of that.. but hey it’s their life people need to leave them alone i love the song i think its very cachy like evryother rih songs!
It’s actually the song is kind of hot garbage, but it’s the music I dislike not them personally. I can give a damn about them and the disfunction or happiness. I have seen men and women In my neighborhood get beat up by the opposite sex, at the end of the day that is their life and how they choose to live it is their business. Kill each other, I would not care!!!
i dont think i could ever fuck with anybody who put their hands on my FACE. punch me in the arm,leg.. but the face? nahhhhhh
Honestly, if Rihanna wants to collaborate with Chris Brown musically or otherwise, its her choice. We can sit and be mad all we want and vent forever, but if she has chosen to put the incident behind her, what are you going to do? Continue getting mad on her behalf? For many persons, its not a decision that may be wise considering their history, but hey, she is the one that has to live with it and if she feels that she wants to put it behind her, who are we to argue..guess she has her reasons..hope this doesnt have any negative/tragic endings.
