Chris Brown may not be officially broken up but sources say Rihanna may be heeding the advice of her mentor and former boss Jay-Z. Jay-Z, a longtime associate and mentor of sorts for the Barbadian superstar, is said to have told the “Take A Bow” singer to cut ties with Chris Brown.
“Jay-Z told Rihanna she needs to cut things out with Chris, at least in public,” a source to US Weekly.
“They’re taking a break”. News of Jay-Z’s advice is not surprising, if of course true, because he was previously quoted to have as “hit the ceiling” when news of Brown and Rihanna’s alleged altercation was made public in February.
Whether or not Rihanna will completely cut ties with Brown remains to be seen, but it may be a good idea to do so. Chris Brown is due in court early next month to face charges related to the February incident, including making criminal threats.
