Fans were floored when Rihanna announced that she was back with Chris Brown, the man who brutally assaulted in 2009, but it turns out no one is more disappointed that their relationship has reignited than Brown’s father Clinton.
“I personally really didn’t want him and Rihanna back together,” Clinton tells New York Daily News. “You have to have a balance in a relationship. You have to have someone who is spontaneous and whimsical but you also have to have someone who is grounded and logical.”
Clinton explains that he fears that their relationship will end fatally, pointing out the likes of Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston, “I mean I could go on and on!” he states.
The hip-hop singers father notes that it isn’t that he doesn’t want his son dating, noting that he would like to see Chris with the likes of “Jordin Sparks” and also expressed his fondness for ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. “I liked her a lot. They seemed to get on terrifically,” he said. “Whenever she was around me, the quiet, meek, accommodating, respectful image is what she portrayed.”
Additionally Clinton defended his son’s actions saying that the whole story following the 2009 beating was not fully out. “One has to assume because they are back together that it wasn’t one-sided,” he explains. “You just have to imagine it was a circumstance in which they both had a disagreement.”
Rihanna has since defended her boyfriend, saying he isn’t the “monster” everyone thinks he is.
The relationship has been subject to rumors that the couple has split, Rihanna put rumors to bed posting a picture of her and Brown happily together.
