Rihannahas revealed that she wanted to work with ex-boyfriendChris Brown on a remix of [uuid=ef7f6779-c000-45d7-b154-dce5938fc9db]her track Birthday Cake[/uuid] because his is "dirty."
During an interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine,[uuid=2bc3c6bb-64d8-4fed-91c7-07a2aed30c1c] RiRi addressed her collaboration with Brown[/uuid] - who infamously assaulted her back in 2009 - stating she thought it would be "cute" to hook up with a guy on the tune.
Explaining her decision to collaborate with Breezy, the 24-year old claimed: "I thought it would be cute to do it with a guy. I wondered, who can be dirty, someone who people will really believe?"
She went on to state that she can understand why [uuid=2f51f8a6-6c36-4e69-8d95-056de3882b8a]people were concerned by her choice[/uuid] to team up with Chris, telling the mag: "Look, I understand that people had every right to be concerned about it. But I didn't see it that way because I'm in a different place.
"Music is music and my fans have been asking me to record with him. I just felt like it was time. It was time."
The Where Have You Been hitmaker also seemed to reference her relationship with Brown in the interview, stating: "When I was in love, I fell so hard. I was really, really, really in love.
"The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye, my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I’d feel that pain in my life.”
RiRi, who attended her[uuid=e47cae62-2add-4eaf-852f-04af1710a142] grandmother Dolly's funeral[/uuid] earlier this week, added that her experience with Brown has made her wary of falling in love again, confessing: “I have been conservative in my love life… well it’s pretty much nonexistent.
"If I come across someone who I find cool, I’ll hang out. But the minute I find out that we’re getting too close I just don’t let people in."
She concluded: “That’s not good, something I’m not proud of. But it’s a place that has been tampered with before.”
