Its Official! Chris Brown Announces He’s Dumped His Girlfriend… Cites Rihanna Factor

Chris Brown has publicly revealed he has dumped his girlfriend Karrueche Tran after being pictured with ex Rihanna for the third night in a row. Karrueche, a 23-year-old model who has been dating the singer since earlier last year, posted a tweet last night which read: ‘Bye baby.’

But justifying the break up, CB admitted his close bond with the Umbrella pop star was the reason for the split, but stopped short of saying the exes had reconciled.

He said in a statement: ‘I have decided to be single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I don’t want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna.’

He continued: ‘I’d rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives.’

It was just a matter of time before this happened as every discerning mind knew CB & Rihanna were still madly in love but were just bidding their time. Sad for Karrueche though – she got served!
