On Collaborating With Chris Brown:
Rihanna recalls beginning the collaboration process saying: “The first song that came about was ‘Birthday Cake.’ I mean we ended up recording them at the same time and executing them together, but I reached out to him about doing ‘Birthday Cake’ because that’s the only person that really–it made sense to do the record.
Just as a musician despite everything else that was going to be the person. You know I thought about rappers, and I’ve done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown. So I wanted him on the track, and then in turn he was like ‘Why don’t you do the remix to my track?’ and it was a trade off. We did two records. One for my fans. One for his fans, and that way our fans can come together. There shouldn’t be a divide. You know? It’s music, and it’s innocent.”
And Rihanna is right, there shouldn’t be any hate between Team Breezy and Rihanna Navy.
Chris Brown plans on making a triumphant return to the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 11, 2012 RadarOnline is exclusively reporting.
Brown is nominated for three Grammys, Best R & B Album, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Song.
It was only three years ago that Brown was arrested and charged with felony battery on his then girlfriend, Rihanna, on the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
“Chris has grown tremendously as a person, and an artist from that time in his life,” a source close to Brown tells RadarOnline.com.
“Chris has complied with all terms of his probation and has completed most of his court ordered community service. He has been a model probationer, but more importantly, Chris accepted responsibility for what he did. Chris took that experience and vowed to learn from it and become a better person, and he was thrilled and truly humbled that he was nominated for three Grammys.
“Chris absolutely plans on attending the Grammys and is in talks with producers of the show to possibly perform. Chris performed at the MTV Video Music Awards several months ago, and his performance was simply over the top as he was flying through the air like an acrobat. Chris’ performance stole the show, and he would love to do something at the Grammy’s to top his VMA performance,” the insider says.
“Rihanna is also nominated for several Grammys, and she performed at the Grammy nomination concert recently, and she could be going to the awards ceremony as well,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com.
“Rihanna thinks that Chris should attend the Grammys if he wants to, she has absolutely no qualms with him being there. Don’t expect them to hang out, but she has moved on from that horrible night, and doesn’t want it to define either one of them as people.”

I’ve got nothing against both of them attending the same award shows!
“Pot Of Gold”, featuring Chris on Game’s R.E.D album leaked in early April. Now we’ve been told there is a music video in the making for the amazing track.
Filmed at an abandoned East L.A. residence, the Bryan Barber-directed clip is a retrospective of Game’s own life growing up in Compton. In one nostalgic scene, he raps in an attic full of Tupac and Biggie posters, reminiscing on simpler days. He shows his eldest son Harlem just how far he’s come.
“The video is kinda walking back through the days when I didn’t have anything, taking my son with me and showing him how we used to live,” said the West Coast native, whose son was in disbelief when he was shown his father’s old stomping grounds.
Breezy arrived later in the evening to shoot his scenes. “Chris gon’ come and he gon’ do his little Sammy Davis Jr. thing,” joked Game.

Justin Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, has confirmed the video plans for the next single from F.A.M.E. on Twitter : “NP- #Next2You w/ @justinbieber and @chrisbrown – video treatment is crazy … yeah it’s coming!!” he wrote.
“Being able to collab with [Bieber] was great,” Brown said. “He’s a young, energetic cat, so being able to work with him, with the fanbase he has, was incredible. I know a lot of little girls are going to love this record.
“I wouldn’t say [he's] my protégé. He’s doing his thing at a young age, and I was doing mine at a young age, so being able to see him come up is dope.”
Now, Colin Tilley, the video director of “Look At me Now” teases us with news:
“Tomorrow, I’m shooting New Boyz and Chris Brown … then Justin Bieber and Chris Brown, together,” he teased. “I can’t tell you anything about that yet, but it’s going to happen. It’s gonna be big. It’s gonna be big. I can’t say anything else.”
Tilley about “Look At Me Now”:
“I remember when we first got the song and Chris sent it to us: It was the first time I had heard the song, and it was so crazy to me. Before we do every video, I always talk to Chris to kind of feel where he’s going with the song and just where his motivation was with the song, and he actually sent me this one YouTube link … It was this little ’80s clip of these hip-hop dancers dancing”.
“I would play it to the actual song, and at one point of the song, there were all these dancers dancing on these street elements like benches and tables and stuff like that,” he continued. “From there, it just started to evolve from street elements and this whole underground vibe to just getting crazier and crazier. I wanted to make sure it was really exciting.”
“Chris is just always down to make something different, so that was really it … the mask came about from Diplo and the cage, and it all started to evolve to this awesome video,” Tilley added.
