Rihanna, Drake Dating to 'Hurt' Chris Brown? [Rumors]

Rihanna and Drake seemed to be getting serious for a time, but things did not work out well for the pair, despite rumors that RiRi was totally jealous of his crush on Nicki Minaj. RiRi has already closed that chapter of her life with Drizzy, but apparently, one her exes hasn't moved on from past dramas.

In a report from Hollywood Life, Chris Brown revealed to Hot 97 that he thought Rihanna dated Drake to hurt him, saying, "She's gonna be mad if I say it, but in a way, I do [think Rihanna dated Drake to get back at me]."

But according to E! News, he did understand why she chose to do so, saying, "In a way I do...It's understandable. It's the game, we young...we do that at that age. I think once we hit our 30s, we're in a mature stage of life and we're not focusing on that."

A source for the website seemed to think that there's some truth in Chris's words, but shared that it's much more complicated than just that.

The source said, "She would never say that [she dated Drake just to annoy Chris], and it's probably a little bit of both. Drake's sexy. He's smooth. He was much more of a man than Chris and he talked to her and treated her like she was the only one who mattered. She would have been crazy not to see what he was about."

As far as RiRi's dating life is concerned though, the source also shared, "she could have fooled around with someone outside of the music industry. She knew Chris and Drake at the time weren't cool most of the time, so she knew what she was doing and didn't care. Chris Brown broke her heart and stomped on it when he brought Karrueche [Tran] in the picture. She couldn't understand why he made her compete with another girl. Like, she's Rihanna. She could have any dude."

But now that they've broken up, a separate report from Hollywood Life said that RiRi is not interested in dating these days. The source said, "Rihanna is numb to men at this point. She doesn't understand them and is rather tired of trying to. She'd rather stay single and alone in her bed before giving it up and exposing her heart to more disappointment. Her exes are her exes and they're that for a reason."

The same source added, "She can't concern herself with who Drake sleeps with these days. She's over him. She's over Chris as far as anything sexual goes."
