On the public’s continuing scrutiny of her relationship with Chris Brown, the singer stated, “To the world, I feel like there’s no closure,” when addressing her collaboration with her ex-boyfriend on the sexy single “Cake.”
“There’s some obsession that’s continued even throughout when we weren’t friends or couldn’t be friends at all. Hated each other,” Rihanna told Vogue. “The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything, really, besides the song.”
Claiming that she hasn’t been on a date in two years, the cover girl related that she is waiting for the right person to break her love fast. “I would love to go on a date,” she said in the story. “No one asks. Trust me on that. I’m waiting for the man who’s ballsy enough to deal with me. I’m going to wait, though. You always find the wrong shit when you go looking.”
