RIHANNA was blindsided by the criticism
fired at her for reuniting with ex-boyfriend CHRIS BROWN in the studio -
because she didn't think anyone would care that the former lovers were working
together.
Brown and Rihanna recently worked on two tracks together, prompting
critics to slam the Umbrella hitmaker for teaming up with the ex who left her
black and blue after a pre-Grammy Awards fight in 2009.
The Kiss Kiss singer was later charged with assault and told to keep his
distance from his ex.
The latter demand was dropped last year (11) allowing Brown to hit the
studio with Rihanna in early 2012.
And the pretty star is still reeling from the backlash.
She tells Esquire magazine, "It never occurred to me how this was
going to be a problem. I thought people were gonna be surprised that we finally
did a record together, but I didn't see how people could think it was a bad
thing, you know? In my mind, it was just music... I could never see anything
wrong with making music."
And she insists there was nothing romantic going on behind closed doors
as the former couple worked together, insisting it was "a completely
professional environment".
She adds, "If I went back to him (as a girlfriend), then that's a whole
different discussion... If I ever do, then that's something that y'all have to
talk to me about when - if - that ever happens. Until then, look at it for what
it is."
Brown and Rihanna teamed up in the studio to
record the remix for her single Birthday Cake and she also agreed to sing a
verse on his Turn Up the Music single.
