Rihanna-Chris Brown...What Went Wrong!!!

In 2008, Chris Brown and Rihanna were the top male and female pop singles artists in America, and both were just nominated for Grammy Awards. But the story has taken a new turn today after the two got in an horific feud which results to Rihanna getting beat up by her darling Chris Brown.

After the bruise on singer Rihanna, there are reports that the singer flipped out on her boyfriend (Chris Brown)'s phone when she found a text message from an ex-girlfriend.

The NY Daily News, citing a music industry source, reports that the 20year old Rihanna and CB were fighting over the text message while the couple were driving nearby her Hollywood Hills home. Rihanna attempted to get out of the car when the fight escalated.

“He got a booty call. He got a text. Rihanna saw it and she got upset. They started to argue. She got out of the car. He wanted her to get back in, so he grabbed her,” the industry source tells NY Daily News. “She pulled away. That’s when she’s told people he hit her.”
According to an E! Online exclusive report, the “Umbrella” singer grabbed the keys from the ignition and threw them out onto the street, sending Brown into a rage.
After failing to find the keys, Brown came back to the car, put his hands around Rihanna’s neck and, according to the E! report, said, “I’m going to kill you!”
The NY Daily News source scoffed at reports that the fight erupted after a jealous Brown scolded Rihanna for spending time with producer Timbaland at a pre-Grammy party.
The inside source says, “Chris has been trying to contact her. So far she hasn’t taken his call. Her family is on their way to be with her. She has some close girlfriend looking after her.”
OK! magazine is suggesting that the feud started on Feb. 5th when heiress Paris Hilton and Brown were being flirty at the Verizon & BlackBerry Storm Grammy party at Boulevard 3, while Rihanna performed.

“He and Paris went outside together,” a witness tells OK! magazine reporter. Back inside, they got closer. “Paris was all over him,” the partygoer says. “Rihanna caught wind of it and spent the rest of the night glued to him.”

Chris Brown has been charged with one count of making felony criminal threats. The singer posted a $50,000 bond and was released by police Sunday night. A hearing has been scheduled for March 5 2009.

Is Chris Brown going to learn the hard way?

Is it going to matter that, at 19 he is still just a kid??

Is it going to matter that his career in the last two years has soared to the point that $2,000-a-day Lamborghini rentals are the norm. 

All of those titles that have been tossed his way -- the New King of Pop, the Heir to Michael Jackson, the 2008 Billboard Artist of the Year --  do they still matter???
