Check out the new single cover for Rihanna’s new song Wait Your Turn.
During a recent 20/20 interview, Rihanna said that her relationship with Chris Brown was unhealthy.
“The more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other, equally dangerous. Because it was a bit of an obsession.”

During a segment on Good Morning America, Rihanna opened up to Diane Sawyer and talked about the abuse she endured from ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
On what happened the night he attacked her:
“I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn’t tell the truth. And I wouldn’t drop it. I couldn’t take that he kept lying to me, and he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it. It escalated into him being violent towards me and it was ugly.”
On what she was thinking during that time:
He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blacked-out. There was no person when I looked at him. I was battered. I was bleeding. I was swollen in my face. There was no way of me getting home. My next option was to get out the car and start walking in a gown and a bloody face. So I really don’t know what was my plan. I didn’t have a plan.”
On how she feels about Chris now:
“I don’t hate him at all. I actually love and care about him and I’m concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life and grow up, and just take this as something that you had to go through to grow up and learn.”

Rihanna, who is one of Glamour magazines ‘Women of the Year,’ opened up about the Chris Brown incident. Read some of the highlights below.
On the first time she auditioned for Jay-Z:
I was nervous as hell. The night before, I couldn’t sleep. I was trying on a million different outfits and makeup. I remember seeing Jay-Z and starting to shake. I thought he would be in a suit, sitting behind a desk with a cigar. But he was totally chill, wearing sneakers and a T-shirt. Then I went into audition mode. I knew it was all or nothing. Right away, the Def Jam people said, “You can’t leave the building.” They closed the door, and the lawyers stayed until 1:00 or 2:00 A.M. to do the deal.
On having the picture of her bruised face released:
It was humiliating; that is not a photo you would show to anybody. I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women.
On being a changed woman:
I’m stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t even know, like fans.
Her message to young women:
Domestic violence is a big secret. No kid goes around and lets people know their parents fight. Teenage girls can’t tell their parents that their boyfriend beat them up. You don’t dare let your neighbor know that you fight. It’s one of the things we [women] will hide, because it’s embarrassing. My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.
On her new album:
I was involved in a lot of the writing. I put everything I’ve wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. The songs are really personal. It’s rock ‘n’ roll, but it’s really hip-hop: If Lil’ Wayne and Kings of Leon like my album, then I’ll feel good. I would not change anything about it. Even if people don’t love it, I made exactly the piece of art that I wanted to make. It’s super fearless—which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place.
