Rihanna Navy Taunts Chris Brown's Girlfriend On Twitter Over Leaked Video

This video showing Chris Brown's current girlfriend, Karrueche and two of her close friends using a foreign accent making fun of someone [unnamed] hit the net.  You can tell the girls are watching something and just repeating the funny parts. But somehow a rumor has been spread that the person they are making fun of is Rihanna.

Karreuche sent out a tweet earlier today to clear up any rumors of a beef between her and Rihanna but it didn't slow down any comments from #RihannaNavy or any other Rih Rih stans. Chris hasn't responded yet and neither has Rihanna.

Chris Paul launches Jordan CP3.V at GreyStone Manor Supperclub 2012

Chris Paul and wife, Jada.

Rihanna, Kobe Bryant, Jamie Foxx and Blake Griffin came out to support Chris Paul’s Jordan shoe launch, the CP3.V at LA hot spot Greystone Manor Supperclub.


Clippers point guard, Chris Paul celebrated a 95-89 victory over theMiami Heat last night with wife, Jada. Chris remained by her side the majority of the evening. She was sporting hot yellow pants and red pumps and looked like the perfect piece of arm candy. 


Chris drew the attention of all party goers, who looked on as he got his groove on at his table with teammate Blake Griffin.


Surrounded by an entourage of close confidants, it was difficult  for anyone to approach Chris’ table, as he and his group had the help of heightened security. Chris eventually mingled between his table and a side bar from time to time leaving his wife’s side to hang with his homies.


Jamie Foxx was spotted cruising back and forth between his table and Chris' while sipping on a cocktail or two. The "Blame It" singer had his own entourage at an adjacent table. He was all smiles and enjoyed the company of his confidants but remained behind the scenes for much of the night.
