  • Chris Brown Says Karrueche Tran Went Out with Drake, Had Threesomes While They Were Dating

    The Chris Brown-Karrueche Tran drama continues. After Brown announced his single status at a concert in Los Angeles Friday, Dec. 5, the pair took to Instagram to air out some of their dirty laundry for all to read. Brown even called Tran out for going on dates with rapper Drake in Toronto while he was in prison. As per usual with public break-ups, each party is blaming the other for the dissolution of the relationship. As "MTV News" points out, Tran posted a text picture that reads, "When something bad happens you can either let it define you, let it destroy you or let it strengthen you. The choice is yours." She then commented on the post: Once you find strength within yourself, it's hard to allow any type of bs around you. I refuse to be repeatedly mistreated especially by someone who claims to love me. That's not love. And if that's what you define as love then I don't want it. Yes, I have not been so smart before in the past but I made a promise to be a better and stronger woman and I'm keeping that promise. If you can't love me the right way, then don't love me at all. Don't be mad at me because I prefer to be happy. Keep love in your life folks. Not just love between people but love within your HEART, flowing in all aspects of your life. I promise life is so much better. Brown responded with his own text photo that reads, "It amazes me that you can change and elevate somebody's life completely and they treat you like a regular n***a... BUT IM SLEEP." His comment on the post said that Tran only visited him once while he was in prison after a judge sentenced him to a few months for violating his probation in the 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna. He also claimed that Tran met up with Drake and participated in threesomes at the beginning of the relationship.
