The 'Umbrella' hitmaker opened up about dealing with the aftermath of the infamous Brown assault in 2009, which also resulted in a makeup and then final breakup, reported E!Online.
"I don't hate him. I will care about him until the day I die. We're not friends, but it's not like we're enemies. We don't have much of a relationship now," she said.
"I was that girl who felt that as much pain as this relationship is, maybe some people are built stronger than others. Maybe I'm the person who's almost the guardian angel to this person, to be there when they're not strong enough, when they're not understanding the world, when they just need someone to encourage them in a positive way and say the right thing."
Rihanna admitted that she got back with Breezy after the assault because she thought she could change him. "A hundred percent. I was very protective of him. I felt that people didn't understand him. Even after... But you know, you realize after a while that in that situation you're the enemy.
"You want the best for them, but if you remind them of their failures, or if you remind them of bad moments in their life, or even if you say I'm willing to put up with something, they think less of you¿because they know you don't deserve what they're going to give."

When Indian culture played muse for international artistes

In an attempt to seek refuge from their almost rabid popularity, the legendary rock band, The Beatles, came down to Rishikesh five decades ago. Huddled comfortably in one of their songs, Across the Universe, are the lines Jai Gurudeva Om, which demonstrate the ties the song had with Indian culture. Cut to now, and we see Mumbai going berserk over news of British rock band, Coldplay, hitting Indian shores to shoot for a video.

Six-time Grammy award winner and EDM sensation, Skrillex, who is set to perform in Mumbai on October 10 as part of Supersonic Arcade, reached Goa four days prior to his concert, sparking rumours of collaboration with an Indian artiste. Quiz him on who he would like to work with and he says, "Definitely, Yo Yo Honey Singh. He's blowing up on the dubstep scene right now and his stuff is pretty cool."
Taking a cue, we scan this crossover trend and take a look at other artistes who came down to India to shoot their music videos.

The Aussie pop star, who has been steadily climbing the charts, shot for her video on the streets of Mumbai. It had all the elements of a typical Bollywood music video — colourful costumes and filmy dance moves. Iggy even showcased some feisty dance in a traditional lehenga atop an elephant. The video was as desi as desi gets.
Mumford and Sons: Cave

Living up to their cult Indie status, the band shot for their song on the beaches of Goa. It encapsulated the fun, free-spirited and invigorating vibe the place has to offer. Needless to say, the song was a hit and earned four Grammy nominations.

Shot at Karjat and Vasai, this song was quite the rage. It had a peppy vibe to it apart from colourful costumes and background dancers strutting to Bollywood moves. It was one of the most searched songs of the year. It was also chosen as the official song of the 2017 FIFA Under-17 World Cup. Talk about making waves.

Not only was this shot in India, it was also a collaboration between an internationally famed songwriter and composer duo Vishal and Shekhar. The lyrics, based on a poem by Rabindranath Tagore, took the musicians to obscure roads and villages for the shoot. The track did exceptionally well across the globe.
