Rihanna and Chris Brown are
going to make it work.
The singer seems very
confident of this fact in her new Elle UK cover story, telling the magazine
that her new single is symbolic of their relationship.
"'Stay' is a story
about having love that close and wanting it to last forever," says
Rihanna, who performed it live at the 2013 Grammy Awards.
"You don't have that
feeling with everybody. You don't want to let go of it. I would definitely say
that [Brown] is the one I have that kind of relationship with."
Their level of devotion?
Pretty high at this point.
Rihanna and Chris Brown
celebrated her 25th birthday in Hawaii last month, and she accompanied him and
his mother to court a few weeks ago.
They've also been remarkably
open and candid about the controversial romance. Even Chris has said how deeply
he regrets attacking her in 2009.
He also said he's been
forgiven by her (but had to work hard for it), that they're happy, and that
Rihanna is the most beautiful girl in the world.
In Elle UK, she's almost as
gushing in return.
It's "a great
friendship that's unbreakable" she says of her man. "Now that we're
adults, we can do this right. We got a fresh start, and I'm thankful for
that."
Rihanna also predicts to
Elle that she "will have a kid" five years from now, though first she
wouldn't mind a good month of vacation before that.
"And [five years from now]
I'll have set some things up so I don't have to tour the rest of my life, even
though I love touring. I want health and happiness."
"I want to be healthy
and happy in five years."
Seems like she's on the
right track right now.
Stay" may be a symbol
of enduring love, but there are other symbols that have gotten her into hot
water of late. Namely her controversial gun tattoo.
Rihanna describes it as
empowering.
"Everybody wanted to
know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an
alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No," Rihanna reflects.
"That's why I got the
gun. A symbol of strength. I'll never be a victim."
And, while her mom recently
"went crazy" on her in response to a couple of Rihanna nude photos
online, she just can't help herself on Instagram.
That too, she says, is
empowering.
"I Instagram everything
about my life, whether it's smoking pot, in a strip club, reading a Bible verse
- crazy, I know! - or hanging out with my best friend, who happens to be
Chris."
"That's why I'm posting
pictures of myself smoking pot, to tell the truth about myself ... I've got so
much to think about, why bring all this extra s--t by being dishonest?"
That, she will never be
accused of being.
