Filed by Carol | Jul 12, 2012

Rihanna defends her choice in using Chris Brown in her single "Birthday Cake" in her Harper's Bizarre interview. 

“I thought it would be cute to do it with a guy. I wondered, who can be dirty, someone who people will really believe?” she reveals, adding that she wanted a guy who could be shocking.

“Music is music and my fans have been asking me to record with him,” she said. “I just felt like it was time. It was time.”

Surprisingly she didn’t anticipate any negative reaction to her collaboration with Chris. “Look, I understand that people had every right to be concerned about it,” she explains to the magazine. “But I didn’t see it that way because I’m in a different place.”

She proudly points out that the song hit #2 on the charts even though it wasn’t sold on iTunes.

Of course, she’s since been sighted with Brown multiple times spending time together, especially in NYC recently before and after Chris was attacked by singer Drake‘s entourage in club W.i.P.

What do think of a collaboration between Rihanna and Chris Brown?
