Showing Chris Brown exactly what he’s missing, a gorgeous Karrueche Tran stars in Cassie’s upcoming music video for “Paradise” featuring Wiz Khalifa. Model Karrueche plays Wiz’s love interest in the video, which comes out April 11. Check out the 30-second trailer Wiz released over the weekend below: Cassie Ft. Wiz Khalifa – Paradise (Trailer) From what we can tell, Cassie and Karrueche Tran play BFFs driving a convertible and hanging out on the steps of a house with Wiz and some friends. That’s about all we’ve got for now, but just wait until Thursday! Then we’ll really see her make Chris jealous … maybe. No clue how the video ends, but our point: Rihanna who? No offense to the star, but Brown may have let a very sexy, good thing get away in Ms. Tran.
Did Karrueche Blast Keyshia Cole For Dissing Beyonce? The rumor mill is buzzing with talk that former Chris Breezy bustdown Karrueche joined in with the “Bey Hive” yesterday and went in on angry blonde bird Keyshia Cole for taking to her Twitter to diss Beyonce’s new gangsta-boo anthem “Bow Down.” A ‘Karrueche Tran’ Twitter account recently put out this photo meme and a few tweets throwing some super shade at Keyshia’s struggle career….. But as it turns out, the account is actually a fake that happens to mirror crunchy Karrueche’s account down to the background and profile pic. SMH. The thirst is real.
Karrueche Tran. The model/fashion designer is making a name for herself – and not just for being the third side of a love triangle with Rihanna and Chris Brown . She’s posing nude in Rolling Out magazine! What Rolling Out magazine is or typically talks about, we have no idea. But they got Karrueche to roll out of her clothes, apparently, so respect there. Check out more Karrueche Tran photos after the jump … For better or worse, Karrueche has been a major presence in Chris’ life. He dumped her for Rihanna last year, but may still be involved with her somehow. Tran recently commented that she and Breezy were friends before they were romantic partners, and will remain best friends and business partners. If there’s a high road in all of this, she’s at least trying to take it. Well done, Karrueche. Even if the fact that they’ve been wrapped around Chris Brown’s face may be a turnoff for some, the girl has some great legs.
Karrueche Tran. The sexy, 5’1” biracial fashionista and model has become, over the past year, a crucial cast member of the must-watch Chris Brown-Rihanna soap opera. Who is the real Karrueche Tran? An opportunist or a private girl caught in a very public situation? A new interview with VIBE suggests the latter. Karrueche, whose clothing line “The Kill” made her a Chris Brown business partner – sexual partner came later – opens up about the complex relationship: “It’s a lot going on but it could be a lot worse,” she says of Rihanna and Chris Brown flaunting their love on Instagram. “And that’s how I look at life.” “I take it for what it is. I move forward, grow from it and at this point, that’s what I’m doing. I’m not gonna sit and dwell and become consumed in negativity.” “I could very much be that person, especially when things are so public and so thrown in my face. But like I said, things can be much worse. So I’m good.” Does she see a future with CB romantically, after all they’ve been through in the past year? “At the end of the day, he will always be a friend. We’ll always care about each other. We won’t allow that to interfere. Our business is business.” “I do care about him and I do love him,” she says of the controversial singer and her ex-BF. As for what Karrueche Tran would say if she, Rihanna and Chris Brown ever sat down in the same room together and hashed this drama out? “For everybody, emotionally, that would just be way too much. I’m a very mature person so if the time ever did come where we would need to sit down and talk, I’d do it.” “I’m a mature person. I can work it out but it would be a lot. (Pause) Yeah, it would be a lot.” If that ever happened, the celebrity gossip and Twitter universes would probably explode due to collective overuse. But it would make for great copy. What do you think of Karrueche Tran? Someone who genuinely cares for Chris and was blindsided by his reconciliation with Rihanna? Or someone with an agenda?
Karrueche Tran hasn’t had much to say about her lil love triangle. Until now. The aspiring fashion designer opened up in a new interview with VIBE and revealed lots about her career as a stylist and fashion designer as well as her relationship with Chris Brown and The Kill, the unisex fashion line they’re collaborating on. Here are some excerpts from her interview with VIBE : VIBE: How did you come up with the concepts for your clothing line? Karrueche Tran: Chris [Brown] wanted to do a female line for his men’s line [“Black Pyramid”]. So he asked me to take over and “The Kill” was gonna be a women’s only line but it’s actually unisex. How long have you two been planning this? It’s been a few months. When I first started, I pretty much thought of the name. Then from there, we started making very basic sample t-shirts, hats, beanies and socks. That’s what a lot of people saw online and on Instagram. They saw certain people wearing it, so it created this really big buzz in our very first stages. We got a little bit ahead of ourselves and we wanted to do this really awesome launch on 12/12/12, but we kinda had to slow it down ‘cause things weren’t 100% completely done. That’s why we waited. How is the name “The Kill” representative of your life? I was at home one day and this song “In For The Kill” by La Roux was stuck in my head, so “The Kill” stuck out to me. When people first started hearing about you, you were labeled as “an aspiring model.” Are you still doing that now? I never was an official model. I always tell people I’m not a model but I’ve done modeling. Now I’m signed with a commercial agency, so hopefully that is going to pick up but before I was just doing favors for friends who needed somebody for their lookbook. I could tell you deal well with a lot of pain because of all your tattoos. Describe all the ones you have and what they mean. My first tattoo is in Arabic. It goes down my spine and it says ‘an ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship.’ Now on my side, I have a Spanish proverb and it says, ‘A beautiful life does not just happen, it is built daily by prayer, sacrifice, humility and love. May that beautiful life be yours always.’ Wow. Where did you get that from? I honestly just found it. I came across it and said that’s beautiful. I was going through my little tattoo phase so I got that, and I have the big ol’ zipper going down my leg. At least she admits she’s not a real model. Welp. There’s that. Do you think she can have a commercially successful modeling career? Hit the flip for what Kae has to say about how she met Breezy.
So, you’re going to get her tattooed face removed but still kick it with her??? Chris Brown Has Karrueche Tattoo Removed From His Arm Remember when Breezy got that tat of Karrueche’s face ? Welp… Via AZCentral Chris Brown has had a tattoo of his ex-girlfriend’s name removed. The 23-year-old star has reportedly had the inking of his former lover Karrueche Tran taken off as a love gesture towards on/off girlfriend Rihanna – who he assaulted in 2009 – after the pair recently reconciled. Rihanna cut her festive holiday in Barbados short to be with him on Christmas Day, when they attended an LA Lakers basketball game together. While the 24-year-old star was spotted cuddling Chris and whispering into his ear as they watched the game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the ‘Don’t Judge Me’ hitmaker is believed to have called and text Karrueche to wish her a “Merry Christmas”. A source told Hollywoodlife.com: “Even though he was with Rihanna, he still called Kae and told her Merry Christmas and told her how he misses her and how he hopes she was having a good day and all that s**t.” Damn Breezy, Rih-Rih got you wrapped around her finger huh? Next thing you know she’s gonna have you wearing skirts like Kanye and them… Image via Instagram
As if the ongoing love triangle featuring Rihanna, Chris Brown, and Karrueche Tran weren’t complicated enough, Ayem Nour claims she boned Brown this month. With Karrueche’s consent, no less. Nour, a popular French reality star and model, tells Oops! magazine (yes, that’s a real thing) that she had sex with Brown while he was partying with Tran in Paris. According to Nour, the sex was beautiful and she’s flattered to be in the same league as Rihanna … who was getting it on with Chris after he dumped Karrueche. Confused yet? Oops! magazine probably isn’t the most reliable tabloid, even by celebrity gossip standards, so obviously, whatever Ayem Nour claims is highly dubious. Just the same, in its latest issue – featuring Nour and the headline “I Slept with Chris Brown!” – she insists that she and Chris slapped bodies in Paris. After Nour, who supposedly first met Brown on his “Celebration” video set, explains that she and a friend were invited back to his room after a night of partying. “When we entered the room, there were a lot of people … it was very festive. There was alcohol, music … and a bit of grass,” says the Parisian brunette. Oh, and Karrueche Tran was there … and find with sharing her man. “[Karrueche] has never interfered in the relationship between Chris and me,” Nour explains, insisting that the duo is “rather open” when it comes to sexuality. The price of being back with Chris Brown, perhaps. Whatever works? As for Rihanna , Ayem says she’s proud to follow in her footsteps. Nour says, “It’s beautiful and flattering. I do not ask for much. Some will criticize me, but I put any girl in challenge to say no to Chris Brown.” Challenge issued, Jenny Johnson. Earlier this week, Christina Milian said that Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran are officially back together, just a few months after he dumped her for Rihanna. Or “because of his friendship” with Rihanna, to use Breezy’s official line. In any case, now you’re up to date. Who gets in Chris Brown’s pants yet is anyone’s guess, but let’s hope Rihanna, Karrueche and Ayem all use protection.
