Chris Brown & Karrueche: Timeline to a Break-Up - Breezy, Rih Rih, Karrueche, oh my! Everyone's favorite (or least favorite) love triangle may be no more. Yesterday, after days of rumors and paparazzi pics seemed to hint that Chris Brown was creeping with ex-girl Rihanna, Brown released a statement saying he had split up with his girlfriend of more than a year, model Karreuche Tran, over his "friendship" with Rih Rih. But this didn't happen overnight. In fact, with inflammatory tweets and now even a film short, the story's still developing so quickly that it's hard to keep up. But no worries, BET.com's got you. Here, we break down the history of Tran and Brown's bitter split, rumor by rumor, tweet by tweet, creep by creep.  —Alex Gale
And So It Begins... - Like so many things nowadays, rumors of Rihanna and Chris Brown rekindling their romance started on Twitter, where Chris wished his ex a happy birthday in February. It was the first public contact the pair had had since Brown was sentenced to six months of community service and five years of probation for assault after the pair's infamous Grammy night fight in 2009.

Tran is half-Vietnamese, and some speculated that Rihanna's tweet was an underhanded racist dig.  (Photo: Twitter)
