Chris Brown talked to his former girlfriend Rihanna about Lewis Hamilton, after reports surfaced that the “Unfaithful” singer may be dating the Formula One champion. A report Sunday revealed that Brown is jealous over Rihanna’s alleged relationship with Hamilton.

“He (Chris Brown) asked her whats the status of their relationship and she told him that they are just friends hanging out,” sources told Urban Islandz. “She (Rihanna) sense that there are some jealous and playfully asked him if he is jealous and his response was no, but she knows him very well and know when he is being jealous or not. She really likes to rub it in that this is what you lost, but it’s good that they are maintaining a healthy friendship.”

Rihanna and Hamilton were spotted Friday entering Griffin nightclub in the Meatpacking District in New York City. The two sparked dating rumors after they spent a holiday getaway in Barbados, in the eastern Caribbean, earlier this month.

Brown also posted a cryptic message on Twitter Friday, which many fans speculate could be aimed at Rihanna. According to some reports, Rihanna and Brown are now on good terms after their tumultuous relationship ended in 2013.

Since Brown’s relationship with Karrueche Tran ended after the latter discovered in March that he had a child with model Nia Guzman, rumors circulated that the "Loyal" singer and Rihanna might be thinking of reconciliation. Rihanna defended Brown by calling his recent ex-girlfriend Tran “tacky and childish” for slamming him on social media. According to reports, Rihanna also has been Brown’s confidant during the latter's fight with Guzman over the custody of their daughter Royalty.

Recently, the Barbadian singer was also linked to Real Madrid soccer player Karim Benzema. Romance rumors between the two swirled in June after they were seen enjoying breakfast together after a late night of club partying.
