Singer Chris Brown is still calling and texting ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran — behind his new girlfriend Rihanna’s back.

Brown, 23, unceremoniously dumped Tran for Rihanna last week — and he even released a press statement announcing his amicable breakup with Tran. Brown and Rihanna, 24, reportedly hooked back up secretly last year.

The Brown/Rihanna/Tran situation was the talk of Atlanta over the weekend. Many women I spoke with expressed sympathy for Tran, who lost her man to a conniving woman in the most spectacular way.

A source close to the Brown camp told Sandrarose.com that Brown and Tran remain good friends.

But, according to Radar Online, Brown is still texting and calling Tran for some of that good-good. Apparently, he is keeping Tran as a backup in case Rihanna flips on him again.

From Radar Online:

After recently admitting that he’s “in love with two people,” RadarOnline reports that the R&B singer has been calling and texting Tran, allegedly wanting to rekindle their rocky romance.

“Chris has been in constant communication with Karrueche ever since she dumped him,” a source told the gossip site. “She ended it with Chris because he was just blatantly flaunting his dalliances with Rihanna, but now he’s telling how sorry he is, and how much he loves her.”

The source continued: “She is just too hurt to even go there at this point. Karrueche just wants a break from all of this drama, and she knows that Chris wants whatever he can’t have. Karrueche thinks Chris has a lot of maturing he needs to do, and she can’t trust him.”
