Rihanna on Chris Brown

Rihanna caught the eyes of the Internet when she posted an eye-catching photo of herself decked out in a sparkly and skimpy costume just in time for the annual Crop Over festival in Barbados. But it wasn't just fans of the singer who flooded her Instagram comments section; as it turns out, her ex, Chris Brown, also reportedly put his two cents in.

Brown's comment came under so much scrutiny because, as you might recall, the couple made headlines in 2009 after he assaulted her in his car on the eve of the Grammy Awards. He was later sentenced to six years probation after pleading guilty to the crime. They broke up in 2009, and briefly reconciled from late 2012 to mid 2013.
