Rihanna's management are reportedly telling the star to cut ties with her ex-love Chris Brown.

The former couple ended their relationship around three years ago after an argument turned violent. Chris was subsequently charged with assaulting the pop beauty and served with a restraining order.

Rihanna and Chris seem to have struck up a friendship again following the messy break-up, with the pair taking to their Twitter pages to converse.

They have also been spotted partying at the same clubs.

Rihanna's management are reportedly wary of the songstress treading on former ground with Chris.

'Her management don't want Rihanna's career to suffer. She seems to be out almost every night and people fear it's no coincidence that she and Chris have turned up at the same venue more than once,' a source told Closer magazine.

'Rihanna seems to still feel a connection with Chris ' even though he has a girlfriend.'

Rihanna's team are reportedly becoming increasingly worried about the star. Insiders say they are pleading with the beauty to take time out of the spotlight.

'She seems to have forgotten what a toxic relationship she and Chris had, and calls him the love of her life. People are becoming increasingly worried,' the source added.
