Chris Brown and Rihanna Relationship Update: Rapper Ditches Ex, Says Karrueche Tran Is Better Than Singer

Chris Brown and his on-and-off again girlfriend Karrueche Tran's relationship has been going strong in the new year. A source that is close with the rapper recently told HollywoodLife.com that Tran is a better fit for Brown than his former flame, Rihanna ever was.

"Karrueche is way different form Rihanaa. The two don't even compare. Karrueche is like superwoman to Chris. She can do just anything," the source claimed. "She cooks like Martha Stewart. She's funny like MoNique. Her sex game is something straight out of Lil Kim's Hard Core album. She's ambitious and about her money like Oprah. But most importantly, she's an elegant and very intelligent woman like Michelle Obama."

The source continued, adding, "Chris may only be 25, but he's smart enough to know that he will never find a woman like this - ever. He's got the only one ever made."

Although Brown did not weigh in on his own love life, he did comment about Rihanna and her rumored new beau, actor Leonardo DiCaprio. During a recent interview on Hot 97, Brown was asked whether or not he sent Rihanna a "Happy Birthday" text.

Brown replied, "Nah, I ain't getting slapped. My girl would've slapped me."

The rapper, who is currently on his Between the Sheets tour, added that he is happy for Rihanna if the rumors of her and DiCaprio are true. Brown added that the singer is dating "up" and gave her his blessing.

"I respect her enough to respect her privacy and her space, because I can't believe everything I hear in the news. But what I see, I'll be like, 'OK cool, there might be something else going on.' I'm gonna have to give her that, because you know what? Ain't nowhere else you coulda went though. High five," Brown said. "You can only go up, and that's the upper, upper echelon... I'm not even a hater. I'll give you a slap on the back, booty, everything, 'Hey, do your thing. Good game.'"

He added, "In that situation, I just tip my hat. I'm not a hater. I'm not envious, I don't feel jealous. Do your thing. I can't have it all, brotha."
