That Rihanna and Twitter … can’t leave them alone for two seconds. 

DETAILS: Rihanna Hints Towards Chris Brown Collaboration

Minutes after Rihanna took to Twitter to send some subliminal messages about her “Birthday Cake” remix, which is rumored to feature Chris Brown, the sassy singer went back online to send some more quick Twitter-shots:

Now, the last two Tweets seem to be just general RiRi tweets, but that first one is a little more direct. 

DETAILS: RUMOR HAS IT: Chris Brown To Be Featured On Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake” 

Her “Chiefin’ while ppl spend hrs on letters…*kanye shrug* #phuckit” Tweet was a clear response to a piece that Billboard.com assistant editor Jason Lipshutz wrote to the pop singer titled “An Open Letter to Rihanna: It’s Time to Talk That Talk.”

Minutes before Rihanna sent out her message, Billboard tweeted out their article and included Rihanna’s handle in the Tweet.

In the letter, Lipshutz worries about the message Rihanna reuniting with Chris Brown will send to children.

Lipshutz writes:

But the news about CB dropping by your “Birthday Cake” remix… damn. Three years and nine days later, it is officially implied that, no matter if you two are “single” or “in a relationship” or “it’s complicated,” a token of forgiveness has been earned by Brown. And that’s not cool, to a whole lot of people. 

Look, you could do this one song with Brown and never work with him again, or go record “Watch The Pop Throne” with him. You two could become a couple again and get married in Vegas next week. Maybe you want none of those things, or all of those things; you certainly have the right to do any of those things. In your words, “there’s only one you, so just be that.” Do you, Rihanna! 

But, in all honesty… you can’t do you, Rihanna. Not here. Not with Chris Brown. Because like it or not, millions of people are paying attention to you, trying to be as cool as you, attempting to find love in a hopeless place and wondering if it’s okay to walk down the same dark alleyway twice. Young girls look up to people like you to guide them through circumstances too complex for them to tackle on their own, and by granting Chris Brown an iota of tolerance, you implicitly encourage others to consider doing the same. “With great power comes great responsibility” is a schmaltzy sentiment, but it’s fitting here — like it or not, you have a different level of power than most of us schmoes because of your pop superstardom, and a different level of responsibility in your personal life than in your music because of the tabloid-infected culture we live in. It’s a burden that is not fair to you, or anyone in pop culture, but it’s one you have to accept. 

Yeah, so we’re guessing that Rihanna doesn’t much appreciate the advice. *Cheifin’ a blunt while Kanye shrugin.*

Making sure that both sides were covered, Billboard.com Associate Editor Erika Ramirez wrote her own letter to Chris Brown, urging the pop singer to “Act Your Age.”

Last we checked, there have been no new rants from Breezy yet.
