In an interview in the June issue of Elle magazine, when asked about her relationship with the R&B singer Chris Brown, Rihanna replied, "We've always been friends, but we're very close now".
On the success of Umbrella, "That song is very, very magical. Because even when I travel, I can't believe the kind of people that know that record. Their age, their nationality, they don't speak English, but they all know that song".
Regarding the rumors about a relationship with Jay-Z, "Well, it's crazy that you ask me that. People know that it's not true. I think it's kinda a cliché question, and people know it's not true, so I don't even know why it's still addressed to this day. I get asked about it all the time and I'm like, You're asking, but you know the answer. I don't even like to address it anymore".
