Superstar singers Chris Brown and Rihanna appear to be wasting little time putting their rekindled relationship in high gear now that Brown and his girlfriend have gone their separate ways.

According multiple reports, Breezy, who recently attended the taping of the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, this week was spotted with Rihanna partying, and some reports say cuddling and kissing, at a Manhattan nightclub and later in Brooklyn.

Rihanna brings her "Diamonds" world tour to Philips Arena on April 22, 2013.

Brown, claiming to be a little drunk, released a 1.27 minute video this week with clips of Rihanna and former girlfriend Karrueche Tran in which insists, "I'm not trying to be a player … I just care too much sometimes." He also asks in the video: "Is there such thing as loving two people? I don't know if that's possible but for me I just feel like that."

In a statement released by his publicist Thursday, Brown said of his breakup with Tran: "I have decided to be single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I don't want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna. I'd rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives."

A day earlier, Tran tweeted: "There's a difference between a man and a boy."

And what does Rihanna have to say about it all? “Ain’t nobody bidness….. But mine and my baby!” according to a tweet picked up by TMZ.

After Brown tested positive for marijuana, a Los Angeles judge last month refused to revoke his probation from a 2009 conviction for physically assaulting Rihanna. She hasn’t been shy about her affection for him despite the 2009 assault.

With tears, Rihanna told Oprah Winfrey earlier this year that she still loved Breezy.
