Karrueche Tran Fake Engagement Ring, Craves Chris Brown Instagram Fame Amid Future Dating HOAX

Karrueche Tran's currently single, but why does she still enjoy flaunting a sparkly diamond on her left ring finger?

The aspiring actress continues wearing jewelry given to her by ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown. And here's why...

"I wear this ring when I want to because it's my ring. It's on THAT finger because it keeps men away. Simple as that."

Well, Tran put such "fake" engagement bling on full display again earlier this month while shopping around Los Angeles (via Ok! magazine). This snapshot from a Lakers game on Sunday (January 17) recently went viral on Instagram:

Maybe she still wants the attention associated with her former "Loyal" beau? Because she's clearly not preparing to walk down the aisle anytime soon.

Meanwhile, Tran insists that she's not ready to date again quite yet:

"I haven't really explored dating yet and I'm not sure if I'm mentally there just because of all the stuff that I've been through. It's a lot to open up to somebody... I think people are intimidated by the drama [from my past relationship, and don't want] to deal with it because it's an ongoing story. I'm very guarded and very to myself" (via Kontrol Magazine).

And despite "flirting" with rapper Future online, sources insist that Tran's not romantically involved with Ciara's former flame:

"This is a huge lie. They don't even know each other at all" (via GossipCop).

She would rather just have fun with Hollywood "bestie," Christina Milian:

trouble coming through

But do readers still think Breezy has strong feelings towards the brunette cutie? Right now, he's trying to stay away from all the relationship drama:
