Karrueche Tran No 'Ego Boost' for Chris Brown: Breezy Rejuvenates Confidence with Rihanna's Acceptance, Music Career Soars

It's a known fact that Chris Brown dumped his former flame Karrueche Tran to rekindle a romantic relationship with "Diamonds" songstress Rihanna... but is it all because Breezy just needed a simple ego boost? According to recent reports, RiRi gives Brown the confidence he needs to refocus positive energy on his flourishing music career. Something which 24-year-old Tran couldn't offer... read on for details!

Apparently, Rihanna's love and acceptance is what helped Breezy get back on his feet following 2009's domestic abuse charges. As a result, he can now rededicate himself to a successful career in the music biz. An alleged insider tells Hollywood Life, “Chris was definitely in a tough spot after the assault... But patching things up with Rihanna really gave him the confidence to start focusing on his music again.”

The source goes on to explain that RiRi's support and loyalty totally reinvigorates the "Fine China" crooner - “Now his career is hotter than ever because he feels like he has her blessing to be a star again... The industry is definitely anticipating for him to make a big impact with his new album coming out this summer.''

Just last month, Brown openly admitted that he's ''extremely grateful'' for Rihanna's wholehearted forgiveness - the violent incident from 2009 made him realize he could ''lose it all." But now thanks to this "ego boost" from his leading lady, he's finally able to move forward again and get back on track with his music.

Guess Tran didn't provide Breezy with that confidence he needed to succeed? What do fans think?
