While most are turning their noses up at their reconciliation, 50 Cent says people shouldn't be so quick to judge as Chris has paid for the assault.

Its in the past. How long do you have to pay for a mistake you made? 50 told the Daily Star.

When your debt is done, its been paid to society. Rihanna is doing her thing.

In Rihanna's interview with Rolling Stone, Rihanna said she would rather be happy than live by the opinions of others.

I decided it was more important for me to be happy. I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it'smymistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and ! dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it, she said.
