Rihanna has dismissed the speculation surrounding herself and former boyfriend Chris Brown after they collaborated earlier this year.

The pair worked together on a couple of tracks following some years apart after their relationship broke down.

In Rihanna's recent cover interview with Esquire, the singer touched on the subject but reckoned people are just "jumping to assumptions" over speculation they rekindled their romance.

She added that it would be silly if she was romantically linked to all the collaborators she has worked with. She said:

"I think a lot of people jumped to an assumption that was incorrect and they ended up looking stupid. Because of a song. How stupid. If I was together with every collaborator I worked with...f*** my life."
