Chris Brown’s social media activity has raised eyebrows after news broke of Rihanna’s reported childbirth with A$AP Rocky.

On Thursday, reports emerged that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed a baby boy together on May 13th. The couple has yet to officially confirm the news on their own social media platforms.

Sparking questions and online buzz, Chris Brown, Rihanna’s ex-boyfriend from 2007 to 2009, seemingly addressed the birth news with a cryptic Instagram Story.

The since-disappeared post displayed a simple image: an orange background adorned with praying hands and heart emojis, accompanied by a pregnant woman emoji and the caption “Congratulations.”

It’s important to acknowledge the couple’s well-documented history. Brown’s 2009 assault on Rihanna led to his arrest and a felony assault charge. While they briefly reconnected after the incident, they ultimately ended their relationship in 2013.

The internet wasted no time in expressing surprise at Brown’s online gesture. Many Twitter users voiced their astonishment, with some questioning the appropriateness of the message.

Earlier this month, A$AP Rocky’s single “D.M.B.” fueled speculation of a lyrical jab towards Brown, with Rihanna prominently featured in the music video. Certain lyrics and a scene depicting a wedding between Rocky and Rihanna further fueled rumors of a hidden message.

With both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky remaining silent on social media and Brown’s cryptic post, the situation continues to unfold. Whether this is a genuine gesture of congratulations or something more remains to be seen.
