Jay-Z Talks Chris Brown & Rihanna Relationship: Why I Can’t Intervene

Jay-Z Won’t Try To Control Rihanna

“That’s not my place [to interfere],” Jay told Hot 97′s The Angie Show. “I can’t control the outcome of her life. I can’t intervene.”

Jay-Z continued to explain that he can only give Rihanna advice, but at the end of the day it’s up to her to decide how she wants to live. “I can give advice, if asked, you know, and that’s it. I can provide information, and then life has to play out. Life has to happen.”

Ah Jay-Z, so wise.

He is right though — especially with a strong personality like Rihanna, trying to control her would only push her further away. Jay suggested that he has plenty of “really good” advice to give RiRi on the topic of Chris, but he’s likely doing the right thing by not forcing it down her throat.

The 43-year-old rapper also admitted in the interview that he doesn’t exactly keep up on the ups and downs of Rihanna and Chris’ relationship. “I’m not into that,” he said, “I don’t have enough time in the day to invest in it.”
