Rihanna fans have expressed their fury after her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown commented on a photograph she shared on Instagram.

The singer shared a string of pictures of herself at the Barbados festival Crop Over, held in honour of the sugar cane harvest, dressed in a jewelled bikini, turquoise wig and huge multi-coloured feather headdress.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice one shot had caught the attention of Brown.

Rihanna was assaulted by Brown in 2009 when they were in a relationship. A photograph of her injuries were leaked to TMZ and Brown was sentenced to community service.

She later told Vanity Fair: “I don’t hate him. I will care about him until the day I die.

“We’re not friends, but it’s not like we’re enemies. We don’t have much of a relationship now.”
