A birthday wish in 140 characters or less would seem harmless enough, but not in the case of Chris Brown and Rihanna.

The former couple made some waves this weekend with an exchange on the social media service that’s simple in sentiment but complicated given their back story.

‘Happy Birthday Robyn!’ Brown tweeted (warning: responses may contain profanity) on Sunday to the ‘We Found Love’ singer, full name Robyn Rihanna Fenton. Rihanna responded with a ‘Thanks!’ — but the fan reaction that prompted seconds after was a lot more, uh, animated.

From profane cries of disgust to emoticon-laden messages of hope, the mixed reactions are understandable. In 2009, Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting Rihanna in a now-famous Grammys eve altercation in Hancock Park — one that left the singer badly beaten, especially on her highly visible face.

The tweets, which marked Rihanna’s 24th b-day, come on the heels of speculation that Brown will appear on an upcoming remix track from Ri’s latest album, ‘Talk That Talk.’

Is it appropriate for the former duo to tweet at each other? Or collaborate musically, for that matter? Tell us in comments.
