Rihanna seems to have a thing for violent men

Chris Brown notoriously beat her.  Now her baby-daddy-to-be A$AP Rocky is in trouble for shooting a guy.

But Rocky wants to make it clear he'd never beat Rihanna.

And in doing so, he takes a jab at Brown.

“I don’t beat my bitch, I need my bitch,"Rocky raps on his new track "D.M.B."

Is this something Chris Brown is going to take notice of and make a thing about?

Or is the reference subtle enough for Breezy to let it slide?
