Drake is not impressed that Chris Brown wished Rihanna's mother, Monica Braithwaite on her 57th birthday. The Canadian rapper thinks the Loyal hitmaker is desperate to get the Barbadian beauty's attention.

A source told Hollywood Life: "It isn't Drake's business, but he thought Chris [Brown] was being extra thirsty by wishing Rihanna's mother a happy birthday on Instagram. If he were a real man, he would have sent her mom flowers and a card and did it all on the low, like Drake did, instead of trying to be noticed."

"Don't get it wrong, Chris' message was a nice gesture. But Drake thinks he wasn't genuine and that he only did it to get Rih's attention. Drake loves Rihanna and has the utmost respect for her and her family, especially her Monica! But make no mistake, the last thing Drake wants to see is Rih and Chris together," the insider added.

Brown had infamously assaulted the five-time Grammy winner in 2009. He hit her so forcefully that she had major bruising on her face, a split lip, and a bloody nose. However, the two of them still have a strong and complicated bond, despite their public breakup and drama.

Another source said: "Rih knows Chris is on tour, doing his thing, but him taking time to drop her mother a special note like that on Instagram, that speaks volume to Rihanna."
