Did Katy Perry request to sit away from Rihanna at the Grammys?

Katy Perry and Rihanna’s friendship appears to be on rocky ground as reports emerge they were seated separately at the Grammys

Katy Perry and Rihanna’s friendship has hit a rough patch, if recent reports that Katy put in a special request not be seated near Rihanna and Chris Brown during the Grammys are to be believed.

Reports of a rift between the former best friends initially emerged in October when Rihanna reunited with Chris Brown, who is currently on probation for an assault on the star in 2009. And such claims appear cemented after the events at the Grammys earlier this month.

The girls’ decision not to sit together as they had done previously is further proof things have fizzled out. A source told USmagazine.com: ‘They aren’t tight anymore because Katy doesn’t approve of Rihanna dating Chris Brown.’

At this year’s Grammys Rihanna cuddled up to Chris Brown while Katy and her beau John Mayer sat elsewhere. The last time Rihanna and Katy were seen together was at the MTV Video Music Awards in September.
