Barbadian singer, turned actress, entrepreneur and humanitarian has hit the big 3-0! The singer turned 30 on Feb. 20th and got a birthday wish from her ex-beau Chris Brown.

Brown took to his Instagram page to wish the singer happy birthday, under a baby photo of RiRi. The post amassed more than 630,000 likes and plenty of angry comments, many of which referenced the night that Rihanna was sent to the hospital after being brutally assaulted by then-beau Brown in February 2009.
