Drake + Chris Brown: A Timeline Of Their Tumultuous Relationship

Chris Brown and Drake’s friendship has seen some serious twists and turns over the years. Although they started off as friendly associates, their relationship began to sour in 2010 when the Toronto-based rapper was linked to Breezy's ex-girlfriend, Rihanna. From social media jabs to the bar brawl heard around the world in 2012, it's easy to forget that these two were friends before they were foes. And now it looks like they're back to being friends again? It's definitely hard to keep up with their saga! That's why VH1 has broken it down for you.

While we wait, here’s a look at Chris Brown and Drake’s relationship over the years.
