Chris Brown showed no signs of a post-breakup hangover earlier this week when he was reportedly spotted dancing with a mystery hottie to one of his favourite jams â" by ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
Indeed, the dust had barely settled on controversial Chris' recent split with the touring Diamonds singer when he rocked up at New York's Standard Hotel â" venue of the yearly Met Gala's after party â" with a group of pals on Wednesday (May 8).
Never one to let the grass grow under his feet, Chris is understood to have hit the dance-floor with a female companion as soon as he heard thy opening strains of RiRi hit The Only Girl in the World â" but not before he 'danced and screamed' to Gotye's 2012 track Somebody That I Used to Know.

âHe was putting on a big show, dancing and screaming to 'Somebody That I Used to Know' with lots of enthusiasm,â an eyewitness told HollywoodLife. âIt seemed he was really into the message of the song.â
And with verses like this â" You didn't have to cut me off/Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing/I don't even need your love/But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough â" it's not hard to see why.
According to the eyewitness, single Chris started body-rolling with his dance partner at 2am: âHe was dancing casually, not aggressively, body rolling in her direction," he added.

The previous night, Rihanna took an unexpected opportunity to reference her recent split with Chris while she was up on stage in New York.
âAnybody who thinks love is the most complicated s*** ever? This is for us complicated ones. What the f*** now...â she hollered between tracks.
The former couple officially ended their relationship just two days prior to her New York show, with the split said to be prompted by Chris' decision to spend his birthday with old flame Karrueche Tran.
âThere are only so many games a girl can play, and when it's played out, you move on,â a Rihanna source explained. âShe's talking about how (she) wants, no...NEEDS to be treated. No exceptions. She demands loyalty, honesty and respect.
âIt's just a must for her, and no matter how much she loves and cares and gives, she gets tired after a while.â
