Rihanna and Chris Brown being sued by photographer

Pap says their minders nicked his camera

Rihanna and Chris Brown have never confirmed if they're in a relationship

Rihanna and Chris Brown are being sued for £700,000 by a snapper who claims he was beaten up by their security guards.

Luis Santana, 26, alleges he was attacked after taking pictures of the pair in a limo outside the Vintage Ultra Lounge in St Petersburg seven months ago.

He says the minders took his £2,000 camera so the footage wouldn’t be leaked to the press.

It is thought he wants compensation for loss of earnings, personal injuries and distress.

‘It’s really unfortunate,’ a spokesman for Rihanna tells Metro. ‘I do believe that this matter is completely blown out of proportion.’

A rep for Chris denies the singer or his security were involved in the reported incident.

Rihanna, 20, and Chris, 19, have always maintained they are just good friends.
