It doesn’t matter how many are shaking their heads. Even if most people remember that Chris Brown once used his fists to violently beat his then-girlfriend Rihanna’s face, if we’re reading her tweet correctly, she probably does not.

The pop singer, who admitted to Oprah that she still loves her infamous ex, recently sent some good luck messages to her “baby” before his court hearing yesterday.

“Praying for you baby, my best wishes are with you today! Remember that whatever God does in our lives, it is WELL DONE!!!”

To make the message clear, she added:”@chrisbrown I’m praying for you and wishing u the best today.”

He replied: “Thank u so much.”

The R&B singer, who was given five years’ probation after attacking Rihanna in Feb. 2009, was reprimanded by Judge Patricia Schnegg after he failed a drug test. He tested positive for marijuana in June in Virginia.

Judge Schnegg let him off with a mere slap on the wrists after he claimed he smoked it in California, where he has a medicinal marijuana card.

Schnegg said mandatory drug testing was not a condition of Brown’s probation. But she scheduled a Nov. 1 hearing to decide whether he had violated his probation on that and other matters, including travel restrictions and fulfillment of his community service.

She gave Brown a warning: “A lot of people look up to you, a lot of kids. What you do and what you say impacts a lot of people.”
