Matt Barnes Says He Never Lied About Relationship With Rihanna

NBA star Matt Barnes has been known to lust after Rihanna‘s #RiskItAll snatch for months but are the two actually dating?

The baller recently got blasted by the singer for flexing to TMZ about their “relationship” when Rihanna says the two never even met!

So who is lying?? Matt Barnes now claims he knows the truth

Via Jim Rome:

“You live and you learn. When you’re in a situation like this and, you know, you just learn. You just got to keep stuff to yourself obviously,” Barnes said. “But the way I’m putting it right now, I’m too grown to lie, you know what I mean. It is what it is, I’m going to let this blow by like everything else blows by.”

“I just smiled. I just smiled, that’s it,” Barnes said. “What can you do? At the end of the day we’re all grown-ups. Like I said I’m too grown to be lying about stuff but life is life. You live and you learn.”

As for Rihanna’s brutal seven hashtag’s downplaying their relationship/friendship, Barnes still wasn’t backing off of his TMZ video comments.

Matt later says he’s too grown to lie because he is right about Rihanna:

“In life in general, there’s no need. I’m grown,” Barnes said. “My upbringing just doesn’t allow me to have that kind of stuff in it. Life, sports whatever it is I’m just about the truth. I’m always going to be me, even if you know sometimes my mouth gets me in trouble. I’m always going to be me, because I speak on things I feel passionately about. So love me or hate me I’m going to be me regardless.”
