In a middle finger to the fans who continue the search for her talent, Rihanna shared the insulting shot above this week.
Undeterred by the fact her vocals sound like an exorcism, the model nonchalantly puffs away on a cigarette while on the set of a Terry Richardson photoshoot.
See, it’s instances like this which render Rih even more of a punchline than she is. For, as with most things Fenty, this was likely thrown out there to push her “rock n roll” gimmick. And yet the joke is that none of these practices combined have managed to push her latest album ‘Talk That Talk’ past the 700k mark – 5 months after release.
It’s high time her team stopped believing in the smoke from her cigar and get this girl a vocal coach pronto. She’s coasted along this far, yet the fact remains – money can only buy wigs and gimmicks, not talent.
Your thoughts?

Robin you are not Adele
Such a role model!
She is a nasty cheap classless talentless woman. Shes a joke and everyone knows it. I wonder when or if she will ever be a respected critically acclimed artist that is talked about for her talent rather than her naked pictures, wigs, getting beat up, horrible performances, tacky songs ect
sam why you still talking about her us sales. first of all the us is not the big f*ckin’ media world there alone. and those sales aren’t that bad. not the best – a lil mediocre for a big popstar – but fully okey for her multigenre mix. there’s barely peopz buying it just for a couple genre songs. so what?!
🙂 😉
she is so trashy and she looks like she smells bad
She’s about to stage a Britney-style meltdown for attention and pity…
Yet you need her to push your site hits everyday, right? I don’t understand, if you don’t like her, why do you post about her non-stop? It would be one thing if once in a while, but you post news that I would never have known less I come here. I don’t really care about her personal life, sales and whatever else. I just like her music. YOU on the other hand seem to stan the hell out this girl. Why not instead of posting useless info every 3 seconds, you show us stuff that would actually be interesting or noteworthy. No one cares if Rihanna can’t sing and she’s smoking. If they like her, they’ll buy her music. This site is starting to rub off as just another MediaTakeOut. Useless info by useless and equally talentless people.
are we gonna read about this everytime theres a pic of riri smoking…shes being doing it since rated r cut the crap…
in my aretha franklin voice:this is coming from someone who smokes cigarettes before every show my friend responsible YOU DONT KNOW HIM
Recent observation: i like how people are no longer buying @sam’s fake shade on riri.
Dear Rihanna,
F*** off you nasty little c***. GTFO!
This site is becoming ridiculous with the Rihanna hate. I’ve never been a fan of her music but y’all can’t act like she ain’t on top of the game right now. Y’all hate on her everyday just to get comments. This junk getting crazy now and aggravating to the people who come to this site to find out the latest in the music biz. Not the latest hate towards Rihanna. Leave the girl alone sheesh. Additionally Adele smokes the hell out of cigarettes… And it’s a photoshoot she prob didn’t even inhale it.
The grape looing for hits in Hopeless Places as usual when it’s Rihanna. And at the end of the day Rihanna is still on top and Owning this site ad over a dozen Others Sites to go along with this one. Rihanna is still paid…..
And as the grape staff look through many windows of many different Artist and keep posting the most negative picture they can post and add to that a completely negative article about it You will only tend to drive many of Rihanna fans and navy away from your post, Hide and watch. Keep posting negative article on Rihanna and watch….
In no wayis Rihanna perfect ad fr from it but to dig into her ass and not just post the post and go easy you post the Articles andthey tries to kick Rihanna in her ass along with the article and you do not do any of the other artists like that at all and it is clear for all to see eexcatly what you are doing in the final say no one ha to Defend Rihannabecause she is already a winner no matter what you post or say negative about her. Rihanna know that she isn’t Adele and she know what she is doing and even with his less see how much vocal lessons she is goingto get. I man Rihanna know already that this picture and this negatie article was going to be posted…..
she looks like Rita Ora’s embarassing drunk aunt.
Rihanna know about tis cloen picture but this S***** picture
Does not defind her and tose who feel that she is off the Hooks
Keep that thought in mid as she pulls another Fat Ass Rabbit out
of her hat.
Um… she already has a vocal coach?!?!?
And it’s a fashion shoot, lots of stars light up a cigarette for a shoot , who cares, she doesn’t want to be a role model, just herself
My english i f’d all the way up…..
TGJ need to realize that very few people checking for her . 15 minutes of fame over. Comments are getting less.Thats why shes so desperate for attention.
My thing is even with many of the other artist
Who have got better vocals than she has why
aren’t they doing anything with all of their
natural Talents and yet Rihanna isn’t as good
a Vocalist and dancer as many yet she is always
working her ass off, why is that?
There are just as many Beat up pictures of Rihanna
as there are Glamour shots. And even with this Photo
Rihanna is still # 9 On Ask Men.com of Sexiest women
of 2012 and Nicki is #5, Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
This
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2106050/Rihannas-partying-caught-hits-recording-studio-looking-drained.html
Tired and still doing her dam thing.
Rihanna’s Fashion and Style landed her on the People’s Top 10 of best dressed in 2008 and she made the cover with Angelina and carrie underwood….
Rihanna has appeared on he Maxium Hot 100 lists for three Consecutive years
listed as # 8,,,,,#15,,,,,#8 for three years in a row 2007-08-09……….
Many of her styles are Risque and Raunchy as all get out but she is still a style Icon in her own right.
Yeah, because Rihanna is the ONLY person in the music industry that is photoed smoking! #TryAGAIN TGJ.
Rihanna isn’t the only person Puffing there are of course
those fellow’s who smoke those high dollar Cigars……….
She isn’t trying to be Ms. Perfect leave
that for the Other’s who want to………….
@sam, Its true, people aint checking for riri hate no more on this site. The no. Of hits on ririhateposts are falling,,, those doubting check the recent riri posts. We simple tired. We come here to chec for the latest news on showbiz, not to feed on some hatered tactically ploted to gunner the blogger more hits. I m not realy a fan but i think what this site is doing to rihanna is neither morally right no ethically acceptable. She is human just lyk anyone else and have emotions; think about it!!!
This site is suppose to be about music news, not the latest on what Robyn Fenty is puffing on!
Its funny Rihanna gets bashed for so-so sales yet beyonce got a free pass on ‘4’.
And dont even try to say its because bey had no hit singles because from what I understand bey is a legend thus she she should have sold more than a little over 1 mill in the states, doesnt a legend who is often called the new Michael Jackson have enough fans to at least sell 2-4 mill off name alone in the states?
And dont try to say its because the music on the album wasnt commercial because Adele is not commercial yet she has 3 #1s and 8 mill sold in the states alone.
And before anyone tries to call me a rhi stan I will let it be known that I have all of beyonces albums and only 3 rihanna albums and I love all of their music im just saying…
@ VLB, you can say that again. she already has a medicore voice and she smokes to look cool. ri ri darling you are not Adele.
Oh Nooooooooooooooo Did I speak 2 soon when I said I liked this site LMAO. Idk who wrote this post but the opinion on her was a little 2 harsh. What’s wrong with ANYONE doing what they want? You don’t like her as a role model? Find a new one lol. Don’t hate on someone like that. It makes you look bad and insecure.
very unexpected but if she wants to do it then dont judge her
THIS MAY BE THE DUMBEST ARTICLE IVE READ TODAY ..

@RATEDXXXX……Preach and right on time as always, Good Reads
Truths & Facts.

Rihanna looks style bistro
How wise it is for one to speak Positive vibes about another
and let the people judge for themselves what is good and what is
bad for that person. Often time we are in a rush to nail a homer on
a person without thinking about it twice and could care less about the
Out come. No man or woman is a Island we all have down time and times
when we are not at our very best. But we know that if we fall and never get
back up your job will never be finished and you will never amount to a hill of
Beans

Well, good for her! I don’t really care about the good role model, since she’s clearly not one! Let’s not pretend that we are surprised here, she’s just gonna damage what’s left of her voice, which is not much! She needs to know that, Adele can ’cause she has a badass voice, but not Rihanna!
XOXO, Hil.
When will people learn to speak wisely and not impulsively?
Will people ever learn to use words of kindness and not negative
s*** all of the time, aganist other’s.
Remember you have the power to heal others are to injure them.
You have the power to lift people up or to try and hold them back.
http://www.stylebistro.com/lookbook/Rihanna/
Words can up lift up or discourage us, and Reckless words spoken in haste
cannot be erased we should try to measure our words carefully spoken aganist
Others. Often a hard thing to do is stay positive in a mostly negative Society.
Rihanna don’t care who get to wear that “Role Model” Necklace around
their neck because she have made it very clear that she do not want and
will never wear that Role Model Necklace. There are many waiting in line
to wear that Role Model Neck Tie and more power to them.
Thank you, @JEY and @EDWARDPONTON. Sam, read their comments and take the hint.
I’m sorry, but you’re an idiot. Stop starting sentences with, “For…”
Yall wilding out like always. I didn’t see any of y’all Adele worshippers crying about her being a heavy smoker. Not even when she had to get throat surgery as a result. Hypocrites.

Was waiting for my girls name to be brought up….this is a post about Rihanna…lets stick to that…..k…thanks
And Im not gonna give Rihanna a pass. She keeps getting passes for her antics. But at the end of the day, she owes nothing to no one.
Hate her hair lately. Not sure if she’e ok, something does seem off, but we really cant judge someone from a pic. Just dont want her to spin outta control. I know we havent seen the best of her, want her to get better as an artist.
Cant wait for the Where Have You Been vid…..
Racist goat
I feel like she smokes just to be ‘rebelious’ when really she just looks like an idiot.
Soooooooo she smokes okay!?
Wtf ima make this website my rihanna fix website cause ya clearly on her c***!
Dam shes A person too not mother teresa if gaga posed wit a cig it would be considered art
HONESTLY QUIT HATING ON MY GURL RIRI SHE HAS TALENT AND SHE IS A GREAT VOCALIST, JUST BECAUSE SHE MAY NOT SOUND LIKE ADELE, OR BEYONCE DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANY TALENT. HONESTLY THIS WEBSIE IS ALWAYS HATING ON MY GURL RIRI SHE HAS 11 NUMBER ONE SINGLES! AND DONT EVEN LIE HER SONGS ARE SO GOOD WE KNOW THAT YOU GUYS WILL BE SINGING THEM LIKE WE FOUND LOVE, WHATS MY NAME, AND ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD. HONESTLY SHES A GROWN ASS WOMEN WHO HAS TALENT THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE AND SHE CAN DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS, WHOEVER WROTE THIS MUST BE REAL JEALOUS. REALLY ALBUM SALES ARE NOTHING NOW DAYS EXCEPT FOR ADELE CAUSE HER ALBUM IS ON THE TOP OF THE CHARTS BUT RIRI’S MUSIC WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER ONE 48 MILLION DOWNLOADS WORLDWIDE, AND SHE IS A SUPERSTAR #DONTHATE.
Madonna didn’t have any vocal talent either, and she had her gimmicks but this trick is SO transparent,
15 minutes . . . tick tock, tick tock. TGJ, stop being hung up on her & maybe she’ll disapear even faster
JUST INCASE YOU IDIOTS HAVENT NOTICED……………
Rihanna spends MOST of her time in the UK, so of course she wont have great sales in the US…. (she hasnt had a number one album)
well guess what….. Just incase you havent noticed (or maybe you were too bashing her to realise)
HER ALBUM WAS #1 WORLDWIDE….. and her song WFL, #1 WORLDWIDE for 14 WEEKS!!! come on, cut the crap and leave her alone…. does it matter how many she’s sold so far as long as she sells?
If Rihanna is an INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR why do you only count her credits in the US? yall are so f****** stupid.
I Like RIhanna but her antics are getting ridicolous. She”s just MANAFACTURED. She has to rely on everything but her talent, to grab’s people attention
Why would a grown ass woman of the age of 24 need to post a photo of her smoking. Rihanna needs to accept that she’s not bad ass, she’s LAME as f*ck! If your having a smoke, have it and get on with your day, (no one cares , half of the world smoke), who the f*ck takes a picture of it and posts it on twitter. Can’t believe some of you support this foolery.
Stop sweating her antics if you don’t like what she does or her being talentless why don’t
you GTFO,,,,,,Leave Rihanna and her so-called S***** Antics and her no-talent
Career to those who supports her and her Antics. I mean it is her life and if you don’t like the way she is living it then find yourself the Tallest Cliff and take a Dive.
She isn’t trying to live her life like little miss perfect, the whit artist can do what they want to and some choic blacks but when it come to Rihana there’s always some a/h trying to Critique her and her life GTFO….. Critique your dam self and leave her along, and when i read your sob stories of how dullsville your lives are then i along with others will know that you are just what you are actinglike and that id Guttertrash pissy and bitter bcause te Bijan have come to America and shiwed you how it’s done.
Ps Those sudle Jabs at her isn’t going to Faze her ne way or the other and she can Puff til she get tires and what or you going to do about it but BYTCH YO ASSES OFF…..
@ s*** …… Yeah that is what they fail to understand. no one is against her smoking but for christ sake. I f she had a great voice then ok. She goes about putting the photos up whilst some smokers choose a private setting to smoke. Like really that is acceptable. That is attention seeking. posting pics of yourself whilst some celebs try to ditch the paps is attention seeking.
She is nothing but an embarassment and everyone who is mature enough can see through her. And for sales just after 6 yrs, ~1 singles ,album after album, fresh hype, still cannot do great numbers. What the f*** her numbers will be after a decade in music?
sam is not hating read properly, she is not hating everrything he says is the truth. She wanted the attention and she gets it too bad it is not what you guys want to hear
To hell with english i wil just creat my own language.
@Jon,,, Yes shes a joke and everybody know it You are so Right that is why
Sesas rich and famous as she is, and the world shows her love…..
@Jon,,,,Yes she’s a cheap, talentless,classles woman and yes she is so why don’t your Raggedy, hating skunk ass go in search of your perfect woman who has all of the great qualities that Rihana don’thave as your Ms. Perfect. Rihanna will stick to being herself and fukkkkk the dumb because her Facebook number has moved to 53.4 miion and her youtube views on her single “You Da One” have got 50 million viesw and climbing.
Until some one put a gun to your head to try and mke you love or dislike her then that shows me that we arell on our own as far as if we do or do not like Rihanna .
i grant you she have got many Antics thati don’t like but that is where her Manger Jay z and her Label Bu Thiam Def Jamc come in at. They are the one’s who get paid the big bucks to keep her fit as a fiddle. Many of her haters really act like they wantto be connected with Rhanna’s well oiled Machine and getting paid he big bucks to keep her lined all the way out. But not me and not many Fans we are here for her Music, Style, fashons and she’s a very interesting Artist. From her voice to what she’s up to she have got that “It Factor and alway a Mystery about her and what she’s going to do next.
She keep us wondering and waiting to see what she’s going to hit us with next. And we don;t care if it’s he hair, nails love interest, are who she flirting with and what she Won and what she wore on and off the RED CARPET RIHANNA IS VERY, VERY INTERESTING AND A BRIGHT LIGHT /TORCH IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY AND UNTIL SOME ONE ELSE COME TO THE SENCE WITH AS MUSH GUSTO, CHARM, SASSNESS, AND LIKEABILITY I AND OTHERS OR IN LIKE FLINT……
WHAT A BUM!
She really don’t have to have a great voice because there are many with better voices and there will always be those who are better but what does the best voice have to do with the people who have the better voice then Rihanna has yet we don’t see them working as hard as Rihanna is working…….
If it’s a bigger and better vocals then perhaps Rihanna isn’t your cup of tea. Rihanna has to be doing something right to even be filling her shoes as well as she is filling them. Haters are for ever coming at Rihanna with their idea of how she should be when in reality they hate her from start and there is nothing Rihanna can ever do to please her haters who are roosting an waiting on their knees for her to decline from the air ways, keep holding your breath for her to do what you want her to do. Go in search of your fave you bytches are each and every Rihanna post trying to suggest what sheneed to do. She don’t need to do
jack s*** ro please her haters R U Nutts?
Facebo 53.4 million keep talking smack.
Rihanna haters are well on their way to stroking out
trying to keep downing her silly antics that she does to keep
their asses talking but trust that as she do silly stuff she is doing
things that is also very positive, along the way.
She keeps bucking the Naysayers and she keep them yapping.
All the while she is doing her thing and working on yet another
one of her many projects.
As the writer write’s That Curry Goat’s Logic is something else,
Rihanna’s Pastor says that people look to her as an Idol and
mentor and copy her life style. The Pastor and the people are
praying for Rihanna to change her life style. We all need people
praying for us that do help. There are people on the Island who
feel that she Parties waaaaaaay to hard, Then they ask the question,,,,
What Young People…….Willow Smith?????????????????????????
her fans need to message on twitter. her vocals are already WEAK, smoking will make weaker FACT! Adele gave up on cigarettes btw!
