He’s the label executive Frank Ocean, Elijah Blake, Nas and Rick Ross all consider the driving force behind their recent successes.
However, despite his outstanding year as the head of the Def Jam music group, Joie Manda has resigned from his role as the label’s President and is now on his way to Jimmy Iovine’s Interscope Records.
Details below…
The first President of the label since Jay Z’s departure from the label, Joie said of his departure:
“Despite having to move back to Los Angeles for personal reasons, I am truly grateful to Barry, John and Jimmy Iovine for this exciting new opportunity. I’ve learned a lot from Barry in the last year and am very appreciative of everything he has done for me. I am now looking forward to being part of the Interscope family, a company uniquely positioned for success despite this challenging marketplace.“
No doubt a shocking blow to any aware of the success he garnered while at DJ (see ‘Channel Orange‘, ‘Bijoux 22′ and ‘God Forgives‘) Manda will now serve as Interscope’s President of Urban Music. A role, which will see him end his time at Def Jam today and start at Interscope on Monday- bidding adieu to Barry Weiss to report to John Janick.
On his time there, Manda revealed that the highlight of the experience came via Frank Ocean and the openness surrounding his sexuality. Speaking to Billboard Biz, he shared:
“…talking about his sexuality in such a brave way, and us rallying around him as a company, I’m excited to work with an artist who broke barriers.”
Here’s hoping Joie’s time at Interscope is just as fruitful as his tenure of Def Jam was.
Rihanna and her power. This move is in prep to BRING TO bring Rih to interscope in record breaking $100 million doll deal now that Rih’s contract with def jam has expired.
Jimmy Iovine and Rih together will rule the game.
Joie only got this break cos of the WORK he done with Rih. I dont why you names nas, franck ocean and Elijah blake. Who the f*** is elija blake? Nas cannot sell ( sadly ) and franck ocean had to be gay just to chart.
RIH IS THE REAL STAR AT DEF JAM. But, anyway it is all going down! Rih’s contract has expired with defa jam. She signed a 7 album deal and now that has been fulfilled – very well, I might add.
Now, she is about to SHAKE THE music industry up on it’s head by GOING TO JIMMY AT INTERSCOPE FOR A RECORD BREAKING $100 MILLION – THE BIGGEST DEAL IN HISTORY.
B*******! You stupid s***. Rihanna isn’t worth anybody’s 100 million when the only thing she’s good at is selling singles. Beyonce is worth the 100 million and so was Janet. How can she worth 100 million when most of her albums haven’t even sold 2 million in America.
Her contract has expired with Def jam and she is free agent who has sold more than 200 mill. SHE WILL GOT TO interscope for KILLER MONEY AND YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING. All you can do is just sit in your house and get mad, while she toast chamapagne in the boardroom with Jimmy and her lawyers.
e’s the label executive Frank Ocean, Elijah Blake, Nas and Rick Ross all consider the driving force behind their recent successes.
The biggest ever EVER ARTIST TO COME FROM DEF JAM is Rihanna. She is 25, from a little island. She is legend on that alone. NO ARTIST IN HISTORY of def jam has DONE WHAT SHE HAS DONE GLOBALLY. This includes DMX, JAYZ, LLCOOL J etc.
So, whether you want to be petty and leave her name out and add dirty gay Elijah blake WHO WILL NEVER SELL A RECORD IN HIS LIFE will never diminish that. LOL at that whole ‘ one hit wonder tag ‘ She owns a WHOLE LABEL.
When they do the story of Def jam 50 years from now. Rick Rubin, Russell Simmons, RUN DMC, LL COOL JA, DMX JAY Z AND RIH will have their names in DEF JAM HISTORY.
LEGEND STATUS!
Rihanna runs the company? Is that why they have her on a 360 b****? Rihanna doesn’t run s***, if she sold enough albums she could have renegotiated her contract but she takes a year to sell a million so they know she’s not as big as all the other girls.
BOSS B****** don’t have 360 contracts. Adele hasn’t got one. Taylor hasn’t got one. Beyonce hasn’t got one. Nicki hasn’t got one. But Rihanna has.
When I say she runs Def jam, I mean it in tongue in cheek way, as she is the biggest EVER ACT to come from DEFA JAM. Also, when she signed in 2004, they did not have 360 deals. Also, no matter what the terms of her contract is, the fact remains that her contract has expired and she is more profitable now, than in 2004. WINNING!
YOU CANNOT CHANGE THAT FACT! Who told Rih has a 360? Who told you that Nicki does not ?
How do these b****** know what kind of contract Rihanna has? I need to see some RECEIPTS because these f*** are throwing 360 around a little toooooo much!
Lolz at the Riwhore stan talking s*** above. Rihanna isn’t Def jam’s biggest singer by any stretch of the imagination.
YES SHE IS. THERE IS NOT ANYBODY FROM DEF JAM PAST AND PRESENT THAT SOLD 100 MILLION IN 7 YEARS, NOT EVEN JUSTIN BIEBER. What is funny is that beyonce is NOWHERE the biggest act on SONY. I believe that would be MARIAH.
You are truly naive. Rihanna is NOT worth anybody’s 100 million and you’re finna look stupid when she doesn’t get it.
YOU are f****** stupid. SHE IS THE BIGGEST SINGER RIGHT NOW, AND I am sure her high powered lawyers are not gonna TAKE anything less that ” superstar ” contract which is what the likes of Em are on. You drop dead all you want, RIH HAS THE BEST LAWYERS AND IT SO HUGE AND ALIST THAT SHE CAN CALL SHOTS.
SHE IS NOT 16 with no a hit to her name anymore. SHE IS THE HAS THE MOST NUMBER 1 in USA HISTORY. HER WHITE JEWISH Harvard educated lawyers will score A KILLER DEAL WHICH WILL BLOW MARAIH AND JANET.
You cannot stop it. Who are you? What legal firm do u work for? You will not be the boardroom when Rih, jimmy and the WHITE JEWISH lawyers are striking the deal, you will just be rotting at home angrily.
If Jimmy Iovine wants to BRING RIH to interscope and her WHITE HIGH power lawyers put a deal on the table that THEY AGREE. WHO ARE YOU TO F****** STOP IT?
RIH IS THE MYP RIGHT NOW! And you are just a rotted,matted n**** sitting in your house, without a drop pf power or influence who cannot STOP ANY MOVE GOING DOWN RIH’S CAMP. NO one is consulting your nappy ass.
YOU ARE NOTHING.
Name a singer from Def jam who has outsold RIH?
Rihanna is the biggest singer right now?Don’t do it to yourself sister.
she is the biggest ever singer or act to come from DEF JAM SHE HAS OUTSOLD JAY Z AND DMX AND THEY USE TO BE THE BIGGEST.
Rihanna outsold Jay Z? Jay has sold 26 million albums. Last time I checked all seven of Rihanna’s album don’t even come to 20 million what are you talking about deary? Anyway, this guy should go over to Epic cos those b****** haven’t got a clue 2bh.
Rihanna is clearly, younger, more famous and bigger than JAY ON ALL FRONTS. MOST OF JAYZ WW HITS COME WHEN RIH IS ON THE TRACK. JAY cannot even outsell 2pac and EM. Sit down. Rih is the most famous thing to come from Def jam. most of the world only know Em in hiop hop. JAY Z IS NON FACTOR OUTSIDE OF THE USA.
Rih albums do come clos to 20 million. GGGB is bigger than ever JAY ALBUM. HAS JAY GOT ALBUM THAT HAS SOLD MORE 6 M WW?
^^Dead @ the delusion. Why would anybody offer a b**** the highest amount when she’ll settle for the lowest? Her net worth is still under $80 million and the b**** has been out for 7 years working non stop.
Endorsement deals+ record sale+ t.v show +tour ticket sale + tour dvd sales + etc x 7(years)= should equal well over 100 mil by now, if the b**** was slaying like the navy says she is.
Beyonce’s net worth is over , almost at, or is $400 million. If a label was going to offer the highest amount possible to an artist, it would most likely go a business man/women like Beyonce.
Beyonce contract is not up. Rih’s is and she is bigger than beyonce and YOUNGER, so she will get a MEGA DEAL THAT BLOW THE NAPS ON YOUR NAPPY HEAD. YOU HAVE NO POWER TO SHUT THE DEAL DOWN.
I literally spat out my cereal when i saw the nonsense yall were talking about. 100 million for Rihanna? On which planet. The planet that she can sell more than 300k first week or the planet where her albums don’t take more than twelve months to scan a million. Let me know. Which planet?
She’s actually sold over 300K in the 6th week! #SIT
and no that’s not a WW number!
100 Million? For Rihanna? Goodbye.
Why is Rihanna brought up in this post??? LOL I cannot :/
This is so wrong. He was there a year. WTF. I’d be so mad if i was an artist there cos now they don’t know how good his replacement will be.
Elijah Blake and Frank Ocean? HA! Elijah will FLOP and Franks gay novelty has already worn off. Are y’all on Elijah’s f****** payroll?
The disrespect though. Frank is selling more than any REAL R&B dude out there and didn’t Elijah write your faves second best reggae song after MD? You may be seated.
And? I know what the f*** he wrote. And judging by the TRASHY musical direction he’s taking, he will FLOP! How about I take that seat and knock you in the head with it P****?!
You’re deadass cheeky as f***. Frank has more credibility than Riwhore will ever have and if TGJ aren’t lying Eli wrote Climax and probably makes more money from publishing than your non songwriting s*** b**** Riwhore will ever make.
The Hive show love to all of B’s writers cos they make the songs we love, yall should do the same.
Gurl f*** you, Frank, Elijah, his money(IRRELEVANT) AND the Hive. Y’all are so pressed to respond to me, y’all need to buy franks album, request his songs and download Elijah’s mixtape! Get off of my d*** dirty f***!!
Rihanna is the biggest thing at Def Jam, and she was left out….why??? GET THE F*** OUTTA HERE.
What is climax? A song that flopped, peaked at 17 and is not even gold in the USA. I just checked! Also, Elijah blake name is not listed on the writing credits.
OOOPS
Imma need you to simmer on down because I can see the Queen has you steam pressed! You have the audacity to come for the people who make Rihanna what she is.
Name 5 of her number ones that she wrote. Oh you can’t? Yeah b**** that’s because she is nothing without the people who write for her. Bey steals publishing and I can admit that but the last thing the Hive would do is come for Neyo or the Dream when they gave her her biggest songs.
Wesley Pentz, Usher Raymond, Ariel Rechtshaid, Redd Stylez
Producer
Sorry, what does her writing songs have to do with her contract? WHO CARES IF SHE WRITES OR NOT? Jimmy Iovine is looking to sign POP queen not a songwriter. What you said has nothing to with s***. EVEN bRIT IS NOTHING WITHOUT HER SONG WRITERS…….AND?
LMAO! The queen has me pressed? HOW? You were the one who brought the b**** into the conversation. The Dream and NeYo at least have platinum albums and HITS under their belt! Elijah didn’t write ANY of Rihanna’s #1 hits. But why the F*** does that matter anyway? Like I said: RIHANNA IS THE BIGGEST ACT AT DEF JAM AND SHE WASN’T MENTIONED IN THE POST. So you can fall the f*** back and listen to Single Ladies & Irreplaceable because I could give a f*** LESS what you think! You are DISMISSED!!!
Whoever they choose it better not be one of those stupid artists who think they can run labels but can’t even run their own careers. Second of all, who told anybody that Rihanna was worth 100 million on a record contract when most of the money she makes goes back to her writers and producers.
NOW that rih’s def jam contract has expired, I cannot wait to see what her next move will be. WHERE WILL SHE GO? AT least we know she is not getting dropped like Ciara. That, we are 100% sure.
You are the leader of the loose p**** brigade! Ciara has never been dropped so get your facts straight the next time you fix that horse contraption to speak lies on her.
Ciara was dropped from JIVE.
No! How could she call say the b**** is the leader of the loose p**** brigade. My life has been given to me!
I can’t with the delusion in this thread.
The Navy think she’s a bad b**** when everyone is outselling her. TMH has sold more than her first three albums combined.
Who, right now is outselling Rih? Not bey or Rita whora – not any black act. I expect a country singer like taylor to do well. THERE IS NO BLACK PERSON SELLING APART FROM RIH.
Stay is one of the biggest selling singles of 2013. Pour it up will soon follow and UNA is at 2.6, making it one of the biggest selling albums of 2013.
WHO IS THE F*** IS OUTSELLING? YOU SAID EVRYONE? DOES THAT INCLUDE kelly rowland, Rita Oral Ciara and Chris brown?
Y’all can shade RIHANNA all you want, but like my fellow Navi member said: SHE IS THE BIGGEST ACT AT DEF JAM! Out of EVERYONE Sam named, only Rick Ross fat ass is doing well right now. I’m not gonna shade Nas because he did his thing in the 90s and early 2000s, and he has a successful tour right now….but you can MISS ME with the others!!!! STAY PRESSED!
Where is Rihanna’s album of the year Grammy girl. She’s had seven albums and doesn’t one of those awards to show for it. Is that what’s making you mad?
F***** what does that have to do with anything? You are soooo pressed to start a Stan war. RIHANNA IS THE BIGGEST ACT AT DEF JAM, AND HAS BEEN SO FOR YEARS. DEAL! You are DISMISSED!!
You are mad that she is the biggest ACT TO COME FROM DEF JAM EVER IN THEIR 30 YEAR HISTORY, there has never been an act signed to def jam that TAKEN ON THE WORLD IN Y YEARS AT 17 AND RULED.
F*** A GRAMMY, which she has anywayz.
That is what I was gonna say. What does a grammy of the year have to do with anything? You think Jimmy Iovine gives a s*** if Rih wins a grammy or not? HE DOES NOT MAKE MONEY OF winning grammy’s – he makes the off record sales and she, at 25 has 100 million.
So, when Jimmy and interscope bid for RIH, her white lawyers will take nothing less than 100 mill. SHE IS AN MVP most sports stars WHO ARE A LIST HAVE DEALS AS BIG AS THAT.
Dead
I really have to kii kiii at all of this. Name one Rihanna album that sold more first week than any Beyonce or Taylor album.
I saw someone above ask someone else to name 5 Rihanna numbers ones that she wrote herself. DO IT! I’m not surprised this man is leaving Def jam when the biggest singer there can’t even scan a million after a year. Loud hasn’t even sold 2 million after three years and you h*** wanna talk about 100 million.
100 million my candy ass!!
LOUD HAS NOT SOLD 2 MILLION? YOU ARE JOKING? TTT IS AT 3. 5 AND UNA IS 2.6, I know you are not trying to say that LOUD HAS NOT SOLD MILL.
THAT WAS HUGE RIH ALBUM THAT IS STILL SELLING NOW. THAT LP OUTSOLD B DAY.
GTFOH
LOUD HAS NOT SOLD 2 MILLION?
Sorry to burst your bubble but it’s true. Loud is on 1.7 mill. Poor dat.
It says LOUD HAS SOLD 5. 7 MILLION COPIES,
In 2011, the album has sold over 5,700,000 copies worldwide.[
The last Rih LP to sell under 2 was her debut.
I have just check the Official UK charts and they said LOUD SOLD 1.8 MILLION copies making it one of the biggest LP in the UK history. SO HOW THE F*** CAN LOUD HAVE ONLY SOLD 1.7, WHEN IN THE UK IT SOLD 1.8?
POOR DAT.
WHAT ARE THE TOTAL GLOBAL SALES OF LOUD?
LOL LOL LOL let see how you get out that!
The fact these girls think Jimmy needs Rihanna is beyond me tbh. GaGa sells albums, singles AND TOURS. Rihanna can only sell singles and that’s just what it is.
beyonce never won album of the year either dummy. taylor swift beat her kiii
#NavyTroll.
Totes hilaire! When it suits the Navy they wanna inflate her numbers and say she’s bigger than all the black girls but as soon we put her numbers next to a real bad m*********** like Adele or Taylor they wanna talk about some ‘oh she’s the biggest black singer so what does it matter’.
Janet sold just as much as the white singers in her time. Beyonce sold just as much as the white singers when she was hot and Ciara actually used to sell more than most of the pop girls during EVL. The only time Rihanna can win is when you compare her to people like Rita, or Ciara, or Keyshia or Keri.
If she’s such a boss b**** compare her to the other boss b******.
SHE IS BIGGER THAN BEYONCE NAD XTINA.
I’m glad you knew better than to say Taylor.
WELL, SHE IS BIGGER THAN TAYLOR TOO, Taylor will not last 7 years at the top EVEN shania Twain murders taylor and call me when TAYLOR CAN DO WHAT GARTH BROOKS DONE AND SOLD 100 MILLION ALBUMS. If ya wanna talk country.
Beyonce? Ciara?
Beyonces HIGHEST SELLING album DIL sold 4.8M in America, and PROBABLY 9M WW(sales were inflated to 11M but I need to see receipts. I am not afraid to admit I’m wrong)
IASF and Bday both sold 3M I’m America and 7 and 6M WW.
4 sold 1.3M in America and 2.6(?) WW. She NEVER sold as much as her white counterparts. Even Alicia’s debut album outsold hers.
CIARA?? HA! She is a local, trash artist who’s debut sold 2.6M in America, and her sophomore album sold 1.3M. Her stans try to say that those two albums sold 10M WW which is IMPOSSIBLE because she is LOCAL!
Rihanna is a WW artist! The bulk of her sales don’t come from America, and who cares because shes doing what Ciara WANTED to do(slaying internationally)
MOTS – 1.5M WW
AGLM – 3M WW
GGGB – 9M WW(according to CHARTNEWS)
RATED R – 3.5M WW
LOUD – 6M WW
TTT – 3.4M WW
UNA – 2.6M WW(in 4 months)
Soooo what was that again?!
4 only dols 2.1 that is what wikpedia has offically recoded.
The Wiki numbers are a little outdated. I think 2.5 is safe
This ho really said Rihanna is bigger than Taylor? Is that why Red sold more in a month in the US than Loud sold in three years honey?
I am sticking with 2.1. BEYONCE recording career is over. She might as well be a vegas act.
I see the Titanic girls still can’t name five Riri number one singles that she wrote. Kiiii.
Why are you pressed boo? Rih has AWESOME songwriters. Stay mad. 🙂
Answer the question. List five number ones that she wrote. Better yet, name three.
Apart from you….who gives a s*** what she writes or not?
name a 5 smash global hits that a singer under 25 has written ?
Poker Face. Just Dance. Born This Way. Bad Romance. Love Game.
Say My Name. Bills Bills Bills. Crazy In Love. Naughty Girl. Independent Women. Dejavu.
And don’t say DC doesn’t count because it’s like the Beyonce in DC and the solo Beyonce are two different people.
beyonce did not write say my name or bills bills, that was kandi drom real housewives fo atlanta. NAUGHT GIRL WAS NOT A WW SMASH HIT. I have never even heard it.
GAGA does write her songs. She has done well. Wish her the best in 2013, hopefully the general public have not been put off by all the crazy antics.
Did I see someone say Loud has 5.7 million copies? When that s*** has even sold 1.8 in the US? The f****** inflation.
It has sold 6 million WW. Those numbers are old. You see, when you get platinum/gold certifications in damn near every country in the world, the numbers tend to add up. 🙂

How does it feel that lana del eay flopped in her own country? I am gladded that her SNL debut destroyed her career in the USA. SHE deserved that. RIH does well when she sings on SNL, cos unlike Lana she has real lips and talent. No wonder Lana had to run from the usa and live in the UK.
Hate to be a s*** stirrer girls but when are the navy gonna follow the requests to name 5 number ones she wrote? I’ve got work in a half hour and need to see this s***.
You’ll be waiting forever.
rita whora does not write any songs, she uses Rih’s songwriters. ONLY SHE DOES NOT SELL LIKE RIH. LOL LOL Did u know rita whora’s album came out in the USA this week? I will be watching the charts.
I see the uneducated Navy coming for Frank and Elijah so Imma just observe. Cos if i was to say what I really wanna say these soulless pop stans wouldn’t know what to do with themselves.
I’m educated for stating the truth? Chile boo. NEXT!
Uneducated
An Alicia stan is talking about being soulless when her fav is out here stealing husbands.
I won’t even dignify that with a direct response. You’re cheap.
The Hive is tryna start a Navy/Hive stan war as usual! I’m honestly OVER IT! It’s the same s*** everyday. It’s starting to bore me now. My first post on this site was an argument with a Hive member!!! And I can’t with all the Hives hiding behind Taylor, Adele and Nicki display names! STAY PRESSED AND CHOKE ON FAIRY DUST QUEENS!
That’s what you want to believe because all of the girls have clocked your expired tea. There are no trolls in this b**** today because I’m on here everyday and recognise all my TGJ sisters so fall the f*** back and list the number ones Rihanna wrote.
Drag ha.
Clocked.
I’m sure you can look thru all 7 of Rihannas album booklets since you’re so PRESSED sis.
And like I said WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH RIHANNA BEING THE BIGGEST ARTIST AT DEF JAM?
None of you queens have proved me wrong. Rihanna could EASILY stamp her name onto writing credits like other artists babe. You have TOTALLY gotten away from the topic at hand dumb ass.
RIHANNA IS THE BIGGEST ACT OF DEF JAM. Elijah who? Frank what?
Oh and BTW: I’ve SEEN hive members on NeYo posts calling him gay, ugly a flop etc. that’s what you call respect? F*** outta here queen.
STFU! You r always on Beyonce post starting s***. The Hive don’t need to hide behind anybody to come for rihanna
You are a mother f****** LIE bulldyke. Didn’t I dismiss you a few posts ago? You no longer exist to me.
You dismiss ME? 🙂 Didn’t I handle every lie you told on a Beyonce post? B**** i’m not scared of you. You Rihtardeds are only good for buying singles and worshiping that s*** Rihanna.
I remember all the lies you told to make Rihanna look better. Try again.
B**** I have never lied nor stretched info to make Rihanna look better. You are REACHING! I do not camp out at Beyonce posts. I do not go on posts about OTHER ARTISTS and bring up Beyonce like your dykefagdragqueen Hoodhives do to Rihanna. So like I said DENSE D***….. You….Are…..DISMISSED!
LMAO this b**** is so pressed that she SEARCHED me. And copied and pasted! Awwwww! SHOW ME MORE THAT AREN’T FROM THE SAME OL H&M post!!! And B**** was I the first person in there talking about Rihanna? DOUBT IT D***!!
Like I said: I do NOT camp out at Beyonce posts nor do I bring Beyonce into s*** that doesn’t involve her!!!

Lol why does a #1 album matter? If all SEVEN of her albums debuted at #1 it would matter if they FLOPPED! S*** Chrisette Michelle had a #1 album over Ciara and she still didn’t sell 300k!
HOW MANY PLATINUM PLAQUES DOES RIH HAVE! OH OK KIIIIIIII

#1 SINGLES BOO!!!!
A #1 single (on the hot 100) can’t flop but a #1 album can!
So at the end of the day #1 single >>>> #1 album which ends up FLOPPING in the long run (trey songz, chrisette Michelle, t-pain etc etc)

Just like Beyonce modeled her career after J. Lo?!?!
AAAAND she paid us blacks DUST by saying that she wishes that she were Latina! Awwwww poordat
NAVY SAILOR!!!
March 21, 2013 at 10:36 am
Gurl she didn’t have to state what’s already KNOWN. Her entire DIL era image came from J Lo. Honey everyone knows that J Lo was the original Beyonce with less vocal talent.
And b**** my best friend is a black Colombian so YES I know about BLACK LATINAS. I know that the bulk of slaves were dropped off on Latin America & the Caribbean (esp PR & DR). But WHAT does that have to do with what Beyonce said?
She is a BLACK WOMAN who stated that this wishes that she were Latina! *flips hair and rolls eyes*

March 21, 2013 at 10:31 am
Why because her HUSBAND was trying to make Rihanna the Caribbean Beyonce until Rih decided to do whatever the F*** she wanted?
Rihanna is a black chick from a small island who has taken the R&B, REGGAE, POP, DANCE, HIP HOP and a little bit of ROCK worlds by STORM! She has her OWN sound which has made her an INTERNATIONAL POPSTAR! She can take ANY GENRE, ANY HAIR COLOR, ANY IMAGE and SMASH it!

AT THE END OF THE DAY YOUR FAVE AFRICAN AMERICAN ASS WAS SAYING THAT SHE WANTS TO BE LATINA, NOT BLACK!
Dumb and the DEANS LIST doesn’t mix boo. 3.4 GPA. What did your fave have? And don’t come at me with money figures either. Rihanna was an honors student in high school just as I was

LMAO this b**** is so pressed that she SEARCHED me. And copied and pasted! Awwwww! SHOW ME MORE THAT AREN’T FROM THE SAME OL H&M post!!! And B**** was I the first person in there talking about Rihanna? DOUBT IT D***!!
Like I said: I do NOT camp out at Beyonce posts nor do I bring Beyonce into s*** that doesn’t involve her!!! GET YO LIFE GURLFRANNN
You’re still lying b****! LMAO The navy and their lying tongue. I love how you beg for Beyonce singles over and over. 🙂 How much aliases do you have on TGJ? You sick m*********!
I don’t have to show you more of anything. I was just proving your statement of never camping on a Beyonce post to be a lie. And I did! I see your slow a*** need time to catch up.
Camping out would be the FIRST on a post honey. Like sooooo many of your Hoodhives do b****. “RIHANNA COULD NEVER” and the endless shade they throw on BEYONCES/other artists posts. Like the Navy isn’t gonna retaliate. B**** the only thing you have proven is how LATE and PRESSED you are! CHOP!
When is beyonce album goinn on pre order? JT LP was on pre order a month in advance, it is April next week. WHERE IS THE NEW SINGLE?
And What does any of these information have to do with you?
I would like to know! I thought BEYBOON was gonna end careers in 2013. WE are leaving the 1 1/ 4 and I DO NOT SEE HER ON THE CHART AND HER LITTLE ARENA TOUR CANNOT F*** WITH ONE DIRECRTION OR JB ARENA TOUR.
Agaim Why do want to know? You aren’t a fan. You dont like Beyonce. You don’t even listen to her music. So why are you interested? Btw we’re just in the 3rd month of 3013.
I was thinking of my some new singes this spring.
I wanted to buy the single. So, when is the SINGLE or album coming out? I have UNA AND 20 / 20…….
The thing is, beyonce told GQ that her LP comes out in April. But, I have just come from ITUNES and it is not on pre order and most albums are on pre orders and this includes David bowie, Rih and JT. Tyler the creator LP comes out april and it has been on pre order over a month and he is an indie act.
I find it weird that an SINGER as well known is not in pre order even though she drops in april – next week is april. Did she say a date in april?
You’re obsessed with Beyonce that’s why.
Why are people asking questions that everyone knows the answer 2? I’m not understanding? Rihanna never claimed to write anything she didn’t write herself! Why would you ask a question to stans online! Why aren’t they just saying none! She wrote none! What does that matter? B**** still has a plaque with 100 million sold! When will your fave? Whitney, Britney, etc don’t write their own s***. Rihanna has f****** green eyes! That makes her better then your fave LMAO #DEAL
“Rihanna has f****** green eyes!”
———————-
And 10 foreheads and large nostrils.
She doesn’t worth $100M! She doesn’t write, her album sales are mediocre, her touring receipts aren’t all that, she can’t keep an endorsement for more than a year and she has a 360 contract she couldn’t get out of or renegotiate despite being Def Scam biggest star.
Def Scam buys her singles and payola is for a radio spins. She made a loss on some of her tours. You know what? she can sign a $100m deal but her a*** would end of Broke after, because Def Scam will want all the revenues made her tours, endorsement and other business endeavors to get that 100M worth + profits back.
Rihanna is not broke. SHE HAS BEEN on the forbes list many times and she just copped a house in Pacific palsides for 12 mil, before that she owned homes in Loz feliz and beverly hills.
Broke was TLC AND Toni braxton . That is what u call broke. .
Nope. Only the bitter hateful black american blogs say she is on aa 360 contract, there is no evidence to suggest she is. Her contract has expired which means she is a free agent. The details of her contract are confidential by LAW, so only her, DEF JAM AND HER LAWYERS no her deal, but by her placing in the forbes list under 25, and all her real estate purchase, I would say she is very rich. Plus she makes money from movies and endorsment deals in fashion.
Also, if def jam do payola, then so does every other A list act.
Anyone can get out of any deal with a white lawyer, of which she has many. Dont be angry and bitter. She made it in life ad you and your family did not. Get mad with yourself for failin in life.
If you believe that continue on. She has the plaque for selling 100 million records tho. You can refute and make up all the scams shady business practices as you want. Rihanna is still successful, and a household name the world over. Not only that she is Black with green eyes, thus she slays your fave #DEAL
Whatever helps you sleep at night,. She is the megastar doing what she loves and you are just a broke n**** who will never be on private jets and hotel suites liker her.
YOU WILL NEVER WALK A RED CARPET OR HAVE DIAMONDS, OR WEAR HAUTE COUTURE, you will just be a BROKE AMERICAN N****.
LOL. The navy are more brain dead than I thought.
B****** saying Loud hasn’t even sold 2 million in its 3 years. Loud has sold MORE than 5 million copies worldwide. You can multiply FRAUDyonce’s un4ortunate by 2.5 and that would still not reach the number of Loud copies sold.
Kiiiiiiiii
Loud has sold MORE than 5 million copies worldwide. You can multiply FRAUDyonce’s un4ortunate by 2.5 and that would still not reach the number of Loud copies sold.
—————————-
HUH? Beyonce 4 sold 2.5 copies. 2.5 multiplied by 2.5 is 6.25. 6.25>5 🙂
How much number 1 singles did Loud have? Wasn’t it filled with generic pop tunes and it sold just 5 M copies WW?
B’day sold more than that and it was an R&B, urban Record. !ASF sold more.
It sold 6 million.
Rihanna has green eyes! When will your fave?
So?
You people are officially certifiable.
Why do hateful black americans hold on to tis myth that Rih has 360 and broke? Is that what helps them sleep at night? Aside from black blogs, Def jam, Rolling stone, billabord, Rihanna, jayz, her lawyers have not come out to declare details of her contract. I know the men who found her in Barbados have not given details either. Rih had a bidding war of every label in the USA wanted her signature ( unlike beyonce / dc who was dropped from elektra )
Where is the evidence that she is on 360? If you have a bidding war, that means in the white world that you can pick THE BEST DEAL AND HIGHEST BIDDER. She did not need def jam, she had a chance to all the labels. WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THE 360 FROM?
Poor black america.
“Rih had a bidding war of every label in the USA wanted her signature”
——————–
That is a damn lie. They were no bidding war for Rihanna. Def Scam was the one enthusiastic about signing her.
Don’t bring up Beyonce name in this. How DC got signed is no secret. It wasn’t easy ofc.
I did not say Rihanna is broke, Reading is fundamental.
Everyone knows Rihanna has a 360 deal with Def Scam. She confirmed when she sued a her accountants. Do I have to tell you what made me believed she has a 360 deal too? 6% paid after everyone got their cut. Did she ever renegotiated her deal like Gaga did? This is not a partnership. This is some slavery s***!
According to Evan Rogers and Carl Stucken, they said sent Rih’s demo to all the labels and everyone was interested but she went with DEF JAM. Beyonce did get dropped from Elektra;. Everyone? WHO? I googled this and only the hateful black glogs, namely TGJ say this. NO one else. Have you seen her contract? Where you there when she signed?
If slavery is living in 12 million dollar home at 24 / 5. Send me on the plantation.
She is rich and famous and you are poor loser, who no one outside your family cares whether u live or die.
Still here debating with me and getting personal. Like I said it was hard for DC to get a contract. It is well documented. The truth is out there. You are the one claiming Record labels label was falling over each other to sign Rihanna when that is far from the truth.
Every one is interested in signing Ashanti too – to give a her 360 contract! That is nothing to boost about.
I don’t have to see the contract, Rihanna admitted to getting only 6% and her some of her tours bringing losses. Yes 6% is slavery s***! With all her expenses 6% is not enough to maintain her lifestyle! Thank you for reminding me Rihanna has a mortgage of $12M to pay as well any high profile celebrity can get mortgages like those.
TLC sold 40M albums, had sold out tour and still went broke and alot of those RICH celebrities end up being homeless. I wonder how does that happen?
Why are Beyonce fans called the dumbs ones? You Rihanna fans lack logic and can’t construct a proper argument for topic like this one. All you are saying is Rihanna has a mansion blah, blah blah, that does not mean she can’t go broke or lost her home.
You’re stupid. I give up.
I need to change my gravi pic I left the Hive some months ago around the inauguration… Thats when I started noticing that age, CreoleCRACKS chile! Lawdddd!
I’m joking but serious. I still love Beyonce! But Rihanna is striking and her songs I like much more! Bey is the better performer, Rihanna has the better songs. So now I prefer Rih. And…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Rihanna has green f****** eyes! Your fave can never!!!
NO matter what…she got her big break in life and made it. She is living her dreams. She is the one with millions, youth , beauty, s** appeal, adoring fans who chase her and wait outside the hotel. She gets to fly on G5 private jet; she gets to go on yachts in St tropez – paid for by def jam, she get free cloths from Givenchy and tom ford, she gets paid millions, she is the one who the paps take pcitures of, she graces covers all over the world. She has access to the richest and hottest men in the world.
She get to live where she wants in mansion in LA and take care of her fam. You, DONT! YOU….are a matted, ratted broke N**** WHO WILL NEVER EVER LIVE THAT LIFESTYLE. EVER.
@kelly b**** Y U MAD? 😀
Not mad. I just hate to see b****** wearing their ignorance like a badge of honor.
Loud > un4tunate
D.E.A.L.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breaking news! Beyonce new album IS CALLED MRS CARTER AND WAS MEANT TO COME ON 16TH APRIL .IT HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO FALL due to negative reaction to Bow down – the 1st single.
EYONCE’S ALBUM IS PUSHED BACK
Beyonce’s upcoming fifth album has been pushed back until fall.
The ‘Mrs Carter’ album was due out on 16 April. But the two promotional songs that were released — “Bow Down” and “I Been On” have flopped. A source from Sony has said, “No one thought that both records would fall flat. They were supposed to be her biggest two songs off the album.”
The source says that Beyonce has gone back to the drawing board and will not release a single or an album before she goes on tour next month. The insider said, “It’s back to the drawing board. More promo songs will be released, until she gets a hit song that everyone will embrace.”
No official word from Beyonce’s camp, but her fifth album — entitled ‘Mrs Carter’ will not be hitting stores this April.
