Rihanna’s ‘ANTI’ may not have fared as well as she may have liked it to, but that’s done all of nothing to disturb sales of her fruitful relationship with PUMA.
How so?
Fantastic news below….
Her FENTY X PUMA velvet creepers went on sale at 10 a.m yesterday.
By 11.20, they were sold out.
Billy Walsh, the brains behind the operation, learned of the news after he and Fenty picked up the ‘Shoe of the Year’ award at the FN Achievement Awards.
Puma CEO Bjørn Gulden had this to say about Rihanna’s relationship with the company:
Signing Rihanna is a fantastic step for Puma.Her global profile, her charisma and individuality, her ambition – all these things make her a perfect ambassador for our brand. With a strong portfolio in football, running and motorsport, finding an inspiring partner for women’s training was very important. Rihanna was a natural choice for us. We’re delighted to have her as a partner, and we’re looking forward to what’s to come.
Exciting times!
Her latest batch of good news arrived after she learned that the aforementioned ‘ANTI’ had picked up eight grammy nominations.

Everybody needs to get a f****** job and progress if they are able body and for the one’s who aren’t I understand. Have a seat /_ /_ /_

Contact me ASAP
If only her music and tour tickets sold out that fast
aint nobody interested in beand Rihanna that’s why ANTI FLOPPED!
.
and for this case, the were intetested in Puma first then “Rihanna name” secondly
WRONG! Rihanna is the reason for the Creepers CRAZY success. How’s Ivy Park doing?
Bitter because when beyonce tries her hand at fashion it always flops hard?
Dereon anyone?
This is beautiful, what is that…velvet? lol #FENTYxPUMA
she can sell everything else but her music
.
the h** got outsold by Basic Bieber in the US this year
.
how embarrassing! !!
.
considering that his album came out last year
Lol yeah, you’re bitter because ivy park is probably on the Walmart clearance rack now.
But yet she was manage to sell it to Samsung for 25 million dollars
B**** stfu and go find house of fuckeon and congratulate not hate you always coming for rih you a tired dry p**** idiot
WRONG! Purpose sold 540K
Lol and bey can sell only her music. And barely that. While she is busy purchasing her next granny and or magazine slots; Rih is working all of the industries. Effortlessly at that. Yet the charts never seem to hold her in place beyond a week. Rih sells all of it and it’s proven! Multiple platinum plaques boo. While your fave is an everyday proof of crap music sold by propaganda and gimmicks. Now riddle me this. Where is any of lemonades songs on the charts? Is it a:no where b no where or c somewhere.
Rihanna is so pretty. With that said, fashion is synonymous with her petty, pressed, spineless, back peddling ass. Congrats girl.
so can you explain why beyonce always fails at fashion?
Is this a Beyonce or a Rihanna post? Ok, so stay on topic bish ?
where is her name on that shoe?
her name is on the check from the sales bug. where’s ivy park? at the swap meet?
Girl give it up beyonce will never win when it comes to fashion rih can give up music and be successfully in other areas how long can bey pop her p**** on stage really b**** leave rih alone and ask yourself why rih made more money than your queen last year
gowns , beautiful gowns, that’s all!
22 days left until 2016 dies and FlopTI is still stuck around 583,000 thousands copies sold
.
not the 600,000 that istan4falseReceipts keep using
lol cleary pressed, leaving multiple comments. b*** still hurt from the epic dragging your fave got all week for buying her awards?
SEETHE
Anti is doing well still in the top 30 and LOTB is moving up the charts. Stop hating on success and create your own.
the fug do you know about success with a gravatar that looks like the 3rd generation of failure species in your ratchet family
.
move over muppet!!!
Child stop it bad built b****.
So tough fat finger b****, old ass phone couldn’t caps anything. Long back b****.
I’m done ✌
the bugs dont know anything about success, theyre not that smart lol.
Girl please don’t mention smart and proceed to write such a thing.
Long feet punk. I’m done ✌
I’m waiting for that ugly ‘east african girl’ to pop up
.
while she should be worried about how Hunger is her daily chore , dusty a$s bxtch living in refuge camps in the bushes with no water nearby
.
I triple dare that hooooooooo now!!!!!
shouldnt you be worried about that fraud in your avi getting dragged again?
I give it two more years before she retires from music to become a full-time designer.
.
She’s a part-time singer and budding full-time shoe and sock designer.
.
#DesignerAnna.
#ShoesSellOutWithinHoursAnna.
you know your pressed over Queen Rihanna when you leave multiple pressed comments all over her post lmao.
Lol yasss read that South African beast
“CAREER ENDER” needs to pick up a hobby!! Rihanna gave Samsung 1 million copies for $25 million and still sold close to 600,000, which puts her sales at 1.6 million. Say what you want, buy she got paid. I don’t recall anyone else getting that deal. Anti isn’t anywhere near a flop, all those sells count and any artist would of taken that deal. You know Anti would have sold over a million without Samsung!! She had a #1 single, 2 top tens, and 2 top thirty singles this year.
Thank you for breaking that down for them. She got paid 25 million to produce an album and tour for it and still came up on it. While bey gets her mesaily coins from what she sold and the majority from her tour which did do well. But at the end of the day rihanna probably and does have the bigger pay out. Especially after she adds on all of the extra curricular activities that took place during this era!!! Lemonafes songs flopped so hard. I whole heartedly believer paid for some of those nominations.
Congrats to her because we know that those shoes are selling for her name alone. They’re ugly! How come no one has said this yet? Well, to me they are.
These are so cute!!!
Don’t like the creepers. Nothing to do with Rihanna. ?
Prefer “The trainer”
How’s house of flopion doing?
Is Solange still working as a cashier?
Queen of music and fashion bey could neva
Its sad how hateful and bitter those bugs are
How are you going tell someone there album may not have sold the amount “they” wanted it to sell as if your in her head. Secondly I’m convinced fellow blacks just are jealous of this woman because she is one of the highest paid black people. Some are commenting saying she sold less than Justin Bieber but Justin Bieber sold more than 99% of the black artist who put out an album this past year and sold more than a lot of white artist. Year after year it’s the same thing. Rihanna won’t be here for long or she is done. You would think people would get tired of trying to make their hopes and dreams for Rihanna to go away come true. I personally think this is her best album and would like her to continue in this direction. I’m going to always support her.
Those shoes are ugly as hell, but congrats nonetheless.
Queennn
Meanwhile LOTB is killing the BB100 without any type of promo! Hold Up I Ain’t Charting, Sorry For Flopping and All Night At The Bottom of The Charts are nowhere to be found!!
What about flopping lessons?
Grammys rejected it
Uhhhh no offense but those shoes look really tacky. Maybe it’s the color? I’m happy for her though seeing as they sold out so quickly. With certain celebrities their name alone will sell anything and Rihanna is one of them no doubt.
It’s such a ki how Rihanna fans can’t just be happy for Rihanna they gotta throw BEYONCÉ name up ? Y’all just be happy that for the first time she sold out within hours cause we all know she’s the Queen of fashion!
Boy please read up and you’ll see that it’s a Beyonce Stan who provoked the navy by leaving multiple comments as opposed to sticking to the topic at hand
Lmao not the first time, do your research!!
Now the bugs play victim you all are a miserable hypocritical hateful crew
Stop dead in your tracks and kill your self! The hive brings up rihanna at every corner they turn so please stop! The funny thing is im not worried about bey because I already know that her music is b******* and she ain’t nothing but a put together something like a gimmic built like a collage. She does nothing for me musically. Bur I don’t look down on her achievements. Whatever those are. But whenever rihanna achieves something you hive fans try to find a way to bring her down. Don’t waste that valuable time. Seethe over something worth seething over. Like lemonades singles dwindling on the bubbling under. Tyrone must not be getting paid enough to promote this era.
Hey Sam, David and Rashad where’s the lemonade sold millions but fails to get ivy park off the ground post?
Why would he post something false lol,Ivy Park is very successful rn. As a matter of fact it’s being added in lady Footlockers lol
yall sea swimmers aimt xit you’ll remain pressed
.
I read you all nothing but the democratic rights
.
JayZ have gotten the Samsung deal but before amd still sold platinum
So! He is married to the biggest music industry thief of them All! Shouldn’t surprise you.
Career Ender careth not about House of dereon or ivy park or whateva xit Beyonce sells
.
She’s a singer , an A+ entertainer firat and foremost. and that alone certisfies me

.

Girl shut up.
Guh u sound pressed and really disturbed. Its gon be ok suga just try and relax.
Congrats!
I will say it one more time Beyonce has nothing to do with a conversation about fashion
Congrats. The shoes are nothing short of amazing.
Tried and failed to get a pair, maybe next year
These shoes are everything! I’d give a SICKENING soho/goth look in these!
Actually, they’re not lying…I had them on my list last week to be shipped. Went back to order them and they said it was unavailable. I was going to get it as a gift for my niece. They had one left for two-hundred and dollars. I’m like now, they’re not all that. She wanted them in black, but that color is ugly. Anybody know where I can get a Dej Loaf t-shirt????? Just saying…..
Rihanna doing big things,Fashion Icon and a Music legend, turns up on ANTI??

lol why are y’all mentioning Ivy Park on a post about Rihanna’s pumas ? btw that line is the best selling at Topshop & Nordstrom rn so I don’t know who told y’all it’s flopping lol
But anyway does she only put a limited amount on the main Puma website? Cause I checked Nordstrom and there are still plenty in stock there
These b****** talk about Lemonade as if it woulda sold as 25 did. Lemonade is a flop by ANY standard.
Exactly that is why they need to shut up after allllllll that hype, controversy, super bowl, video for every song..and this so called sold out stadium tour
Not even 3 million records sold and no hits
B*****, sit.
? Still upset because anti was omitted from the albums category I see. ?
I’m not a Rihanna stan. I am just fair and honest about the fact Lemonade isn’t a big seller.
I just found out Rihanna didn’t even design these shoes? Why doesn’t she ever mention/give the guy who did design them credit?
I don’t get it lol so she just slapped her name on it?
This completely changes my view on it I mean still congrats to the success of the shoe but she’s winning awards like shoe of the year etc.. for a shoe that she didn’t contribute on is kinda wrong imo
Did Kanye even design yeezys? Smh
While Tina out here endorsing her daughter’s Ivy Park trash doing old granny push-ups and it still ain’t selling…
Career ended is so bothered he talking to hisself in this post. Poor thing
Congratulations to rihanna
