Teairra Marí To Rihanna: "Keep My Name Out Your Mouth, Sweetie"

Published: Wednesday 27th Aug 2008 by Sam
Teairra Marí To Rihanna: 'Keep My Name Out Your Mouth, Sweetie'   Teairra Marí recently spoke to KING magazine about former label-mate Rihanna’s comments about her last year. Check out an excerpt from Marí’s feature below:

Teairra took offense to some comments Rihanna made to Atlanta’s Peach magazine regarding her dismissal from the Roc. Rihanna said, “You have to be good to people. I could very easily say its all karma…”

“They asked her how she felt playing second fiddle to me, which I never felt [she was]. She had the number-one song in the country on Hot 100; I didn’t, so she couldn’t be playing second fiddle to me. When I heard that I was upset, like, ‘Why would she ever go there? Keep my name out your mouth, sweetie.” {Source}

Ouch. I can’t say I disagree with her…

Your thoughts?

    Oh I read a lot more about Teairra Mari when they came out… it just happened that Rihanna’s hits were bigger. Rihanna seemed like a one-hit wonder that got lucky with her first hit, and then even luckier with her second hit. Teairra seemed like someone they were putting a lot of money in, even with No Daddy.

    Teairra Mari needs to go sit down somewhere she should be lucky to get press from Rihanna. No one knows who she is. Teairra Mari was labeled the princess of the Roc when she was signed and Rihanna did play second fiddle. If you can recall “Pon De Replay” was put out when the Reggae/ Dancehall / Sean Paul on every track emerged. Go back to the video and the only real cameo Rihanna had in her video was the then unknown Kardinal Offishal. Teairra Mari had all the big wigs in her video and obviously had the bigger budget. However Rihanna ended up being the bigger star in the end. Also based on Teairra Mari’s response Rihanna is righ…..karma is a b****

    Tierra dont take her lil 5 foot 2 ass rihanna squash her…..honey see i was starting like tierra but for me she has always had this diva im a bad b**** attitude and it aint cute…..and we all know def jam liked tierra more than rihanna until they realized people liked rihanna more than tierra………..anywhooo

  4. tia August 27, 2008

    oh here we go,the rihanna stans are ready to aim and fire……i agree with t.mari,Rihanna should of kept it even more simple by not even responding the way she did…..people act like t.mari just went on a rampage…NO! she heard something said about her and addressed it because if anybody has anything to say about me on some slick s*** imma address that s*** too….

    my only problem with this situation is that this was said last year so t.mari shouldnt have brought it up…unless of course she was asked about it.

    Please all you Rihanna stans be quiet Teairra can say what the hell she wants the way Rihanna quick to keep talking about Bey and Jay in interviews for attention. And don’t nobody give a damn about Rihanna military training Teairra from the hood baby. I gurantee she’ll have something for that @ss 5 foot 2 or not.

    Hahahaha, this is stupid controversy they’re trying to start to make a few dollars.

  7. Anonymous August 27, 2008

    LMAO!! I agree with all the first posters.

    Rihanna did play second fiddle, Teairra is stupid. Can’t believe she’s still feeling herself up when she’s a certified flop and Rihanna is a huge star.

    Karma is a b****, now sit down and take it sweetie.

    i used to go to school with teairra and she was not a nice person, she sticks her nose up at people sometimes and she knows she is stuck up, she better not deny that, i knew she wouldn’t be successful by her personality and the way she treats people, so rihanna is truly right

  12. Anonymous August 27, 2008

    why is she still on this, as i remember she was the first lady of Rockafella she got way more promotion than rihanna when she came out. so why hate now

    I hope Teairra beat Rihanna’s ass. I would pay good money to see that..

  16. Anonymous August 28, 2008

    The Hypocrite Rihanna said that she wasn’t dropped like Teairra ’cause of karma, when she was about to get dropped just like her! I guess that Rihanna with karma she meant LUCK!

    And to those who think Teairra play first fiddle just because she had cameos on her videos, I think the answer is simple: Rihanna got the international hit (Pon De Replay) when Teairra got the urban song US-only (Make Her Feel Good). So they need to put cameos on her videos trying to increase the Teairra popularity till Rihanna’s level.

    Teairra Mari, WHO???

  18. Anonymous August 28, 2008

    Huge Star? Yawhhh That’s right! That’s why Rihanna is officially “broke” right now :).

    Having 750k $ (what she had before) isnt even much for a celebrity singer.

  19. Anonymous August 28, 2008

    HOW did Rihanna play second fiddle when she had nothing but #1 HITS and much bigger hits than Teairra in the first place? Come on!

    And why should Teairra SHUT UP when SHE IS NOT THE ONE WHO STARTED BEEF? Please! It’s always those who aren’t being dissed who talk about “moving on”.

    Rihanna KNEW what she was doing.

  20. Anonymous August 28, 2008

    Sometimes first fiddle doesn’t always mean most succesful… I know this is an extreme example, but look at these first singles:
    Work It Out – Beyonce
    Stole – Kelly Rowland

    Would anyone say that Kelly Rowland must’ve been first fiddle because she got the top 10 pop hit? Nope, people just wanted to hear something from Kelly at the time and didn’t want Beyonce. You know that Mr. Knowles did everything he could to make Work It Out a hit, it just flopped.

  21. Shane August 28, 2008

    Uhh, alright.

    Last time I checked, nobody knows who this piece of trash is and everyone is familiar with RiRi. Not to mention the girl is tied for the most #1s this decade. I don’t even think Ms. Mar has made it to ANY chart period.

    So at the end of the day, whose word REALLY matters?

  22. Anonymous August 28, 2008

    A bit too patronosing Tierra,Callimg rihalien SWEETIE.
    LITTLE DOES RIHALIEN KNOW KARMA GETS EVERYONE AT A POINT IN LIFE AND IT WONT BE DIFFERENT FOR HER……..

  23. Anonymous August 28, 2008

    Would anyone say that Kelly Rowland must’ve been first fiddle because she got the top 10 pop hit? Nope

    LOL! “Work It Out vs Stole” was the EXCEPTION to the rule that said (since 1998) that Kelly has ALWAYS played second fiddle and ALWAYS will. They were already known and people knew who was first and who was second. When Teairra and Rihanna came out, they came out at the same time. Rihanna was equally promoted if not more, she was everywhere. Jigga took pics with her all the time, or with him and Bee. She’s ALWAYS had the bigger hits, never did Teairra, there wasn’t even one exception like Kelly.

  24. Serean August 28, 2008

    I like Rihanna and all but she is so full of herself! There was no karma involved! She was gonna get dropped 2 but cuz od constant begging over it, she got to stay and ya Rihanna got the #1 hit and Tierra got da cameos but dats cuz dey liked Ms.T better n thought she had da bigger hit! Wen it comes down 2 it, Rih did lay 2nd fiddle but only cuz dey liked Tierra better. Tierra has da right 2 speak her mind after Rihanna says somethin like dat n shes completely right (sorry Rihanna) and bout karma? RiRi, cuz of u tinkin ur better then everyone else (sayin dat no ones in her league n she has no competition), n for startin wit Tierra n bringin drama wenever she opens her mouth, Rihanna is now broke! U said it urself Rih n karma is a b****.

    WTF? YA’LL TRIPPIN, AIN’T NUTHIN’ WRONG WITH THE COMMENT SHE MADE, I WOULD HAVE SAID THE SAME S***, WHAT DID SHE DO TO RIHANNA? NOT S***, SO WHERE IS RIHANNA COMIN’ FROM WITH THIS KARMA S***? ONLY THING I WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY IS TELL RIHANNA DIRECTLY TO HER FACE TO KEEP MY NAME OUT HER MOUTH

    AND I DON’T GIVE A F*** ABOUT RIHANNA MILITARY TRAINING, TIERRA IS FROM DETROIT BABY SO SHE GOTTA HAVE SOME GANGSTA IN HER SOMEWHERE

    Wow Rihanna fans calm down! I have to agree with T. Mari. Every interview I have seen or read about her she is getting asked questions about Rihanna, she never brings her up. And everytime she says something positive about her, Rihanna should have had that same respect

  28. peach August 28, 2008

    Rhianna career will soon take a nose dive because home girl has no stage presence at all. she better hope chris brown keep helping her out will hot singles because she is terrible singing live and even worse when she tries to dance.

  29. Anonymous August 28, 2008

    lmao the best thing people can do to knock beyonce down is to bring up work it out. There isn’t such thing as an artist that has #1 hits every single time. Leave it to a Rihanna stan! The same stans that are too blind to see that bringing up Teairra and talking about some karma s*** was unnecessary. Rihanna could s*** in someone’s mouth and a rihanna stan would find some way to justify it. “She had to take a dump somewhere.”

  30. Nick August 28, 2008

    I aint gna lie Tierra marie 1st cd (ONLY cd) was hottt, but hse tryin 2 stir up drama 4 no reason now, LET IT GO boo boo/Rihanna whipped tht a$$ !!! 🙂

    everyone keep talking about rihanna broke base on the story on blogs. no one can prove where it came from. No reputable news media run the story only gossip blogs. does anyone have a valid source? their was a mgmt company name mention in the story and I cannot find no information on that mgmt company.also I don’t think Rihanna mgr. is black or male all of the ppl around rihanna are white ppl. so until i get proof I will not believe the story.. the thing with blogs no one check stories they just repeat it. that is why I like concreteloop, because they don’t put out stories until they get it correct even if they are the last to post the story. dam as bad as mediafakeout is they did not even run the story.

    LOL!!! That’s why RhiYawna is BROKE!!!! That’s some Karma for you. She so dumb. Keep spurlging and getting ripped of Rhi Rhi. I actually like Teairra better. Hell Rhi Rhi can’t even get a gold album. Single hits only. LOL!!!! SO ready for Beyonce to come back and put a smile back on everyone’s face. This garbage has to stop. At least Solange is bringing it nowadays. Love her album

  35. Sunshyne August 29, 2008

    I like both girls and wish them both the best, but…

    When Rihanna spoke about karma, she was referring to Teairra's stank attitude

    What goes around comes around and when you treat ppl bad that will come back to you

    Teairra was feeling herself too much and her cookie crumbled, but of course she wont admit to that and would turn it all around and try to make Rihanna look like the bad person

    It's not even about who was more popular, but how you treat others will take you a long way

    & cadets is like rotc, not military lol

  36. Sunshyne August 29, 2008

    teairra sounds like she is still bitter, when she just needs to forget about the past and focus on her future

    everything happens for a reason and if it was meant for her to be on the roc then she would still be there, but that is not the path for her

    she needs to let it go, cuz all that animosity is not cute

    i like both girls too both r very talented but u have to b real and say rihanna was treated like trash!!! tearri might not have the top singles but she was name princess of the roc!!! that should speak for it’s self!!!! even now with all riri success she still didnt get a proper title but jay is giving her her props!!! and for the girl who said rihanna didnt get a gold album she did one her first one her second album was Platinum and her third album was double platinum so there…. also rihanna not broke!!!! plus she has chris brown!!! lol

  39. Jai August 29, 2008

    Note to Robyn: Juggling balls in your mouth is not considered “being good to people”. And for her to speak on Teairra like that was very out of line. Because we could definitely bring up her s***** ass track record BEFORE this “Good Girl Gone Bad” s*** took off. Nobody gave a f*** about her, and she should really watch what she says to people. And I’ve heard she’s rude to fans and I see how she acts towards people, so she better watch herself before karma comes to get her ass. . . I can see it coming now. Do like Teairra said and keep her name out your damn mouth Robyn. SMH I wanna know who the dumbass is that’s responsible for allowing Rihanna to give ANY kind of commentary on how Teairra was let go from the label. And ANOTHER thing, Rihanna is not even on ROCAFELLA. That b**** is on DEF FAM, so she definitely shouldn’t be running her mouth. Okay, I’m done. SMH

  44. tif March 13, 2010

    if rihanna said she was not nice to ppl, it has to be true. why would rhi put something like that out there if it wasn’t true. and tm did not even deny it. maybe she’s not a nice person. im not even a fan of either of them really and it seems like rhi is a nicer person than TM.
