Rihanna hasnt made no influence in music. Lemme refresh YOUR memory.. Kelis cut her hair in “BOSSY” music video in 2006, which is 3 years ago. A year later, Rihanna cuts her hair, starts to dress like Kelis, and trying to look like her.
The point is Kelis stated that she was paying homage to Salt n’Pepa but with her own twist callin it “Salt n’ Pepa 2010″. Rihanna just straight up copied Kelis’ style and not even giving her credit. Kelis made a bigger impact than Rihanna because if it wasn’t for Kelis, Rihanna would still be biting Beyonce.

ts funny how people acting like Kelis is irrelevant. Friendly reminder, Kelis is much more relevant and much more respected than your fave Rihanna.

Kelis has worked with some of the GREATEST in music:

Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Moby, P. Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Enrique Iglesias, Bjork, Richard X, Dionne Warwick, Annie Lennox, Basement Jaxx, N.O.R.E., Foxy Brown, Guru, Lil’ Kim, Andre 3000, Cee-Lo, Timo Maas, Chamillionaire, Raphael Saadiq, Wyclef Jean, Guy Chambers and many others.

Not many BLACK artists can say they worked with icons like Bjork, Moby or Annie Lennox and toured with U2, Britney Spears and Coldplay.

Rihanna cant come close to Kelis’ sense of style…NEVER!
All Rihanna is good for is copying, she’ll never be as original as kelis nor as fly as Kelis. Rihanna is a wannabe hard chick, a poser, a gimmick. Kelis doesnt take that ***** seriously because she know Rihanna is a joke.
