Another day, another Rihanna controversy.
Yes, it would seem that no matter how hard she tries, Ms . Fenty can’t go a day without offending somebody.
For, after being labelled a disgrace by the Rape Crisis Center , a bad role model by Rebecca Ferguson and a goat herder’s worst nightmare by ThatGrapeJuice.Net , today saw the performer’s creative efforts endure yet another pimp slap.
Her video for the single ‘We Found Love‘ has been banned in France.
Find out why below…
While some sects of her’Navy’ will use this to support their belief that she is this generation’s Madonna, it should be noted that the controversies Ms. Ciccone faced came from the public’s inability (at the time) to deal with the issues she confronted in both her music and videos.
Racial inequality in ‘Like A Prayer‘ and abortion in ‘Papa Don’t Preach‘.
When Rihanna came under fire for ‘Man Down‘s visual, we here at TGJ HQ were more than happy to fight her corner as that video had a clear and meaningful message behind it.
However, as this ban is for ‘We Found Love‘, we have no choice but to tip our berets in agreement at the legislators who came to this decision.
For the misogynist imagery, glorification of self destruction and mindless stupidity exhibited in the clip are almost as unpalatable as the performer’s live singing voice.
Here’s to hoping future releases from her ‘Talk That Talk‘ album see her deliver videos ,which like ‘Unfaithful‘ and ‘Love The Way You Lie‘, are thought provoking without being offensive, groundbreaking and not unnecessarily provocative.
Oh geesh….poor rihhana started off with a great year its not ending so well…I still love the song tho!!
Old news
Why is it that this site always post the negative stuff about rihanna, and not the positive.
Rihanna still slaying your fav’s 🙂

Gotta give it to Samatha tho no goddamn holiday and slow her hate game down!!
THAT RIHANNA REIGN JUST WONT LET UP!!!!
@WHUT
Black madonna? yeah okay what your delusional ass thinks
I’ll admit that sometimes TGJ goes in a little hard on Rihanna but to Rihanna and her “Navy” in the words of Kelly Rowland “This room is filled with a lot of people with their own opinions and if you can’t take the heat, then baby you need to get out of the kitchen!”
TGJ is entitled to their own opinion and for the most part they’re only speaking the truth; something that this industry choses to ignore. At the end of the day, if you don’t like what TGJ has to say about certain artist, then stay off this site and go to
toyazworld and post your love for her there!
And yet WFL has been #1 on the french SINGLE charts for 5 weeks.
TTT is expected to debut #1 on the french ALBUM chart this week.
0 promo & 0 video over there.
ONLY RIHANNA!
WORLDWIDE ICON >>>>>> local wannabe

Rihanna wants to `emulate` Madonna
‘Rihanna’s dancers had found out all the details of Madonna’s favourite dance moves and her dancers’ routines at Pineapple from when they rehearsed there two months ago in an audition for Madonna’s next live tour.
‘Rihanna loves Madonna’s shows and wants to emulate the old-school formula,’ a source told British newspaper The Mirror.
the superstar is looking to one of her musical icons for inspiration for her up-coming appearances.
This is take inspirations not copying what others have done before.
L.O.V. Rihanna.

@RICHANDBLACK11(JUST LIKE BEY)
i live in Lyon
Ya’ll so busy being in Rihanna’s ass and posting on the dumbest s*** that you can’t even keep up with the non music blogs about music. SMH. I’m thinking of not coming back here. :/
She had it coming.
In France, you can find n*** breats on campaign posters on the streets.
An artist has to push the enveloppe very, very, very far to get banned.
@BEUD YOU HAVE LEFT ME DEVASTED!!!! Samatha CANNOT be a LIAR in this!! Gurl imma need to see PASSPORT from you cause I REFUSE to believe SAMANTHA would fabricate this story!!! SHE IS NOT THAT TYPE OF GIRL!!!
why bringing UP madonna ?! that b**** is on a high level ! it takes 100 light years from rihanna to get there ! but my girl is working hard to get there and madonna LOVE her !! she knows she’s this generation’s madonna ! no OTHER !
anyway , i’m a lil bit surprised that the ppl who created the ” FRENCH KISS” got offended by rihanna !!
but as they say :
BAN VID , ppl will do whatever it takes to watch it and that will be GOOD ! i guess beyonce said that before and i do realize her point of view !!
and it is too late to ban it already , everyone watched it 😆 !
but i do agree , the vid has a lot of things going ON ! too much for french ppl to handle 😆 ! they only handle their ” french kisses” !! SMH !
@WHUT Sorry
So believe in what u want,,sure the clip is rated (-10) like S&M
tune on chanels: W9, DirectStat, NRJ-hits,, u’ll see everytime…
So i see, each morning before go to school they play it
We’re in France Baby ….
Yeah like we haven’t seen worse in movies. A video gets banned. But thousands of movies slip by in prime time. With much more raunchier topics.
Omg so you a REAL FRENCH PERSON is saying it wasn’t…………..BANNED?!?!
Omg so you a REAL FRENCH PERSON is suggesting Samantha is……………….REACHING?!?!
Omg so you a REAL FRENCH PERSON is CONFIRMING Samantha is………………….a two-bit trifling-ass messy hatefilled dirt queen?!?!
Imma need a good min to process this BEUD gurl!!! You have ROCKED MY WORLD!!!
@whut :
I KNEW french ppl won’t be that stupid !!
now that’s how the navy ROLL !!
#NAVYSTRIKE !!!
Proud to be french! lol
i dont see what the big deal is about it. I mean if they wanted to ban something S&M would’ve been more appropriate. it was her worst video.
@Kerry Johnson
But he/ she fave does have a #1 album 🙂
lmao, We found love video is groud breaking and I do not know why the French cannot appreciate the video and song. There is nothing offensive about this video at all. I actually cannot believe a country that was leading in art house films and promotes racy high fashion designs and stick thin models has a problem. Oh well I hope they play Beyonce’s latest, Let Rihanna go on Le Grand Journal and explain the video concept.
US is all that matters!
Hahahah 😀 they should ban her from all over the world!!
Who cares? Rihanna was #1 in France with We Found Love.. I’m French, I know what I’m talking ’bout. Y’all just haters, thank you, because hate means obsession and love… You all love Rihanna. Pathetic folk here.
