“Sweeter than a rice cake…”

For any who doesn’t consider themselves a Rihanna fan, the name ‘Melissa Forde’  may not ring any bells at all.

However, any who do will know that Ms. Forde has served as the Fenty’s full time shadow since her debut in 2005, and has reportedly known the model since childhood.

Now, in the heat of the well publicized love triangle between Rihanna, Chris Brown and socialite Karrueche Tran, Forde has launched a vicious attack on the latter- confirming that a derogatory nickname fans believed she had coined for Tran months ago was indeed aimed at her.

Shocking tweets below….

In response to Tweets directed at her by Karrueche’s fans, Forde shared:

“Every single one of y’all bitchez are soo f**cking dumb and obviously have nothing better to do. But lets be VERYYY clear about one thing, nobody gives a rats a** about whatever the f**k her name is….. so be careful how you talk about my BFFF!! A n***a will always do what [HE] wants!!

Then speaking to Tran directly:

“I get that you don’t like my Bfff and trust you don’t have to cause the one thing you not liking us will do is stop anything from moving forward!!”

“You can be rice cake’s friend, I don’t give a f**k, but keep up all this disrespectful talk and while your fake profile having azz is typing on instagram MEE Melissa T Forde will be the one knocking on your door asking you to come talk face to face! #Spacebarbitchezzzz…”

In response to her pal’s rant, Rihanna then tweeted:

Melissa T Fooooorde! Stop it!!!

Maybe, just maybe, if these characters spent more time perfecting whatever crafts they profess to have and less time on Instagram, embarrassments like these could be avoided.

Seriously, though we’re sure Rihanna was all too happy to have her shadow to do the dirty work for her, this mess with Brown is doing her no favors at all.

For, whichever way one looks at it, it’s Rihanna and not Karrueche who seems desperate- fighting over a man who A. physically assaulted her and B. is still spending time with the very woman she is fighting over him with.

What happened to class? What happened to handling one’s business outside of the public eye? Questions, tabloid hungry cats like Riri forget to ask themselves when “Instragramming” their credibility as serious musicians away.

Your thoughts?
