Hot Shots: Rihanna Hits Recording Studio / Weighs In On New Album Reports

As murmurs of a brand new album Rihanna intensified in the last week, the Grammy winning trendsetter was snapped on her way into a Long Beach recording studio.

Hitting the spot shortly after returning from NYC, the Pop Princesses’ sighting did everything but dispel reports she is the preliminary stages of crafting a new LP, six months after the release of ‘Unapologetic’.

However, one day after her reported studio session, she took to her personal Instagram page to weigh in on these reports, as seen below…

Whatever you say Riri!

Of course, while the more clueless of her fan base may have bought her denial, her response to today’s report seemed- at least to us- ‘false’.

For, in what has become an overlooked fact in the entire matter, it was the reputable Darkchild who first brought attention to the forthcoming release- only confirming what anyone whose followed Rihanna’s trend knows to be true.

Like seriously…are we to believe that after releasing an LP in 2010, 2011 and 2012 there are no plans to follow these up with an LP in 2013?

Then again, if the vocalist intends to turn over a new leaf and actually contribute to her next album, she may be right in saying a 2013 release date is out of the question….if you know what we mean.

Your thoughts?

    • RiRi Bad May 21, 2013

      Yaaas!!

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      The navy would have supported her whichever direction she went. It was nice to read the twitter responses. Rihanna has one of the best fan bases.

      • IDK May 21, 2013

        Aaaw, 🙂 I want me a twitter so bad but idk.

      • Music Soul Harmony May 21, 2013

        “Rihanna has one of the best fan bases”.

        @Ballsy …..

  2. RiRi Bad May 21, 2013

    No new f****** album so theirs hope for ur favs

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      Samantha can breathe a sigh of Relief now. Maybe there is hope for his fav Oldyonce but then again Gaga will be back and slaying with her Geriatric hip as well. It is that easy for your fav to be slaaayed!

  3. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) May 21, 2013

    Thank goodness!!

  4. Hive May 21, 2013

    Such a relief

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      Yes such a relief….maybe and I do mean maybe Oldyonce can get a number 1… or better yet finally release an official number 1!

      • MyPenIzFresh May 21, 2013

        Sad part is.. if we are talking about an album, ALL of Beyonce’s albums went No.1. try again… and she has 5 No.1 singles.. so your post was pointless. Thanks though.

      • Jas May 22, 2013

        The more operative question is will RihBobble ever be able to get a number 1 album after damn near 10 years in the game SMDH ????

  5. IDK May 21, 2013

    Ok Rih! 🙂 Thats whats up!

  6. Lovebird May 21, 2013

    Lol yes now you can rest Samantha, there’s hope for your fav.

  7. Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

    If Ri says false, then it’s false dammit! Just because Rodney SENT some tracks, doesn’t mean she’s releasing an album this year!

  8. My Forehead Tho May 21, 2013

    .

  9. Bey Fan May 21, 2013

    People gone stop believing these “confirmed” sources…. This woman is still touring and has at least 2 more single worthy cuts on Unapologetic

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      Is that pubic hair I see in your Avi 🙂

  10. Bey Fan May 21, 2013

    Im not gon even go in on Riri….the Navy stays trying it

    • MyPenIzFresh May 21, 2013

      real talk. I wish the best for RiRI, but let’s call a spade a spade people

  11. BeyWhoUWanna May 21, 2013

    The b**** is lying.

  12. Ballsy May 21, 2013

    lmao at all these stans sighing in relief thinking that this will mean that their fav may have a shot.. tooo phucking funny.. Watch Rihanna release that PUI video and own the summer in the clubs why slaying with a ballad called Half of Me and dear God what will they do IF Rihanna releases the motherload that is called Lost in Paradise….

    Prays for the hopefuls!

    • SIT DOWN May 21, 2013

      Boosting your fave by putting others down won’t make her a great singer, dancer, or album seller.

      She won’t be owning s*** but a spot on these 12-14 year olds playlist.

      Now sit down puppy.

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      You will remain press. Mariah will see to it too!

    • Slayty Perry (The Female MJ) May 21, 2013

      Bye. Rih isnt releasing because she knows Katy will snatch her weave again like she did in 2010 & 2011

  13. EARTH, USA May 21, 2013

    F*** YOU LOW LIFE LOSERS..

    KEEP ‘EM GUESSING RIHANNA 2014.

  14. My Forehead Tho May 21, 2013

    *In my Kevin Hart voice*

    Nooo, She wasn’t ready!

    My Gawd look at that b****** hair. It’s been about 20 hours since Beyonce’s music leaked and she’s already snatching weaves.

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      Proverbs 20:19 Bish!

  15. Prince May 21, 2013

  16. King B>Rihanna May 21, 2013

    • Bey Fan May 21, 2013

      • King B>Rihanna May 21, 2013

        I want to taste

  17. RoyalNavi May 21, 2013

    I’m confused, why did tgj photo shop that picture. She would never respond to them.

    • BrunoMartian May 21, 2013

      No boo boo it’s real.

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      Actually she reponded to a fan!

  18. King B>Rihanna May 21, 2013

    this era is not over until she releases What Now as a single.

  19. Anon May 21, 2013

    I swear I am love with this website. The irony that there are more Navi girls here than any other fan base had me rolling today at work reading the comments.

  20. cake like lady gaga May 21, 2013

    PLEASE!!!!! No one is here for some McDonalds music.. Riherpes needs to take every seat in every arena that her Diamonds Arena Tour takes her. Ciara’s new album WILL slay her if she tries to release this year.

    _/ _/ _/

    • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

      LMAO!! While Body Party BUNGEE JUMPS down the hot 100? 😆

    • Music Soul Harmony May 21, 2013

      But let’s be real. We all like McDonalds once in a while.

    • Neigh-Neigh Leakes May 21, 2013

      Lmao!
      Aren’t you the same one that was calling Rihanna “Queen Rih” and defending her more than Gaga? But now that your Navy friends came for Gaga, her name is “Riherpes” now?

  21. TurntUp4Cici May 21, 2013

    Pinocchio teas 2bh.

  22. Absolved May 21, 2013

    Whenever. Rihanna is a seriously buffoon either way.

  23. LLASAP May 21, 2013

    Rihanna replied to them? WTF!

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      she rihplied to a fan!

  24. RitasLipstick May 21, 2013

    A Ho Like Me.

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      You better start making back all that money that Roc Nation invested in you and your wack music before they drop yo behind instead of wasting your time and energy on your superior’s post!

    • Music Soul Harmony May 21, 2013

      DO NOT talk about “Queen” Rihsus like that. You know these stans go ballistic til they can’t think straight…oh wait not that they ever could…

  25. Loyalty May 21, 2013

    She genuinely needs to cool off and enjoy life. Get her priorities right. And the way shes been of late, she needs a break. Its got nothing to do with Beyoncé.

  26. Special Delivery May 21, 2013

    Omg she looks so ROUGH in that picture. Giving me ET realness.

  27. AdamMonster May 21, 2013

    If she’s not working on a new album the that’s good because she can’t sing at all.

    • Dray May 22, 2013

      And thissssssss from a Munster. Hunty, worry about Gaga’s bionic hip and next meat dress. Make sure she stays out of Madge’s discography too. Chhhhhhh

  28. SIT DOWN May 21, 2013

    Y’all really be boosting this girls head. She ain’t s***. She can’t dance, sing, or sell. The only thing she can do is smoke weed, go to strip clubs, and snort crack. The only thing hyping her up is her delusional fan base full of preteen girls. EVERYBODY (including cassie)>>>>>Rihanna

    • Ballsy May 21, 2013

      but who currs she walks like Rihanna!

  29. SIT DOWN May 21, 2013

    it’s a shame that real talent barely gets any recognition.

    • B**** BE SEATED May 21, 2013

      OH WELL B**** GO BUY YOUR FLOP FAVES SINGLES AND ALBUMS AND LET US NAVY MEMBERS WORRY ABOUT OUR QUEEN

  30. Tisha May 21, 2013

    Looks at Rihanna’s weave…

    That child’s scalp is just crying. “Noooo no new era, I can’t take another jacked wig. PLEAAASE!”

    But we all know by now. “New weave = new CD”

    • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

      She’s gone through hella weaves and wigs this era. If we were to go by your logic, we’d have about 5 new albums by now. 😆

  31. Yeah I Said It May 21, 2013

    Forehead

  32. FaithMade_D May 21, 2013

    Ok is it false for the new album or to the features or both

  33. Rihanna killed beyho’s career May 21, 2013

    Maybe BeUglyonce can finally get a hit.

    • B. Hill May 21, 2013

      If Beyonce wanted a “hit”, she’d date Chris Brown…last I heard Rihanna got a bunch of them from him.

      It’s funny though that you would put the word “ugly” in Beyonce’s name, because she is **much** prettier than Rihanna. And I’m not even saying that to be shady. It’s just true. So if Beyonce is “ugly,” then then makes Rihanna about as cute as cow manure.

      • Dray May 22, 2013

        How so with her baby teeth?

      • Sass May 22, 2013

        Baby teeth>>>>>>> Superdome forehead.

    • Music Soul Harmony May 21, 2013

      and you can finally get some d***.

      • Rihanna killed beyho’s career May 21, 2013

        Blah Blah Blah.She ugly bytch.you mad

      • Yaz May 21, 2013

        *Looks at the Rihanna pictures at the top of this post*

      • B. Hill May 21, 2013

        “Blah Blah Blah” hell. Again, Beyonce is better looking than RIhanna, so if Bey is ugly, then Rihanna is a nugget turd. You mad? lol Good.

      • MuiMui May 22, 2013

        B HILL Rihanna look better than you, frog eyed jump frog
        Beyonce might be better looking than Rihanna in a physical sense but the rest of Beyonces house hold can’t hold a light to Rihanna and her sexiness which is Effortless.

  34. POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) May 21, 2013

    But She can have a “Greatest Hits” album , ha @sam ?

    or even a “#1’s” kind of album in between albums. 😆

  35. Daydreamin May 21, 2013

    I hope she takes a break. She needs one to relax and perfect her craft. There’s no need for a new album. She’s going to burn herself out with another tour and promo for the next era

    • MuiMui May 22, 2013

      She is young let her work because work has never killed anybody but worry over what others are doing can and has killed people drive to move on,its not her fault her fans are always hungry for what shes serving up hot and heavy,micro wave or generic as you say to try and make it useless and forgettable music from her big pipes.
      Did you know that gggb was the third highest selling album in the world in 2007 and it was the 8th highest selling album in 2008 which spawned 3 #1 hits and two world wide hits,now what if she had not dropped that album until she got permission from all of you to drop it then she would have missed out on all of the excitement and love she got with that album waiting for people to decide when to make her next move.
      And if you are tired of Rihanna then why not get all the way losed, and stop clicking on her posts and showing just how stupid you can be , praise everybody but Rihanna and its okay because she not going any place shes here to keep you Upset and bothered, Until further notice and she do not have to ever be as great,as Beyonce, Rita and Kelly.

  36. Mark111 May 21, 2013

    Y’all know I’m a huge fan, but a break is needed and this album can pull another year. She was cutting the last 2 albums too short, she was nom for Album of the year for loud, yet promoting TTT at the same show. If there were not other hits on these albums then I wouldn’t care for a new one, but Roc Me Out, Fading, Drunk On Love could’ve been great singles. I know the haters want her to leave, but f*** them, our fans want you to relax. She made a great name for herself, no other chic is gonna come for that #2 spot.

  37. POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) May 21, 2013

    so @TGJ knows about rihanna more than Herself ?

    Give me a phuckin’ break, the do the absolute most to discredit the girl.

    i didn’t see @sam complaining that “jay-z” has an album every year ? HA ?

    where’s the creativity talking then ?!

    BIAS.

  38. TheTruth May 21, 2013

    Grown Woman has been leaked online AHHHH!!!!

    • GURL May 21, 2013

      since yesterday, you’re so late lol.

  39. TheTruth May 21, 2013

    The end is near for all the other H***> Beyonces’ a Grown Woman and she’s about to start running the game… AGAIN!!!

    • POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) May 21, 2013

      b**** please.

      • TheTruth May 21, 2013

        Scared

    • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

      That song SUCKS and will flop just like Run The World and those other singles that I won’t even bother naming.

      • TheTruth May 21, 2013

        HAHAHA you scared. Beyonce’s coming B****!

      • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

        Lol Ciara isn’t even scared of that dumb ass song.

    • Slayty Perry (The Female MJ) May 21, 2013

      Chile Beyonce hasnt been a factor oince 2009

    • Dray May 22, 2013

      Grown Woman would have been so much better without Beyonce’s howls and ghetto-countrified voice; I just wanted to hear the African man sing and then that bish howls just wreaking my vibe.

      • Jas May 22, 2013

        Girl, you should be the last one talking about Beyonce’s “howling” when you stan for a b**** that sounds like a damn constipated splice creature.

  40. . : : h 2 o : : . May 21, 2013

    Holloring @ the pressed-as-usual, BEYONCE-ruled and BEYONCE-dominated minds talking like Beyonce has anything to do with this…

    What a GARBAGE stanbase!!!! As if their fav dominates ANYTHING but $1 digital tracks stores when they have FIVE FLOP albums and only TWO hit ones under their worthless skinny asses!!!

    LOOOOOOL .

    LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL . . .

    • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

      Yeah yeah blah blah blah. And beyonce has an $100 million tour and $7446632 trillion in the bank. We don’t care boo. 😆

  41. S****** Blonde May 21, 2013

    I hope her next album has like 7 #1 singles, can’t wait to see her outshine some “it 2009” girl.

  42. X,Y,”AND Z” May 21, 2013

    LOL
    It’s a double edge sword for RihSHITanna. If she puts out another album soon it’ll probably bomb because she’s now officially overexposed… but we all know the reason why RihSHITanna has HAD to put out albums every year, because she isn’t strong enough to survive a break. She constantly spoon feeds the general public her bile to keep herself relevant. If she didn’t, people would quickly move on from her and not look back. You saw what the break between GGGB and RR almost did to her career.

    Ha.

    Backed yourself into a corner there, didn’t you RihSHITanna?

    X, Y, and “Z” — Out..!

    • Dray May 22, 2013

      Yes, we have your fav to show exactly what happened and she still drowning underwater.

  43. ratedxxx(tic toc) May 21, 2013

    not a big fan of her last album…

    I’m only here for another rated r….

    rihanna blond hair is not for everybody boo….

    I see some of the other stan base all happy and s***, that she’s not releasing another album..that’s some sad s***..funny and sad..

    its obvious rihanna is a threat to some of yall favs..its ok..she is a bad bish

  44. Neigh-Neigh Leakes May 21, 2013

    I’m sorry but I just don’t believe it. What is it with all these studio sessions if she’s not releasing another album later this year.
    We see through your lies girl. You’ve been that you wanted a “break” the last 2 yrs.

    • Neigh-Neigh Leakes May 21, 2013

      You’ve been SAYING…*

    • Likica May 21, 2013

      It doesn’t mean that she will release a new studio album though. Maybe she will make Unapologetic Reloaded or The Greatest Hits album, who knows.

  45. adele May 21, 2013

    Watch her album come out in November…and flop worse than Unpurchased.

    • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

      Using Adele (someone you probably don’t even listen to) to shade rih’s sales. Original. #BeGoneHiveWhore

    • AYYE May 21, 2013

      Unpurchased…..lol

  46. MyPenIzFresh May 21, 2013

    Whoa.. rihanna. Yikes! Usually you are put together so well. Even when you’re going for that ‘i threw it on’ look… Looks like she just got finishing getting it in, or she stressed about something.

    Whether its false or not, she’s hitting the studio. You go there to… RECORD. Smh, what do you NAVI fans think she’s doing? She’s got the labtop.. so she’s listening to the song Ester Dean wrote for her, and she’s about to go in the studio and rely on the effects of the producer. Sigh, roll on CD #8 lol

  47. ratedxxx(tic toc) May 21, 2013

    you know your fav is a flop, when you have to bring up her new song on a post that aint got s*** to do with her….

    poor little tink tink…

  50. NΛVI May 21, 2013

    lol the hood hive should be relief and send her thank you cards…maybe just maybe your fav may get a hit if she do release her album soon.

    • Dray May 22, 2013

      She still won’t get a hit because Rih will ride off the hits on UA. The Queen Roach is done.

  51. American May 21, 2013

    Beyonce mariah still the are the queens go back to y’all country haters black Americans build this Country before y’all was discover on the face if the earth I’m proud of my people we are hard working and educated not dont have nasty mines like u people

    • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

      You just made us look bad with your p*** poor grammar. Please don’t speak for us if you can’t form a proper sentence. Ugh next!!

      • Dray May 22, 2013

        Screams and faints@Navy. Well said.

  52. X,Y,”AND Z” May 21, 2013

    And in related good news, RihSHITanna’s Unflopagetic fell out of the top 30 this week. Tsk. Expect Def Scam to drop the retail price of it to a quarter soon to try and get her b******* album to sell.

    X, Y, “AND Z” — Out…!

    • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

      I thought that was natural after being on the charts for half a year?

      • NΛVI May 21, 2013

        ikr the reach!! beyonce is actually out of the 100 after the first month kiiiiiiiiii

    • X,Y,”AND Z” May 21, 2013

      Um I can name at least 5 albums that have been out as long as Unflopagetic that charted higher this week.

      Oh and please keep those dislikes coming ShitNavy. Every “dislike” I get lets me know that my words got under your skin! I’m that powerful over you and am your ruler.

      X, Y, “AND Z” — Out…!

      • Likica May 21, 2013

        You have no room to talk about flopping since you stan for Fistopher Trashown. After 5 albums, did he manage to sell at least 10 million albums? Unapologetic has outsold Fortune and Fame combined and his albums were more generic LOL

    • MuiMui May 22, 2013

      No matter what fell everything that goes up must fall,
      And no matter if shes cutting it short or long she has won a Grammy for Loud and flew across the pond and won a Brits award and if her latest is anything to go by her wins the other night should be a hard lick in the ear and eyes of all the big headed people who will ever doubt what Rihanna is capable of doing ever again in music from now on.
      Clown her movies , clown her clothes design but one thing is for sure and that is there are people who are taking notice of what and how shes doing things, Look at it like this before she came on the scenes who was the world buzzing all over about? Think that should not be a hard one to answer at all, Remember but now that talk is on and about each and every move Rihanna makes and the bigger Rihanna get the more talk will follower her every move and Rihanna and her fans and team all know this because it has revealed itself and all talk that follows her good are bad is expected and welcomed with open
      Arms & if you pay really close attention who are they always saying is better than Rihanna will ever be?see where i am coming from All Rihanna need to do is work on those dance moves more ,learn how to move that Booty more and Her songs has already proven over and over again that she have got them vocals on lock and if you don’t believe me , then ask yourself why has she worked with many of the Biggest Mc’s in the entire Industry and put them on the map, and why in the hell is she such a great hooks Singer She could be a Rapper if she so desired to be. She spites her lyrics as hard as jay and west on run this town and we all know she talks much trash on her songs like Skin,Rude Boy, Te Amo, RR, and the list goes on, stop being so silly and grow all the way up.

  53. Yeah I Said It May 21, 2013

    Chill. 99% of the time, Rihanna soars when BEYONCE is not around. Not the other way round.

    • GURL May 21, 2013

      lmfaoo. i guess that’s why rude boy block telephone from giong #1 on the billboard 100 …even gaga and beyonce combine can’t even stop rihanna..what makes you think bey alone have a chance?!! lmaoo sit yo ass down and unaplogetic already outsold 4 closure and it hasn’t even been a year lo.

      • Yeah I Said It May 21, 2013

        B**** boo bye. You stay using the old ‘4’ shade. Beyonces album that she wasn’t focused on hits or sales to shade and that’s the only album Rihanna can properly outsell. #TryAgain

      • I Will Adorn You May 21, 2013

        @Gurl The reason the b**** said 99%, not 100% dumb f***.

      • Dray May 22, 2013

        We know she was trying it and when @Gurl called her on it, you guys tried to backpedal with the 99% shyte. Oh please. . . . Rih is causing Bey to have all kinds of breakdowns and split personality crisis. Who is she this time? Rih has no competition and it’s certainly not Mrs. Has-Been-Bey.

      • Georgia May 22, 2013

        Lmao @ I Will Adorn You. Its true though, never realized that.

  54. American May 21, 2013

    If Beyonce was so desperate for a hit she would take the J Lo route and do that sort of music as the easy way out. You need to open your eyes. Beyonce does exactly what SHE wants to do AND gets the money. She is a money maker. And that is more important to her than a #1 single.

    • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

      Really? If that was more important to her, she would’ve dropped her single a long time ago. Yeah, we all know that beyonce worships the almighty dollar, but she also WANTS a #1 hit and in PEPSI’S words, “she wants this to be her biggest era ever”….well those aren’t their exact words but they said something about her wanting to dominate. Sooooo cut the b*******!

      • Vee May 21, 2013

        Of course she wants a hit, who doesn’t. But people make out shes soooo desperate. The only shade they have is why hasnt dropped the single? When the truth of the matter is no one knows. If she was desperate for hit, she wouldve dropped it at the height of hype around the superbowl, lip syncing time. The whole publicity then wouldve guaranteed it success even more. But she didnt. Like I said if she was that desperate she would’ve jumped on a David Guetta track already and not released an album like 4. Lets be real. Beyonce makes music she is comfortable with making and hopes for the best. Not just jumping on a bandwagon to get a hit.

      • Vee May 21, 2013

        That being said, she wants the era to do well as a whole, of course. Hence the promotion. Who wants their era to flop?

    • GURL May 21, 2013

      bown down sleazy attempt at pour it up remake, grown woman desperate for a hit..all her songs lack substance yet you hoodhive act like the b**** is doing coldplay type music *roll eyes*

      • Vee May 21, 2013

        No. Bye boo.

    • Absolved May 21, 2013

      Yeah, I’ve been saying that for years now. Beyonce knows what’s going on in the industry. If she were that thirsty for a hit, she could easily call up Dr. Luke, RedOne, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Max Martin, will.I.am and play follow-the-leader for some corny throwaway microwave popcorn hit that’ll smash today (but be forgotten in 5 years). And all of them would probably jump to work with her if she asked. She could also churn out generic, soulless, producer-driven albums every year that sort of run into each other and have no real identity for quick sales like Rihanna does. That’s not how you create a legacy and quality body of work, though.

      Beyonce has talent, and people with talent tend to take their time with projects and make music that compliments & showcases their talent. It’s talentless dime-a-dozen pop tarts like RIhanna who don’t care, will jump on any trend/fad and use any means necessary to keep their name out there, and will let their record labels w**** their name with front loaded new albums ad nausem for the sake of squeezing out every out of market juice available.

      Beyonce is better than that and quite frankly if Beyonce acted like Rihanna, I wouldn’t be a fan.

      • Vee May 21, 2013

        @Absolved MTE!

      • Vee May 21, 2013

        Even Usher converted to the dance sound to get a hit. Beyonce has never! Dont tell me she couldnt have done that with 4 era and it wouldve gone a wholee different direction. But she made a bold decision not to. Shes Beyonce, she can work with pretty much any producer she chooses. The most dance sounding track was sweet dreams. And even that is not really dance. Beyonces can sell albums and tours without a string of #1s to her name. And her music is still recognised widely without it having #1 status. Beyonce knows this. That says a lot about the name shes carved for herself in the industry.

      • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

        KIIIII!!! You’re talking like Beyonce is Sade or Prince or somebody. If it takes two years (two weeks for Bday) to come up with her crappy albums, then she can keep it lol. Beyonce has built her brand on booty shaking anthems and corny “female empowerment” songs, and if her and the hive likes it, I freaking LOVE it! 😆

        Don’t try to sit up here and act like Beys music is so freaking deep and meaningful when it’s NOT!

        Rihanna recorded her music from the ages of 16-24 years old. She’s having fun, partying, falling in and out of love, experiencing domestic violence, smoking and living her life….which reflects in her music. Hopefully she won’t be 30 years old telling b****** to bow down to her, being a grown woman and talking about having a fat booty. Kiii 😆

      • Vee May 21, 2013

        This aint about what you think of her music content and quality. I dont even have anything against dance music. You Rihanna fans take it to the extreme with everything. But its FACT that Beyonce has not taken the easy way to get a hit darling. Since you guys make out shes so ‘desperate’ whats stopping her doing that? Shes doing her. Has nothing to do with Sade and Prince.

      • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

        Ummm I was responding to the original poster. He/she was calling Rihs music generic and throwaway, and inferring that Beyonces was better because she quote unquote takes her time, which is soooooo far from the truth. Rihanna is not Kesha. Her discography is not FILLED with dance/EDM sweetheart. I’m not taking anything to the extreme, just responding to a comment in MY FAVES post. Is that a crime? 😕

      • Navy Sailor May 21, 2013

        And FYI: Rihanna has been doing dance music since 07….before it was “the easy way to get a hit” 🙂

      • Vee May 21, 2013

        Alright whatever. I love Rated R btw. There was no need to bring Prince and Sade into it no one said she was like them. I think the person was more referring to her attitude and how she chooses to releases music she doesn’t jump on any producers bandwagon to put out a generic hit. And it may be your faves post but you responded in MY comment box.

      • Rihanna killed beyho’s career May 21, 2013

        Absolved Beyonce is better off working with RedOne because most of her hits are generic mediocre soulless ghetto sing crap such as NoSingleLadies, Get me Body, Naughty Girl, Crazy in Love, Run the World, Diva and the list goes on. Come correct when you try to come at Rihanna. Don’t try to make it seem that BeUglyonce makes high class music when she’s just as generic as Rihanna.

      • Georgia May 21, 2013

        When you think Beyoncé and Rihanna and generic, people automatically think of Rihanna more. I am sorry its the truth. She may have some nice non generic songs off her albums like Rated R but the s*** she choses to release is generally generic. I don’t stan for Beyoncé but her music is not half as generic as Rihannas in general. No she is not high class but its true. She can sell off RNB sound. I aint even a big Beyoncé fan but she sticks to what she does best and has a recognizable sound as much as people call her unoriginal. You can listen to something and say that sounds like a Beyoncé song. Rihanna flip flops between whats hot.

      • Dray May 22, 2013

        Not even one of Beyonce’e songs will be sang ten years from now. If so, name one. If they sing anything she’s recorded, it will be from something when she was in DC.

      • Georgia May 22, 2013

        Well Crazy in Love has been around for 10 years now and is still charting so I wouldn’t be so quick to say that. Single ladies is one of the most recognisable pieces of choreography for this generation (you cannot deny)
        I also think Listen and Halo.

        From Rihanna I would say Umbrella, We Found Love and Diamonds.

        That’s my honest, unbiased opinion.

    • Slayty Perry (The Female MJ) May 21, 2013

      You and I both know that Best Thing I Never Had was designed to sell 4. That Kelly Clarkson leftover was built for radio

      • Vee May 21, 2013

        Albums don’t sell off one song. If that’s the case why wasn’t it her lead single?

  56. King B>Rihanna May 21, 2013

    so i still see that were on this Beyonce vs Rihanna and The Hive vs The Navy crap.

    *rolls eyes*

    *struts my fine ass off*

  57. JER May 21, 2013

  58. I Will Adorn You May 21, 2013

    • boo boo jones May 21, 2013

      *Rihanna the extra n was for nasty lol

    • MuiMui May 22, 2013

      Rihanna can be rude till all the cows come
      home and you can keep that attitude because her
      fans could care less,just though you and your stupidity should know. She has been called all the names and its still okay because you can never stop a hard working Artist who never gives up.

  63. dangelomcqueen May 21, 2013

    All this comotion calm down guys i know beyonce has your faves running around grabbing laptops and calling song writers tell dat gal to stop stressing her head i mean forehead gets bigger every album ha …. She aint grown shes alone

    • MING May 21, 2013

      WHILE beyonce is gearing up to steal more s*** from other artists.

      ..
      Rihanna gives the song writers credit and a check.$$$$$.
      (an artists dream)

      Beyonce will steal from you as long as the law allows.

      ..

      Beyonce, THANK GOD FOR YOUTUBE, YOU STOLE SOME OF YOUR BEST S*** OFF THERE. YOU ..LOW LIFE B****..

      I HATE A F****** LIAR and THIEF..

      • Nats May 22, 2013

        Rihanna has stolen aswell so fall back.

    • MuiMui May 22, 2013

      Dream need to be bow his behind down to kiss Rih b*** because after all she did help him get fifteen million dollars richer off umbrella if hes to be believed who else has he ever worked with and wrote for including himself that did better then fifteen million for one World Wide Smash Hit like Umbrella is.
      Beyonce is all of the artist and has been in the industry twice as long as Rihanna and has been to school of fine arts and she is still not for sure who in the worlds she is Herself., what has she done that was Controversial in Music ever in her entire life but drop,Bow Down,Grown Woman, Standing On The Sun Snippets and lipped at the white house president Gala.
      When you live your life as a”Perfectionist” there nothing exciting ever going on,at least not from your Fans and people in the world points of view ,people love excitement in their lives and Artist with Fire Power who talks smack back at them,that’s life. Beyonce is supposed to be a young artist Yet she acts like shes in the Over The Hill Gang.

      Rihanna is Younger,Sexier and can spit them Raunchy lyric harder and with more convicion than Beyonce ever have are ever will, even Kelly can spite them s*** Lyrics better than Beyonce can.

  64. Music Soul Harmony May 21, 2013

    Navy sailor, girl swerve. Where do you come up with such great insults like that…*sarcasm* Stay mad.

    • Dray May 22, 2013

      The mad is all these pressed gurls trying to come for and tear down Rih who is keeping your favs struggling. She is throwing receipts left and right as she catwalks through success in her heels. The sigh of relief heard when she confirmed she wan’t working on a new album was heard all throughout the internet community but we know any day Rih will be adding scalps to those wigs she’s already snatched.
