No, Rihanna was never a teen star, although she came out at 17. A teen star is Miley, Britney, CA, Raven and Brandy. Look at Lohan, Miley, Justin B and Brit, they were the ones trying to be role models, selling shit to your kids and as soon when they hit 18 said fuck off, after all that support from those 4 to 15 year olds. Rihanna said back in 07 that she was a bad girl, Rih fan base isn't 12 year olds like the others at one time. I closest she said to a role model was on that 20/20 interview and she said "When I found out that I had such an impact on these young girls lives, I could not live with that knowing that they to would go back to an abuses relationship. Chris, even if Chris never fits me again, what to say that their BF won't." When Rih went back to Chris, you could tell that she was in charge. Plus, what happen to your role mdoel being you mom or dad? Kid these days.
