Report: Rihanna Inks New Recording Contract

Published: Thursday 1st Aug 2013 by David

Say what you will about Rihanna, but little can be done to downplay her leading role in the play that is Pop music.

By no means a remarkable vocalist, the star has-in recent years- morphed herself into an albums seller, watching each and every LP she’s released since 2010 sell no less than 3 million units worldwide….impressive, by anyone’s standards.

Only right then, that she assesses her worth as an act today and secures a brand new recording contract- complete with new terms and conditions set to catapult her even further to Pop supremacy.

Good news below…

After becoming a stand alone label earlier on in the year, Roc Nation have now resigned Rihanna, three years after picking her up from Marc Jordan’s ‘Rebel One‘ management group.

Announced by Hits Daily Double, Rihanna‘s brand new recording contract will no doubt have seen the capital she’s generated for the label taken into account, as she continues her relationship with Universal‘s ‘Island Def Jam‘, with whom she signed with in 2004.

While specific details on the contract are yet to be revealed, unconfirmed  reports hint at a reevaluation of the 360 degree deal she allegedly signed, which sees a percentage of all her earnings acquired by her label.

If so, it’ll be interesting to see how future campaigns from the star will be rolled out, and – as far as Jay Brown is concerned- how ROC will use the muscle power they’ve garnered through Rihanna to push their budding cash cows…Rita Ora and Elijah Blake.

  3. Draggin4MrsCarter August 1, 2013

    Too bad she’s still on that 360.

    • Yikes August 1, 2013

      Theres no proof that she ever was on a 360 deal. She was under a 7 album contract it wasnt mandatory for her to release yearly. That was her & her teams decision for w/e reason. Now Rihanna is a very smart businesswoman (we see how quick she willing to sue a company) so if she did agree to such a thing I’m willing to bet she currently has a very small percentage in Roc Nation. Seeing how she is their biggest and most consistent money maker.

  4. Amelle (SugarbabeLand) August 1, 2013

    The fact you have Rihanna news up the fastest. #Stans

    • ItsCheryl2Bh August 1, 2013

      The fact that you stan for Flopmelle And The Wannabes.

  5. NaviKissKiss August 1, 2013

    Queen Rihanna making those coins! Where is Beyonce? Hiding again?

    • TeenageDreaner August 1, 2013

      Don’t worry about Beyonce when Rihanna only has 20,000 to her name.

    • Drew August 1, 2013

      But Beyoncé is that money making b**** tho. You tried.

    • XXX August 1, 2013

      Shading Beyonce with money is a big NO. Since Rihanna is with Roc Nation, which means a percentage of her wage goes in the Carters pockets. The fact that Beyonce is making more money than Rihanna off a ‘greatest hits’ Tour>>>>>>

    • Beyond Amazing (Cause Bey really is!) August 1, 2013

      Really, all you had to do was congratulate and move on. Damn you h*** love bring Queen Bey into s***. But hey what can I say she must be doing something right. All you so called haters don’t mind to be the first one’s to post on her post. But it’s all good. Bey is going to keep on wining.

      • MuiMui August 1, 2013

        XXX Yes we know Beyonce is making more money
        then Rihanna,and she is also making more money then
        so many more that get post on here. Beyonce make more money then Kelly ,Solange also.

  6. FentySoSnatched August 1, 2013

    Once afucking again, Grape are the first to report the tea. Why not just admit she’s your fave?

    • NANA August 1, 2013

      Sam’s sloppy bottom ass always shading Rihanna in every f****** article. He’s so pressed. Rihanna has him fuming to the point that he wants to degrade her every opportunity he gets.. And Sam only stans for flops like Rita whora

      • MuiMui August 1, 2013

        And the more they shade Rihanna the bigger she is still
        getting. There is nothing this blog are other blogs can do to stop Rihanna from getting whats rightfully her’s.
        And look at all the free promos Rihanna is getting fromthe
        blogs.

  7. QueenBridgetKelly August 1, 2013

    Oh at you guys fighting already?

    • Woman2Woman August 1, 2013

      Every damn day.

  8. ^AKA^ August 1, 2013

    Sam, you forgot to post that Rihanna Won Topshop Court Case Over T-Shirt Bearing Her Likeness. 😀 More money for her!

    • 212Thuggin August 1, 2013

      More money for Jay Z you mean.

      • ^AKA^ August 1, 2013

        For Rihanna I mean. And get out of my post, I didn’t ask your opinion.

      • 212Thuggin August 1, 2013

        You didn’t ask for my opinion but I gave it to you, so deal.

      • MuiMui August 1, 2013

        More money for Jayz and every tour stop Jayz makes its more money for Live Nation,since he and Madonna are both on 150Million ten year 360 deal with them.
        The mention of a 360 is some how supposed to make Rihanna and her fans lives more what ? You got to got pay somebody,for something. Even with a 360 Rihanna is still on the list and charts that counts the most.

  9. JER August 1, 2013

    Rihanna needs to release a greatest hits or something this fall. Not a new album, but SOMETHING. Maybe a stand-alone single. People expect a huge Rihanna single every Fall, don’t stop it now or her wig will be snatched permanently if her FOLLOWING era isn’t pushed hard enough

  10. . : : H 2 O : : . August 1, 2013

    Good luck Rihanna.

    • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

      Thank you. She is blessed. Guess what news has just come in? Take a bow becomes her 15th video to certified 100 miliion views.

      Right Now is number 1 in south Korea with close to 200k sold. In fact, Right now has now sold over a million copies. Another plat hit.

      WFL is the 24th most played song on the Hot 100 IN HISTORY.

      It just keeps getting better…………….We praise god. I cannot think of a black female singer slay so easily . She does not even need to do anything anymore.

      • . : : h 2 o : : . August 1, 2013

        Congrats..

        Thanks

  11. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) August 1, 2013

    That’s why she was microwaving albums every year, to get out of that 360. I hope this new contract means she’ll actually start making music worth listening to again and not rushed crap that is TTT or Unaflop,..

    • AzaleanArmy August 1, 2013

      You read my mind sister.

  12. XXX August 1, 2013

    Cool!

  13. Rihboy August 1, 2013

    Laughing at the haters dying inside…for the non factor up top who says shim wont by her music! Trust she is good without your money…..although i can clearly see your an undercover fan…so which album do you like the most!? 🙂 #deal

  14. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

    Take a bow video has now just crossed 100 million, this is the 15th in her career. So while beyonce and rita whora try it with rih, Rih keeps slaying these b****** with her eyes close. How many 100 million videos does beyonce or Rita whora have?

    She was never on a 360 deal. She makes too much money to be on that. Rita whora is on a 360 deal. She has all these deals, yet is broke. She was not even on the Rich UK music list. Jay z will make her take a 360.

    • Mimi Heartbreaker August 1, 2013

      Lies exposed.
      Rihanna HAS ALWAYS been on a 360 and we know that because her business manager spilled the tea, so stop.

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        Well, it did not stop her making over 50 million a year. Owning mansion in beverly hills. She is not broke. This new contract will be mega deal. Her lawyers will be the best in the game, like Goerge zimmerman’s lawyers and they will make Rih get an even better deal than the one she signed in 2004.

      • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 1, 2013

        @rita ok b**** u just got clocked for lyn so now everyone know u swallow…c** guzzling h**

      • MuiMui August 1, 2013

        It is always Lies when it come to her , yea we know she is the only Artist with a 360 deal in the Universe,you dumb ass. She is winning and it make many physically sick.They just have to try and make it always bad for Rihanna ,and that let many know that shes doing something right.
        She is a Kept Woman at this point in her life and there is nothing you can do who don’t like it.

    • Beyhive August 1, 2013

      Boo, beyonce was on that most certified list to. She doesn’t put out as many videos as rihanna. 4 was the only era with multiple vids because bey was pregnant and couldn’t promote and 2 of those vids got 100, million views, and beys richer than rih. Didnt she beat her on Forbes this year? Lmao

  15. Micks August 1, 2013

    So people were right when they predicted her original contract was coming to an end. No wonder she pushed out that fast food music every year.

  16. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

    While Rita Whora is struggling to dress and act liek Rih on instagram – with her no singles or even dates of release…..Rih keeps breaking records
    Even with beyonce ‘ back ‘ and on tour, Rih keeps breaking records, day after day. WFL has been named the 24th most played song in American history. Hot 100 chart-. When was teh last time beyonce broke a record? When was teh last time rita whroa broke a record? Rita is not even dropping any music. All she does is party and does rihanna inspired photoshoots. Even walking out of her hotel, DRESSED IN THE EXACT SAME LEATHER OUTFIT RIHANNA WORE IN LONDON LAST MONTH. LOL,

    Even Rita whora for DKNY is exact cheap rip off or Rihanan iver island. From the baseball caps, mesh jerseys’s long string skirts etc. You know you run the POP CULTURE AND FASHION when an old white women like DKNY ( donna karan ) cannot afford to hire to, but copies your clothing line and hires and rihannabe clone.

    The DKNY Rihannabe shoot was the best thing to happen to Rih in fashion. Everyone in fashion world is shocked that DKNY would try and copy Rihanan. But this is good for Rih, cos her river island line is the original, cheaper and BETTER . So more business for Rih and f*** DONNA KARNA AND RIHANNABE DKNY line.

    Tom Ford did say that women want to dress like Rihanna. Now fashion designers are trying steal her style. People say she copied rita whora?

    • BrunoMartian August 1, 2013

      Put a sock on it.

    • MuiMui August 1, 2013

      These female like Rita and well all of them who did not make the Forbes for the last four years are still trying to make it in the game.
      I am sure Rita and all the others has a 360 deal and is paying the Carters but Rihanna is the only one who get TOP BILLING in the Dislike of Rihanna campaign
      Rihanna Fashion ICON.

  17. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

    e deal she allegedly signed, So you have no proof she signed a 360. When they first met her iN 2004, I doubt they expected she would be building a brand and 360 did not exist in 2004. She signed a standard 7 year deal and now, she got more money to stay. End of. You cannot destroy her so fall back.

    • HerNameIsSasha August 1, 2013

      You really are a clueless b****! She was on a 360 and that’s why she rushed out those albums so she could get out of it.

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        Unless you have seen the contract. I will not believe a word that comes from your motherfucking mouth.

      • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 1, 2013

        @rita and i cant believe the s*** that comes outta YO mouf

      • MuiMui August 1, 2013

        That is right unless you can show the signed contract you might as well shut your big mouth because you don’t know nothing.

      • Admit It August 1, 2013

        Ri Ri rushed those albums so she can get top dollar, she completed her 6 albums then relaxed now she’s continuing making bigger deals than she first got from Def Jam. A new artist never get top dollar, Now ri ri can get what she really deserve. Haters back up

    • caribbean native August 7, 2013

      Im a strong navy but i really believe that she had a 360 at the time because when she debuted the music sales was on a decline., so she took the deal she smartly rushed out the album so that she can make real money now…. i cant wait because its was puzzling how she dont make 90 mill plus a year cuz she does that kind of work,

  18. KING RIH August 1, 2013

    wait, still with Def Jam???????? After the hell they put us through with lack of promo etc etc…………………………………………

  19. WhoIsTheQueen (Beyonce That’s Who) August 1, 2013

    Breaking news: Beyonce just bought a new purse using the money from Loud. #ZontBeMod

    • GagitaMaraj August 1, 2013

      Lols.

      • MuiMui August 1, 2013

        Beyonce bought her a new purse it least Rihanna money is being put to good use,let us see Beyonce buy herself a Hit with all of her and Jayz Billions this time around.

    • KING RIH August 1, 2013

      Because she couldnt afford it herself. When was the last time Bey saw sales like Loud?

      • Micks August 1, 2013

        LOL that was so weak. Rihanna wishes she could be a boss b**** making money like Beyonce^

      • Beyhive August 1, 2013

        B**** when was the last time RIHANNA SAW SALES LIKE LOUD? No wait, how many times has she seen sales like loud? TWICE? Lol

    • Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez August 1, 2013

      How would Beyonce or even Jay Z get money from Rihanna’s LOUD album? Someone needs to go back to school and learn what the word “MANAGEMENT” means.

  20. PRINCE MACHIAVEL August 1, 2013

    Good For Her, I Hope For Her She’ll Have More Control So They Couldn’t Make Her Work Like Crazy Every Damn Years!

  21. quite August 1, 2013

    it says rumor, but if it’s true it’s good for her, is it? the 360 isn’t that bad for the label and the peops working there, but percentages are… important. more in her own pocket. i know what i calculated last week. 😀

  22. The Boy Toy August 1, 2013

    That old ass article did not say anything about a 360. Def Jam wouldn’t finance her, therefor she had to pay for her videos and s*** outta pocket unbeknownst to her! Her manager took money from her endorsements and financed her stuff!

    • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

      Dej jam got rid of Christian million uses her budget to Finance rih back in 2006. What the f*** are you talking about?

      Blah blah and yet she was teh only black face on the forbbes under 30 list. You wish she dead broke like ya momma.

      • The Boy Toy August 1, 2013

    • ^AKA^ August 1, 2013

      I agree with yout list.

      Oft, Frank Ocean Lost is certified Gold in Denmark 😉

      • . : : h 2 o : : . August 1, 2013

        Wow!

    • CHILE August 1, 2013

      She might need a triple dicc for her greatest hits album..cause at the pace she’s going..i don’t see a greatest his album in the near future/ cause she still and just start making her mark…probably when she’s like in her 40’s…. we’ll just have to wait and see cause she has a lot of hits! plus those to come or singles collection complition album!!!

    • Kelly August 1, 2013

      But every Greatest Hits record gotta have fan favorites that weren’t singles. The good s*** everybody knows anyway, so go ahead and add

      1. Skin
      2. California King Bed (that was a single)
      3. Umbrella remix with Breezy
      4. Pour It Up (urban single, but still number 1)

    • rihking (na na na dont be shy) August 1, 2013

  24. KING RIH August 1, 2013

    Rihanna stans work my nerves. Just because TTT and Unapologetic didnt do Loud/GGGB numbers does NOT mean they are bad albums. Unapologetic is her second best album behind Rated R and TTT is decent.

    idiots

    • rih rox (ignore that imposter who’s always here it has my old account and now i have a new one) August 1, 2013

      Ummm…I don’t think those are navy.

      I love unapologetic.

  25. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

    If so, it’ll be interesting to see how future campaigns from the star will be rolled out, and – as far as Jay Brown is concerned- how ROC will use the muscle power they’ve garnered through Rihanna to push their budding cash cows…Rita Ora and Elijah Blake

    Even with Rihanna money and name, the whole of roc nation is a flop.

    Rita’s album has not even sold 1 million in total

    Elijah blake has not had a charted song to his name

    Niether has willow Smith

    Or bridjet kelly, or Alexis jordan

    J cole? He is doing ok, but his is not the biggest selling rapper out there. They might as well close the label, get rid of Rita, and the rest and focus 100% on Rih’s needs-

    Cos, she is the only thing keeping the lights on. Maybe they can get rita ORA a job as Rih’s ass wiper

    • Ariana’sGrand August 1, 2013

      The irony is that Rita and Elijah can sing circles around her.

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        Sadly for them…..You do not need a great voice to be a star. Maybe they shoud be vocal teachers.

      • The Boy Toy August 1, 2013

        The real irony is that they won’t even see a quarter of Rihs success. Sooowwwyyy! 🙁

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        YUP. Elijah blake will have a good living as a songwriter, BUT RITA WHORA WILL BE DROPPED. EVEN SHE F**** FOR TARCKS, THEY WILL F*** HER AND STILL KICK HER FLOP ASS TO THE CURB.

        SHE HAS NOTHING TO OFFER AND if u go and read on the UK daily mail, people just want her 15 mins to be up. In the USA, WE still do not know who she is, outside of being a h** and rihannabe clone. Rih remains unbothered with her daily record breaking career.

      • . : : h 2 o : : . August 1, 2013

        Rita can’t sing better than Rihanna LMAO …

        Rihanna has a unique, distinctive voice, and has versatility.. Can do lots of genres..

        Rita’s voice is BLAH … Actually everything about Rita is BLAH. Nothing special, nothing impressive, just another pop girl from the UK.

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        Exactly H20 YES! Say it loud…… Even That pretty CLEAN, T*** Arian Grande is better singer than Rita,. She sounds like Mariah and is bigger in the USA than rita whora will ever be.

        Rita said, back in Jan, her new single will come in summer. Now they have pushed it back to Sept – lady gaga month. I So, any moment now, the single should be on radio…….

        She said her new album will come before Xmas, now it is sometime next year. Roc nation do not know what to do with girl, so they try and keep her in the public ye with that Fake asS PR Calvin harris thing or Numerous rihanna inspired photoshoots. She is done; even Jessie J seems to be struggling in the UK, I expect Rita to flop hard on her ‘ comeback’

  26. Molly August 1, 2013

    Good for you RiRi

  27. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

    They cannot destroy the career; they cannot stop the record sales or youtibe views, as well as top 40 airplay. They cannot stop the movies, TV and fashion deals. So they try to paint her as broke like TLC OR TOni BRAXTON.

    But rih LOL at the n****’s while she sits on a yacht in st tropez.

  28. PRINCE MACHIAVEL August 1, 2013

    SN, Where Is PIU’s Video? Why “Jump” Isn’t Yet A Single? Is She Gonna Pay This Album Dust Again Like She Did With “TTT”? “TTT” Had Some Great Hits Like:”Rock Me Out, Drunk On Love, Whatch’n Learn” But She Didn’t Care For Them, CH!!!

    • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

      She has got to a stage in her life where she does not even need to drop singles or videos like lessors. Her name is enough. How many singers can go platinum on unofficial songs?

    • Monstarebel August 1, 2013

      Hun this era is in the dumps tbh its being handled worse than talk that talk.

      • PRINCE MACHIAVEL August 1, 2013

        Well That’s Sad Cause “Jump” Is A Fire Hit! Hell Even “POTRW” Can Be An Hit, The Walk At The End On Victoria’s Secret Show Was Fiiiiyaaah!!!

      • truth here August 1, 2013

        i agree its in bad shape so far. But a lot of fans have to keep in mind the tour is what messed her up. IMO she embarked on it way too soon. Also this has been the biggest tour she’s done yet (highest grossing/ multiple stadiums) so I’m sure the last thing on her mind was promoting songs on her off days. Now that she has a month off if she fails to do anything then thats her loss, cause the album still has a lot of great potential singles/ future #1’s.

    • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

      What is the pint of spending millions to make video, when folks will buy the song without the video? That is how powerful her name is. Her life is a 24 . 7 video. She gives to her fans daily, we really do not need a video anymore. it would be nice, but, her on instagram is more than enough. She entertains us just with a tweet.

      She is got it like that. Some folks roll out 20 videos and flop. She puts out none and slays.

  29. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

    I hope she fires Roc nation. She needs a real manager like Larry Rudloph or Benny medina. Why would she hired dumb negores to manage her?

    • Micks August 1, 2013

      Its worked for her so far

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        We will see, when she is 30, she will be a different woman than now. New blood is always needed.

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        They know, she can fire them on any given sunday…..they better not try it with rih.

  30. Monstarebel August 1, 2013

    The shade is all types of tired… People say anything to start s*** & get a reaction.. Anyways i wish Rihanna the best of luck with this new contract.

  31. The Boy Toy August 1, 2013

    Yessss Rih b****! I am looking forward to a MASSIVE campaign for album 8 next year. 😀

    • Monstarebel August 1, 2013

      Honey it better be massive she needs to make up for these last 2 eras.

  32. JJFan1814 August 1, 2013

    Glad Rih stayed with them! Can’t fix what isn’t broke! Of course they will re-sign their top money maker! Rihanna is the most popular artist on that label.

    I’m sure she negotiated the contract though; after all she’s a business woman.

    • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

      YUP. You know it! Cos if they did not……….There a million people that would die to have rih on their books. Hopefully, she negotiated to get rid of that Rihannabe clone h** from the UK, with her no career.

  33. jokers August 1, 2013

    I would take Rih more seriously as an artist if she starts beig more professional instead of some arrogant cocky drug addict b****.

    • Monstarebel August 1, 2013

      Rihanna doesn’t need your validation

  34. Monstarebel August 1, 2013

    Anyways im looking forward to hearing Katy Perrys new single next month.

    • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

      I like the fact that Katy and Gaga are going head to head. It will drag sales for katy. I think Katy is trying to show the game, that she IS bonafied american singer star. She does not get enough props. It is gonna be a juicy month.

  35. caribbean native August 1, 2013

    MY QUEEN DESERVES 75 PERCENT!!!!!!!! YUSS RIH!!!

  36. Valerie (barb) August 1, 2013

    Dope

  37. shauwndapooh August 1, 2013

    yes keep building that brand

  38. cake like lady gaga August 1, 2013

    Lol at Riherpes being used by the greedy Carters again, girl better make that money or else!!

    T********* needs money to bleach her skin, Blue needs more money for her college fund, and Gay-Z needs money to pay the people at Billboard to post up fake numbers.

    So Riherpes can keep slaving away for the Carters..
    Oooooooooopt

    • . : : h 2 o : : . August 1, 2013

      Rihanna made more money than Jay-Z this year, and more than Jay-Z and Bey last year … And those are supposted to be her “owners”.

      So I think it’s time to stop with that lie.

      Yes, she was on a 360 deal in 2007, now she’s not! Her NW exceeds $100 million.

      That’s hardly the NW of someone under a “s**** deal”.

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        I calculated rih total net worth at € 184 million USD. AT 25, as black west indian immigrant? Her property portfolio includes: Land in Barbados ( good move ); pacific palisades mansion with the value of 12 million USD; A mansion in Barbados as well. I am sure she has stocks, bonds and shares too.

        They keep trying, but failing….

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        Just like 50 cent done when he had his reebok sneakers, Rih took a low signing on fee with River island, for a bigger share of total gross profits. So she has a business, as well as signging career.

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        She is also property savvy at a young age. In 2008 she copped a home in the plush Loz feliz. Then came the beverly hills mansion – all this was while she was UNDER 25,most under 25 year olds live at home. She did not do what most rappers do and spend her money on bling bling, she invested in property. People keep forgetting that she is west indian and they dont play.

      • quite August 1, 2013

        you dunno how that works. take some econom classes. 😉 her net worth doesn’t grow casue of that deal. that deal is only how much she gets of that. wtf you numbers. her music alone is at rough 40 mil per year. dunno how much endorsement is worth. forbes is pretty good with 43 last year. it’s a factually value. one can calc approx that same myself.

  39. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

    God is good. We praise him.

    A new mega deal I told y’all that her deal would be up this year

    Sell out stadium tour

    Multi platinum album and singles ( without any legwork or promo )

    hit movie

    Hit makeup, parfume and fashion line

    Hot TV SHOW

    Youtube record breaker

    Radio top 40 slayer

    25 years

    Successfully destroying internal and external haters, clones and naysayers.

    God is good; we praise and give him thanks for Rihanna’s life and career, in the name of jesus!!!!!!

    Well done Rih, you deserve this . This is the WILL of the lord.

    • MuiMui August 1, 2013

      What got many floored is the though of her being one of the ONLY four Blacks on that Tour list of 100 tours for the first 6-months and shes less than 7 Million behind Beyonce who is riding Pepsi and their Million with her all over the world.
      That speaks volumes to the kind of artist Rihanna has turned into, and the good News about all of the tour News is that Rihanna is now making a Million and over a tour stop.

  40. rih rox (ignore that imposter who’s always here it has my old account and now i have a new one) August 1, 2013

    The FCK is going on with this site where did my comments go? Ugh!!!

    Anyways why are people here acting like she was signed to ROC nation when Gayz was just her manager?

  41. S****** Blonde August 1, 2013

    The Icon of her generation, no one else comes close, Legend in the making, best black female Pop Star of all times, don’t you dare to mention Janet, this girl has something special, i don’t know, there is something about her that is just FIRE!….

    Plays: Drunk On Love.

    • Rhythm Nation August 1, 2013

      Why must you insist on shading Janet all the time? Best black female popstar of all time? In your opinion.

      • S****** Blonde August 1, 2013

        I didn’t.

    • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

      Janet was mainly big in the USA. RIH IS TRULY GLOBAL.

      • tits mcgee August 1, 2013

        still Janet achieved more than Rih has and may ever, and she was the 1st black female Mega popstar on the planet. I love Rih, but what is with the hate. Jeez.

      • JOHNVIDAL August 1, 2013

        @tits
        Whitney was the first really. Janet debuted before her I think but she didn´t have the success until the very late 80´s.

    • JOHNVIDAL August 1, 2013

      Well Janet is more legendary and will be. But not only that, Whitney Houston will always be ABOVE Rihanna in every single aspect and area, including the icon and global star thing you like that much. Sorry, but she is FAR from being the best Black female star of all times. Are u f****** high or what???

      • S****** Blonde August 1, 2013

        I don’t see Whitney as a Pop Star, we all know Whitney was the It’ girl but when it comes to Pop, Beyonce and Rihanna takes the cake, Janet too though.

      • please b**** August 1, 2013

        @ john

        I think of whitney as more the 1st black pop vocal superstar. Ella Fitzgerald was nd, but no one was on whitney’s level. Janet was the 1st black pop mega star for all around performance. A pretty voice and legendary stage shows.

      • tits mcgee August 1, 2013

        @Please B****

        I agree with your estimation. Janet does have a pretty voice, iconic videos, legendary stage shows, and fashion sense. She was the 1st true all around black female pop star with All those elements.

        Whitney is correctly identified as the 1st global black female superstar.

        @John
        I get what your saying. Whitney did sell more records that Jan, and had more overall acclaim, but she was not an overall model of a “pop star” as Jan was…

        @S******

        I agree with your last post all the way..

  42. Rihanna killed beyho’s career August 1, 2013

    Rihanna is winning. Rihanna is making millions and breaking records by patting her p****. Yes!!

  43. Rhythm Nation August 1, 2013

    Hopefully, she’ll be more in control

    • tits mcgee August 1, 2013

      lol! I love the play on words..

  44. Just To Say August 1, 2013

    Rolling Stones 50 greatest live acts right now is out. Madonna and Beyonce are the two top females on a very male dominated rock list. Congrats.

    • RICHIE_RICH August 1, 2013

      I saw that list too….I do agree with Madonna and Beyonce being great live. What I don’t get is how they have Jay-z and Kanye ahead of Bey and Madonna. Jay-z is horrible LIVE.

      • Just To Say August 1, 2013

        I think Jay Z shuts it down live.

      • RICHIE_RICH August 1, 2013

        I will take Kanye live over Jay, but that’s just my opinion.

      • Just To Say August 1, 2013

        Fair enough

    • JOHNVIDAL August 1, 2013

      Well Tina Turner should be higher than Beyonce for damn sure. I´m so tired of those lists Rolling Stone makes. Like the best vocalist of all time was a joke (well part of it). Not to mention Beyonce (and also Madonna) are their only female darlings. So biased.

      • Just To Say August 1, 2013

        The key words are ‘right now’. Not ‘of all time’. And Beyoncé and Madonna aren’t the only females on the list. They are the highest pop females which I think I think is pretty much accurate. But everyones OPINION differs.

      • JOHNVIDAL August 1, 2013

        Ah ok sorry, I thought that “right now” meant the list was out now, not about the best performers right now, so yeah it´s ok to say Beyonce is there. They are still biased though and those two are their darlings, I believed that before seeing your comment, it´s something I´ve noticed over the years.

  45. tits mcgee August 1, 2013

    Congrats Rihanna! Well done in the 1st chapter. I can’t wait to see what you got for us in the 2nd!

    • Slayty Perry (Killer Queen) August 1, 2013

      Rated R, Music of the Sun, and A Girl Like Me have not sold over 3 million worldwide.

      • ^AKA^ August 1, 2013

        Rated R and A Girl Like Me did, MOTS didn’t.

  48. TeamBreezy August 1, 2013

    Reading these lame anti-Rihanna comments is a clear indication that you children know nothing about contracts nor the entertainment industry.

    Congrats to Ri and her ever-growing brand

  49. Krissy August 1, 2013

    She needs to make more money off that. Her money making stats are weak considering how much work and exposure she gets.

    • TeamBreezy August 1, 2013

      For someone who doesn’t write her songs and still manages to make an easy $40-$50 mill a year while consistently being called “lazy” ……

      • Krissy August 1, 2013

        But didnt she have writing credits for the last album? And With her all her touring, appearances at shows and festivals and endorsements? Not impressive.

      • TeamBreezy August 1, 2013

        She is not making any less than her counterparts. I can only imagine how much more she would make if she had more writing credits. Check forbes , that’s what I am using as a source

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        How many black n**** are making over 40 million? Age 25? Jay z was not making that amount in his 20’s. He could not even get signed at that age. Stop trying hate on her.

      • Kisses from Ldn August 1, 2013

        Why are you using the N word? And actually Beyonce was making much more than her at 25

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        Apart from beyonce? anyone else? No, f*** boy!

    • Kisses from Ldn August 1, 2013

      @Krissy True!

  50. Slayty Perry (Killer Queen) August 1, 2013

    I’m surprised she signed with them again. Her last two albums and overall era’s were handled poorly.

  51. Bey Fan August 1, 2013

    Im not sure why ppl are so quick to say congrats and we don’t know the details of the new contract.

    of course with her all of her success we can assume that this will mean more money for her… but you never know.

    Good luck… I hate watchin her live, but I love her music.

    • quite August 1, 2013

      details? if i’d guess. her endorsements shifted over to rocnation management with a new contract and perhaps some more royalties from the music sales and tour gross which is the music label’s matter. that’d look kinda good.

  52. Mark111 August 1, 2013

    I told y’all! I think she rushed her albums to get off of Def Jam. I feel for them cause she’s the only one that sells over there year after year, cause we know Mariah with her 346 remixes aren’t bring s*** in. Rita doesn’t stand a chance in hell now, Rihanna will get more money, cause I’m sure a lot of labels was wanting her.

  53. Mark111 August 1, 2013

    Rihanna is the only current artist that if she release a greatest hits Vol 1, it would be 3 disc set. Not only that, but she’s also the only current artist in the last 10 years that can release a #1’s album with 12, throw 2 new tracks on there and they’ll be #1’s as well. Katy who? Gaga what? Beyonce with 5 #1’s… that’s cute.

    • RICHIE_RICH August 1, 2013

      But what was the purpose of bringing the others girls into this?

      • Mark111 August 1, 2013

        The same purpose why every Rihanna hater comes on a page about her, BECAUSE I CAN!

    • Uyun August 1, 2013

      …and they would probably still need to discount it to $4 to get it to sell.

      • Ballsy August 2, 2013

        The lies you spread. Itunes still has UNA at full price months after its release

  54. Rihboy August 1, 2013

    She is becoming more and more marketable and just not in music alone. Im happy because i know it will only get better. People try to make it seem like she is some dumb bimbo that dont know s***, however she is really smart especially when it omes to collecting coins. Her management and others see potential in her and they will continue to make sure she is happy in return for a big payday on both parts…plus making the navy happy with good music. So sorry to all of you on rafts outside the ship waiting for her ship to sink because it is#deal still sailing and will not reach dock for a while.

  55. Love Life August 1, 2013

    Im failing to see why people are celebriting already like shes guaranteed success? Obviously she would get a new contract because shes brings in the money for labels. Great label puppet. But how do we know they are gonna treat her right? If the way Unapologetic and TTT eras are anything to go by i’ll say no more. Some new contracts can spell the end ijs.

    • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

      Unless it remains confidential. But, whatever helps u sleep at night, she is 25 in a mansion. How old are you, and what do u have?

      • Kisses from Ldn August 1, 2013

        Its not confidential since we know about it. Why would it be confidential anyway?

      • Mark111 August 1, 2013

        @Kisses from Ldn, So Roc Nation wouldn’t announce that Rihanna is on their label? Announcing it and the terms of the new contract are not the same. You haters go the extra mile ti hate, even if it’s off a cliff.

      • rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

        The personal details of her contract are none of your f****** business. But, let put it this way, she is not broke. YOU ARE!

        Why would it be confidential. Because it is none of your business.

      • Kisses From LDN August 2, 2013

        Well common sense should tell you if TGJ can pick up on via other new sources than so can the major ones. And if it was major, then they would report it.

  60. rita ora album is not even paltinum in the uk August 1, 2013

    If y’all though george zimmerman lawyers were the s***, imagine the lawyers who work for rihanna. She is straight.

  61. CzarM August 1, 2013

    As a signing bonus, Rihanna got a new iPhone (previously owned by Beyoncé, who didn’t want it and was planning to return to the store) to use for Instagram shenanigans. In the meantime, the conditions of the new deal state that Blue Ivy gets a 10% commission from Rihanna’s earnings, and is now her executive co-manager.

  62. X,Y,”and Z” August 2, 2013

    Rihshitanna aint got no new contract. That tone deaf, cattle squealing B**** signed her life away the first time. It’s binding and forever. If she tried to leave they would f*** up her face worse than Chris did. She will still be working for the Roc 10 yrs after she’s dead. It ain’t management, its ownership!

    X,Y,Z — Out…!

  63. Ballsy August 2, 2013
