    Rumor has it RIHvember cometh, if true, I cannot wait.

    There’s no killing blurred lines lol, that song is still everywhere. Well good for him, especially considering just how s*** the album is. I was hoping for a lost without you on that s*** disc at least.

  3. ETONE August 29, 2013

    I see why that rip off copycat thief wants to try to imitate Rihanna’s looks.

    This lil b**** is selling 3-4 million off just a single don’t gotta jump around on stage with 100 people to make her look good.

  9. Love Life August 29, 2013

    What happened to Unapologetic? She gave up on that album. Only two videos thats weird.

    • Lovebird (Prism – 10.22.13) August 29, 2013

      I’m certain that album was all about Chris Brown, and now that the dude isn’t around, she couldn’t be bothered.

  10. Super Cisus August 29, 2013

    Rihalienna is such an ugly s*** flop

    • Rihanna killed beyho’s career August 29, 2013

      Ci-Error is an ugly man looking flop s*** who can’t beat K.M’s first week sales.. Mad because nobody is checking for this 50 cent rejected c** s***.

      • ETONE August 29, 2013

        Rihanna has been passed her in every way, Ciara should be humiliated.

    • Joj August 29, 2013

  14. Ruleyou August 29, 2013

    This bobblehead b****’s sales are mediocre. If it wasn’t for Christina Brown busting this black w**** in the head she would be a flop like Ci-Error.

    • ETONE August 29, 2013

      that happen years ago. and she was selling before that. she was invited to attend the grammys that evening.

    • Tash August 29, 2013

      Receipts for Jay Z slapping Beyonce? You tried.

      • ETONE August 29, 2013

        listen to his lyrics jayz has no changed at all..

        this is the guy who was f****** FOX BRO2

      • ETONE August 29, 2013

        listen to his lyrics..

        ..

        jayz he has not changed at all..
        beyonce has been abused, slapped, gripped up by that thug she married for years..that is why she named her only daughter Blu Cantrel out of fear.

        this is the guy who was f****** and slapping FOX BROWN when she was 15….he is no Saint.

        violent yes..beyonce needs to get out like Rihanna did.

      • Tash August 29, 2013

  21. ETONE August 29, 2013

    beyonce should stop getting slapped around and called a b**** by jay and like Rihanna get a backbone and leave

  22. Tash August 29, 2013

    Dont be salty Rihanna got beat to a pulp and got no respect from child boyfriend fist Brown and kept running back. Its not Beyoncé and Jay Z, the happily married couples problem. You wish Beyoncé was getting beat, everyone knows Jay idolizes her. I hope one day Rihanna finds that stability and happiness.
