When she isn’t splitting opinions on her stadium heavy ‘Diamonds World Tour’, Rihanna oft enjoys downtime in the location the show takes both she and her entourage.
This time? That location was South Africa- which saw the stunning star strike many a sweet pose during a trip to the safari, captured in an Instagram video below!
Good times with the Pop royal below…

I don’t know who Max is but yass at everything else. Rita is too busy dying her hair to ever be a threat to the Queen.
Goat Queen meeting goat ????? 😀
You’re lying, Rita hasn’t got any friends called Max.
Shows how well you know your fave doesn’t it? My tea is real and my tea is true boo. Do your research. Rita and her have been friends for a long time and people in the game have been saying that all they have in common is their love for the peen.
Just ask Big Sean.
But BS is engaged.
‘Word on the street is that she’s been hanging around with a known w**** called Max who f**** her way to get ahead in the industry.’
Is Max a singer too?
Yall are mean as all f*** for exposing this girl’s business like this. A friend of mine works with Sean so Ive heard this Max girl’s name thrown around too but this is so wrong how you put her business out there like that.
Yall need to get off ritas nuts
I emailed TGJ and told them to delete your comment so jokes on you you mean b****.
@RitaGoulding you must be Rita for real…Lame your on this site b*tch
what was the tea on max and rita ?
@RihannaIsBiggerThanBeyonceEverWas The tea is that people are worried about the company Rita is keeping, because Max is a known industry prostitute who sleeps with rappers and radio execs.

Model with a mic forsure… b**** cant really sing but looks great.
Shes hot without even trying her and Beyonce are definitely the prettiest black woman in music right now everything about them is hot s*** & fresh.
The prettiest black female musicians imo
1.) Rihanna
2.) Beyonce
3.) Christina Milian
4.) Ciara
5.) Keyshia Cole (I think she so underrated in the looks department)
6.) Monica
7.) Nicki
8.) Keri hilson
9.) Kelly Rowland
10.) Brandy
IM GOING NUMB
Keshia is so beautiful, and has great features,she
sounds good, and could eaisely be the most beautiful
woman in the world.
Monica is prettier than Keyshia Cold
Btw She looks her best with black hair.
She’s so beautiful and that body is amazing.
Rita has so much potential but i think she’s more in love with the celebrity lifestyle than music. When it comes to Max I’m not even going to say anything because I’ve heard lots of stories about her and always wondered how someone who doesn’t sound too smart got her own radio show.
who is max?
Noting like work hard and play hard
for a working girl.
Rih is cute without makeup, and gorgeous with it.
LIES! That w**** is NOT cute without makeup
I think people forget that Rih is a 25 year old young woman. She looks like she is having fun, traveling the world and doing what all of us would do if we were in her position. She looks flawless.
Stunning!!! She doesn’t have to try.
The first pic is STUNNING!!!!
Oh is she meeting a new vocal coach there??!!
ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN)
Chill u r having a Meltdown.
LOL! Is that how your interpreted my comment? Mk….
NOT Rita and her slutty friends being exposed.
tell me. WHAT IS GOING DOWN.
Phuck Yo Tour is Melissa Forde.
I clocked that s*** a long time ago.
P**!
When will Ciara?
Ciara is better.
The gp disagrees f**
Shortly the tour will be a wrap,and it will be on to
some MORE MUCH NEEDED R&R.
I cannot believe what I am reading here but i am not surprised, a lot of girls in the industry sleep around but Rita needs to cut this girl loose if this is true.
Who said she was cute without makeup? The f****** LIES don’t make me pull up a youtube receipt!
Where Overdose on the charts
B**** stop stalking me
All these people talking about Rita are the same person. When don’t care about that washed up flop slag!!
Why would they be the same person if they’re dragging her.
Wait is it true that Ciara and Beyonce are both pregnant right now?
And Rihanna looks hot.
She is enjoying herself just like the females her age
usually are seen doing.
She have a tough mind set.
Let Rita do what she wants yall always worried bout someones s** life.
Rihanna should do a mixture of black & red hair i think that would be hot on her.
Overrated

DIRTY LAUNDRY
While u r posting b/s you need to keep trying to make
your fave career keep happening.
You are so simple minded,and are willing to settle
for kibble and bits, when there are lamb chops, salads and fine
wines to be Enjoyed.
And keep them “Cheers” going up for Ri while she finishes her Tour and settle back to decorate that Villa & Penthouse.,
and get ready to get into her Movies shes making with
others.
It will never be about all the crowns she
can wear, but how she is able to do tours
and make Loud drum beats on the music
charts.
SHUT UP
MIUSTUPID
Bitter Bytch Syndrome,seek help!!
Rihanna is talentless s*** who should be fined for impersonating a singer.
REAL
1-800-RIRI-HITS
REAL
Her Rap sheet says u r a liar.
She know howto keep people engaged!
So sad this girl is all about looks she aint even that pretty! Whats going to happen when she starts to age or has a kid and cant get her body back. She will NOT be able to sell shes been all about image with nothing to back up. Sad Times.
So glad I stan for talent.
MONICA FAN
She is still taking her lemons and making
lemon aide.
Ri is Raunchy,erotic,and a s** symbol,in case
you are looking for a church lady you have
missed your turn some place back up the road
some place.
Phuck you TGJ! How dare you delete my comment, have you never heard of freedom of speech. I will KEEP on spreading what I heard about Rita and her slutty friend and there’s nothing you can about it.
Instead of deleting my comment why not ask Rita why she has friends who sleep their way through the industry just to get radio jobs. HUH? Why don’t you do that witcho wack asses.
Hard at work as usual. This girl needs to take a break! Lol
I hope you are being sarcastic.
You stan for a flop baby making machine
So do you minus the baby making. And Monica stays true to her roots shes not a sell out like your squid faced lil kim impersonator whos still flopping.
Didn’t she murder her ex bf in a graveyard?
no
@Nicki He killed himself . Knowledge is key
Sure he did Richie rich
@Nicki
It was on July 18, 2000 that Monica’s boyfriend Jarvis Weems suicided. But this has come alive now. I meant about the case. According to the mother (Tyra Weems) of Monica’s dead boyfriend, Monica isn’t telling the full truth about the death of Jarvis Weems. According to Monica, Jarvis called her and told her to meet him at the grave site of his brother. When the R&B singer Monica arrived, Jarvis was in his car with the doors locked. He then killed himself.
Investigation:
There was an investigation done about the death of Jarvis Weems and there were witnesses at the sight, according to sources. It was ruled that the gun Monica had, never discharged a bullet.
PART 2
In 1999 the future looked bright indeed for Monica, the fresh-faced t*** R&B queen who had just scored a Grammy and was about to star in her first movie. But in the ensuing years Monica was beset by a litany of woes—including the s****** of her ex-boyfriend, her best friend’s death and another ex-lover’s arrest on murder charges—that derailed her career and left her in a state of severe depression. “Most people I loved are either dead or in jail,” she says. “For a while it was one day at a time. I didn’t eat, didn’t sleep or drink. I wondered how I would ever heal.”
Now back from her long season in despair, Monica, 22, says inner peace came thanks to her Christian faith, her close-knit family and her music. On her new CD After the Storm—which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart—she addresses the trauma of seeing ex-boyfriend Jarvis Weems, 24, kill himself in July 2000. Weems, who Monica says was despondent over family matters, phoned her from the cemetery where his brother was buried. When she arrived he asked her to look after his two daughters and shot himself in the head while sitting in his locked car. “It hurts so bad that I had to choose,” she sings in “I Wrote This Song,” “If I want to live/Or die with you.”
Insisting she never contemplated s******, Monica says the lyric describes a crisis of faith. “My meaning was not physically to die, but I knew I had to make a conscious choice to really live my life,” she says. The track “U Should’ve Known Betta” is about another ill-fated relationship, with rapper C Murder (Corey Miller, 32, the brother of hip-hop star Master P), whom she dated before Weems. Miller is now in jail facing second-degree murder charges for the January 2002 shooting death of a 16-year-old in Louisiana. Monica maintains his innocence, but denies that the two are still involved. “You see how she handles things, and it kind of breaks your heart,” says music mogul Dallas Austin, a friend. “The average person wouldn’t have been able to take it without totally losing themselves.”
But the singer born Monica Arnold was never average. The daughter of airline employee Marilyn Best, 51, and mechanic M.C. Arnold Jr., 55, who divorced in 1987, Monica was raised in River-dale, Ga., with her brother Montez, 19, an aspiring music producer, by their mother and stepfather, Rev. Edward Best, a Methodist minister. She joined the church choir at 2 and began touring with a local gospel group at 10; at 12 she was signed by Austin’s Rowdy Records. While still in high school Monica scored back-to-back No. 1 R&B hits off her 1995 multiplatinum debut album, Miss Thang. And in 1998 “The Boy Is Mine,” her Grammy-winning duet with Brandy, spent a record 13 weeks atop Billboard’s pop chart. “By the time I turned 19,” she says, “I was really starting to establish myself, just really becoming a woman.”
But even as she costarred with Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jason Biggs in the 2000 t*** comedy Boys and Girls, real life was a far cry from the reel image. First Weems’s brother Troy, 23, died in a 1998 car wreck. Then her cousin and best friend, Selena Glenn, 25, died from a brain aneurism. “I was still dealing with those two incidents,” she says, “when Jarvis’s life took some turns that made him feel like he really didn’t want to live.”
Distraught for months afterward, she often spent as much as four hours a day at Weems’s grave, she says. The onslaught of bad news continued with the death of her grandmother and the accusations against Miller. While friends encouraged her to seek professional help, Monica says she “chose spiritual guidance,” provided in-house by her stepfather. With the support of family and friends who were happy to “live, sleep and eat with me until I got through it,” Monica recalls, she eventually emerged from her despair, eager to resume the therapeutic work of recording. “I admire her strength, but I’m also careful because no one can be so strong,” says her mother, Marilyn. “We are watchful. We just all try to be there.”
Living in a mansion near Macon, Ga., Monica now spends her free time going to movies and ferrying her friends’ children to school and soccer matches. “They’re my biggest joy,” she says. As for venturing into a new relationship, she’s understandably cautious. “I’m real comfortable with my situation and very happy,” she says, declining to name the man she’s been seeing for two years. Even so, she’s anxious to start a brood of her own. “Without question,” she says, “I’m definitely wife material.”
You’re being sarcastic RIGHT?

Rihanna owns your a@#
and your Posse, of numb nuts
I THINK not, that would be you doll. Why is it you can’t stay on topic boo. I got you taking trip all around the world.
Why Beyonce rules the world:
She looks like a supermodel, sings like an angel and, as far as we’ve seen, aces everything she tries her perfectly formed hand at.
Some of the following observations might apply to her various contemporaries but all of them can be said only of her. Independent women and gentlemen, here The Shortlist presents seven reasons why Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter is truly one of a kind.
1. She has long transcended her mega-selling group
Incredibly, it is 11 years since the woman who now proudly calls herself Mrs Carter released her first solo single, the dirty funk grind Work It Out, for the soundtrack to the third Austin Powers movie, Goldmember.
Before that, in the dim and distant days before Twitter, Facebook and even Myspace (ask your parents), she was the shining light of all-girl outfit Destiny’s Child, which sold tens of millions of albums worldwide, won scores of awards and helped make modern R&B one of the strongest forces in pop.
That Beyonce went on to become even bigger on her own might have surprised nobody but it was a substantial achievement nonetheless. ”I worked so hard during my childhood to meet this goal,” the 32-year-old told GQ this year.
”By the time I was 30 years old, I could do what I want.” Also, if you bring into consideration the quality of DC’s tunes, Queen Bey’s reunion with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams at this year’s Super Bowl was infinitely more impressive than Justin Timberlake and those NSync muppets at the MTV Video Music Awards.
2. She has been more than ”just” a singer from the beginning
Don’t get us wrong – being a great singer is nothing to be sniffed at and Beyonce can bust a lung with the best of them.
However, she also contributed to the songwriting on Destiny’s Child’s eponymous 1998 debut and got her first production credit on follow-up The Writing’s on the Wall.
By third album Survivor her fingerprints in both capacities were on every original song. The triple-whammy of singles Jumpin’ Jumpin’, Independent Women Part 1 (the song DC did for the first Charlie’s Angels flick) and Survivor won Beyonce the Songwriter of the Year award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in 2002.
”I love my job,” she told GQ, ”but it’s more than that. I need it.”
3. She is a role model to women famous and otherwise
In a world where prominent female pop stars from Madonna to Miley Cyrus have often arguably gone too far with their sexually provocative antics to sell their wares, Beyonce has always known where to draw the line.
Sure, she was Bootylicious long before the term ”twerk” became commonplace, and she has hardly shied away from revealing outfits over the years, but there has always been a certain elegance to her presentation, as well as the sense she is always in charge.
”I’m always thinking about women and what we need to hear,” she says in this year’s documentary/puff piece Beyonce: Life is but a Dream.
Ad Feedback In a recent interview, teenage sensation Lorde singled her out as a rare pop star she looks up to: ”I think Beyonce is pretty cool,” Lorde said. ”She’s got that attitude of, like, doing things for the girls.
4. But she is also a little bit bonkers
Performers talk all the time about ”becoming someone else when they’re on stage”.
So while it was no surprise to hear Beyonce say something similar in 2008, it was a bit of a shock to find out she’d not just given her alter ego a crazy sobriquet but that she’d made a high-concept double album and named it after her.
I Am … Sasha Fierce featured two of Beyonce’s best-loved tunes in the hyperactive Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) and the sublime Halo.
Some 18 months later, her credentials as someone with eccentric tendencies were further enhanced by her collaboration with bona fide fruit loop Lady Gaga on Telephone. And then Beyonce ”killed” Sasha Fierce, to boot.
5. She knows how to handle herself
Embarrassing clips from Beyonce gigs are all over the internet – of our heroine slipping on stairs while performing, getting her hair caught in an electric fan, being slapped on the backside and hugged/dragged off stage by perhaps a more dangerous kind of fan.
But watch on and you’ll see how she picks herself up and resumes flinging herself about after the fall; or continues singing without missing a note while her flunkies try to free her hair; or how she coolly but sweetly tells off the bum-slapper and quickly forgives the overzealous hugger.
So classy is Beyonce, the show always goes on. ”I now know that, yes, I am powerful,” she told GQ.
”I’m more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand.”
She may have been talking about her status as an artist, rather than her physical strength, but still don’t try and grab her on her Australian tour – you might come off second best.
6. Look! Up on the screen!
The handful of acting roles Beyonce has taken on have, broadly speaking, found her adding a bit of high-wattage glamour and personality to mainstream comedies (Goldmember, 2002; The Pink Panther, 2006) or relying heavily on her singing talents (The Fighting Temptations, 2003; Cadillac Records, 2008).
Her Golden Globe-nominated performance as a young Diana Ross-like ingenue in Dreamgirls (2006) showed she could genuinely act, while her role as a woman trying to protect her marriage from her husband’s stalker in Obsessed (2009) suggested she was keen to branch out of her comfort zone.
”I realised that if anything is too comfortable, I want to run from it,” she told W magazine in 2011 of her role choices. ”It’s no fun being safe.”
7. She literally has it all
Career? I think we’ve covered that. Happy marriage to an independently successful megastar? Check Jay-Z’s ever-wide grin.
Motherhood? Check Beyonce’s own grin. (Although perhaps not her toddler’s when she’s old enough to realise her parents called her Blue Ivy.)
”That’s what life is,” the pop icon, wife and mother says in Beyonce: Life Is But a Dream. ”It’s the greatest show on earth.”
