At the end of the day Rihanna is living better than any of these young unintelligent queens arguing over HER "Icon" status. Remember Rihanna has 13 #1's on U.S. Billboard Hot 100, more than Madonna, Beyonce, The Supremes, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, and Janet Jackson... oh and Beyonce' since her name was brought up, so yes she is an ICON... even if she never gets another #1, she is one of "The Greats". She may not be your cup of tea, but being disrespectful and tearing someone apart that you don't know is what is wrong with this world today. We do it to celebs, we do it to each other. Beyonce is an Icon and Rihanna is an Icon.... and both are eating better than all of you, so worry about your own $$$, how many records you haven't sold, and how many awards you will never receive, because you will waste your life away trolling behind a computer instead of using your own talents to be successful, too consumed with being destructive to others. So sad.....
