Kudos to team Rih for the continued clean-up of the ‘ANTI’ campaign. If anything is commendable amidst the chaos, it’s their perseverance.

My god the spin all the time. It’s OK to say a simple congrats. Lol.
That’s what’s up! Hopefully now she pledges her allegiance to black girls and BET because she often forgets to mention that she’s A BLACK GIRL! But kudos to her.. I just feel some type of way about the artist who make sure that young BLACK girls twerk to their music but the same artist never make a strong point to show the every day BLACK girl that they are actually relatable to one another! This is not a shot at her so NAVY back off I’m proud of this moment for her but she definitely has to start showing the black girls another relatable side of her , she has a platform and the Black community needs all black celebs especially women to get on board
Thank you so much for saying it. I’ve read countless posts where they shade that girl no matter her success. Get over it Grape Juice the people like the album no matter how flawed the drop was. Damn..haters!
The same BET she ignored for years? So funny how all of these girls suddenly remembered they were black. Beyonce isn’t exempt either.
B**** rih always stood up for African Americans but yall never f****** give her credit rih is not johnnie come lately like some of them hos who made money off whites then realize they ass black rih have been to black award shows so you sound stupid she always post stuff when police kill our black boys unlike your fav stay quiet in the background so all you haters congratulate don’t hate for one she has an organization for cancer in Barbados unlike your fav create organic food for the rich
@Rosy
You are probably white and you are trying to speak about “Our black boys” you don’t even sound like a black man or Woman! You are some little ignorant child who needs to FACT CHECK! Kudos to Rih for anything thing she has done big or small to help spread awareness for her “unformentioned” skin color! But don’t discredit and tell LIES about another “FAV” who has done HUGE things for the CAUSE! Like spend millions building homes for urban communities meeting and marching with the parents of “Our Black Boys” and etc don’t be a fool because you want to Stan ! Get your facts straight child
When has Rihanna ever stood up for African Americans? As far as I’m concerned, BET shouldn’t even be honoring her. What major contributions has she made to the our community? I’ll wait….
Rihanna has the diamond ball and her Lionel foundation that funds her country’s medical industry. Which predominantly black people. She helps people of color period! Doesn’t have to be African American. She isn’t from here like you guys like to say all the time. More over tidal just donated 1.5 million. Thank you Rihanna for support of flint. Rihanna does her charity look it up. She may not choose to exploit certain groups for relevancy; because that’s just wrong. But she is black. Any fetes or accomplishments she has made in the industry this far is commendable of praise. She is a black girl from the left side of an island. Now a mainstream mega star. bey make one song that wasn’t even her idea, exploits black lives, now she is an advocate. She did the samething with trey Martin. Showed up just to be seen. She is no better. But I give her credit because she does charity as well. Very good charities. Just let them both shine. You guys going to remain mad for a long time.
Beyoncé isn’t exempt from what ???? Beyonce is the most performed BET artist she performed 2002,3,5,6,7,9,(“live stream 11 as she was in Glastonbury, on tour in 13 and participated in the BET EXPERIENCE, live stream 14 cause she was on the run, and attended in 2012) on top of that she has been on 106 countless times and done had thanksgiving where ms.tina cooked, premiered her album and videos. So what’s really the tea ????????
Will she even attend though?

Anyways, I am happy that La’Britney has a post now!!
HASHTAG: #MyImpact
Let’s hope your “impact” gets her on the charts?
Tinashe has more TGJ exposure and still cant chart…. Let that sink in.
#ImpactWhere?
Let it sink in that she has a Theatre tour going on right now(SOLD OUT) and Cedric is still struggling to get his up.
https://youtu.be/oWLR3J4fG6o
Oh look, Nicki finally let her off her leash…. And why she touring to promote a album that will still do less FW than “Jackie”….
LA Reid dropped your fave because he was tired of getting 19K of fish plates. LOL HEHEHE!!!! I’m sorry but your fave is DONE! Jackie was the END and that’s just something you’re just going to have to DEAL with. 😉
HASHTAG: #MyFaveStaysBOOKED #RemainSteamPressedFOREVA

And why shouldn’t they? Every other fan base does the same for their artist!
Black Excellence at its best. Congrats Rihanna!
So glad to see Rih still winning ! All shows for ANTI WORLDTOUR have been sold out

American oxygen and not even from America oh the irony …..

Oh, WOW. This is wonderful. Congratulations Rihanna – I’m so happy for you
.
She is definitely a millenial Pop icon and she deserves all the accolades that come her way. 😉
It’s a shame she hasn’t attended a BET Awards in almost 10 years.
She did last year
Thank you.
Congrats i guess
So i was minding my own buisness shuffling through footage of the CANTi Tour & im literally floored at how pathetic it was. I would hav been BORED out of my mind. I saw NOTHING. I cant beive shes actually going on the road with that pathetic setlist. I just new she would surprise me and put on a great show but instead all i got was FRANKIE 2.0 meets Joseline Hernandez. PATHETIC just like Ciara & Kellys Theaters & Parking lots only tours. (Add in monica & tamar and the rest of the basics) has Bey taught them nothing.
Bey actually performs hq with zero budget.
http://youtu.be/XYr7QZJsYr4
Yawn! What is your point? If you just wanted to watch a Beyonce video then why did you type Rihanna? Makes no sense
Lovely news! Congrats to her 🙂 I think this is great coming from BET because ever since ‘that incident’, it appeared that they sided so much with he who shall not be named’ almost to point of disrespecting her. Rihanna is a modern day Rockstar so yeah… Perched for the looks she’ll serve that evening.
Work is number 1 for a 4th week congrats rih rih
Thank you! People seem to be so filled with hate that they’re missing that point!
She usually ignored bet though. I wonder if she’ll be there to accept this huge honor.
The Editor of this website is the most bias editor I have ever seen. You constantly try to downplay everything about Rihanna that is positive. First of all you are a liar the Anti tour opened up to rave reviews not lukewarm reviews I was at the opening show in Jacksonville and it was amazing so get you facts straight before you report.
I’m so glad rih is ignoring all the haters and paying them dust because they try and antagonize her to get into twitter war she is not paying these peasants no mind the navy will drag they ass these hos looking for free press azalea listen up your m***** ass will never be on any ones level but the bottom of the sewage so stay mad at rih because you can’t book a anywhere to perform call the zoo maybe they can help
Rihs dance moves are so corney btw, cant belive ppl pay to see her. She even looked a mess, even the staging was hideous. Get her fans atleast get their RIHFUNDS for the 2 shows canceled (so far) ?????
Diabetes…cut it out
This Black Girl does rock!
And your black girl FLOPS!

–
Paint It, Black

#93 Austria
#136 Switzerland
#189 Lebanon
How is this relevant when “Paint It Black” was a cover of a song and used to promote a film for a soundtrack? LMAO, U fail. Get Tinman a top 100 and then maybe people will start to take anything you say seriously
Still cant provide receipts that she was dropped…
–
Lol now u have reduced yourself by jumping on any new artist’ bandwagon to compare and bash Ciara, Your pathetic.
“All My Friends” is charting in the US little boy. Lol hehe!
–
SPOTIFY(This has the song moving up towards that chart)
#48 United States
–
Does Cedric have a song charting in the US? Let me know.
HASHTAG: #IamLIVING 😀
Ciara doesn’t have any songs out . I Bet went platinum. When will Tinashi#?5i UB
What chart would that be??? and please post receipts and keep it relevant to US Billboard HOT 100….
–
I’ll wait! LMAO
Keyword “Soundtrack”. That song should of ATLEAST cracked the bubbling charts since it’s being supported by a big movie. P.s it was on iTunes but it FAILED to go anywhere. #SissySquads impact! I can’t…. lol
–
You and the #SissySquad used Natalie La Rose & that Carmen girl against Tinashe and look at how that turned out.
–
Cedric has the BIGGEST CAREER DROP in music history. DEAL! 🙂
https://youtu.be/qn4zFeA-eDk
Lmao talking about songs getting released to iTunes and failing…. Lets talk about your faves last 4 Singles…. where are they? what did they do? Numbers wise? charts? Vevo views, Give me something girl… They wer Official Singles…. Start after she released “Pretend” Ok… Go!
But yet the Jackie tour was cancelled while Tinashe performs at SOLD OUT shows. Girl sit down. I’ll even help pull the chair out for you ??
@NavyCaptain I can’t with this dude. It’s already an embarrassment that he is comparing his 10+ years fave to a 2yrs newbie. LMFAO!
@#TeamTinashestan exactly. They don’t even make similar music. Their performance style is a little similar but vocally hands down Tinashe has CiCi beat. The shame is that Overdose was a certified bop off of her self-titled album and she still couldn’t make it happen with 10+ years of press. Nobody is checking for her and its proven.
Receipts that her Theater tour is sold out???
–
LMFAOOO Yall gone learn about spewing lies without receipts, you know Imma ask.
–
She has a date in my city and that shitt is NAWT sold Out! And tickets are Starting from: $25.00, Door Price: $30.00.
Plz save yourself the embarrassment.
I checked FaceBook and they have PLENTY of tickets available to be given away.
Were ANY of the Jackie shows sold out before cancellation?
Duckin and dodging all of my responses are we????
Kinda like how all of Tinmans singles after “2 On” have ducked and dodged Billboard US & RIAA.
Nice, congratulations Rih
oop, work is #1 for the 4th week…What’s up hive?
Did formation chart this week?
hahahahahaha, gurl you and I know Hilary Duff has got a higher chance of getting a top ten hit than formation charting
Kiiii but I thought Bey had so much impact and was the queen of music?
Of course it didn’t.
Yet ANTI is FLOPPING for the 7th WEEK… LMAO
Pathetic
http://youtu.be/OeXkRaL_jO8
Except it is not, according to HDD, Anti is #2 on the charts….still salty?
FLOP! It probably just passing the 300k mrk US & WW its already selling less than COLDPLAY.550k in nearly 2 months???
Rihanna is the only black woman to have a #1 hit this decade #BlackGirlsRock
FLOP 618k US in 3 days with no single or promo >>> 550k WW in 5 weeks with a Hit & decent Promo. How much is Anti tour expected to gross off 71 shows? Better be atleast $100 million. Isnt that what Bey did off 18 stadiums so far?
BEY is the only black woman to have a #1 Album this decade stay there for more than a wk
Jealous hive cant stand to see anyone else shine.
Say it again sis! ??
Anti was number 1
Anti was number 1, Beyonce was number 1. They’re both doing their thing. Congratulations
Congrats Rihanna,Blessed Queen?????grapejuice,smh
Congrats Rih! Work is #1 for a fourth consecutive week, and while Anti is #2. The tour opening got rave reviews from critics. Puma sales went up last quarter due to Rih”s collaboration. So proud of my girl. Rih just turned 28 in February, while Bey will be 35 in September. Rih set records and sold out stadiums years before Bey. Now Bey just now doing it solo which is great, y’all just need to stop knock Rib”s hustle. There can be more than one black females dominating the music biz.
Can Sam Ban LB,Molly and that diabetes catfish ffs
This is Beyonce’ slegacy
copycat, fraud, lying
and then making the music industry a competition, before her NOONE cared about #1 albums, what forbes says…that is all a diversoin from her CRAP music
Thankfully Rihanna knows that the MUSIC is what is most important
Slay a bit Rih. More and more accolades to add to your trophy room while the rest seethe! Congratulations Bajan Queen!!! ?????? This congratulations in no way takes away from the others’ accolades but I’m sure the haters will try to come for me.
Queen Molly?? says:

Did formation chart this week?

Wasn’t Tinashe suppose to be irrelevant after “2 On” since it’s her only SOLO hit on BB Hot 100? But yet, everyone and the #SissySquad are moving their lips uttering out the name TINASHE still? Hmmm….. you would think she would end up like Natalie La Rose and not be in discussions.
Don’t let these CSquad bums come for you sis. Tinashe’s music quality of music is blowing Ciara’s out of the water regardless of chart positions. They both had one single chart off of their last albums and Tinashe’s charted higher and sold more if we are going there. Ciara is turning into nothing more than a Kardashian hiring paparazzi to stay relevant. Keep your cool while they seethe.
EXACTLY! one little constructive criticism they take it as “Shade”. Smh, they watch RHOA too much.
BIH wait THE LIES…. I couldnt let this one slide..
–
“They both had one single chart off of their last albums and Tinashe’s charted higher and sold more if we are going there”
–
Bish WHEREEEEEEE when “I Bet” was the only platinum certified RnB single by a female in all of 2015, NOT u reaching YEEEARS back to ride on the success of “2 on” It was a banger yes, and certified platinum, yes, and charted in Top 30 yes, But Plz save your lies and hateful delusions. Ciara is just fine baby.
–
But in the words of Motha Janet jackson… “WHAT HAS SHE DONE FOR ME LATELY” Hunny? meaning 2015-Onward… she cant even release her album if she wanted to due to her label putting that a** on lockdown like she stole something. And if Her music quality was so superior, why aint she charting? or selling? And why is she releasing recycled trash that sounds dated, trying to regain her “2 On” steam that was only hot for a second due to its banging production…?
Yall be seeming so threatened by ciara, u stan for a new artist stan down for her, I LIVE! But dont try to discredit Ciara, thats where your wrong at, and will always be!
Then if Ciara’s music is so much better why hasn’t she charted either? Ciara had YEEEEAAARS under her belt and had much more time to build a fanbase yet her sales perform on Tinashe’s level, who is a newcomer with only one album under her belt.
I can shut u down with one word….. “Goodies” Debut…. LMFAOOFGBAJKBGFsjka
Lmao that’s how you tried to shut me down hoee? ?? I’m SCREAMING. We are taking it the whole way back to the olden days for you to try and prove Ciara’s relevancy. She is done. Im sure she is in the process of moving on to reality tv. CRASHED AND BURNED. ???
Funny how the pest called FourFive (#4), BBHMM (#14) and American Oxygen (#70ish) flops, yet they all charted and it been a month and Formation still can’t crack the hot 100 with streams and a video. She’s done. Meanwhile Work is #1 for the 4th week. What did Beyonce stop? Because Rihanna is killing the game right now.
.
Don’t bother commenting, I heard all the excuses. Save it, matter of fact, save Beyonce’s singles from flopping.
Please let them know Mark. I’m sure they will come with their repetitive, tiresome ass Wack rebuttals.
Watch out for them Cedric stans too…… actually nevermind. They need to talk ish about every artist to get people to discuss their fave. Don’t pay them no mind.
Hunny u would want somebody to discuss your fav…. Dont LMAO
I don’t mean any shade by this but I literally don’t know who Cedric is. Can someone inform me?
Cedric is the man who ejaculated in a cup so @TeamTinashe could be born ?
I’m sorry to inform the forever steam pressed #SissySquad I applaud your homeboy Ciara aka Cedric Hamilton with the accolades he has achieved but the fact is:
1) Has any of the achievements helped Cedric from flopping these days? No.
2) Will the Superbowl consider Ciara to perform halftime at this point? No. Why? 19K of fish plates after 10 YEARS simply answers that.
–
HASHTAG: #BeREAL
Shade is, all the girls that came out with Ciara have all flopped atleast twice… Whether its in Albums/Charts/Singles/Tours…. Yet your fav is a new chick, and u coming for her superiors as if you have receipts for days… Ciaras debut is enough to shut all that s*** completely up. “I bet” is proof that she not done either. So stay mad baby, All this energy should be spent getting your girl a seat at the table, and not in the parking lot alley.
Tinashe is NEW and she has alot of time for failure. Stop trying to come for new female talent because Ciara is on the DECLINE.
Ciara is struggling to finish the “JACKIE” tour due to poor sales and him being DROPPED by Epic Records.
–
While Tinashe is currently on her SECOND 47 date WorldWide Tour for “JOYRIDE” and the album is coming soon. And she just went PLATINUM once again with “All My Friends” 🙂
Cedric came out in 2004! A great time for “R&B”. Using that as a drag against Tinashe who came in 2014. Is invalid and I am lmao with that.
–
Of course Cedric would SELL that was 2004 dummy lol hehe! Why don’t use the stats from 2014 to now instead? You can’t because there is NOTHING!
–
Your fave will soon join you at McDonald’s giving out cheeseburgers once Russell let’s go of him. BYE!
HASHTAG: #IWin #AsUsual 😀

OMG I am dead to the mother f****n bed!!! You crack me up Tinashe stan. You better read!
Nice for Robyn rihanna
Dont see why. Her writers should be honered.
RIHANNA CANNT SING(live)–
SHE CANNT DANCE–
SHE CANNT WRITE HER OWN SONGS– SHE CANNT PLAY A MUSIC INTRUMENT–
ONLY THING Rihanna IS GOOD IN IS SINGING OTHER PEOPLE(writers) NUMBER ONES. FACTS.
Rihanna is the Kim Kardashian of the music industry, no talent just someone with a lot of luck(right time at the right place).
Would never waste my money on Rihanna.
The knowledge is rather intriguing.|
