He doesn’t get enough credit for it, but Jay Z‘s hand in Pop reaches far further than the odd collaboration with his wife Beyonce.

From birthing the careers of Rihanna and Rita Ora, overseeing Christina Milian’s last album at Def Jam to pushing Ne-Yo to chart heights upon the release of ‘So Sick’, the Pop culture icon is no stranger to crafting or pushing Urban jams to the Pop heavens.

Yesterday, fans of ‘The Final Goodbye’ singer rejoiced in the news that Rihanna‘s ‘Stay’ had become the highest selling ballad by a black female artist, in the US.

Retweeting a fan who shared this information with fans, the performer came under heavy praise from her supporters for nabbing the record, and ultimately snatching it from Beyonce and her heartfelt jam, ‘Halo‘.

Unfortunately, much like the second #1 album she’s yet to score, it emerged that the so called record did not exist- with records by Whitney Houston, Beyonce and Tracy Chapman trumping sales scored by ‘Stay’.

Behold the mess that is former Fefe Dobson impersonator Rihanna, caught on camera making a spectacle of herself in Poland over the weekend.

Arriving to support R&B royal Miguel at the Open’er Festival, the Pop star faced the ultimate shame when staff at the venue were forced to escort her out of the spot….thanks to the amount of alcohol she allegedly downed while there.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t alone in this.

For, seemingly just as drunk as she were her best friend Melissa Forde and assistant Jennifer Rosales, stumbling away like three blind mice- aided by security who tried their best to keep them on their feet.

Alas, this was to no avail.
