Rihanna has taken a personal and unfortunate situation and capitalized on it in so many ways. Her personal and professional life have become intertwined in many facets. She puts things out there that will inevitably get folks talking, then once they start talking, she gets upset and defensive. Her doing a song with Brown was clearly a strategic/business move…this is what artist must do when raw genuine talent is not what is driving their success…They need these antics to stay relevant.

Music is music. Music is not sex, relationships, and life. Music could be about those topics but it’s up to the writer and the performer to build the story of the songs to make a successful product. It’s up to us, the listeners to form our OWN connections to the songs. Not try to decode the message of the song. We are not Rihanna and we are not Chris. Therefore, everyone should move on from that situation because it’s obvious that they have. All you people criticizing them, live your life and create your own music and stories. You guys might be a little happier.

she does have a point. who is asking chris brown about this? i hate how sexism is seen as women’s problem.

+ we all know she doesn’t write her own songs and/or choose when to release them. she is doing her job, which happens to include occupying a problematic role in the pop music scene (as is the case with all female performers).

People will forget about the incident once you stop reminding them about it i.e. putting out music that obliquely references it and recording new songs about having sex with your former abuser. She’s not stupid, she knew that collaborating with Chris Brown would get people talking; she just wants to control the conversation. And she can’t.

I’m just saying, like, how can you be a ‘rebel’ when you’re a mainstream pop icon? Lol, neck tattoos don’t make you badass. Just trashy.
