But the real shade is.....who is he?

He has the same amount of #1 albums (three) and #1 singles (five) in the UK as Rihanna.

And yet the bigger act is? What about album and single sales. Anyone can get a #1 album or single, not everyone can maintain it

She's never been a role model, nor does she she need to be, nor should she be.
Although, she did try to be one for a minute. And we saw how that turned out.

^people saying she doesn't want to be a role model forget that.

People need to stop trying to pressure these celebs into being role models. Let them do what makes them happy. Who says they should have to conform to what you want them to say and do?

Well Rihanna herself realized the importance of her influence on her younger fans--see the 20/20 interviews.

This relaxed attitude about Rih being a role model when she unfortunately is one is just....

But oh well.

Right.

Exactly, she knows she's a role model.

Had Will Young talked about the Birthday Cake thing, he'd have a point. His argument about her not singing the kind of lyrics he wants her to reeks of hatred disguised as feminism.

But yet his name remains unknown to the majority of the World. Unlike the Queen.

He has never been promoted outside of the UK and certain parts of Europe though.

That was mainly the US media. They love that victimised ****.

It's true, though. Rihanna was trashed on Loose Women earlier today as well.

Poor people !!! Rihanna is a singer not a teacher nor mum ! And Gaga is dirtier than riri pleaseee !

[Cap10Planet]

Rihanna wanted to be a 'role model' when it was convenient. When she realized that all that "girls look up to me" mess she spoke about on 20/20 didn't sell "Russian Roulette" or Rated R, she stopped using the failed tactic. So, I have no idea what some of this "she doesn't want to be a role model" stuff is coming from.

[i spit on haters]

I think it's best to simply ignore her antics. It's safe to say that Rihanna wants to be "the black Madonna" (lol)
so she's clearly being over the top just for the sake of being over the top with little to no substance to back it up.

[Deemy]

They expect so much from her

[LP54]

I agree that RiRi is not the best role model but what parent lets their child idolize Rihanna anyway?
