Fanta Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Pretty much all women are forced against each other in the music industry. We see it time and time again there’s like a million examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Z OT: Of course they are very different. If they weren't, they wouldn't have been able to coexist so well. However, the comparisons make sense because they are both mainstream Black female artists with global appeal. Plus the Jay z connection. They will always be compared, but it doesn't matter because they're both legends now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor2000 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I mean…when Rihanna first debuted she was aesthetically heavily inspired by Bey. But she diverged with GGGB (and further with Rated R) + everything after. So, it all ended up fine for both in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I remember that Rihanna and Jay-z were linked, and then 'Ring the Alarm' came out and people thought that it was a response to the cheating rumor which only fed their supposed rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BnPac Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 It's because of that outlandish affair planted by Ri's team lbr. It was on every gossip rag and more and more rumor were piled on that : being thrown down the stairs etc. They have nothing in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeezytaughtme Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Both are the most popular black, R&B-pop female singers that collab with rappers a lot, and their biggest song is with Jay-Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetkiss Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I dont understand to this DAY. if anything rihanna is only similar to akon (vocally) but its pretty often comparing two WOMEN. I rarely seen it with men even when they are blank copy of each other!!!! sexism and racism in this case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassi Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 If I’m being DEADASS? It’s because it was more convenient than admitting that Rihanna took Britney’s place as the pre-eminent pop princess. Especially after the release of Umbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popularmoonlight Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 18 hours ago, RihFenty20 said: Rihanna's music is also overwhelmingly R&B (albeit not tradition R&B if that's what you're referring to), her singles are mostly of the genres you listed but if you have listened to her albums you'd know that most of the time at least half of her albums were R&B. only LOUD was the closest thing to a pure pop album. Did you just call her a wh*re? she has had like 5 relationships. (Chris (x2), Aubrey (x2) Matt Kemp, Hassan and now Rocky). All of her relationships have lasted years. (except Chris the 2nd time). The media linking her to every man she happened to be around doesn't mean she had relations with said people. This part always took me out because they've moved the same amount of albums globally. (Rihanna has moved more outside of the USA). Rihanna's issue is her overwhelming single success makes it seem like she doesn't sell albums when she averages 4.5M pure per album Basically they both happened to be afro-descended, linked to Jay Z and also happened to be very dominant commercial acts. Of course the comparisons were going to fly. In the same way Beyonce was compared to Aaliyah and Ashanti. And Rihanna was compared to Cassie, Teirra, and Amerie when she first debuted. You honestly got all the points you quoted wrong lol OT: They're black woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
