We don't give a **** about no damn streams

The fact that she was able to produce a good record, have a well executed release campaign, and a number one album 44 years into her career is unbelievable. Almost all her peers are either dead or retired so this can't be a gotcha moment

It's one of her best songs, so yes.

She's too sweet for that.

She should drag him harder considering all he's said about her and her family these past seven years or so

Now imagine what they'd say if they saw your peak posting posts?

She has 32 top ten hits and has spent 360 weeks inside the top ten (which I still think is the most for any female artist, Taylor and Mariah might be closing in though I don't know).

And all of them being of different genres and still getting around 400K daily streams and above despite the most recent one being from 10 years ago. A real hitmaker

Also breaking out into pop superstardom with huge commercial success is hard as hell. People assume just because Rihanna did it that anyone else can and they're proven wrong each and every single time. The fact that her team and stans thought they could be able to do it off of the success of a few TikTok hits shows how out of touch they are. There were no real hits this era, no actual connection the masses had with her or her music and they managed to convince themselves that viral hate tweets against Rihanna during the Met fiasco automatically meant support for Tyla and now they have pie in their face since A*Bomb will be lucky to have a second week on the BB 200 at this rate

You're clicking DOWN with these tired reads, the same way A*Chop is doing. Is this what you'll be posting too next week or two when it drops off the BB 200?

And I'm not saying you're not. I'm just more surprised with two things: 1.) Queer people, who fill this forum, being the ones out of everyone to uphold outdated sexuality conventions 2.) People like you who are fans of hers or have been following her career being shocked by this. This is the same person who was banned from Instagram for posting her Lui Magazine spread in certain nude poses, has been grinding and whining for the most part of her career. So how could you possibly be caught off guard by this? This is rather tame considering some of the things she's done

That's what whining and daggering is literally This is a normal occurrence during carnival and dancehall performances: https://youtube.com/shorts/-lK1A4XkM2I?si=VkWDoi_keYovQs80 Is it raunchy? Absolutely. But given the context where it was done, during a carnival and not on a random street in New York on a random Tuesday, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this. Rihanna has literally been doing this for years too, so why the sudden outrage

I genuinely think there's some cultural dissonance or the people in this thread are trolling A simple public whine can't be having y'all clutching your pearls like this. And Rihanna has been doing this on stage (with her partners, as she did with Drake years ago) or during carnival for YEARS. I'm just realizing some of you might be serious with your posts and not only is it hypocritical (gays being the moral police of sexuality, I haven't even seen the heterosexuals react to these clips like this ) it's very much a part of Rihanna's culture her being from the Caribbean

All the homosexuals being scandalized by a little whine and daggering in public like they haven't done worse?
