Rihanna is apparently tired of people asking her to drop her new album, especially as the coronavirus pandemic continues its rampage across the globe.
On Friday night (April 10), the Barbadian star issued a stern warning to her fans via Instagram Live and reminded them there are more serious issues that need attention. She simultaneously took a stab at Donald Trump.
“If one of y’all muthafuckas ask me about the album one more time when I’m trying to save the world, unlike y’all president … on sight!”
During the same IG Live session — which she dubbed the “Fenty Social Club Party” — RiRi and Lil Uzi Vert both lit up some weed as they danced to Uzi’s 2016 cut “Money Longer.”
While it looked like the pandemic was the furthest thing from Rihanna’s mind, her focus has very much been on the current global crisis.
Late last month, Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation donated $5 million to combating the virus. The non-profit’s Twitter account revealed the money would be split between Partners In Health, Direct Relief, Feeding America, International Rescue Committee, World Health Organization (WHO) and RiRi’s home country of Barbados.
Then in April, she and JAY-Z donated another $2 million to COVID-19 relief efforts. Hov’s mother, who serves as the CEO of the Shawn Carter Foundation, issued a statement explaining why it was necessary to step up.
Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation Donates $5M Towards Coronavirus Relief
“In times of crisis, it is imperative that we come together as one community to ensure that everyone, especially the most vulnerable, has access to critical needs: shelter, health, nutrition and education,” Carter said in a press release. “The only way to get through this pandemic is with love and action.”
Organizations receiving money from the donations include Mayor’s Fund for L.A., Fund for Public Schools, American Civil Liberties Union and the New York Immigration Coalition.
Lol yes, it’s our presidents fault. The hell does she think she has a platform and a following for? For her MUSIC. I swear these artists Don’t use their heads
MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT THAN AN ALBUM RELEASE. AN ARTIST LIKE RHIANNA AINT DROPPING DURING COVID19 AS SHE NEEDS THE PROPER ROLLOUT. TOUR, SPONSERS, ETC. NO ONE IS GIVING OUT THAT KIND OF BREAD RN.
This girl is so overrated. Does she even write her own songs?
Shut up bitch
Why is it the presidents fault, the pandemic is all over the whole planet!!!!, She is just so dumb, obviously it’s always somebody to blame.
Fuck you and trump bitch. Eat a phat dick
Hard to believe people as dumb as you exist. Yes moron the pandemic is global but the way the US president HANDLES it directly affects us, same way the Italian President is responsible for any fuck-ups that happen in Italy. This is why we have a government in the first place, to protect us fairly and equally when shit like this hits the fan. Really surprised you’ve made it this far being so goddamn stupid
Fuck you ash holes blaming Trump. The Demoncrats were busy with their fake investigations, stealing tax payer money and their phony impeachment BS. So while they were impeaching him, they were setting him up for this Corona Wuhan Shhhhit. They’re in China’s pocket. Wake the fuk up, you simple minded idiots. He wanted to stop flights from China first and was called names. Democrats are the enemy of the people.
Nobody is begging for your pop sounding radio friendly non political cheesy love songs
She’s not wrong.
She should probably be grateful that she lives in a time where standards are so low that her “music” is actually in demand.
“Asking me about the album when I’m tryna save the world” What an entitled little b*tch. Get off your high horse. You aint saving anything.
Mate she’s donated over $7 million to aid in the fight against covid 19, how is she not putting in the work? “Entitled little bitch”? I think you need to re-up your thoughts and opinions before making dumb ass statements like that.
Seriously though, so many people are dying right now, please think more of how to ensure the people around you are keeping safe and supporting loved ones through simple methods I.e washing hands and social distancing. This is more important right now than being the guy who likes to measure his dick through social media Bravado and negative web site commenting…
mate it cost 2 trillion dollar a month to aid americans in this crisis. 7 Million Dollars wont buy every american a Snickers bar. She aint saving americans and specially not the World. She should remember the reason she is here for and only thing she is good for, singing Songs talented artist write and produce for her. #ShutUpAndDribble
yoooo my man ihc just murked slapz
Unknown, how the F do you know this loud mouthed hooker RiRi actually followed through and donated? These celebrities talk a lot of trash but rarely show any action. I can say I donated money too and collect praise yet offer NO proof. Celeb culture is a psyop. Nothing they do is real.
geez I would smoke weed too but I will be addicted again… I learnt my lesson!
ive stopped weed several times for a year or more each time, weed isnt that addictive try Opana or Xanax at high doses for years then get off that. Pussy..
no one is as cool as “j”………….. hardo
Remember when RiRi here tweeted out #FreePaIestine ? She was quick to claim she got hacked and then apologise. It’s almost as those who control the music industry are against what she tweeted, weird, i wonder why ?
Nah, its almost like she is a dumb broad who talks before she thinks.
And I am fed up with rihanna.
who cares about this fuckin antisemitic trash “artist”
She wants to save the world…self proclaimed friends of Monsters aren’t capable of that.
All the morons here thinking celebs are really donating are hilarious. You probably watched Cribs on MTV and thought all those rented houses were really where the celebs lived. They have everything loaned to them. Big head bimbo Rihana is just a name she sells and slap me on products the masses might or might not buy. I don’t know if her net worth is real or not, do you? It’s all fake. If you believe any of this, you’re a gullible fool.
“Unlike ya’ll president.” bich you got rich in this country and lucky jay-z was head of def jam when you was coming up. no one is peeping that no RiRi. you fuckin rere
To be fair we should let her chill cuz remember Lauryn hill we waiting for her second album if u don’t count figures and don’t count those other ones.
But her fans r fans of her Music. Like they ain’t fans primarily of her saving the world.
But I guess she sees this as selfish.
Iono I can understand both points of view ithink both r valid. Wen ppl often locked indoors they GNA Want more content ? But have fans been pressurising her day much? Maybe it’s ppl like Drake n media more than her fans bothering her.
Or maybe cus her grandad unwell she stressed :0/ n lashed out. Can’t blame her rlly. Fair enuf frlly. Plus,in her head, she ain’t musician. In her head she CEO, make up, book, fashion, charity etc. Music prolly ain’t even priority. Streams don’t make ppl rich. Tours do. But clothing and makeup do way more?n if she rich AF she can donate mo to help ppl I guess is da logic. Trump aint gna help Barbados. He ain’t even helpin new york. Imo.
” I’m trying to save the world ” Smh the arrogance of these fucking celebrities is astounding.
This why Democrats taking over
It’s great that these celebrities are helping out. Problem is, when you act all self-righteous and make statements like “I’m trying to save the world”, you make yourself look like a total asshole. It completly over shadows whatever goodwill you had built at that point.
I know for a fact Rihanna donated money. She pay all her models she use for shows and campaigns. If you have a voice like hers to save this fucked up world you should. Maybe she don’t want to be a singer anymore it’s her fucking choose. She’s successful and don’t gotta do shit but she still is helping. What tf Kayne & Kim doing??? Rihanna is fucking annoyed just like I am cause y’all don’t understand our ppl are dying every got damn day. ALL of you pray and stfu.
