Do you think Rihanna is mean and rude?

[mic 1,415]

I think she got lost somehow becoming so famous at so early age. But then she found weed and bad boys and became constantly chilled out. She's like normal girl with addictions but the difference is she has tons of money. To me, when I listen to her it feels like she was empty inside, but maybe that's the way she protects herself.

She can be nice but she can be really cruel too

[Decodekid 27,713]

that's a part of being Rihanna 

[StrawberryBlond 14,452]

Of course she is. Haven't liked her in years. Her album, Good Girl Gone Bad, really was an apt name because it's at this point she stopped being a sweet girl. Chris beating her really did have an effect on her because it was after Rated R that she really took on a new personality and it was perhaps like she was hurting inside and was guarding herself by acting tough. So, it was maybe more understandable in retrospect. But she's been well over Chris for several years now and she's still not improved her attitude. So, I can conclude that fame changed her. She got fame so young and was exposed to a lot of vices and just had to try them and now she is where she is. And I can't support artists who are not only not involved in their music but are mean into the bargain.

No she seems really nice I've yet to see her in a situation where I've thought she is mean and rude. I would happily be enlightened though!

I'm genuinely intrigued as to why people think she's nice because I've seen nothing but nastiness from her from years and I don't know why some people don't see it.

There's the moment where she hit a fan's hand with a mic when they tried to grab at her on tour (I understand defending yourself but that was too much), when Liz Jones criticised her for being a bad role model to her young fans in an article, Rihanna fired back on Instagram, calling her "a menopausal mess." When a fan criticised her on Twitter for getting back with Chris, she responded by telling the girl she looked like a goat. And as previously posted here, when a fan posted a picture of her prom outfit on Twitter which she said was inspired by Rihanna's look, she responded by laughing at how ridiculous she looked (we all know Gaga would never have done that - she always praises people who copy her looks). She's mean to everyone, including her fans, which is really irksome. One moment that really exposed her true nature was this:

Rock n roll? Gimme a break. Girl, you can't play an instrument. You can't even write a full song on your own. What right do you have to talk down to people who have talent you do not possess? She thinks they must be the only ones in the wrong when she came in too early. If anything, they were trying to keep up with her wrong timing so she wouldn't look bad and trying to keep up with the backing beat. And she tries to put them down? She doesn't even know how her own song goes (this is what everyone else said in the comments too, it's not just me). Blaming it on the band is so unprofessional and no real artist would do such a thing. This is the true nature of Rihanna - arrogant, rude, bitchy. Fame created a monster.

See above post. She said the girl looked ridiculous and like the WuTang symbol, posted the side-by-side comparison and a bunch of her fans joined in, laughing at her too.

Well you're a borderline racist so obviously you'd only pinpoint the bad in her and call her 'a monster'

I am not a borderline racist. I'm the anti-racist, always have been. No one ever had to teach me not to be racist, it's instinctive. I've found that when I treat everyone on the same level, it can look like racism because everyone's getting the same chance. When you're not being nicey nice and pointing out obvious flaws, people call you racist because you're not giving special treatment. It's what happens in this modern society where we raise kids to believe that they're the best and have nothing to improve on as well as boosting up celebrities to be better than Jesus because they can make a song that people can bop to. It's no wonder that attitudes like Rihanna's flourish when this is how we go about things. I believe that no matter how talented you are, you have no right to insult your fans or your band. And somehow, you think this is racist? I criticise anyone who acts like this, black or white. I call out the bad in her because I see it. Judging from the comments, everyone else can too. You don't have to look hard to find the nastiness in Rihanna - it's out there in the open. She's right up there with Madonna and Xtina when it comes to being a rude diva. Notice how I criticised two white women there? I treat all artists the same when it comes to their attitudes, its got nothing to do with race. I just can't deal with divas.

sure

& then don't deal with her

[Benji 20,113]

I don't think she's mean, she just doesn't bother to filter her opinions of people if she doesn't like them. I suppose you can call that rude, but it's more entertaining for us and probably for herself too to not pretend to be nice because she doesn't really have to be.

[LoveandMagic 1,731]

From what I've seen (and I don't follow her too much) she seems like a mixed bag. At times she gets nasty, other times she's super sweet and funny. I can see why she has fans, because when she is charming and fun, she seems so super cool and relaxed. But sometimes she tweets stuff that seems to be a bit below the belt or just downright nasty and rude, which I don't care for. 

I guess it all actually makes her one of the more authentic artists out there. She doesn't try to hide how she feels, though I'm sure others would argue for more decorum from her in certain situations. Certain artists really seem fake in how they approach people sometimes, like they are trying to hard to seem cool or nice. I feel with her what you see (at that moment) is really how she is, for good or bad.

Yeah, I'm sure. And I don't deal with her. She doesn't get a penny of my money. Rated R was her best and I even considered going to that tour but I just never got around to buying any of her stuff (I only buy albums and I only really buy the albums of my absolute faves). Had she kept up that level of quality, though, I'd like her a lot more. I would have totally bought a greatest hits album of hers if she'd released one around 2012 but now it's going to be slowly filling up with rubbish like 45S and Work, so I might give that a miss too. And if she had done a greatest hits tour, it might have been the first Rihanna tour I'd go to, but after her recent tour antics, no way will I ever see her live, considering how she repeatedly shows up hours late and then lipsynchs and doesn't even try when she gets there (based on what the fans themselves say). Is that a fair enough critique for you?

Oh, nice. What did I ever do you, Person I've Only Just Met Today? If you think Rihanna is such a goddess of a level that Gaga could never achieve and makes better albums than Gaga, why are you here? Go to a Rihanna forum.

I don't pirate every album. I stream them (which is also part of my music reviewing) and then decide if I like them enough to buy. I'm an old school music buyer and only buy physical copies, so I prefer not to have CDs building up. And I don't see the point of buying singles from artists who I'm going to be buying the whole album from anyway. Buying work from their faves and streaming everyone else is how most people operate when it comes to music nowadays.

I'm truly shocked by this video, I'm glad I don't stan for this kind of pop star.

why are you being so rude to someone you've never even spoken to before? reinforces the case that you're not very pleasant at all
