RIHANNA SAYS EFF THE HATERS + NEW CANDIDS
Sunday, June 24, 2007
Rihanna was spotted getting her shop on in Soho yesterday with a couple of her friends. Rihanna and her homegirls stopped by the Betsey Johnson, BCBG Max Azria and Chanel stores.
The 19-year-old singer was featured in the current issue of EW magazine and spoke on the haters in her hometown. Here’s a snippet:
What’s it like when you go back to visit Barbados these days? Do you still have a lot of friends there? Are people mostly happy for you or do you get hated on a lot?
A lot of them hate me, but a lot of them love me. I don’t really let the ones that hate me stop me from doing what I wanna do. They always have something to say about what I’m wearing, what I’m not wearing, like in the ”Umbrella” video. If I wear a swimsuit to the beach, it’s a problem, they put it on the front of the newspaper and call into programs. It really annoys me when people that I try to represent and I try to put them on the map as much as I can — you know, I didn’t have to put Tridents in my videos.
Put what in your videos?
Trident, which is the symbol of the flag. I didn’t have to talk about them. I didn’t have to even mention that I’m from Barbados. But I do and people kind of take it for granted. They hate me. They talk s— about me all the time. But I’m like, ”Whatever. I’m still doing this cause I love to do it and you’re not going to stop me.”
Check out the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly for the rest of the Rihanna interview. Thanx Just Jared!

I agree #8. I usually have love for Rihanna because i like to see young black women doing their thing and being successful. But was it really necessary for her to curse and talk about her country like that. Some of them may not like her, but that’s where your from, you don’t speak about you island like that. This is such a fake ass image. Can’t wait to see which persona she’ll take on with the next album.

People gon hate on her no matter what she do so it dont matter her goin outta her way to rep. Alotta artists talk about haters in their home town and i bet its mostly bcuz of jealousy.
Katt Williams explained it best. Haters job is to hate so no matter what you doing they gon do they damn job n hate on you…the best you cud do is either ignore them or do some ish to make them hate even more-i usually go with the latter!

like #10 said EVERYONE HAS HATERS so that whole “ppl hate cuz they want what she has” or “haters hate b/c they have no game and hate on those who do” is nonsense. when you (general) were in high school and made fun of the girl w/the stank breath, were you jealous of her? you were hating on her weren’t you, but that didn’t mean you wanted to be her or were insecure. ppl crack me up with this stuff.
that aside, uhh yea still a fake image to me but she’s making $ so if she’s gotta do it, let her do it

Tell it #10. I agree 100%. The average joe/chick has haters, so why should she be any different?
Maybe because I am 30, but I just cannot get down with this girl. Guess I am old-school where talent mattered more than image…Not saying she’s not talented. I actually think she has a nice voice, sorta Ciara-ish/ Mya-ish, but definitely not a vocal powerhouse. However, this chick has been EVERWHERE lately, can’t knock her hustle.
Where can I get some of those I HEART Dolce and Gabbana draws she has on?

Watch someone going to say it’s a “misprint” too.
It’s in general that people have haters.I have haters but too, it makes me special right?Nope! I keep them enemies close.Someone you know is always going to be greater.So when people be like “they hating” get your shame boo-boo face ready because that’s reality.People spend tooo much time on people who hate on them while you simply just can say “I don’t care” no need for an explanation.

Why do ppl mention the “haters” but then say shit like “it dont matter b/c Im doing what I love” so why even shout them out ? Im not a fan of her music but she is a pretty girl. She also need to learn how to deal with the negative shit ppl say. that comes with the fame . I remeber reading her interview with CL the first thing she said was she read what “haters” on the blog said . Everybody will not like your lame ass style or music so learn to live and deal with it ! I just saying though ….

Yeah what TAMMY said is true, and although I understand that celebs may get mad sometimes (we’re all human), giving haters publicity, ackowledging them, is what will make them keep on “hating”. Cause they know they’re on your mind. But she’s learning, she’s new to this business and only 19, she’s learning.

Haters are when people don’t know a damn thing about you, but want to tear you down for no reason at all. I mean they can’t name one reason or a good one at least why they hate you so much. That is true hating. I think Rihanna is pretty wether her head is big cause everybody got flaws. And her music is good for what she is trying to do right now. I’m more into male singers than female singers anyway. They have more meaning and soul in their music. With all that said keep making them hate Rihanna

Celebs always have an excuse as to why a lot of people don’t like them. Tell me, Rihanna do you really think you can sing and that you are succeeding because of your nontalent? It’s all about look and that’s why a lot of people can’t stand this girl. Haterz are in a workplace or in school. People who are on CL and every other blog just express their opinions. If someone says she’s ugly and has a big forehead and can’t sing, is that really hating or stating you opinion? She dresses way too revealing even for her own damn country. People think because she’s getting all this negativity, she’s doing something right. Alicia Keys didn’t get negativity about her talent or look by many but look at how talented she is. Point blank, Rihanna is only hot at the moment and you all who support her because you wanna be like her are gonna fill dumb when she ends up a has been. I’m not hating and damn sure not jealous. I just can’t wait for real talent like Alicia Keys and Mariah Carey to prove why they’ve been in the game so long and sell so much.

Hi all. First of all I am from Barbados and I’m shocked at Rihanna’s statement. The thing ppl need to understand is that Barbados is not very fussy about celebrities. We don’t care that much. Acting/singing or whatever is just another job. We don’t bombard ppl for autographs like a lot of ppl do in the states. We dont line up for hours to buy tickets to some concert.
We do however, acknowledge a job well done. Every acheivement of miss Robyn Rihanna Fenty has been lauded in our local press. We are all proud of her. Not because she is a Barbadian, because she is a young woman on a successful path. It’s sad… pathetic in fact, that she is trying to create false impressions for the American public all in the name of her “bad girl” image. I hope America is smarter than that.
Remember RiRi, you can fool some of the ppl some of the time, but ur a damn fool if u think u can fool all of the ppl all the time.

Lol @ 41 You kina rite but I don’t consider alot of what yall mean as hatin. Like for example if the gurl breath stank, it stank! Hating would b stating an opinion on somthing that can be disputed cuz its not based on solid facts but more on your own personal emotions and feelings toward the person for watever reason….please yall don’t jump up bout ha it can b argued if a person breath smell $hitty or not.
N i think Rihanna was meaning more the ppl who made a buncha noise bout a swimsuit she wore one time, she does seem to b exaggerating cuz i kno Caribbean ppl dont really watch celebs lik that. Mabe she was talkin bout ppl she personally use to kno???

Hi concrete! I like Rihanna’s new song, not the annoying one, but new single. i forgot the name of it hehe. I didn’t know she was only 19 years old. I think i said this last time she’s an ugly girl, but progressing nicely. She’s becoming “americanized”. That’s good for her. I don’t like haters either, but if I was a celeb, I wouldn’t talk that way. Her words are quite harsh. Well bye y’all!

I like rihanna and all but um, I’m just wondering… Did she think that she could pretend to be from elsewhere? She doesn’t have to say that she’s from barbados- it’s obvious since she has such a heavy accent. Who asked her to put tridents in her video? That’s so weird to me. It’s not like she’s a soca artist, who the fuck cares?

Rihanna is so beautiful and successful, so of course she’s going to have haters galore. Despite the fact that she can’t really sing, she’s a good entertainer, and she works hard, so why not be happy that she’s successful. Don’t blame her for the fact that America eats up non-singing artists. She’s out there doing her thing! Good for her. I’m happy for Rihanna.
Haters are always gonna hate, so addressing them should be out of the question.

The haters you people are talking about are totally different from what Rhi is talking about.
Rhi is not talking about somebody on a damn blog.
In all honesty, Rhi will be the like the 70s disco artist. Made a couple of hit…. but are they legends,? no.
The kids will soon grow up… and then Rhi CDs will be thrown to the back of the closet collecting dust, or deleted from the ipod.

I used to modem (kids clothes/african inspired clothes) and it made decent money. Kids (and parents who didn’t have good looking kids) were some sad individuals. Always saying “it aint gonna last”..STFU you ugly a** mfs. Nowadays i’m taking care of my son and also getting ready to be part of Hot24seven a magazine in New York. I’ll (hopefully be modeling for the mag and starting my clothing line (still thinking of a good name for it)…ANYWAYS i’m just doing me. Rih..you do you…(I talk alot as you can tell..)

Please be careful when choosing another celeb to compare to Rihanna. You just blew up Mariah like she’s better than sliced bread, but do you realize she’s got more fake boobs, lipo and face jobs to create a clone of herself? And let’s not forget her Glitter days with the assed out hotpants and bikinis. Mariah’s talented, but she cannot be used to counter anyone when it comes to a wholesome image.
As for Alicia, she’s another talented woman but even she felt the pressure to have a sexed up image, hence some of the questionable outfits during the Ladies First Tour. Some of them looked like they came straight off Beyonce’s rack.

As a product of a Bajan family, we all agree with Rihanna in the sense that some Bajans girls are real slutty but have the nerve to comment on Rihanna’ choice of clothing. On the other hand she sounds a little cocky. Barbados is a beautiful Island and Tourism was booming before Rihanna came along and “put tridents” in her videos. Ton’s of celebs have homes on the island and are probaly pissed that Rihanna keeps putting the place where they could escape from the papparazzi in the press. Tourism will continue to do well with or without her help.

Rihanna needs to chill she cant even sing and thinks she hot im sorry this girl is not money sure can change people from broke and ashy to fake and wannabe a diva well anyways she should think about what she says in her interviews before she opens her mouth its ok to speak your mind but dont hate on where your from just because half of the island dont like her or her music the whole island is not going to support Rihanna none talented ass and she thinks that Barbados should praise her now because she made it out of Barbados and is gettin money and when she said ” I dont even have to mention im from Barbados. But i do and they take me for granted they hate me they talk sh*t about me but whatever” Rihanna is full of herself this b*tch is on some diva type sh*t she thinks everyone from Barbados should just bow down to her and give her the red carpet treatment and that good girl gone bad image is not nothing new she was never a good girl good girls dont spread they legs and grind on cars in they videos and wear skimpy coochie shorts and hoe outfits im Bajan myself and i dont like her music and i dont need Rihanna to rep where im from and think she runnin things for all the bajan people she dont rep me and i dont support people like her that is full of crap i know alot of people that know Rihanna and went to school with her and they say she likes to steal other women boyfriends so that good girl image gone bad is fake some people know this girl Rihanna and they say alot of things about her and she makes it all seem like its the truth and she is a b*tch she thinks she too hot but she not even warm she out of line Barbados has alot of talented girls that have pretty skin and are very pertty and they are kind and they dont even like Rihanna so jealous has nothing to do with why some people from Barbados dont like her music or her its her attitude and how she acts like she is runnin things and she thinks she should get treated like a queen and the whole island should rep her its more to why people dont like Rihanna since she in the interviews speaking her mind without thinkin of what she is saying she needs to speak about why they dont like her cause i know alot of reasons why some of the people from the island dont support her and dislike her trust me you’ll be shock about the things this good girl gone bad has done and she is not telling why alot people from the island can careless if she is comeing back home or what she thinks she is doing to put Barbados on the map she cant even hold her own without Jay Z so she needs to check herself before she end right back in Barbados chillin looking goofy cause it seems she just don let her little fam go to that head of hers.

AND SEE THAT LOVE FOR COUNTRY IS UNSHAKEABLE. MAYBE ROBIN SHOULD APPLY FOR U. S. AND EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP THEN SHE WON’T HAVE TO TEAR DOWN BARBADOS IN HER DESPERATE DESIRE TO BELONG.ANY TING TO MEK YA HAPPY MISS TING.

i agree rihanna please retract your statement, people knew about barbados way before you ass came along and they will continue to know it way after your ass is gone.
she must realise the only reason she is as famous as she is is because she is from barbados, which makes her different.
if anything she is the one who should be bowing down to her country and not the other way round. no one asked her to put the tridents in her videos.
see i am always trying to like this girl but its just these little things she does. so arrogant!!!!!!
please be quiet and sit your ass down!! how can you disrespect a whole country??
a country that has poured out so much love on you, they gave her almost all their awards at the barbados music awards and they even presented her with a BMA ring.
and she turns around and says this……………………SMH

I see her stylist is working over time putting her in “Bad Girl”/ punk clothing even when she’s out and about. We’re still not convinced about this image. Def Jam needs to try harder. So what’s the new image for her next album? Cause this one is getting harder to pull off. I dont like the album this time round.
Rihanna, you still cannot sing, darling. I hope she is taking singing lessons. Now that is the truth.

Really did someone ask her to put Tridents in her 2 out of how many videos?and how many people even knew what the Tridents represented.
She needs to know she’ isnt doing Barbados any bigger favour than Barbados did her. She’s hot because she different not because she is more talented.
And she certainly cant force Barbadians to like or get excited about her style of music.
We have better singers here who can’t get a break, so Rhianna should humble herself, work hard and stash some money and thank her Barbadian friend who introduced her to Evan Rogers

Having a lot of family ties in Barbados I know exactly what she means and I agree with her. She gets a lot of love, but with that also comes the fact that EVERY islander feels they have a right to run her life and dictate to her what she should and should not be doing… I love my island…. but its a very small island with A LOT of small minded people…. I dont’ blame her for getting annoyed.
If Ri Ri’s anything like me, she knows her island better than most other people out there, we know our island’s faults but nobody else is allowed to talk trash about it… only us.

browneyedbrownin you’re full of crap, you know just as well as i do that Barbadians love to all up in everything people do “malicious and gypsy” isn’t a saying in Barbados for no reason!!!
Rhianna wasn’t just spouting off for no reason, she didnt just get up to start whining about all the haters she gets, she was asked a question and she answered honestly, she wasnt’ saying EFF Barbados and Barbadians…
From you’re in the public eye in Barbados people think they own you, and it gets out of hand with Rhianna, where they expect her to represent each and every one of them, with their hypocritical christianity that they try to perpetuate everyone on the island is following but what it normally boils down to is their small mindedness and nothing to do with Christianity or decency…. These are the same people that will have a lot to say about what Rhianna says, wears or does, but at the same time not have any control over what their own children are doing and won’t be able to see that what their children are doing is much worse.
Rhianna has done a hell of a lot for the island…. not just externally but amongst the nations youth. Little girls and boys now see a bigger picture as being attainable.

Everyone is not going to like Rihanna she can not sing and she has done alot of shit to others in Barbados most of you are not even from Barbados so you will not agree with me but i know she is a slut and she likes to brag alot now she comes to Barbados and think that we should just stop our busy day and give her all our attention i never did like her i already knew she was like she is now and most people say we like Rihanna so everyone quit hateing your a fool if you know what she did in Barbados to have some people not like her you wouldnt like her either. I already knew about the care incident and she thought she was not going to get bash for that and they was going to love her she almost hit someone with her reckless driveing and people from Barbados can give a damn about how famous you are they dont have to give her awards and put her in the news paper she just think everyone should like her and she is wrong people dont know this girl because some of them are not and never been to Barbados and is not from there, she also has a big ego and it dont fit her at all and BAJANS DONT BASH EACH OTHER IF WE KNOW YOU WAS A RECKLESS BITCH BEFORE AND STILL IS AND YOU DONE DIRT WE WILL NOT SUPPORT YOU AT ALL WE CAN GIVE A DAMN HOW YOU DRESS WE DONT CARE JUST DONT THINK YOU CAN SAY SOME SHIT LIKE SHE DID IN THAT INTERVIEW AND THINK SOME BAJANS WONT PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE AND MOST OF US KNOW SHE IS A NO GOOD PERSON SO WHATEVER TO THE ONES THAT LIKE HER THATS YALL SHE IS A BITCH THOUGH AND SHE NEEDS TO FALL THE FUK BACK CAUSE SHE NOT RUNNIN BARBADOS ACTING LIKE IF SHE DIDNT PUT TRIDENTS IN HER VIDEOS WE WOULD CARE HER EGO IS GONNA HAVE HER ASS BROKE AND RIGHT BACK IN BARBADOS CAUSE WE DONT SUPPORT PEOPLE THAT ACT LIKE THAT.

Rihanna gave an impromptu answer to a question asked. She did not have ten minutes to writes some essay. The silly rantings in these post support what she said. I am from Barbados too and Bajans are just like black people everywhere - we hate it when someone we know leaves us behind. She may not be the best entertainer out there but, like her or not , she is the most famous performer to come out of Barbados and no other bajan has done 10% of what she has done to promote the island.
Her statement was directed to you rant and ravers. Why all the fire breathing. she is simply telling you to kiss her ass.
I am sure she ain’t the first one , Pleeease.

Ri-Ri, I’m a fan, but let me say this, “YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO RESPOND TO EVERYONE.” I’m going to go on one of my long comments, but back in the day Motown use to groom their celebrities on how to respond to criticism as well as praise. We need to go back to that. Now, I feel you, because as young black women we are constantly criticized (keep in mind, not everyone is hatin’). You need to learn how to be classy, when everyone else if falling apart, and as my grandmother would say, “Showing they shoe size.” You need to know how to respond when everyone else says, “Who does she think she is.” Because believe it or not, some of the people who you believe are hatin on you may actually support you by buying an album. So don’t dismiss everyone as a hater.

I love Rihanna, I really do. BUT I’m soooooooooooo SHOCKED at how she talks and says “them/they” SOME people don’t make up a whole country. And I agree with the person who stated that they were also shocked because I’m from there too & we don’t act like that, We usually acknowledge people. But Rihanna is 19 & the way she dresses & acts I’d never guessed that if I wasn’t such a big fan. She should know as a celeb that these things will happen, I’m very worried about her because of how she now acts. I remember meeting her when her career JUST started and it was a totally different Rihanna. I mean ok she uses auto-tune & she’s not really a good dancer/singer for that fact. She has high goals from what I have seen her in interviews, BUT her attitude won’t get her far. It’s starting to piss me off & I like her so much!!!

Girl you, Rihanna, behave yuhself. Nobody cares about you enough to be hating you child. You know bajans already.As far as we are concerned EVERYBODY here is a celebrity so we don’t pay celebrites any attention. Much less you , with your arrogant self!! I heard you say that when you come home its like a parade, that was like a week ago on 106. I was like, what you talking bout you big headed liar. If you were a cricketer.. cuz that’s the only thing bajans care about really..cricket.
Now we always talking about you and hatin u? whoa u must be talking about another barbados. You doan know wha u gone and do girl. We gine now treat you like a heifer!! Ole big forehead girl.
Anyways stop skinnin out and behaving like you seat hot and we might still ignore yuh when yuh come home but we promise not to throw anymore stones at your car when you trying to knock down innocent children.

i am a bajan girl who is into the news and affairs in barbados… this is the raw truth not twisted like that girl rihanna has it. nobody said anything in the papers about her wearin a swimsuit at the beach… where she went wrong was wearing a swimsuit in a business establishment…. a popular restaurant that has rule on dress posted on most of their doors before u enter. i think her comment showed just how imature she is and she still has a lot to learn. dont get me wrong i like her sounds even though i can do a much better job myself, i’m not hating. i think alot of ppl hate the fact that she cant really sing n made it that far while they are others that are trying to get to that point n can sing. our island has alot of undiscovered talent.. bajans also do not respond well to ppl that are snobby.. and sad to say thats her disposition in public..
she must realise being a celeb.. u are goin to be entitle to haters, and she must learn to deal with it, because at the end of the day if she was to fail big time, b’dos is wear she would be crawlin back to… the same little island in which she was concieved..
i’m glad she made it that far, n this just shows u that makin it is not always based on who has the best talent, clearly that wasnt the issue hear…but it would be anyones dream to make it that far n im glad it came through for her…
o n the thing with her in the newpapers, if u check it out urself u would c that most of it is good stuff…. so rihanna that statement u made has made u many more haters girl.. once again like ur thing with whitney, ur tongue has put u in trouble again.
and also to the reader way above wid parades at the airport, no none of that goes on for her when she comes hear,, another one of her stories…
welcome to the worl rihanna

Hmmm…. Rihanna does seem full of herself. One of my friends who attends univeristy in Barbados said she walked up to this good looking guy, and thought that just bec she was “Rihanna” that he would pay her attention, only to be ignored. His friends thought that he was crazy since he was the cutest guy on campus and “hott” Rihanna was giving him the sexy eye. He held his own and said that while he knew who she was, he was not attracted to her because in real she isn’t that pretty. Now, yes Rihanna is a celeb, but she needs to remain humble… I think she is going a little too fast too quickly. I am from Trinidad and I go to BArbados quite frequently and it is true they are not into this whole celeb craziness– cricket, soca, crop over, carnival, Alison Hinds, Machel etc… thats what we in the Caribbean love a lot and those Caribbean celebs that I just mentioned don’t walk around snobbing at people, but she does. I am happy that she is in the process of becoming successful, but she should not get too big for her breeches! The thing is, there are people in BArbados who can sing wayyyy better than this girl (Kimberly Inniss) and I think what gets to them is that when this talentless off key girl returns home, she wants to play “hoity toity”– or miss thing… when there are more deserving talentend atrisites in that island, if not throughout the region. She needs to remember that if it were not for that friend she wouldn’t be where she is today… she might still be in BIM counting the grains of sand, and watching MTV, VH1 and BET longingly. Plus you don’t go on international media and bad mouth your country– hello… I’ve never heard an American or Canadian do that, unless they were a terrorist under some sort of mind control. When Marion Jones was being accused of taking drugs, Ididn’t hear her say she wants to run for another country/ that she hated America! This is as a result of education and real professionalism which she likes; and don’t tell me crap about she is 19. It all has to do with up bringing and common sense, which this girl doesn’t have– common sense. She better be careful what she says before people in BIM who knew her before she was “Miss Thing” start exposing her files! You just don’t say certain things. It’s all well and good to be making money, but I will never pay money to see this girl live– maybe aout of curiosity, but she sings off most times and for someone who doesn’t have a wide range she shouldn’t be struggling tomake basic notes. I think the people in B’dos know her much better than any one of you on thie site… and its not that they hate. Bec my bf is Bajan I read their papers and they are always talking positivethings about this girl. So this girl is lying through her teeth… rules are rules if there is a dress code you abide by it. How can you call yourself a role model when you violate rules given by restaurants? Shame on you Rihanna.
