If you’ve been keeping up with the latest news on Twitter, then you probably already know that Teyana Taylor and Rihanna got into a pretty epic Twitter beef yesterday. The beef started after Teyana got word that Rihanna may have put her male stylist up to the job of impersonating her singing an Anita Baker song she posted to Instagram two weeks ago. Things got pretty ugly on Twitter after Teyana came for Rihanna’s throat and in the end most would agree that Rihanna met her match when it comes to Twitter wars.
Teyana decided to call in to Hot 97 this morning to give her side to the story, and she says she feels Rihanna only bullies other women because her fans encourage her behavior. She says:
“For her to make a video like that it wasn’t no coinkidink. ‘Caught Up in the Rapture of Love’ is not a recent song. She knew what she was doing.
“I just think that her fans allow and condone her behavior and she does this to everybody. It’s not always fun and games all the time. You do it, you get away with it. You tried me. You clapped and I clapped back. That’s what that was. You didn’t think it would go as far as it did, but you can’t do that to everybody. Sometimes you’re going to bark up the wrong tree.
“Yes, I do think she’s a cyber bully. I really do. I think she has dope music, dope music is dope music. You know, I’m not a hater. She’s a pretty girl but that don’t mean you can just bully anybody. It don’t work like that.
“This wasn’t no publicity stunt. This wasn’t no trying to get free publicity. It wasn’t none of that because clearly I was on her brain to even be making fun of me.”
Interestingly enough, Rihanna’s fans are now going after Teyana’s Adidas endorsement, because they claim she mocked domestic violence by momentarily posting a photo of Rihanna’s battered face as her temporary Twitter profile background after Rihanna posted her net worth and Teyana’s as hers. They actually created a petition to get Adidas to part ways with Teyana. Interestingly enough, we did hear that there’s a group of people working on launching their own petition against Rihanna, and they are hoping to pressure MAC and River Island to drop the singer because they feel as a domestic violence victim, she should not be bullying other women.
This is getting messy.
A petition? Really? Are they serious?! So it’s totally okay for Rihanna to bully other women?! That’s it. I’ll start a damn petition myself. I’ve had enough of Rihanna and her fans.
Rihanna’s fans are basically saying it’s ok for Rihanna to bully people. She does not get a pass just because of what happened with Chris. Something tells me they are going to regret doing this because they don’t understand that that petition on Teyana’s behalf can get created in minutes too. Drop it and move on.
Oh boo. Rihanna deserved the dragging she got. Sometimes the bully gets a taste of their own medicine. As soon as the petition to get Rihanna dropped for her YEARS of bullying gets created, I’m signing it.
What’s wrong Navy? Can’t take your fave getting embarrassed? *rolls eyes*
They can go straight to hell with that petition. Rihanna’s true colors have been revealed, and I don’t think she’s a victim in the least bit anymore. I was one of the people who rode hard for her when the whole thing with Chris happened, but over time she just showed me she’s that female in high school who picked on all the girls and eventually made one of them kill themselves. She’s a disgusting person.
UB just post that link to the petition for boycotting Rihanna when you get it please. I’ve had enough.
I second that.
Third~~
Fourth!
Fifth!
Rihanna better tell her dumb fans to sit down. If white america gets a hold of that bullying petition, it’s a wrap. They have been waiting on a celeb to be the face of that anti bullying campaign and they deplore her now anyway. Young kids are who is keeping her relevant.
So now Rihanna’s a victim again, huh? Oh give me a break.
So we’re just going to act like Rihanna hasn’t bullied people for the last couple of years right? SMH.
I totally agree with Teyana. Rihanna has this whole fake thug image and her fans love all the nasty things she does to other people. They will be her downfall. Watch.
Yeah go on Twitter and see what the Navy is saying to Teyana. That’s what Rihanna is teaching them. She’s a deplorable person for this. These young kids think it’s okay to be nasty and hateful to people. They actually think it’s cute. Smh.
Get Busy, SMH, Navy yall are mighty quiet. Don’t get silent now.
Now Rihanna can say anything to anybody but nobody can say anything to her. Y’all can miss me w/ that BS when Rihanna started this ish. Rihanna is a BULLY. This is a good example of if you dish it out you better be able to take it. Rihanna fans need to leave Teyana Taylor endorsements alone can’t get mad when Teyana tore into Rihanna a-s. This was deserving so calm down as many people Rihanna has bullied she had this coming.
Rihanna is a poison to our society. She has made a mockery out of real domestic violence victims. Karma is coming. I promise you.
When I was in high school, there was this evil b-tch who hung around weaker, ugly desperate girls and they would plot to make other girls miserable. I was one of the girls they picked on. One day I got fed up and brought a blade to school. They came up to my lunch table and kept talking about how I looked and how they would jump me after school. I stuck my finger in my hair and made sure they saw the blade I had waiting on them. That’s when they walked away from my table and they never said a word to me again.
Rihanna is a bully. She needed to be put in her place and most of her fans would be her victims if they went to the same school. Teyana did what needed to be done. Boycott her all you want, it’s only going to come back on Rihanna harder because Rihanna’s done way worse and the media just hasn’t called her out on it yet. But they will if you take it there. I promise.
So the bully gets bullied and now Rihanna’s fans are telling a company to be morally responsible when Rihanna never has been? Interesting.
That petition is the dumbest thing I’ve read in a long time. One, Adidas is not dropping Teyana. She made them a lot of money. Yes Navy, you read right. That “nobody” yall keep trying to drag on Twitter created the highest selling shoe Adidas has ever had. And Rihanna won’t be dropped either. Money rules the damn world. She makes too much money for MAC and River Island. What happened yesterday is nothing more than someone finally meeting their match. Rihanna had this coming. Accept that your fave is not the bad a-s you thought she was and she could get her a-s whooped again, but this time by a female. That’s life. Now move along.
So do Rihanna’s fans not understand that every time she says she can’t stand broke b-tches that she’s talking about them too? I mean Teyana has more money than the Navy does. LOL.
Lisa I’m a broke b*tch too! haha! We all are compared to Rihanna’s money…which by the way I hear she doesn’t have much left after shady business deals and mismanagement!
Exactly! Aint none of these companies gonna respond to no petition about this foolishness, so all may as well sit down with that mess about some petitions. This whole Twitter mess they in is dumb anyway. Child please!
Are Rihanna’s fans that stupid that they don’t get that she just admitted she hated them? I’m sure most of them are the broke b*tches she admitted to hating. Man, people are stupid.
My doorman lost a nephew to bullying. They really bullied him that he could not take it no more. He tried to handle the bullies that they turned around the smashed his head into the ground until his neck broke. Now my doorman’s sister took all the computers out of the house. She never knew that her son was going through this until she looked in his computer. Little did his mother know that while she was looking at his computer he was getting his head smashed into the ground while his friends did nothing. He thought he had friends but they were very much like bullies themselves. They was banned from the wake services.
Listening to what Rihanna said about she hates broke bitc*es should tell her fans something. But no they are two busy worrying about being a bully just like Rihanna. Rihanna’s fans are so dumb that are not listenng to what Rihanna SAID she HATE BROKE bit*hes and I bet they will take their broke azz to buy anything she put out.
