Rihanna is without a doubt one of the biggest pop stars of today, and the rivalry between Rihanna’s fans (The Navy) and Beyonce’s fans (The Beyhive) is probably one of the biggest stan wars to date.
Some feel the stan war may have ignited as a result of rumors suggesting Rihanna and Jay Z had an affair early on in Rihanna’s career, and now a new report is claiming the rumor was put out to give Rihanna some major buzz.

That actually seems plausible to me since it happens all the time. Fake relationships, fake pregnancies, fake marriages….. Anything to get the celeb some buzz and keep them in the public eye.
Lmao I always thought this. Well it worked.
And this is why I always laugh at the stan wars. The whole time the Hive and Navy been going at it, Bey and Rih are laughing all the way to the bank together! Hilarious!
I believe it.
I always thought the rumors were manufactured. I hate the Stan wars but they do help artists. People will buy albums just so they can have the upper hand in the Stan war. It’s a smart strategy.
public knowledge the guy who started the rumor talk about this about 6 yrs ago

I heard about this a cpl of yrs ago. It’s shady but it makes sense was a “good” business move as far as getting a buzz for her. Not positive but whatevs
I’m sorry this sh-t is pathetic. So Rihanna is ok with people thinking she’s a home wrecker?! Chile I guess.
I think there are better ways to get buzz.
That biography sounds boring.
Clever.
This isn’t surprising but whatever.
Rihanna didn’t need to do this though. But whatever.
lmao
Makes sense but I think it was unnecessary. Rihanna was going to blow up anyway.
I think people forget that Rihanna was about 17 years old when that song was released and had only moved from Barbados to the USA a year earlier….by herself. Of course a publicist would be able to put out a story like that about her.
Love em both.
It worked!!
Get money.
Ummmm IDK….if Bey actually thought it was some truth and she’s within the inner circle then what???? LOL….Jay isn’t too high and mighty not to mess with young girls Foxy, Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Riri and whoeva the hell else so w/e
Controversy sells but it’s sad this is what the music business has turned into. Back in the day it was just about raw talent.
