Rihanna Lashes Back At Dutch Magazine

Rihanna recently took to Twitter to respond to a fashion writer’s comments in the latest issue of “Jackie,” the Dutch Magazine. The article, which degrades the Barbadian singer refers to her as the “ultimate n****b***” and consists of multiple inaccuracies.

The writer’s comment read:  “Ze heb street cred, ze heb een ghetto ass, en ze heb dat gouden keeltje. Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is de ultieme niggabitch en etaleert dat graag, en dat betekent bij haar: wat aan is, kan uit…”

The Dutch version will be of no help to those of you who speak English so here is a more direct translation: “She has street cred, she has a ghetto ass and she has a golden throat. Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is the ultimate niggabitch and displays that gladly, and for her that means: what’s on can come off. If that means she’ll be on stage half naked, then so be it. But Dutch winters aren’t like Jamaican ones, so pick a clothing style in which your daughter can resist minus ten. No to the big sunglasses and the pornheels, and yes to the tiger print, pink shizzle and everything that glitters. Now let’s hope she won’t beat anybody up at daycare.” Read the rest of this entry

Rihanna Encounters Racist Hotel Guest In Portugal

No one would think that a pop megastar such as Rihanna would have to waste her time with such ridiculous things but that’s just not the reality. During her concert on Saturday in Lisbon she was forced to run off stage to have an emergency stomach evacuation and the horrible night didn’t end there. Upon her return to her hotel, she got into an altercation with a racist guest. ( B*tch who do you think you are? )

 

Voicing her anger via Twitter she said, “I just met the most racist c— EVER!!! This man said the craziest s— about black women – called us dogs, sluts, we don’t look like s—, we don’t belong in the same hotels.”

 

If this guest knew anything at all about Rihanna, he would know to never mess with a bajan woman. “Needless to say, the n—- in me came out!” she said. “Bajan accent and all! Lol! Turns out the hotel manager’s black.”

On a happier note, despite Rihanna’s stomach problems during her performance of ‘What’s My Name,’ she was able to return quickly for a flawless performance of ‘Rude Boy.’ She tweeted, “PORTUGAL tonight was LEGENDARY!!!”

 

Have a look at her performance in Portugal. Despite the fact that she ran off stage at 1:55, her dancers did an excellent  job at continuing the routine!

Cover Drive Returns Home

Cover Drive is undoubtedly one of the greatest new bands of the year. During these past few months, the quartet has continued to please their fans and increase their fan base around the world with their hot tracks ‘Lick Ya Down’ and their latest single ‘Twilight’. Their pop music stays true to their Caribbean roots with hints of rhythm and island melodies. Their work is only intensified with the vocal talents of lead singer Amanda Reifer, who is accompanied by drummer/vocalist T-Ray. Of course, one can’t forget bassist Jamar Harding and guitarist Barry Hill.

The band recently took some time off of their busy lives in the UK to visit Barbados for some fun in the sun. Face it, it’s easy to miss this beautiful island. Cover Drive, being the big stars that they are, made a few visits to a couple of schools to interact with the students and perform. One of the schools that they visited was Queen’s College, the very same institution that taught Jamar Harding most of what he knows today.

It was a shocking moment when the students found out that the ‘Lick Ya Down’ hit makers were in the building to perform during their Independence Concert. When all the applause and screams subsided, they performed a soothing yet catchy acoustic version of ‘I’m Into You,’ by Jennifer Lopez and their original track, ‘Lick Ya Down.’ It came as no surprise when the students sung every word along with them.

Following their performance, they had no choice but to set aside some time for autographs and photo opportunities with the students. As you would imagine, Entertainment Daily was certainly not about to miss this opportunity either. Have a look at the photos below.
