I mean, I see people coming for Nicki and Beyoncé the whole time cause apparently they "bleach" their skin, but no one says anything about Rihanna yet she has the same skin color as those two. Why?





All three are naturally light skinned black women.

Explain.

Because ATRL likes to believe Beyonce and Nicki bleached their skin

No one dare disrespect the Queen.

They are too busy mentioning Chris, the fact that she took so long to get a #1 album, and how she has so many weave changes.

Because it still looks natural

She's not afro american, I suppose

This. She's so easily draggable in so many other areas. The skin thing with Beyonce is like grasping at straws because they can't find anything else to pin on her...

Rihanna doesn't actually have a wide range of skin colour (warning included bc of 'incident' photos):



She's just a little lighter with the lights in her face and make-up on.

Because Rihanna is the queen of pop and a living legend.

I've heard a million times that Rihanna bleaches her skin.

Because Rihanna dresses and souds like a white woman so no one really thinks of her as a black woman.

because this



Shes gotten darker over the years tbh

she looks so ugly, imagine her face without make up

Bitch not with that THICK BAJAN ACCENT. You know we're talking about Rihanna and not Rhianna, right sis?

Because she isn't important as beyonce duh

I think Rihanna gets to break rules that other Black women would get heat for (like Beyonce making pop music or Nicki making dance music) because she's from Barbados and isn't really held to Africian American cultural standards, at least not the way they are

I know Nicki is from Trinidad too but I dont think people don't really pick up on that unless they dig beneath the surface, whereas Rihanna's accent makes it clear immediately to even casual fans
