Yes. This isn't 2006 anymore.

No, and it is very apparent at times

Yeah. She seems like she has a brilliant business mind and actually writes her own material.

Yes. And she stays winning in control as evidenced by Unapologetic snagging that album Grammy

Not entirely. But we have to see with her new music.

Yes she is very much in control

Absolutely.

Yes , she's always been. She actually produces/writes/composes/visualizes all of her material as well when she isn't building churches in Africa.

In what way specifically? I think the only thing thats strongly her is her fashion sense and persona, from what I know she doesnt have any writing, producing credits and the 777 tour seemed like she just goes along with the flow and may have a say or 2 but nothing to where it feels like an empire she built (Madonna, Beyonce)

The only thing she has control over is her hair color. She has no creative control over anything , if not a little bit.

No, she's not a songwriter she depends of others people to have hits

Rihanna may not be at the heart of every single track she releases, but she definitely decides the overall direction of her career, logistically and sonically. As well as the truly core things like the image and timings of her eras. It makes me laugh when people think she is some kind of cash cow who just gets prodded with some kind of metaphorical electrocuting fork and forced to make a new album. She makes music because she wants to.

No, and it's pretty clear.

She may be in control of her image but that's about it....I can't imagine her getting much work done as much as she parties, smokes and plays on the internet

This but you know the poor deluded souls on here like to pretend otherwise.

I believe she controls her image and the videos and types of performances she does.

ffff
