Rihanna is known for being an outspoken pop star, but not necessarily about politics
Intended to be an exclusive for Tidal, the new streaming service she owns a stake in, the American Oxygen clip has since leaked onto the Internet for non-subscribers to see. Though the songs lyrics didnt seem particularly critical of the American dream when the full track surfaced this weekend, the accompanying video which features archival footage of civil rights marches, Ferguson protests, the 9/11 attacks and immigrants entering the country challenges readings of the song as a pure ode to the land of opportunity.
Clearly, Rihannas feelings about the U.S. are like reviews of her latest material: quite mixed.
American O2 video is kinda being ignored due to the tidal mess lol. Literally poor Rih. Beyonce won
Jay and Bey sabotaging her and bitch ain't even know it, no wonder several people stole millions from her, she's always too busy getting high instead of making any effort for anything.
AO2 video shows the big problem with tidal. I (as well as most of us) was driven to see it through some back alley site which gave her NO money or streaming points, instead of watching it on vevo like we normally would. Tidal will drive the masses to piracy
I'd be depressed too
