Rihanna is expected to be more global than Bey considering she conforms to making music that is more globally appealing whereas Beyonce makes r&b music

The real reason is because Rihanna was first marketed as a wanna bey (

) and then she actually started doing well (better than Bey in the singles department), and her music has become more popular than Bey's. However, the Navy ignorantly thinks that quick lil singles are the most important thing in the world
which comes in contrast with the Hive thinking a legacy, impact, touring and albums are more important
