R&B star Rihanna has admitted that she struggled with demands from her record company when she first entered the music business.
The Umbrella singer, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, was unhappy with rules about her appearance that she was expected to follow - and eventually decided that she was taking control of her own image.
"It wasn't that [my management or the label] told me what to do. It was more of what I couldn't do," Rihanna told Vibe Vixen magazine. "I couldn't wear red lipstick. I couldn't wear my hair in a ponytail; all kinds of stupid things.
"Being 'Rihanna' wasn't natural. So I rebelled. I'm doing me. Now, Robyn and Rihanna are much more similar."
^ you didn't know that? yeah Rihanna is not her real name. I was kinda confused at first when i saw the title of the thread because i thought it was Rihanna VS Swedish singer Robyn & i'm like what's the connection but i knew Rihanna wasn't her real name but didn't know that Robyn was her real name. Honestly Robyn doesn't fit her i prefer Rihanna
her real name isn't Rihanna?
