Not the receipts flying already

Rihanna aint R&B, shes a pop girl, 90% of her music is pop.

Rihanna & Beyonce have both actually sold 30M albums worldwide. Rihanna trumps Beyonce on singles, though.

Beyonce has sold 120m records, Rihanna has sold 150m in less than half the time than Beyonce's career.

You tried tho.

Beyoncé has sold 60M albums worldwide.

Beyoncé SOLO is at 140M records (with 5 albums and 2 outside the digital era).

Please check your facts.

This. They are pressed that there is a black woman that is more relevant globally and has the double the impact with half of the work, which is ridiculous , as Beyoncé's own milestones are not too shabby either as to feel pressed.

Atleast you tried

I don't know why two Navy members/Beyoncé haters are trying to make this into a messy thread - this is the reason why we don't get along.
Because of certain members.
And they both have their pros and cons - and it will never end.
Things in common: Both started out in R&B, associated with Jay Z, black females.
Beyoncé is more of an entertainer/artist, has amazing vocals and good stage presence & reasonable album sales. She's also really private.
Whereas Rihanna is more up front, into fashion, releases fun pop hits here and there, has amazing single chart music and is pretty sassy.
They're literally opposite, and the Hive and Navy believe in different things (such as albums going #1 than singles going #1 etc) so it just goes round and round and never ends

The beginning and end. And larger picture, because of certain fans/stans.

Annoying tho given that I love one and really like/enjoy the other. I'll never quite fully get the mentality of having to hate someone to love another, but ppl legit think like that. Very strange.

If you are counting DC records, then we should count Relapse, Paper Trails, MDBTN, as Rih was in all of those

Okay but those are incomparable situations
Rihanna: was featured on those albums
Beyoncé: sang lead on every Destiny's Child album, had co-writing and co-producing credits on all/a majority of the songs on 3 Destiny's Child albums, was executive producer on two of them, toured with them. There is no Destiny's Child project without major contributions to it by Beyoncé, on the other hand Rihanna is a just a piece in the puzzle that was the whole of the projects you listed

Beauty is subjective.
Popularity - Beyoncé can gross $200M + on a tour. Rihanna can sell $1.79 singles.
Records - Beyoncé has sold more records than Rihanna. 170M>>>>150M.

You stan for sales and popularity?

Because of responses like this. I don't hate Desert Rain but this is such a typical response where he just couldn't praise without shading..

You're trying to make it a mess. Don't act innocent.

[slw84]

Because both have what the other need and they don't make enough effort to show they are cool. When they do take pics...it appears forced. When they are asked in interviews...well, Rihanna does say nice things about her.


I think they are cordial.

[Flawle$$]

Another stan war

[Lyrical.]

It's always about sales with these ****ers.

[BubbleGomme]

I don't know, honestly.

They're both successful and renowned black female artists, doing their own thing.... they shouldn't have to be pitted against each other.
I don't think the entire bases are to be blamed, there are just a few annoying members from both sides who always want to rile others up. It's both funny and pathetic because while they're pulling one another's hair with flying receipts and over-praising, Rih & Bey see each other at times and show nothing but love.

[EloiseheartsRiRi]

Not the Hive and the Navy falling for this trap. BYE.

[Luminary]

I'm Navy and Hive.. does that mean I hate muhself I didn't know

[KatyLegendperry]

I've always wondered this. I think its because when Rihanna was starting out she was faced with all those comparisons to Beyonce.
