I like a lot of her music, but her personality is what turns me off and yes, I know Beyonce can be arrogant, but you don't see her being that way unless its work related unlike Rihanna who takes her arrogance outside of her work area.
I mean over the past year and half we have seen her hit a fan in the head with a mic, insult people on instagram and on stage, give snarky looks at people, made comments about people in public and all that ********.
& for people who say shes always been that way or is about that life, no she hasn't. She changed as soon as her TTT era started because the ratchet look and music is in right now and it has stuck with her ever since.
If her attitude was better then I would possibly stan ha.

I know a Rihanna doesn't write ALL of her music but please don't say she doesn't write ANY of it because last time I checked she's in a lot of the writers credits...

At least she wrote that. It would take Rihanna years to write that line. And let's not pretend like Ke$ha can't write ok cause you'll just look foolish

Ignoring her music, her personality grates me.
I could honestly be projecting my everyday annoyance onto her, but she as a celebrity exemplifies one of most annoying personality traits I see in current young black woman.
I can not stand the current trend of them saying rude things, doing foolish acts, and then use being a strong, independent, "bad bitch" to get away with it without shame.
Rihanna isn't solely to blame for women doing this but it annoys me too much and she is just the biggest celebrity offender.

I'm a semi-stan but she can be really rude. Also she seems to put in little work

She's 25 and still finding out who she is.. Like she's still gonna talk like badgalriri when she's 47. I don't understand how she could bother u that much lol.
When males do it it's ok, but when a female starts doing it she's annoying, stuck up etc. Society needs to stop demanding women to act in a certain way society approves of.
Let her be young, wild and free while she still can. Time enough to be mature and serious in the future

I stanned for her during Rated R / LOUD - after that time with Chris and she came back with those tough bops, but - tbh - she lost that goodwill with me by going back to him, making Birthday Cake, and putting out those basic songs that require a three note range.

I cant stan for ha because she cant sing for me I love her voice and her music is good but nothing special at all, though I dont like her attitude and arrogance. She is getting too much success in my opinion for nothing. If we were in times where Whitney and Mariah are coming out she wouldnt never saw a record company from the inside! She isnt a real artist she is a puppet in my eyes.

Do you realize that it takes about 7-8 times for an abused woman to leave her abuser?
Like all of this has been easy for her, the entire world laughing at her bruised face as it was all over the internet.
You and Kiddo talking about it like she's a dirty sewer rat disgusts me. She's still a human being, and the fact y'all posted this crap shows me a lot about you two. I'm not gonna lower myself to your level but karma will come around one day  |
Let's not discuss "karma" k?! 
But yea, she was a role model at one point in her life and had a chance to make an impact. And not just musically, for herself, but for people who can't defend themselves.
Yea, we do have different views, mine are more inclusive.

That's no excuse though. 
.. I have never seen any other female artists be THAT RUDE at the age of 25, and by the age of 25 you should know yourself by then to have respect for people and to not let irrelevant people on Instagram get to you when you are sitting on millions of bank and a SOLD OUT WW tour.
And that is **** about males because Kanye has the same rep and it's starting to reflect on his image.
Shes a WW known artist, her haters equal as much as her fans, shes going to get irrelevant people making shade at her all hours of the day but it doesn't mean she needs to go off on all of them.
& the sad thing it isn't even always her haters sometimes shes a smart ass to her fans too.
Society isn't making anyone act a certain way, but respect should be in line any way you look at it. It's called having manners, I mean I would hope she wouldn't talk to her mom like that.
I mean we just saw her recently being a smart ass to one of her crew members because he didnt open the door infront of her, like what the actual ****, maybe if she was looking the door wouldnt have hit her.

My fundamental problem with her is that all she does is put her voice on a track 
What are you really stanning for when you stan for you know?

I think she's a just a puppet, don't see her as being in any way talented or interesting or creative, cant stand the sound of her voice, think her music is fatally cheesy and hate her personality. Basically I think Rihanna is the epitome of everything that had ever been wrong with the world of music. That's why I can't and won't ever "Stan" for her.

The fan she hit with a mic grabbed on to her so it's not like she just hits fans out of the blue, he shouldn't have been grabbing on in the first place, the people she insults on instagram insult HER first, she doesn't just attack people for no good reason, same for any comments she makes about other celebrities like Teyana, and IDEK what you're talking about giving snarky looks to people. You're overblowing things she does to fit your dislike of her. If you watch her earlier interviews and things, she's always had that sassiness she does now. Go watch her Punk'd from 2006 and see if she's acting so much different than how she acts now because she isn't. People call her arrogant, and while yeah she boasts about stuff, she's also said time and time again she considers herself on the same level as her fans and has shown she believes that many times, but y'all never bring that up.

I can't stan for her because of this and the fact that she got back with him, only to breakup with him then shade him. And allow her fans to shade him and just degrade the man. It's so hilarious.

What an embarrassing pair of comments. You don't understand a thing about domestic violence, about the people that suffer from it, about the cycle of abuse- not a damn thing and you're sitting here acting like Rihanna made bad choices and was a bad role model to young girls when the very things you're saying are part of the problem, not what Rihanna did. Just so you know it takes the average woman SEVEN tries to leave her abuser. That has a lot do with the cycle of abuse/violence. Rihanna might be famous, but that doesn't make her exempt from the reasons why other women go back to their abusers and it doesn't make her a monster for doing so either. If it was easy to leave your abuser and stay away, women wouldn't go back time and time again. You're taking a complex issue and simplifying it and it's shameful.
You're right, it's not just pressed Beyonce stans that feel that way, but that doesn't make it okay, and this practice of condemning abuse victims who choose go back to their abuser is a harmful one. You don't just support victims when they act the way you want them to, you support even when they make choices you don't agree with.

what makes her not humble...because of instead of worrying about press and her image she speaks her mind, and you don't know how she grew up so how can you say what she reverts back to....u sound ridiculous//// and if you were receiving as much hate as she does on a daily you would probally lash out on many as well....so please, why does she have t be quiet and take it all because she is a star, he has freedom of speech just like the rest of us. to me she seems the most humble and down to earth but hey to each its own.

I love her and her music, but I can't really stan for her image. I'm not sure how to explain it.

I'm not just saying stuff to fit my dislikes, because I truly would be a stan for her if she didn't have such a arrogant attitude because she makes amazing music, there isn't a bop that she releases that im not like damn, this is good.
However, I know that fan was ahold of her but she also had like 3 bodyguards next to her that was working on getting him off, she knows she has psychotic fans and you take that risk when you go up to the barrier and let people touch you. Have you ever been hit in the mouth by a mic? That **** hurts imagine being hit full force in the head by one ...
About the snarky looks, just look at her backstage at the Victoria Secrets show when someone tried to tell her something she swooshed them away like a bug in her face and gave them a snarky look which is un-professional.
I'm not saying she can't have sass and be arrogant here and there because thats entertaining, but the instagram **** is so immature on her part, if she doesn't want people shading her then she needs to only post and not read comments or not have it at all.
I love her music and even her image is cool and somewhat hipster but her attitude has got to go or at least leave it for her career as boss bitch instead of just bitch.
