But Rihanna dumped Drake for Matt Kemp, then again for Chris Brown. I knew in the back of my mind he wouldn't be stupid enough to date her again.
I remember Drake one said years ago that Rih was using him. As much as I love Rih I know that the only man she's ever cared about is Chris Brown, everyone else was just a time pusher.


I slyly hope this album flops and her whole team end up betraying her.
That girl needs a life overhaul. Mel and dem are enablers and leeches.
I saw the exact same thing happen to Brittany.
The partying, the toxic friends, the Mr Right Now complex.

If it was up to me she'd go live in New York or London alone for a year and learn to really love herself and love her own company. Then afterwards she can date a nice white guy in his early 30's. I really want her to date Jon Hamm. Can you imagine guyysss

1) I agree about Drake. He's no longer getting played by her.

2) Her album flopping would be horrible for Rih. So would being betrayed by her team. I don't know why you think that would solve anything

3) How is Mel a leech? Rihanna wants her there. She pays Mel to be there. Every star needs someone to keep them grounded. The only person who can force Rihanna to mature is Rihanna. If it wasn't Mel, it'd be another enabler. You brought up Britney (which I think is an extreme example) but the truth of the matter is Britney had self-destructive habits with or without the enablers. Did they make things worse? Sure. But Britney had a million demons she hadn't addressed and a budding mental illness. There was virtually no way she could've made it through those few years completely unscathed, even if she was living by herself in the middle of nowhere. She needed to work on herself first and foremost.

Mel literally lives for Rih. If she asked Mel to stop smoking, she would do it. If she asked Mel to delete all of her social media accounts, Mel would do it. The problem is not Mel.

Rihanna is an international popstar with everything on the line. She is 26. Why doesn't SHE mature? Why doesn't she want something more? You cannot blame Mel for that.

4) Rih has been getting better in the above aspects. I think she truly has matured in the past year. I'm much less concerned for her than I have been in the past. If anything she's made a lot of improvement in terms of bettering her life.

5) Jon Hamm has a common-law wife that he's not leaving any time soon. So you can say goodbye to that pipe dream

Ppl call Rihanna a bitch and say she is not nice (Ciara) but then you see and hear other ppl praising her and saying she is nice and so kind .. So you can't really go on what ppl say until you see it yourself ..

2014 really seems to have been an amazing year for Rihanna. I'm much less worried about her like I don't remember the last time she partied compared to 2012 where it was EVERY SINGLE NIGHT like seriously EVERY NIGHT.

I've heard it thru multiple navy not thru 1-2 person. I mean beside Charlie, Teyana and Ciara no one says Rih is a bitch but Jen the # of people.

[FatShady]

Mel is just kinda a yes man.
She's there smoking weed with Rih (Rih isn't a casual weed smoker to me, she picked up the habit because of many personal problems she was having, she's there taking THOSE photos of Rih and posting them online, she's there posting pictures of them laughing at Ciara (I know Ci did Rih wrong but that was just petty)

The weed, the IG, the vile online personality. These are the things that have ruined Rih's public persona over the past 2 years. Ofc you can guess who was behind it egging her on instead of being a good friend and telling her this is a bad idea.

Its not even about being famous, this would be bad even if she was a nobody.

[NewRihannaStan]

I liked Rih and her going out . The outfits were just especially during the TTT era ...

But I agree she does look so happy and I'm glad she isn't partying so much ..


I feel TTT was a bad era for her personally

[RihBeyonce]

What about before 09?

[NewRihannaStan]

I use Jenna ... She is so cute with Rihanna ...

What do you mean ?

Rihanna looked so broken down during the TTT era. She was so skinny. She was self-medicating, dealing with the loss of Dolly, and she was completely overworked. There's a reason she was going to clubs every night (pills n potions) and gravitating towards her abusive ex-boyfriend. She was clearly not in a good place and a break was much needed. Like others have said she looks much healthier and happier now.

To whoever mentioned it, what call did Rihanna make to Beyonce during the LOUD tour? I don't remember hearing about that.

[lonnie]

Yeah rih might never touch 2012 in messiness, I was scared for her tbh

[FatShady]

Can you imagine how great DWT would have been if she wasn't on weed

I like weed but it makes you think everything is a good idea, it makes you lazy and it takes away a very necessary impulsive nature we all have that tells us to worry.

1. Rihanna been smoking before we knew it. She been smokinh since Barbados #FACTS

2. Rihanna takes pictures of herself smoking.

3. Rihanna does her own ****. (Koochie picture) dragging people.

4. You don't know what Mel tells Rihanna behind closes door.

5. Friends are always messy together, that's just how best friends are. They gossip and trash talk.

6. Even of Melissa is the cause, she's the only one capable of keeping Rihanna SANE and HAPPY which is the only that matters in the end.

It was some rumor that Rih called Bey in tears while on the tore having a breakdown ..

[FatShady]

If Mel is there to keep Rih grounded then she's doing a terrible job.

I used read about Rihanna been a bitch all the time.like people who met her would say she had a attitude. I just realized I never noticed Mel until after 2010.....

[MikeFenty]

Rihanna apparently had a breakdown around Dublin during LOUD tour and wanted to just cancel everything but Beyonce talked to her and made her calm down and told her to push thru it or something.

[NewRihannaStan]

Let's not give Mel all the credit now . I'm sure her mom keeps her grounded too and hell I think Jay checks in with her.. Rihanna is really Jay's best work
