That's because Rih was smart enough to realize she needed to have her own distinct lane to truly break out and become an icon in her own right. The rest of the mid-2000s Beyoncéitis casualties attempted to compete with Bey by being like her and just got steamrolled because no one was going to ever be
Beyoncé better than Bey. Had Rih stayed with that "Bajan Beyoncé" image they were pushing her with in her early days, the same thing would have eventually happened to her. It's not weird at all when you consider that key difference between Rih and them.
