Yeah it is a race thing, Rih vs. Bey only started because for years the Hive only had "black" receipts, cause there were so many white women who were more successful, and then Rihanna came and took away the last thing they could brag about.
Rihanna's obviously completely eclipsed Pepcé though so these days there is not much of an argument. It's only still ongoing because the Hive continues to pretend that Pepcé is ten times more successful and legendary than she really is. That aggravates not only the Navy but also other stans of superior females like the Army, the Kats, the Swifties, the Underdogs, the Illegals, the Fighters, the Bearsharks, etc.
