Again, I'm a fan of Rihanna, but she freaking went back to the man that punched her in the face and recorded three songs with him, like wyd Collin...
Nicki Minaj is the better role model.
I hate the idea of a pop star having to be a role model
I mean they can be and inevitably are at times but parents shouldn't teach their children to look up to them They're entertainers and the entertainment industry is dirty
The deception that these pop stars are making you informed/strong in your sexuality
They took sexuality & STAMPED a price tag and "CLICK HERE." ad to it, it's used as cheesey pizza bait, knowing little boys AND girls will roll in. A tiny, dumb, easy trick. It's not something they want to positively engage you with.
At least be aware that the same things you shame Nicki for your faves have done/are doing
But of course we get the "but my fave has an air of elegance when shaking their ***** in the air"
No, this is not elegant. Rihanna is a sex icon, Nicki Minaj is kind of a cartoon'd version of that.
Also, Nicki "DEMANDS RESPECT!!!!!!!!" freakishly on Twitter, bitterly, all the time.
Rihana has literally never done something like that, does not expect to be revered for doing these things.

Kesha..... was just mentally unstable.
Nicki is also a sex icon, and she demands respect for her WORK.
Can you imagine the think pieces we'd get if Nicki wore sheer dresses to red carpets or made music videos where she's naked with a see-through sheet covering her breasts
A rat is a rat and a biased point of view is a biased point of view. If you're going to critique Nicki Minaj, critique all of her from the sexy drug referencing party songs to the ones where she's singing about infidelity to the ones where's she's bragging about her achievements. We're not dumb, we know that Anaconda isn't the only aspect of Nicki so when you try to pass it off that way your posts come off extremely desperate. Also for good measure don't drag her for things your faves do but I already said that
Just because artists I enjoy also do this dumbass activities that I don't support them doing...?
You're definitely babbling.

Anaconda being demanded respect for is really sad and shallow.
There's nothing empowering about the song, its lyriricism or message.
The hook is literally a man demanding a woman has a fat ass, she repeats multiple times she pops
pills, alludes directly to being infatuated with a man because he sells cocaine... this is echoed
loudly at youth and media consumers, and then she pissedly rants, making it a race and gender issue.
Granted, yes, men get away with more, it doesn't mean this should also be congratulated because of that.
Someone who is a huge Beyonce fan is likely more SJW-category'd than I would be.
Not really unless it's something ignorant like calling her uneducated,ghetto,etc. You know stuff that's exactly offensive.
I'm not gonna call a female out for being sexual because she feels like it and I damn sure won't complain about one being too sexy and then calling one a "sex icon".
If anything, Beyonce has been more genuine since the day she started running her own empire, which was over 5 years ago. Until FFS, Rihanna was a pop star who had control in some aspects, but still a puppet in general. She has also trend hopped with every album with the exception of a few tracks, excluding ANTI. You just cannot compare Beyonce to Rihanna, and I say this as a big fan of both. It's not 2010 anymore.
And that's the fckn problem ansjhsjjj
The "war" is never going away because fans of someone who shows up hours late to her own shows have very COMPLEX criticisms to offer on someone who takes their job seriously.
Why don't they have those same standards of their own favorite artist?
I never called her "too sexy", but for some reason the point doesn't manage to stick
and gets twisted/turned into something I'm not arguing.
I've been criticizing the target audiences and persistent DRUGS don't make for a good combination, the most. And it doesn't help when artists want to claim they deserve awards for this in supplement with cashing out their bodies for money as a "GREAT thing " to millions of people, children, etc. I honestly think that women can do whatever they want with their bodies, but it feels weird/wrong to me that unattainable bodies are displayed on Billboards, screens, visuals; inescapable, everywhere, telling everyone "this is what you want to look like... it's this," making all sorts of people everywhere feel constantly not good enough and sexually insecure. Especially young people that are developing their own thoughts/opinions being spoon-fed media content like this.

Why focus only on the negative messages instead of the positive ones? Is it maybe because *gasp* you don't like her regardless of her message
Criticizing a woman for promoting THESE lyrics to the general public:
"he might sell coke! " / "i let him hit it cozz he slang cocaine " is not a WHITE FEMINIST perspective.
And these are the lyrics in her most signature hits, like... Wake up if you find this harmless,
it's purposely marketed at children and teenagers, that's not a cute or safe message.
I like some of her stances on things, I like that she's empowered and I enjoy her strength/flow.
I don't like that she targets these things inappropriately or that she focuses on pop formulas rather than
her rapping talents now that a big price tag is how she's been conditioned to make decisions.
