It’s not often a pop star puts pen to paper to diss someone.
They usually go to Twitter and the latest craze, Instagram. Last Tuesday a UK journalist Liz Jones raised eyebrows when she wrote an intriguing article on Bajan born pop star, Rihanna in The Daily Mail editorial . The article describes the pop princess’ transition from good girl Rihanna to “bad girl RIRI”, It also refers to her as "poisonous”.
Here is an clip from the controversial article:
"Of course, these little girls don't [realize] there is anything wrong with what they are doing — they just want to copy the chart-topping star... But if only she could be a better role model for young women.I don't care if she has the voice of an angel and is self-made, feisty and confident."
"Is it fair that we berate female stars for being bad, when we don't admonish men in the same way? Yes, it is fair. Because young women are far more impressionable than young men. They want to be Rihanna, have her lifestyle, her clothes, her men, her habits... This poisonous pop princess should come with a government health warning."
Of course you know “this means war”. Rihanna took time of her busy schedule to “put Liz Jones in her place” (Caribbean slang).
She took to instagram and posted this:
“LOL!!!! My money got a bad habit of pissing people off!! If you sincerely wanna help little girls more than their own parents do, here’s a toxic tip: don’t be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter! What’s all this about hair and nails and costumes and tattoos?? ….That s— ain’t clever!!! That s— ain’t journalism! That’s a sad sloppy menopausal mess!!!”
“Nobody over here acts like they’re perfect! I don’t pretend that I’m like you, i just live… My life!!” she continued. “And I don’t know why y’all still act so surprised by any of it!! ‘Role Model’ is not a position or title that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat! I got my own f—ed up shit to work on, I’ll never portray that as perfect, but for right now it’s ME!! Call it what ya want!! Toxic was cute, Poisonous Pop Princess had a nice ring to it, just a lil wordy!”
Rihanna and Drake getting back together
