Rihanna Outraged Over Fake Chris Brown Tweet

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Pop star Rihanna has expressed her outrage over a fake Chris Brown tweet. It appeared that Rihanna posted the following tweet,

“I admit, I provoked Chris to hit me. It was not entirely his fault. #ImSORRY.”

This tweet was later proven to be fake as Rihanna vehemently denies sending it. MTV Canada was later targeted by Rihanna as the culprit for re-posting the tweet.

Rihanna blasted MTV Cananda news in a tweet stating, “are u f–ing kiddin me?????? You’re supposed to be a RELIABLE source for news on music and this is the bulls– u post?”

MTV Canada responded stating “We were reporting on a story that was posted on several sites today. We had no intention to be salacious.”

It’s not hard to imagine why Rihanna would be upset about this tweet. The assault occurred on Grammy night 2009 and while both stars are hoping to move forward the events of that night are still haunting them.

This brings up another question: Is twitter hurting or helping celebrities like Rihanna and Chris Brown – who are no strangers to twitter beefs?

In other Rihanna news, the “Man Down” singer is facing a second lawsuit for “S&M” from another photographer Philipp Paulus . Philip alleges Rihann’a copied his work from “Paperworld”.

Sigh…it makes you wonder if Rihanna’s creative director new this would come….

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
