Rihanna tweeted a picture of herself with the inscription ‘Thug Life’ on her knuckles earlier this week. As a result, Rihanna found herself at the centre of controversy again with some Twitter users and bloggers slamming her tattoo, claiming that the “Man Down” singer is ‘glorifying’ gang culture and violence.
In response to her critics, the Bajan beauty wrote via her twitter account: “I #LOVE my new tattoo!!! Can’t wait for yall to see it!!! I got it in ‘Tibetan’ this time!!! #approved.
