Kelis did it first and better. Sorry Rihanna and Cassie, you were late on this bandwagon. And if I were to take it further: Grace was the first. Inimitable to the end, there is no competition as far as I am concerned.

Diane Sawyer just referred to Rihanna as “that dazzling singer” and “a golden superstar”. I’ve had enough. I’m sick of Chris Brown’s blatant attempts at saving his career AND Rihanna. Women, Black women to be specific, have long been the victims of domestic abuse. With no attention given by the media. Every 9 seconds a woman is battered in America. It sickens me that all of a sudden people care because a celebrity was affected by violence. Rihanna is not the new face of domestic abuse or feminism - the woman that is brutalized every 9 seconds is. The outpour of concern should be given to the women, men, and children in your every day life that experience violence. Rihanna is a celebrity. Her livelihood depends on the public. She’s releasing an album in 2 weeks. I understand her need to speak out and clear the air, I’m sure it will help with her personal healing process. But don’t use abuse as a conduit to further your career, which to this point, hasn’t done much for women anyway.
Amen.
