AWWWW HELL WHY WE GOTTA START 08 WITH ALL THIS TOM F_UCKERY ISH???? RACIST, RACIST ERRYWHERE….

Wow…that is really sad but surprising? Naw not really…

Celebs do private concerts for the super rich all the time. No big deal, but that headline is jacked up. I think they were trying to add shock value but they just wound up sounding tacky.

DROCK!!!!

u know Rhi-Rhi don’t give a damn! that gal wants her $$$…

IT DID HAVE SHOCKED VALUE. IM SURPRISED SOMEONE WOULD THINK RIHANNA’S PERFORMANCE IS WORTH 500K. THEN AGAIN THERE IS NO ACCOUTING FOR EUROPEAN TASTE IN MUSIC.

@ Boom boom, cosign.

Rhianna looks very good in that pic. Smokin!

YALL KNOW PEOPLE IN ALL COUNTRIES STRAIGHT HATE BLACKWOMEN (hell alot black women hate black women….just keeping it real…no need for any hoe.sit.downs….or wtf u talking bout drock……or beyaaaatch pleazzz….) did i leave anything out???

RUN RHI RUN….NEXT THEY GONNA PUT AN APRON ON YOU THEN WHIP YOUR ASS FOR NOT COOKIN WANT.. KNOWING YOR WHITE BOYFRIENDS WONT BE RESCUING YOU

She got pimped, like the article said, she’ll learn.

THIS GIRL HAS A MONSTER FOREHEAD LOL I WAS JUST LOOKIN AT HER PICTURE LOL

WHAT THEY WANY..OOPS

BOY I AM ROLLIN TODAY!!

@DROCK … ACTUALLY I WAS JUST IN ITALY THIS PAST SUMMER AND THE MEN OVER THERE WORSHIPPED ME AND MY FRIENDS. ITALY & PARIS ARE GREAT PLACES TO GO TO EXPERIENCE THE CULTURE, CUSISINE AND THE MEN … GERMANY IS NOTORIOUS FOR RACISM.. REMEMBER A LIL THING CALLED THE HOLOCAUST.

WANT…HE HE

DROCK!!

She was paid $500,000 for one performance, I’m sure she couldn’t care less what some news article said. As long as her name was printed on the check, screw em.

As long as they got the name right on the check!!! Rihanna is the one laughing because I’m sure whatever she performed it wasn’t worth $500,000. Who cares what they think? If I were Ri-Ri, I would go right back and perform again as long as the money was right. LOL

FAWWWWWW!!!!!

i c u!!! i will be back…i gotta pretend i am doing what i am actually supposed to be doing…LOL!!!!!

NEW DEREON AD CHECK IT OUT

“IT DID HAVE SHOCKED VALUE. IM SURPRISED SOMEONE WOULD THINK RIHANNA’S PERFORMANCE IS WORTH 500K.”

LOL @ mistyblue, money to burn I guess.

Circa-81:

I don’t know Circa, I’d be pissed and I’d put that reporter on blast in all future interviews, lol, but yeah then I’d probably go shopping.

HEY WESSI!!! WHASSA SHAKIN……BACON

Actually $500,000 is cheap compared to other artists. Bigger stars like Janet and Beyonce get paid triple that much to perform. So I guess $500,000 is as cheap as it gets to rich people. So Rihanna’s not doing anything big. Who would pay $5 to see her let alone $500,000. That’s as cheap as it gets. LMAO

Wow, that headline is wrong on so many levels. I’m mad at her management for negotiating such a cheap contract. WTF, if George Michael with his played out, picking up men in bathrooms, alcholic ass could get 3.3 million…WTH?!?! Forget the suite at the Ritz, I’d prefer way more cash thank you…

Anyhoo, nice pic, I like the dress.

LMAO @LMAO Damn you rolling. Can I get a few dollars? Matter fact can you pay off my mortgage for me? I still got 200k left on the loan.

@ Nation, 500k means something to ME lol I WOULD GO RIGHT BACK! But I will not allow being called a “Nigger” for 500k lol. Thats where I draw the line…

The more I read the news the more I just want to call people dummies & dumb asses.

Everybody is just dumb…if in fact most of these people went school I think they slipped through the cracks and weren’t held back or put in special education like they were supposed to be.

Everybody’s just a dressed up, made up, half PR prepped dumb ass.

Any money means SOME KIND of money to me. And Rhi should be honored to receive 500k. She cant fockin sing lol…Bless the lord for every dollar you have and that includes you LMAO!

Who gives a damn? Like someone else said most artits get paid triple that much so Pon de Forehead is getting minimum wage. Not all that money even goes to her so who cares? It’s all about Alicia now who has more talent in her pinky than Rihanna has in her whole body. Rihanna will be joining Ashanti, Mya, and several others in the no talent club.

*artists*

More Alicia stories please!! Nobody cares about Forehead anymore!

It’s funny that notbody has touched on this yet, by Russians are the most racist people that I have ever encountered. I have been to Russia 5 times for work. Blacks visitors are encouraged not to leave your hotel after dark. People openly glare at you when you walk down the street. Skinheads roam in packs. And everywhere there is a prevailing sense of lawlessness and gangsterism. Even the President of the country is a hood! Check out the movie Eastern Promises and you’ll get a good feel for the culture. Look it up, blacks are attcked all the time in Moscow. It’s a miserable country and I have vowed never to return.

So the headline should be interpreted as, “Can you believe somebody gave $500K to a nigger?” That’s what they meant.

@ FAST LANE … THAT IS SO TRUE. AND KIDNAPPINGS ARE PREVLANT THERE AS WELL. IVE NEVER GONE TO RUSSIA AND HAD NO DESIRE TO DO SO

@ TOYA

black women are worshipped all through europe, that’s because it’s something they’ve never seen before, i can’t tell you how many black women are like, they love us in italy, blah, blah, blah….so what they worship you, as i said it’s something they have never seen before, they’re still RACIST as hell

*****************************************************

ACTUALLY. YOU COULDNT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. THERE IS A GROWING POPULATION OF BLACK PEOPLE MOVING TO EUROPEAN COUNTRIES SUCH AS ITALY, ESPECIALLY PARIS BECAUSE THERE IS LESS OPPOSITION AND DISCRIMINATION. INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS THERE ARE A PLENTY AND YOU DONT HAVE TO WALK DOWN THE STREET AND GET SNEERS FROM BLACKS FOR BEING WITH A WHITE, OR VICE VERSA. IM NOT CALLING THIS THE LAND OF PARIDISE BUT AMERICANS CAN BE VERY CLOSE MINDED AND BIAS. AS A MATTER OF FACT IN THE 20s ALOT OF BLACK ENTERTAINERS MIGRATED THERE BECAUSE THERE WAS A GREATER ACCEPTANCE FOR THEM.

PEOPLE SUCH AS JOSEPHINE BAKER, AND GREAT NOVELIST JAMES BALDWIN.. SO, I DISAGREE, IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAVE VERY MUCH SEEN BEFORE. THEY JUST HAPPEN TO LIKE IT. THATS A LIL BLACK HISTORY FOR YOU. YOU’RE WELCOME.

500 G’s is still a lot of money for a 40 minute show. Lord knows she is not the best singer. She has no control over what the racist news reporters write. She’s young, but will hopefully learn to pimp these racist white MF’ers before they pimp her. Why doesn’t she just model? That is her true calling. She takes amazing pictures, even with that big ‘ol 4-head.

Obviously like here if its alot of poor people and ugly people no where lies that like the muslims in france but if you are a respectable good loking person they like you i n Europe Im 17 and I have been to France and Italy. Its not just cause I am black casue they were not all all black females just one’s who loook a certain way. No one is all over ugly females dont always blame it on your race. THEy though wow your skinny your not American but then where else would one be from to chill in there country they see us (americans as fat and having money well some on the latter)

I thought she said she was white or she felt tha way or something like that….or i’m mistaken, well apparentely she’s black…haha

It’s Europe..what did you expect??? Rihanna got her money so it’s all business for her. She don’t care.

@ Fast Lane

So the headline should be interpreted as, “Can you believe somebody gave $500K to a nigger?” That’s what they meant.

Yep, that headline was condescending as hell.

lmao @ the ‘mon’…you do know she is from BARBADOS not Jamaica right? Then again maybe not. That’s like me impersonating and African American from New York by saying ‘Am finna go to tha sto fo some pop!’…

Oh and Rihanna does have hips. She has a very nice shape…

HEY Y’ALL, THIS IS MY FUTURE WIFE!! Is’nt she lovely!!!

@ Just Sit And Be Pretty …

I DID MENTION IN MY PREVIOUS POST THAT MY COMMENTS SHOULDNT BE INTERPRETED AS ME SAYING EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE SOME SORT OF PARADISE OR THAT THEY ARE PERFECT AND FREE OF RACISM. AND MY COMMENT WAS MADE OUT OF SHEER EXPERIENCE. MEANING, IVE BEEN TO EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, AND TWO I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS A MARKETING COMPANY THAT WAS SHOWN NO LOVE IN THE STATES, BUT MIRACULOUSLY WHEN HE MOVED HIMSELF AND HIS CORP TO FRANCE HE HAS ONE OF THE TOP MARKETING FIRMS OVER THERE AND HE IS WORKING WITH CLIENTS WHO IN PAST TIMES TURNED HIM DOWN BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SEE A “MORE EXPANSIVE PORTFOLIO” .

I BY NO MEANS THINK EUROPE IS PERFECT, NOR DO I THINK JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BLACK BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND THAT IT MEANS MUCH MORE THAN THAT LOL BUT I DIDNT THINK ID HAVE TO GIVE A DISCLAIMER AFTER EVERY SINGLE COMMENT I MADE. I WAS BASICALLY JUST INFORMING SOMEONE WHO HAS PROBABLY NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO STOP BEING SO CLOSE MINDED AND THINK EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE HAS SOME SORT OF RACIST CONNOTATION TO IT.

ALSO, IN MY EXPERIENCE I HAVE FOUND THAT ACTUALLY SPEAKING FRENCH IN FRANCE WILL ALMOST ALWAYS ENSURE ANYONE OF ANY SKIN COLOR A BETTER TIME CALL THEM CRAZY BUT THEY HAVE A LIL GRUDGE AGAINST RUDE AMERICANS WHO COME TO FRANCE & EXPECT THEM TO SPEAK ENGLISH..SORTA LIKE THE WAY WE HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE OF HISPANIC ETHNICITY EXPECT US TO SPEAK SPANISH.

@ miss thang…

THANKS! LOL!!! but…

po-tay-toe

pah-tah-toe

indian (end da end) we all still n’kaz to them!

p.s.for future reference, how can i make that “Bajan talk” more realistic on paper???

@ FastLane

good point

The reporter should have also stated that when George Michael performed it was for a concert which was for over 2 hours. Rihanna gave a performace for a small party for 20 minutes, therefore, there would obviously be a difference in the fee charged.

correction 40 minutes

By the way the amount charged was 500,000 pounds which is over 1 million US dollars.

And rihanna was the third highest paying act in Russia after George Michael and Christina Aguilera.

But after seeing the newpaper remarks going to russia is nothing to be proud of.

This is weird

“Your comment is awaiting moderation”

Am I being censored, hacked, what? LOL, someone already lifted my pic and put an X thru it once. Is someone angry with me *looking up…God is that you?*

@ Just Sit and be pretty

That happened to me too before but I think it was because I had posted a video link along with my comment. It’s kinda weird when they do that though.

I am up here watching an episode of Hell Date. LOL The “supposedly gay guy is playing a joke on this girl.

40 minutes, does she have 40 minutes of hit songs?

When I first read this I was slightly offended but the one thing I can say about the russians is that they have never hidden their racist feelings and I can respect that. At least I know where I stand with them.

All in all she got $500K for less than an hour. When something is for “sale” you own it once purchased, she to my knowledged was not purchased.

Whether or not she has hit songs she still got paid.. Obviously the russians like her enough to spend that for less than an hour…

Get that money gurlllllllllllll…..

That dress is fiiiiya. Racism in Russia…imagine my surprise.

I would like you call me susan. I am living U.S. I had met her at blackwhitekiss.com a couple nights ago. You can view my hot photos by searching “xhot” there and her comments/hot photos to me.

Oh and Musty, the only part of your statement that I agreed with was the part about the increase of blacks moving to Europe, the rest was pure drivel!!

@ just sit

I agree with you..I won’t pretend to be well traveled or to speak more than one language…but every country understands the almight dollar…remember how Oprah got owned at Hermes (?)…they thought she was a nobody…a regular BLACK local and refused her entry into their boutique….

Anonymous 3…exactly, because those idiots at Hermes didn’t recognize O (she probably wasn’t wearing makeup ) they assumed she was just another black person trying to come into their store. My only point to Musty was that don’t try to idolize Europe or Europeans like they’re more relaxed about racial issues.

Yeah, http://www.bajanfuhlife.com/bajanwords.htm

@ Just Sit

seriously, thank you…but i still do not see on here what term Bajans use for “man.”

i guess it’s…”man.” LOL.

Wow, it’s just a link that says “bajanfuhlifeDOTCOMbackslashbajanwordsDOThtm”

Yah basically..not everyone in the islands talk the same.

miss thang you’re right because when Jamaican’s speak their patois, I’m lost. I grew up in Barbados (born in England) and can understand all other islanders, but when Jamaicans get going, I swear it’s another language. LOL, I love it though, the three best island accents Bajan, Jamaican, and Trindadian

WTH, reading comprehension JSABP, WesSide got it already. *slapping self upside ‘fro*

500K for 40 min is good for rihanna. we cant compare her to beyonce or US because she really isnt on that level. just a summer or two ago def jam was forcing SOS down our throats. tight dresses, a new image and hair cut help propel her to where she is now… damn now that i think about she lucky to have gotten that much lol

my maternal ancestral line arrived in the u.s. through the barbados-jamaica-carolinas path…as do a lot of u.s slave descendants who have pre-1700 carolina ties. big ups. i plan on going to barbados soon. let them know i am on my way…thanks again, ladies!

^^^as did

*today is not a good comp day for me!*

I was born in London, but grew up in B’dos (mom’s Bajan) and I’ve got lots of relatives there. You will absolutely love Barbados!! Check out the beaches on the West coast, eat nuff flying fish and hang out at St. Lawrence Gap or the Boatyard…who knows, you just might run into Rhi Rhi.

@ Just Sit…

ty and i look forward to eating the fish, riding the waves @ the Soup Bowl (WeSSide has been told that the eastside of Barbados has the better surf!) and getting some research done. but, i gotta tell u…if i c rhi-rhi…ima run “into” her alright…and “over” her and then “back up” and “repeat!” that lil’ heffa annoys me…LOL!!!!!!!

The logic the newspaper used to compare Rihanna with George Michael is crazy. George Michael is a lengend in the music biz. He is as big as Tina Turner and Prince, and has sold over a 100 million albums after 25 years in music hence he would command more money. Ri Ri is 19 and has only been in the music industry for 2 years. It was only in 2007 that she made a breakthrough so she is not an established artist even though she is getting there.

SMH.

***opeining door***

**peeking in room**

@ WeSS if you want to know a few bajan ways of speaking, listen out for how they say here, there, and any word that requires “e” and “r” in close proximity to each other. They pronoune their R’s very strongly. Im a trini but sometimes the bajans make me laugh…”Com eeeeerrre!”

that what white folks do to u .blacks rnothing but mere entertainment

This child’s forehead has its own zip code. Cute girl, but she could rent that forehead out as a 2nd floor unit!

OK. I found a spot. Head to Halle! I’ll be there waiting on you!!

HELL NEW.LMFAO.

NICE TITLE. NOW IF A BLACK PERSON WOULD RIGHT IT IT WOULD B EVEN BETTER.

I DONT LIKE RI RI NO WAY.

Russian people are disgustingly racist. Plus they have a serious national drinking problem. The Russian emigres I went to school with had hideous body odor too. They drink, and they stink, and Russia has to be the most backwards Euro country out there.

This was in Russia, and obviously there are racist tendencies if a paper can write something that offensive. That or the translation is jacked up.

Sad to have to be treated like that though-I’m glad she got some good money out of it. And all of you acting like she’s being paid so little-that’s 5 times as much as Ciara charges so there!

Rihanna got her dough while she can. Who gives a damn what they call her. She didn’t have to sleep with anybody or degrade herself for $500k. Green is a universal language.

Damn! That girl needs some hair plugs on her forhead.

that article was really badly written. hardly understood a word. don’t even know what the point was the writer was trying to make.

and people who keep on about her forehead, how many times u gonna mention it. geez it’s prominent so what? she is gorgeous, gosh!!

it was just 40 minutes too. you go girl!! get paid for nothing.

Octavia

I think the point of the article is that $500.000 was not alot of money for these events, especially for a ‘star’ of her supposed status. The Russian guys jokes that she is young and don’t know better. So the article is playing on the fact she got pimped.

From the article:

This year in a new spirit of austerity and cutbacks, RusAl head Oleg Deripaska treated his colleagues and friends not to a Tanzanian goat apiece, but to the nearest thing for an oligarch: a New Year concert whose star, Rihanna, only charged $500,000. George Michael, who sang for Vladimir Potanin last year for a reported $3.3 million, wouldn’t even get out of a Ritz-Carlton featherbed for that. Still, she’ll learn. As Komsomolskaya Pravda put it, “she’s a young singer, so she charges practically nothing.”

she prolly sucked dicked too…who in da hell will pay 500,000 dollarz for umbrella music!

France and England are not the same as RUSSIA. Russia is an exceptionallt racist country, where the racism is encouraged by their media, too. This is the country where an ll-yr-old biracial girl was stabbed by a gang of skinheads in 2006 or something. Russia and other eastern European countries are STRONGLY against immigration, especially from outside of Europe. They think it’s destroying their culture and have always made no apologies are the growing number of skinheads and white supremicist groups. These countries are not like the U.S., Canada or England, where laws and behavior alike are driven by political correctness. Europeans are upfront about their dislikes and unapologetic about it. And oh, just because someone in France treat you badly, it doesn’t mean it’s because you’re black. Like I said, Europeans are upfront and to the point. Just read any European paper/magazine and observe how they talk about and to their politicians/celebrities/ treat politicial/social issues versus the way things are done on this side of the pond.

@ playlist…

use ur “scroll” option…it goes ↑ and it goes ↓.

unfortunately…there isn’t much we can do for u regarding all the big words!

muhhahahaha!

OMG!! That article is so disgustingly racist. It is clear to see that the Russian media does not have acceptable standards on journalism. The article is rubbish and the person who wrote it is trash. I am a white woman and i must say i’m totally disgusted.

an article like that should never be published.

and i believe anyone black or white should be disgusted by the article.

@ Leeann “By the way the amount charged was 500,000 pounds which is over 1 million US dollars”….

—————————————————–

The thing is…she wasnt paid in pounds…she was paid in dollars…and at the current exchange rate thats less than £250k…so even if she was paid in £500K that wouldn’t be “over 1 million US dollars..the dollar isnt that strong.

I am very offended by the content of that article. It is also strange to read that people are more at odds over the price charged for Rihanna’s perfomance rather than the offensive language used in the article.

It doesn’t matter if she was paid in Pounds, US dollars, the Euro or the Russian Ruble or whether the amount was 500K or 1 mil. In fact none of us really know was was charged…all we know is what some newpaper quoted – and we don’t even know if its a credible newspaper at that. I am more offended about the headline of the article.

^^^^I agree. I was responding to people who think just because she got $500,000 it was alright.

Z

and people who keep on about her forehead, how many times u gonna mention it. geez it’s prominent so what? she is gorgeous, gosh!!

**********

You may not appreciate the comments on her big forehead, but as long as she’s relevant, those comments will keep comming.

@mimi. Its true.

Also, the article was highly offensive and it made a disrespectful and demeaning racist comment about blacks. It suggested that a black woman was purchased and a white man OWNED her……the newspaper certainly crossed the line. I though Russia had moved forward but instead it still has a backward mentality – by the magazine making a racist comment like that and further allowing it to be published and thinking its a joke.

CheChe,

You are correct that my impressions of Russia and Russians are subjective, all personal impressions are. But Russians are the most racist people that I/I have ever encountered. I know the difference between propaganda and reality. I also know what it is like to walk down he street in that godforsaken country; people are openly hostile to you. I once purchased something in a store and the clerk kinda threw my change back at me, afraid to touch my hand like the Sade song “Immigrant”. Have had more crazy, racist incidents in that country than I care to remember. I have been all over the world, from Bogota to Ulan Bator (look it up) and know a little something about people… Russians are racist. Period.

Now that is, of course, a sweeping generalization. Generalization are never %100 percent accurate and you may be a decent person (I’m assurming that you’re Russian). But if you’re defending racial treatment in Russia, clearly you are not a person of color and if you are, clearly you have never been to Russia.

Hi, guys. I’d like to say I’m sure there’s nothing racistic in this column. It is just satiric headline. You don’t have to think in that way about Russia (i’m sorry my Engish isn’t perfect). I’m Russian and I proud of it. And I know that in My country aren’t so many racistic people!!
