Ne-Yo and Chuck Harmony Defend Rihanna’s Murder Worshipping Lyrics…

Here we go again. Yesterday we asked, should Rihanna really be held accountable for her new single because she is not the writer. Well, now the writer and the producer of the song have something to say. Check out what Ne-Yo and producer Chuck Harmony had to say…

NE-YO:
I’m listening to the track, and all I can see is Rihanna and some random person sitting across from each other at the table with a gun sitting in the middle of the table and playing Russian roulette. And I just started thinking,
‘What would go through your mind if you was in that situation?’ It just all started coming together, and Rihanna has never been one to be afraid to take a chance, especially with me. She’s always game to do something a little different. I played it for her, and she loved it — went in and knocked it out. The rest is history.”

“It’s definitely dark, but if you think about it, ‘Thriller’ was dark, but it’s one of the biggest-selling records of all time. Nobody’s really going out to play Russian roulette or thinking about killing themselves or nothing like that. It was just an interesting topic over a crazy beat, and who better to pull that off than somebody like Rihanna?”

Check out Chuck Harmony’s response… We think Tiffany hit his b*tch nerve.

Chuck Harmony:
“There are no satanic messages in the music. Maybe if we did a remake of ‘Promise Ring’ (Tiffany’s hit single), then Rihanna wouldn’t be a devil worshipper. People are so closed minded. The song is not literal. Like most provocative art, it’s symbolism. Grow up. I’m never going to defend my art…I create it and then it’s out of my hands. So reviews don’t hurt me, but Tiffany’s unrealistic take on the song really urked me because idiots breed idiots.

Bottom line, she is in the music business so she understands that the song is not indicative of the artist views, but rather, it’s the brainchild and vision of the songwriter and producer. With that being said, to use that song as a shining example of devil worship in the music business, you are saying that Ne-yo and Chuck Harmony are devil worshippers. That’s stupid!! That’s beyond stupid it’s immature. Artist should understand art. So with Tiffany Evans rant, I can safely say that the title artist should not be part of her bio.”

Chuck really seems like he has his panties in a bunch… SMH. If you don’t defend your art, then what’s the point of making this statement???

    Rihanna looks banger-rific in that picture….

  • phe

    I DON’T CARE WHAT NEYO OR ANYONE ELSE HAS TO SAY, THIS SONG IS DEMONIC, AND PEOPLE WHO ARE WEAK MINDED WILL COMMIT SUICIDE AFTER HEARING IT>>>>DUMB ASSES, SHOULDN’T BE MAKING MUSIC LIKE THAT ANYWAY. THERE IS NOTHING ENTERTAINING ABOUT IT!!!

  • http://bossip.com ms.kittyk

    i TOTALLY agree, she in NO WAY, shape, form, or fashion can compare w/thriller or MJ. and aint that Chuck Harmony guy an old man? and hes dissen a little girl?..WOW!!! such a REAL man! DENIED

  • D

    funny him and neyo would talk all that crap…bottom line is…if you’re of a positive source..you will speak and show positivity and if you are not…well…you’ll end up speaking from the “otherside” they may be writers but they don’t seem all that bright…..how could it be cool to talk about taken a chance with your own life??? why didn’t neyo sing the dam song then?? I think we give these people way too much credit…figures they would use Rihanna as the stooge but then again she’s well aware what she’s dabblin in….

  • Tropical English

    Who cares if Ne-yo wrote it, Rihanna decided to sing it so she carries the weight of the song too.

    If Neyo writes a song about all women are black hoes and Usher sings it, is Usher off the hook? NOPE!!

    And finally, why is this grown man going on a rant about thing young little thing? Damn, Tiffany got them ALL shook!!

  • blackbeltshopper

    What a reach…”Thriller was dark”…MJ didnt walk off the set wearing that stuff..unlike Rihanna walking around w/black witchy nails and asking for “dark” music.

    I cant believe he’s defending a deadly game and I strongly agree w/Tiffany. Their is life and death in the power of the tongue. It’s some weak sick people out here and some might be Rihanna fans and try the sick game like it’s fun.No she didnt invent it nor the writers but all are willing parties involved.and should take the heat for it.

    Could you share the facts that you know? I’m not trying to be disrespectful or rude, but unless you can bring up situations and scenarios that support your claim, is it really a fact or speculation.

    Thanks.

    if they felt the need to respond, then Tiffany must have been telling the truth.

    In reference to Chuck Harmony’s comment labeling Tiffany as closed minded:

    You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
    -Matthew 7:13-15 (NLT)

    I don’t think she’ll be too distressed by his response…

    And Tiffany is the least of these problems. Wait til mainstream white folks get a hold of this mess!!!
    ******************

    lol…as far as “mainstream white folks” go…they just asked Rihanna to perform on the American Music Awards the day before she performs on Good Morning America. lol…I’d say “mainstream white folks” have already spoken on Rihanna and her art. and who is this Tiffany chic again? I never heard of her…until she started mentioning Rihanna’s name :-) just like that other teyonne or whatever her name is. all these people are so transparent, pathetic and desperate for some publicity it’s hysterical.

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    I strongly believe she is letting others influence her. At the same time, I don’t think they have her best interest at heart.

    At the end of the day, it’s about money and how to market her for more of it.

    Although I always feel that an artist’s longevity is not guaranteed and they need to continuously strike while the iron is hot, in her case, I feel backing away from the spotlight instead of reinventing herself would do her a world of good.

  • just saying

    and who is tiffany evans? rihanna took a chance. that’s what artists do, at least good ones. she achieved her goal, everyone has been talking about and listening to her song all week.

  • free

    lmao at the comparison to THRILLER.

  • Jazmine

    Neyo comparing this bullshyt to Thriller had me dying laughing. Thriller was art!!! This Russian Roulette shyt is just that…shyt! I admit the beat is sick but just because it comes from and ARTIST doesn’t make it art! AND, the song sends out a crazy a** message! BOTTOM LINE! And Chuck’s take on it is bullyshyt too. “I create it and it’s out of my hands.” What kind of cop out is that? So when the body count rises who’s to blame then???? I guess not you Chucky b/c it’s ‘out of your hands’! GTFOH! There are a lot of children out there and small minded people who are going to take this shyt literally whether you want them to or not and SOMBODIES going to be blamed for it. Just to stay out of the crossfire I wouldn’t want to have my hands anywhere on it.

  • Magz

    They’re pretty defensive!

  • Jazmine

    And you know what….it’s not just Rihanna…she didn’t invent this type of music. Rock and Roll has been playing with this sick shyt for years! All they talk about it killing, death and Satanic shyt but kids have died behind that shyt too and they DO get blamed for it. I just don’t think that’s a song America needs at this moment….at any moment to tell you the truth.

  • http://Bossip amber

    Oh it is like so cool to like say I am going to kill myself, like what a really cool song like ok guys lets go pick up rihanna CD “HE” is like in my mind like telling me to go to the store and like buy the cool CD.” HE” told me to do it like ok i am like scared of “he” like ok I will go buy the CD like it is art and cool and ok

    This is what truly boggles my mind. I’m trying to figure out why NOW all of a sudden everyone is riding hard on these artists when this stuff has been even more blatant for many years before. I feel like people are cherry picking stuff and making a mountain out of a molehill. If there is something sinister behind these artists they will get what’s coming to them, but for me to just be consumed with their ‘agenda’ is a waste of time. These folks are going to do what they want to do regardless of me worrying or blogging about it. *shrugs shoulders*

  • Oh Well…

    if WEAK minded people commit suicide because of lyrics of a song that they don’t understand I say GOOD!!! that’s just Darwinism at its finest…survival of the fittest. we don’t need weak minded fools that would kill themselves over a song cluttering up the planet and wasting resources.

  • Tianna

    And correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Neyo basically tell us that is what it’s about? I saw comments yesterday talking about it’s just a metaphor. Than if it is, why is the writer of the song admitting it’s about Russian Roulette? This question is for all the people swearing up and down that she was talking about unprotected sex…

  • The Best I Ever Had

    @ Oh well

    Why so negative?? That’s not a nice thing to say…

  • Marie

    Did he really compared this song to Thriller??!! There is NO comparison.

    Please tell me how this is a “metaphor” if the negro is saying that’s EXACTLY what it’s about? This is not art, it is mind control. And whether you believe people will kill themselves behind it, just wait and you will soon see…

  • SALT LAKE CITY GAL

    Point blank we are in control people. We buy the albums. maybe they should buy their own satanic music.

  • Caramel Cat

    @millhouse

    Well my question now is, if you know this stuff is going on and that you are a part of the equation then why are you or anyone else willingly taking part in the ‘system’. Is it because you don’t want to find a career doing something else? Can the same evil agenda be applied to things outside of the industry, like the evils of wall street and corporate greed? My point is that your ideology can be applied to things far beyond the music industry if you take out the time to do so. I work for a healtcare company, with the healthcare industry being greedy and ‘evil’ as people may put it, am I now evil? I just have a hard time singling out certain artists that may just be getting their paycheck for things they are told to do, similar to me getting my paycheck for things I am told to do. There are evil forces all around us, it just takes individual realization to deflect these things and keep God in our lives.

    If you worked in Billing, and was told to deny every claim that came across your desk, regardless of merit, would you do it to keep your job?

  • MARK RICH

    Dont get caught up in the hype, which is all this is, do we really believe that the marketing at these arent paying attention to whats POPULAR, I stand ready to get flamed again, but Im say it organized religion is the greatest threat mankind has every known,nearly every war in Human history was influenced by RELIGION, I not an atheist, I do believe in God and the foundation Christianity has laid out for people to live, but every time something threatens organized religion, THEY THREATEN THEIR MASSES WITH FEAR, listening to this song AINT GON TURN NOBODY AGAINST GOD IF YOU ALREADY BELIEVE, NOBODY WORSHIPS RHIANNA,(not like that anyway) so please stop it
    Organized Religion teaches obedience and condemns anyone who falls out of line with this doctrine

  • http://Bossip Sara

    Um guys “HE” is like telling me to like go to the store and like buy Rihanna’s like CD “HE” is like it is good for you and like cool.So i’m like ok cool I will like do what “HE” says it is like cool to sing about killing yourself it is like art brittany like “HE” says so like duh art right like… (gunshot)

  • billie

    And through it all Rihanna has not said a word.

  • Caramel Cat

    @This some Shhh…

    Well I don’t work in billing so it doesn’t apply but to answer your question, I would say yes, I would do it to keep my job but I likely wouldn’t stay if it bothered me that badly. I’d be looking for something else in the process that made me feel less dirty. But remember, this is America, everything started with a big crime, and what is criminal activity considered? That’s right, evil. So we can all dig up something sinister behind the car we drive or the place that we call employment, that’s our society. Sure, there are people who hold more power and can have a larger influence but my take on it is if you feel this passionately about an artist and their music, DON’T SUPPORT IT.

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh…

    @ MARK RICH

    I’m not coming at you brotha, but I believe you are viewing this as it pertains to you. Yes, you are a strong minded brotha, and you can listen to this song and decipher the difference. Others have not been equiped with the tools you have to make that transition. There are youth out here, that are teethering on the brink and look up to Rihanna. This song could make them believe that it is OK to X out there existence.

    Its sad that some random person could start calling people devil worshippers and put it out there with no repercussions. You all don’t know if its true or not. I think the people that hate rihanna are always coming up with the next thing to try to diss her. Now here is the latest thing to explain her success she’s a devil worshipper. What’s next. Darn this girl can’t catch a break. Everything she does, someone comes up with something meaner and meaner to say. Why is it that people only come at you when your successful and making it. If rihanna never blew up, would people still be saying she’s a devil worshipper?

  • Oh Well…

    @Tianna

    it could be about anything you want it to be. ART is interpreted by the viewer or listener. when I heard the song I immediately thought of a confusing, unhealthy relationship. We’ve all been there, where you know something is absolutely wrong and so bad for you…but you stay and play anyway. The thing is this song could be about Russian Roulette the game, a bad relationship, bad choices, doubting yourself but going along with something anyway…the possibilities are endless. Which is what makes this such a great song.

    Why is it that only when a person has achieved some level of success do people start coming out of the woodworks with some warped theory to explain their success. Its just sad that some random person could just put it out there that rihanna is a devil worshipper, and everyone just eat it up. Wow. I really believe the song russian roulette is not about the obvious. Thats the way most songs are, they are never really about what you think. I think the words are symbolic for something deeper. People who hate and are jealous of rihanna’s success are going all out to try to destroy her. Only since she started blowing up have all the strong hating begun. Would all of this be relevent if she wasn’t an international star. Would anyone even care if she was just a little reggae artist back in the islands. Darn sucess could surely make you or break you. I hope rihanna keeps her head high and develop strong armor to protect herself from all this negativity.

    :-) you sound every bit educated and classy. open minded people usually tend to be both those things. there is a lot to be learned from and to ponder in Entertainment…but that is what it is. if one can’t understand that they should quit investing in entertainment and start investing in their own mental health.

  • LaDonna

    I like the song and I can understand what the song is actually saying.If you listen to the words of the song or even read the lyrics then you would not sit here and that its a devil worshiping . People are so close minded that it’s makes no sense. How is it that you love these artist that rap about going around killing people and selling drugs, but when someone comese out with something talking about russian roulette you get affended? Dont be a hypocrite.

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh…

    OK, let’s pretend we are not talking about your pespective. Can we agree that impressionable youth can take this song the wrong way? Someone who has had some trouble in their lives and listen to music as an outlet. They happenned to enjoy Rihanna and follow her music. I know you wouldn’t, but what about them. We as adults have to take some personal responsibility. Rihanna could have easily deferred this song to a more mature artist with a mature audience. She jumped on it because she thought it was a hit and would further her fame.

  • whozoer

    are you serious? is he serious? it’s just art now? this is how we excuse hip hop in general. we think everything is right and justice in the name in art when it’s actually have a helping hand in keeping the sheep in line. Rihanna and everyone around her are a tool for the elite, the elite who wants to keep power in very specific hands. She is the leader of marching young men and women into directions they don’t need to go into in the name of “pushing the envelop” in the name of “art”. please.

  • Caramel Cat

    @This some Shhh…

    I see your point and I do believe that there are impressionable minds out there that are young, but these artists are NOT responsible for these kids. When my mother was growing up she said her parents didn’t want her listening to James Brown’s ‘S3x Machine’ because of it’s suggestive lyrics, when I was coming out my mom didn’t want me listening to the Snoop Dogg – Doggystyle album because of the violence and cursing. My point is that every generation has had its ‘negative’ influences but people didn’t go out of their way to trash the artist because they knew what their role was as a parent with rearing that child properly. The game hasn’t changed, but proper parenting has…IMHO that’s not the responsibility of the artists. It can be attributed to many other things like taking prayer out of school and cartoons being more violent, but then again, that’s when the censoring and raising comes in…

  • MARK RICH

    Regardless, Christianity says to love EVERYONE, even the ones who have wronged and or will wrong you, and to be tolerant of ALL GOD’S CREATURES, and like Oh Well I believe there is a creator, but the Devil not so much, HUMANS ARE EVIL, cause look at animals in the wild, they dont cause unwarranted evil or harm, they just dont, ONLY PEOPLE DO, and about all this Mason and Illuminati stuff there have always been Fraternity orders, people in powerful positions to ensure prosperity to like minded and related individuals, but to say they have some supernatural power on their side is a stretch, Do you know who vilified these organizations THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, why, cause they want no one to challenge their power, Look it up

    @ Caramel Cat

    Yes people are bored! Its a recession and people love to give themselves something extra to worry about. Look @ all the other generations the people always were the most paranoid thinking of anything and everything to be scared of. I actually feel sorry for Rihanna. It is so much negativity about her I couldn’t imagine her being my sister or cousin because I would want to blast somebody’s head off. I just hope her younger brothers are dealing with all this negativity the best way they can and I hope she is too. I don’t think she deserves all the ridicule she receives. She barely speaks so idk what she did to all these people that brutality hate the girl like they do.

  • Caramel Cat

    @MARK RICH

    I can respect your reference to the crusades and how religion has caused wars in history, but I can tell you as a Christian that the biggest trick the Devil wants to pull is to make mankind believe that he doesn’t exist. He does influence people and things on this earth, but the stronger force is always God and having faith in Jesus Christ.

    For that dude to make a comparison to Thriller is so laughable. SMDH…

  • millhouse

    but when your mother was growing up… she want bombarded with satanic images all day… they played other music on the radio beside james brown… but anyway james was down with occult too… you cant compare the past and toaday.. we live in a completely different society…

    the minute rhianna signed on as a cover girl she signed on to be a role model… so she should act like one
    the minute beyonce signed on for loreal she became a role model for young girls…

    its cool to sy that kids shouldnt look up to them and that parents should od a better job but lets be real…. after school most of us came home to parents who were still at work , and the babysitter was the tv and radio… how can u be a parent when satanic images are being sent directly into your home…. as a parent you cant be around all the time… i mean kids spend more time in school then they do with their parents anyways…. so no you cant stop your kid from learning these things…

    @millhouse

    I’m about to be gone from the gig in a few minutes but I have to say this. As someone in the industry, you should know this…the ‘stuff’ these artists are doing will not stop, right??? Well, what does that mean? It means that the parenting HAS to be stepped up. These artists have no intention of changing or doing good according to your personal experience and accounts. Us blogging about it back and forth will not end it and even if there is temporary uproar, they’ll likely find a way to slither back into young people’s minds and pockets…so, with that being said, PARENTING has to be in full force now more than ever before. If that’s not done, then what is your solution??? Have a great weekend…I’m out…

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh…

    @ Caramel Cat

    But sista, I’m not talking about me or you or my children. I’m speaking for those who didn’t have that guidance. They are the ones that’s vunerable. As an adult, I have to accept responsibility for my actions. I can’t sheild my kids and have no regard for other children. It won’t work. That will bring back negative Karma to my own seeds that I’m trying to protect. As an artist they are signing autographs and speaking to these youths directly. They know the impact they have on them. Neyo knows those little boys that stand outside after his concerts have a little sugar in their tank and idolize him. The problem starts when he reacts to it, then try to claim that it’s not his responsibility.

  • Young Lady

    I’m not gonna lie, for some odd reason I believe that a certain group of entertainers do worship the devil but as long as you have your belief in god that’s all you need. I sin all day long everybody do that don’t make us any different from them a sin is a sin in God’s eye so why hate them? But people wake up there is gonna be a war between good and evil in the end. Don’t be blind to the obvious sometimes it really is in your face black and white.

  • Vonne Loca

    The eff is he talking about Thriller being a dark song? Michael Jackson ain’t never made no ish like Russian Roulette. As long as Rihanna sounds like a baby goat getting 40 lashes she will never be on the same level as Michael.

    Ne-Yo just lost major brownie points in my book. SMH

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    I think the music industry DOES influence our youth!! It’s not just the songs but the images most rappers try to portray.

    Remember when basketball was the end all that be all and every other kid wanted to grow up to be a professional basketball player?

    Why is it now that kids want to grow up to be rappers? Well, I’ll tell you. The difference is NOT in the money because you had children wanting to be the next Michael Jordan and picked UP a basketball.

    Now, you have children that want to be rappers while trying to emulate that lifestyle.

    It’s not the money (although it’s good) that gives rap a bad name. It’s the lifestyle that these rappers try to live up to.

    I’m no where NEAR into hip-hop like I am other genres of music but it’s sad that even I can mumble a few words of it–because it’s EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!

    People wake up! This isnt art. Ne-Yo didnt deny the song was about “other stuff” he said…”I’m listening to the track, and all I can see is Rihanna and some random person sitting across from each other at the table with a gun sitting in the middle of the table and playing Russian roulette
    . And I just started thinking,
    ‘What would go through your mind if you was in that situation?”

    WTH???? Why would you think such a thing, and why would you make a song about such a thing? Who does that??? SMH….

  • hi hater

    ITS AMAZING HOW BLACK PPL THINK THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE WEALTH. WHEN A ARTIST MAKES MONEY NO ONE QUESTION THEM,BUT AS SOON AS A BLACK PERSON START MAKING MONEY OUR OWN BLACK PPL START COMING UP WITH ALL KING OF SHYT. HOW COME JAY Z WORSHIP THE DEVIL BUT NO ONE QUESTION M&M> IS IT BECAUSE HE’S WHITE HE SHOULD HAVE MONEY? IT SEEMS AS IF PPL WOULD BE HAPPY IF JAY Z WAS STILL SELLING DRUGS. YOU PPL NEED TO GET A LIFE AND STOP WAITING ON THE WELFARE CHECK

    You have so much sense it KILLS people. I always read your comments and I think you are like me: You dont neccessarily put it past them, but you arent hopping on the band-wagon either getting caught up in the hype. Good for you! What ppl really dont understand is that they are making a BIGGER spectacle of the whole thing. Which in reality ppl probably wouldnt even be paying attention to these “hidden meanings”. The more attention you give it (if it is even legit), the more power you give it. Ppl on here saying companies perform spells on them to brainwash ppl. LOL!!!!! And if that is true, one thing about spells is, that they dont work unless you believe they do. So just like the skeleton key, you can get so wrapped up in it, that you invite these things in. Stop giving it ENERGY ppl, if you really want to defeat it. Notice Freddie Kruger can only live if ppl fear him.

    Dont believe the hype!

    *claps* for neyo and chuck. i guess everybody missed the memo when she said good girl gone bad

    @george smiley ur r so rite 99% of these entertainers have handlers (mk ultra) ……this is much bigger then this song and its tru meaning its about this whole industry and how they want ppl to stay with vails over there eyes …..tiffany jus tipped the ice burg…..ritual ri ri is payin the price whether we see it or not… whether ppl believe it or not the seed has been planted….jus the beginning

  • MS. SIPPI

    Aint no explaining this.. I am now convinced that hiphop aint what I thought it was… Nobody is who I thought they were. Now I UNDERSTAND WHy.. THE LORD.. IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM.. SAID “It would be easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into heaven.. Oh my.. it is just disappointing.. I rather sing in a heavenly choir.. Than to sell my soul I can see through there soul.. I am awakened.. now it all makes sense.. I just pray that Kanye gets delivered… and let God and God only use him..

  • MS. SIPPI

    It seems hip hop is about those antichrist and homosexuality.. Neyo needs to shut his fruity, liver, lips up.. he one of them too..

  • ?

    HA!Whatever, they still look guilty.It definitely should not of been a single.

  • http:/yahoo.com trigger

    i don’t know why neyo said thriller but rihannas distrubia has drawn a similarity to thriller. and they have written about that the critics have . but just like my neice says some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope. and don’t hate the players hate the game.

  • Vividly Crazy

    The song isn’t that great to begin with…and I’m not gonna comment on the Devil stuff.

    But this chick needs to take control of her future cause whoever is controlling the strings is leading baby girl down a bad path and its looking real bleak. Plus before she used to look comfortable in her skin just being her but now it looks so forced…like its not even really her anymore…its sad.

  • MS. SIPPI

    Jesus was the one who said “if you are not with me you are against me..” and the Lord says “Darkness see light.. and comprehend it not”.. is all I can say to those who don’t see that this is wickedness in high places.. Even Oprah want to play God.. It’s “One faith and baptism” So how in the world she come up with her own religion.. She can’t even stop eating.. how she gonna lead somebody to Christ.. sitting on the couch with Wonda Sykes glorifying homosexually.. I like to hit the floor when she told that Woman.. she looked better after coming out.. as if it is something she does not have the courage to do. Then Cici and Bebe singing on the show. They are with them too her voice sound angelic but her eye and the subliminal message was literally and figuratively dark.. It was the mention of grace that touched the spirit but the other lyrics sounded like someone guilty of selling their soul not to mention the gay rumors surrounding her and her brother.. Jesus..

    Ne-yo just said a whole lot of nothing. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s a dark, sadistic song.I hope people warn their children about listening to it.Young minds are impressionable. Why do people choose this kind of music over something positive? Feed your mind with good things, people.

    I too know Chuck harmony personally, and do agree witht the accusations of being both HOMOSEXUAL and a DEVIL WORSHIPPER. He claims his dad was a pastor, and that he was Christian, he even played the organ for a local Atlanta church on sundays. I dont’t buy it, he is GAY and SATANIC

  • jamaicanmafian

    I know im a tad late on my reponse but…..Ne-yo did not compare Russian Roulette to Thriller..he used it as an example to outline that songs with a dark theme/content have gone on to be successful…like Thriller….and Rihanna doesn’t need to explain her self..its either you get it or you don’t…and i see the song as a metaphor for relationships..never have i even thought of satan….or demons..and that Tiffany girl is annoying…as a child I bet she jumped off the counter thinking she can fly like Peter Pan!!!!!!!

    im not saying she a devil worshipper coz i dnt think she is but suttin dodgy goin on ere………

    This is the most inane criticism I’ve ever heard. Those of you who call it ‘demon worship’ most of you don’t even know what that entails and the do’s and don’ts of someone who’s actually caught up in that. Please educate yourselves. To you retards who are against it because people might take it literal – how silly. I’ve been there, I’ve been so suicidal that I tried it. Listening to Kurt Cobaine and reading about River Phoenix didn’t make me want to do it more so hearing a song is not going to for the hand of someone in that position. Talking about suicide or the contemplation is done to garner attention 97% of the time so really and those who actually come to the decision are not going to be swayed by a bloody song about Russian Roulette.

  • R U Serious

    @word

    Now that’s a powerful song :]

  • Christina

    I agree with Tiffany Evans, there’s a lot of ignorant people that do not know what lies behind the “sucess” in most of the artists. Some people tend to think well it’s just a song, but other people live, get encouraged and sadly get suicidal thoughts from messages specially when they are encountered with a message from their prefered idol. It’s a beautiful thing when an ecouraging message is passed on but now artists are misguided by their selfish minds and do not think on what they are actually doing. They just care about themselves and what it is they can do to bring themselves more sucess, and money, they don’t have any of you in mind in fact they can care less, and most people like yourselves that are lost in this materialistic world will just go with the flow, and follow whatever it is they say even if it says to grab a gun and kill yourself like yours truly rihanna is encouraging. Ok.. maybe you won’t go as far as killing yourself but the fact that it is “OK” for this song to be heard just because it is rihanna’s song it’s just sick.

  • Elaine

    I’m Shock that Ne-yo, had the nerve to compare Micheal Jackson music to this stupid song he wrote, you just want to get paid…please young man don’t every compare Michael Jackson to this foolishness you wrote, Micheal Jackson is gone home to be with the good lord. Rihanna still has problem it shows and she will do anything to avoid her issued she’s having.. This young lady Tiffany just spoke the true and she will be bless for that, Chuck the fool is so silly he is not professional at all, enough on him & Ne-yo, Rihanna…

    It’s funny how everyone is refering to this thing as bopohmet, it’s actually Baphomet. Loud and so wrong are all of you! Maybe another manifestation of IGNORANCE and plain ole STUPIDITY!!!

  • Sista Steinway

    Okay, yes, the music is dark, but a lot of singers go through this type of phase. Mary J. Blige just came out of one where a lot of her songs were so depressing, now she’s starting to come out with more inspirational stuff like “Just Fine”. So it suits where she is right now for Rihanna to be singing stuff like “Russian Roulette” — every great singer knows to sing what they feel and know, and this is just where she is right now. I’m not worried — I know she’ll come out of the darkness. I will admit that I am a little bit prejudiced — as a musician, I’m more about the music. And I know one of the producers, Chuck Harmony, personally — so y’all leave my boy alone!

    Rihanna is no role model and she is not trying to be one. Rihanna mind is on your money and career.

    You either love her demonic stance or not, this is what she is about. This is her marketing tool so get over it and find a life.

    White America will eat her up right along with Harry Potter, Disney and the rest of the demonic White American Dream.

    Heck even I like Disney Word and I see Dominic zhit there in plan site. If you don’t like her music don’t buy it, if you don’t like her yodeling don’t listen to it.

    Rihanna; Chris Breezy Brown still love you!

    We all need God and Christ in our life especially all the above, I pray every day. I wish to enter the kingdom of have but some want to go to hell, that is their right. In order for the devil to come in your life you must ask for him to come in, it was their choice.

    So let them be happy with their satanic family. Know one is telling any of the above they have to go to their concerts or buy their music.

    It’s a choice!

    You people are making an uproar simply because it’s called ‘Russian Roulette’…I’m sure half of you all didn’t even know what that was is. It’s pretty obviously that you don’t, too.

    I have more sense to know it has a deeper meaning than just the actual title of the song. You people are so clueless. If you don’t care for the song, the artist who sings it, the writers of the song THEN WHY ARE YOU FLOCKING TO POST COMMENTS ABOUT IT?!

    If listening to a song makes you want to commit suicide, then you already failed at life anyways.
