The New York Daily News takes some quotes of Rihanna’s and tries to use them as proof of a feud between Beyonce and the young pop singer from Barbados:
“I have always looked up to [Beyoncé],” Rihanna insists in the new issue of Trace. She may be sincere, but pointing out Beyoncé’s age may go over as well as Mariah Carey’s “compliment” to Madonna in the famous interview where Carey mentioned that she used to listen to Madonna’s records as a child. “I don’t see why people wouldn’t compare me to [Beyoncé],” the confident upstart declares. “I must be doing something right.”
Now, I love a celebrity Freudian slip as much as the next gal, but I feel like they’re really reaching here. But hey, maybe they know something I don’t.

Beyonce you are beautiful, talented, and smart. I’ve always have enjoy all your songs, and dance moves on music videos. I’m a dancer myself and I would love to join your video one day. Rihanna still taking notes from a pro, don’t pay attention to that rookie. If Jay Z wants a rookie instead of a pro, than he’s way to low class for a high minded diva. I love you Beyonce! You don’t know me, but you are the type of woman that’s filled with many blessings and beauty. I learned a quote from my co-worker…”You are too blessed to be stressed”. Don’t let this “young minded, mini you – still your image and she’s not what that is. Haters are trying to find a reason to bring you down, because they’re jealous. But baby, I’m a woman! You’ve shown me what beauty looks like inside and out. I love that song “Irreplaceable”. You don’t need to have a man that put you in a position to be in a low class competition. I understand Rihanna is young, beautiful and dumb. But in my eyes Beyonce you will always be beautiful. I loved those photos shot on Dream girls, when Jamie Fox was singing to you. Beyonce trust me I feel your pain, because you’re in love with a man that’s full of shit. I love Jay Z, but I look at him as any other man. I feel like he’s disrepecting you! And if he love you he will put you 1st before anything (Rihanna). You want to be happy in your relationship, not cursious and lied to. Being in love can sometimes drive you crazy, it can cause you to lose yourself. Before I go there’s another song I love “Me, myself and I”. You’re a strong black woman by yourself and trust me there’s plenty of mens out there who would love catering to you.
Take care.

BEYONCE IS SO BORING. Rihanna is something different. And as long as we are all talking trash here. That bitches teeths jacked up, I saw a picture the other day she looked like a damn man with no makeup. She trys to damn hard to be classy. And her whole solo career has been planned out by a bunch ” do it by the book” agents, and shes been set up with the best treatment from producers for her music, which she does not make on her own. At least rihanna started from nothing and worked her way up. Beyonce is a wannabe diva who can’t decide whether to act like a ho, or a class act.

Why is beyonce so insecure? rihanna is young and charming. I iunderstand this two people are getting married then why should jay-z go messing around with other ladies. What is so appealing in Jay z all that he ‘s got is money and nothing to make ladies go sexy hot red it is so surprising. Rihanna deserves a guy who is as hot as she is dont you think so? Again people calling rihanna a whore what is all that about if you don’t give your man enough and the best ofcourse he will look for better options. Don’t you know tastes goes with age. Again Jay z needs to explore those fresh cuties i cant blame him though am not a good fun of his. Beyonce should find another tactic of getting her man back she should not ring the alarm on rihanna cuz rihanna has already rung her it on her and that is why she jumped to release that song. She older than rihanna and they have nothing in common why cant beyonce leave her in peace. She says she cant bare seeing another chick on Jay z arms what is she gonna do? [word removed] the hell out of the gal or her man. Pull up your socks you are scared that rihanna has better looks and might steal your fiancee. For your information he has the right to change his mind cuz you are not yet his wife.She has the right to be jealous but she has to work extra hard cuz everyday beatiful gals are born. Rihanna continue with your good work. She is young yet she has achieved so much am a very good fun of hers. You And jay z can hide under your umbrella and kick beyonce out in the rain. You’d rather be with the handsome guy xris brown other than jay z. And again rihanna has enough money why be a gold digger for jay z. Big ups gal rihanna. Don’t let people make you look like scare crow and they are the ones.
I`m sorry, Bey, but Rihanna it´s better then you.

In my opinion everyone is entitled to do what they want in their lives. Just because they are extremely fortunate doesnt mean they arent people. Why are they worried about a man anyway? I have nothing negative to say about beyonce or rihanna. A man is whats distracting these young ladies its so much to do in todays world…..CONGRATS TO “B” and RIHANNA…..u both are doing a wonderful job and are both beautiful woman!!!!

adrian | February 15, 2008 at 11:05 am
I’ve heard Rihanna sing live and she didn’t sound too good….Beyonce has the better voice hands down!!…but they are both beautiful so I can see why Jay-z would be torn in between the two.
jd | February 17, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Why is there all this hate against rihanna? The girl is not trying to take over…she’s just trying to do her thing. Leave her alone. She’s even said she looks up to women like beyonce. I don’t think you can compare the two…that’s like giving the same test to a freshman in high school and a senior. They’re not even int he same category. Rihanna in a few more years will be just as hott as beyonce. Beyonce wasn’t as hot as she is now…when she first cameout…everyone starts from scratch.
Vocally, beyonce has a stronger voice. Rihanna in my opinion is kind of nasal.
They are both pretty, i think beyonced is a little prettier though.
Body wise, definitely Rihanna. She doesn’t have a disproportioned body and her weaves look more natural. She is also more exotic.
They can both dance. But Rihanna is a better dancer…she can move her hips and whine better and move faster because she’s smaller. Beyonce has more of a woman’s body, Rihanna has a perfect dancer body…curvy but it can be ripped. Beyonce is curvy but has to work really hard just to get toned. So i give her props for that.
Beyonce is a queen of pop and R&b.
Rihanna is pop and Reggae…so she brings something different to the table.

i really don’t see why everybody is so mad? i really don’t see were rihanna made a statement against beyonce all i heard was a compliment ” i must be doing something right” that’s a compliment not an insult. get some lives and recognize a damn compliment. having a body don’t make you a star. having talent does which rihanna and beyonce both possesses…… she said people have compared her to beyonce so i must be doing something right… i hear a compliment… boy the things people want do to keep drama going.
ALEXANDRA | May 2, 2008 at 1:22 am
beyonce is it! she was hot from the beginning sweetie because eeevery one was interested in the lead singer of dc, her voice is great, her moves are great…rihanna is in the pop thing so basically white people love her…BUT WHAT BLACK PERSON IS GONNA GO GET A RIHANNA CD…BLACL PEOPLE LOVE THEM SOME MARY’S BEYONCE’S KEYSHIA COLE…NOT SOME POP REGGAE GIRL!, rihanna does have a good body but can never beat b’s curves…new artist will come out and kil rihanna like me, cuz im of haitian descent, im sexy and i can sing waaaay better then her! white people,black,hispanics ASIANS LOL LOOOVE B.she can headline her own tour and selllll out, rihanna can barely pack madison square…THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHA B!
alexandra | June 15, 2008 at 6:06 pm

SHE WILL STILL REIGN BITCH

What some people call hate on rehanna is no hate . It’s calling your attention to be respectfull, decent, well brought up person. And that is to recognise the fact that Biance has been in this business before her and she has been groomed my Jayz who happen to be B’s fiance then.
The fact that she’s young is not a license. We are all once young or younger and she will be older along the years. Give credit to who it is due! When you respect your elder, your younger ones will respect
you too.
There should be no comparism between them, ’cause each has her own talent.

Needless to mention why Beyonce is much better woman! There are always girls wanting other
womens men!
Sandy | October 13, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Let’s be honest,Rihanna is drop-dead gorgous.Beyonce is attractive,but Rihanna belongs on a runway with those legs!!I use to like Beyonce,but over the years she’s getting progressively fake.She’s starting to look more and more like a white girl.Rihanna resembles more of the original black woman.Her style is a lot more respectful and she’s selling her talent not rump-shaking.Beyonce has built this image around half-naked weave to the floor wearing under-cover sluttish image.Don’t get me wrong,vocally Beyonce crushes Rihanna.As for style and looks and also respect Rihanna wins hands down.Try putting a short hair cut on Beyonce now that would be a nightmare with those teeth and receding gums and those ears that stick out like a sore thumb.NO No.And about the Jay-x thing that shit is funny.I know Rihanna don’t won’t that old soggy nuts Jay-z.I’m 35yrs old and trust me Jay-z could’nt possibly be fucking Beyonce right.I feel sorry for B,cause Jay-z is far from being a stallion and she’s a young woman.Money ain’t everything B,but your sex life is.Rihanna baby I hope to see you and Chris together forever.Your too YOUNG to be fucking with an old man who’s been around the block with babies and shit.Let Beyonce have that old man,you deserve someone young and fresh just like you and we want to see in the future those beutiful babies you and Chris are going to have unlike Beyonce and Jay-z,ain’t nothing gonna be cute about them kids trust me.Beyonce should have got her an athlete or something,cause to me that shit is all about the money.Two thumbs up to you Rihanna and Beyonce to you stop copying off people,lay-off on the weave and start acting like the Black woman you were born as.And every woman needs a stallion why you married Jay-z I’ll never understsnd that.Somebody who already has kids and stuff,you deserve better than that boo.As for Rihanna and Chris I love yall,to me you guys are the next Will and Jada!!!!!!And to all those haters of Rihanna go fuck an old man like Beyonce!!!And watch out for worms!!HaHa.
camille | October 30, 2008 at 1:55 pm

rihanna is the same as beyonce.she looks up to her like her role model so i don’t see why people should hate rihanna cause she knows how to compliment other people.maybe u should listen to what rihanna says and u will see what i mean. RIHANNA IS THE SAME LEVEL AS BEYONCE

i think riri is so real , i luv her hair styles and her orignal ways, she doesn try to hard to be gud. i think riri is really talented and is gud person and still young. i think jayz luv rir as his younger sister.beyonce is fine she is better than riri cause hse staretd way back already but i think she is fake and always wants to be the best and better tahn everyone, for me even kelly rowland much prettier than bee, beyonce be nice ot irir wor together as a team dont be jelouse. ur are both great and talented . i liv rir legs , body , bee body fine but i rather be sexy
