"We don't need to be putting black women against each other!"
After the 2017 Grammy nominations were announced, fans noticed that Rihanna's Anti wasn't nominated for a golden gramophone — despite receiving nods in eight others. Then when she liked a fan's Instagram photo calling out the fact that RiRi was snubbed while Beyonce was given an Album of the Year nomination for Lemonade. This quickly led to rumors about the "Work" singer throwing shade at Bey.
Well, Rihanna has responded to all the hype and wants everyone to calm down.
"I never actually read your caption, thought the pic was funny and moved right along," she wrote in the comments of that post. "Til I seen it pop up over and over! I'm petty af, yes. But this is just unnecessary! I wish y'all would drop this topic and see things from the bigger picture! We don't need to be putting black women against each other! We deserve to be celebrated, and the Grammy Academy agrees!"
