Months after Rihanna became every New York Knicks fans' worst enemy following a public rant against star player J.R. Smith, the R&B diva has decided to take on the Empire State.
According to reports, RiRi has packed her bags and is moving into an apartment worth millions.
Rihanna is moving into a swanky $14 mil apartment in NYC — after fleeing L.A. in the wake of two break-ins at her West Coast home — but she’s not giving up on L.A. entirely. The 4600 sq. ft. penthouse apartment is in a luxury building in SoHo. Rihanna’s renting it for 39k a month, but the crib was recently on the market — with a $14.6 mil asking price. The 2-story home is stark white … with 13′ ceilings, concrete floors and views of the Empire State Building, and the NY skyline. We’re told Rihanna will still keep a place in LA — NOT the Palisades home that was burglarized — but will spend most of her time in NYC. (TMZ)
RiRi put up an open-ended Instagram post bidding farewell to the Big Apple after lashing out at Smith last spring.
Rihanna aka Badgalriri on instagram might be packing her bags from the big apple for good.Earlier this week Rihanna made headlines after blasting New York knick’s player JR Smith. Well today she posted a pic of her self with the caption “#Newyork you were good to me what will i do with out you”.Does this look like a farewell post,do you think Rihanna is moving away from New York.If so what city do you think Rihanna will move to.

A couple days prior, Smith said his focus was purely on helping his team survive the NBA playoffs and not RiRi’s disses.
J.R. Smith commented about Rihanna attacks after she lashed out on a Knicks fan who he blamed her for J.R. Smith struggle on the court during the Knicks/Pacers playoff series. The Knicks player told ESPN New York sportswriter Ian Begley, “I’m not worried about Instagram, I’m worried about the playoffs!” (M Starz)
The music diva went off on Smith for unknown reasons days prior.
The Pop Diva, who is known to sit courtside at NBA games, aired out Smith in response to a Knick fan’s accusations that she was to blame for Smith’s god-awful 28% shooting against Indy. Smith had been linked to the Bajan beauty after he was seen partying with her at her tour after party after the Knicks netted their only victory of the series in Game 2. After @peruvian_gawd called out the Unapologetic chanteuse on IG, he posted a screengrab of her incendiary response. “f–k you and your wack ass team!!,” Rihanna wrote. “Nobody don’t want that desert thirsty n—-a!!He fuckin up cus his ass be hungover from clubbing every night during playoffs!! So your issue ain’t with rasshole me.” (RapFix)
Coincidentally, they both were spotted hanging out at a New York club earlier the same month.
Before being suspended for elbowing Celtics guard Jason Terry in Game 3 of the first round, Smith was excellent, shooting 48 percent, including 4-of-9 from 3-point range. Last week, Rihanna and Smith were pictured partying at Greenhouse, a club in Manhattan. The two were rumored to be dating last year. Rihanna appeared to be replying to someone commenting on one of her photos when she outed Smith’s hard-partying exploits. (NY Post)
