RiRi is making headlines this weekend after slamming a new Indiana religion law at the March Madness Music Fest.

Rihanna also used her headlining performance to slam Indiana’s controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Although the bill was amended to make it less discriminatory toward the LGBT community, Rihanna still unloaded on the RFRA in an expletive-laden tirade (via ONTD) prior to performing “Live Your Life.” “Who’s feeling these new bulls— laws that they’re trying to pass over here? I say f— that s—,” Rihanna told the crowd, inciting chants of “F— that s—.” “We’re just living our motherf—ing lives. Indiana!” (Yahoo)

This weekend, Jay’s superstar wife Beyoncé premiered a new song on TIDAL.

In honor of their seventh wedding anniversary, Beyoncé celebrates her love for Jay Z on a new song called “Die With You,” which debuted Saturday on Jay Z’s new streaming service TIDAL. Wearing a Michael Jackson Thriller T-shirt and braids under a backwards cap, she performs the stripped-down song while playing the piano. The tender tribute includes the touching lyrics: “I don’t have a reason to be if I can’t be with you” and “I live so I can die with you.” (Rap-Up)

Earlier this week, Jay Z revealed he had one-on-one conversations with each TIDAL business partner.

“I talked to everyone one on one about music and about what they would like to see in a service, and how would they like this to go. I wanted to know if they were willing to take a chance, since everyone’s names are attached and their reputations, too. And I just believe as long as we’re on the side of right, and we’re in this for the right reasons, it will work. It’s just a big opportunity for everyone — not a thing that belongs to any one person. That’s not fair, that’s not a democratic process, and that isn’t the idea behind it.” (Billboard)

  1. This Brainwashed Puppet, Rihanna, is already skating on thin Ice with GOD! She is going to get disaster, if she doesn’t Repent! She thinks her Satanic allies will help her. They WON’T!!! FACTS!!!

    • Facts??? Your beliefs are yours….but be real wit yourself….rihanna is not the worse or only person is skating on thin ice wit god as you call it…well where are your facts?? You can list all her bad choices and they mayb terrible…. but where are your facts that god will do anything??? We will be judged alone at the pearly gates…not sum massive gathering like a high gym assembly…i hope you don’t reply defensive cuz I’m just tryn understand… People who pedal their interpretation of God’s plan puzzle me…what if your wrong…have you ever considered that? You would have wasted the only life you will ever have…there are alot more important things we should want God to deal wit…

  2. Sorry didn’t see this before. I am wondering should i reply…i love intelligent convo…but i am 38 to old to be internet thuggn….i say that bcuz i don’t want to offend anyone…knowledge is power…and of the religious aspect you offered, i can’t not challenge bcuz i don’t follow….but i do try to live a humble & righteous life.

  3. But i will continue my question of why would you want Allah to care about this fabricated lifestyle of entertainers but not with the injustice from around our country and more so around the world? I’m just sayn if you feel like she is workn for the enemy then why should she repent? That is obviously what she wants. A Christian wouldn’t ask a Muslim to repent n vice versa…..maybe its me but its only entertainment….it only becomes more when we forget about our own lives and engulf ourselves in their lives…she won’t go to my grandma funeral and i can’t go on tour with her…two different worlds…again i am not attackn anyones belief…
