Rihanna
Rihanna's pop music career has hit a massive decline. Her current copyright infringing CD "Rated R" has flopped all over the world, struggling to go gold, whilst ticket sales to her current tour have been terrible. According to a published report, only 20% of the tickets to the tour were sold, which is very poor by anyone's standards. The tour has also been a mess, with online videos of the so-called singer falling on her backside on stage.
Since her career hit the skids, during the fourth quarter of last year, her married mentor, Jay-Z, who signed her to a record deal at age 16 and has been having sex with her for years, scaled back public appearances with Rihanna altogether. After her dubious Grammy win for the stolen song "Umbrella" that saw her riding high on the charts and in the sales department, Jay-Z was seen everywhere with Rihanna, even more than his wife, Sony singer, Beyonce.
Jay-Z and Beyonce
Rihanna and Jay-Z were frequently seen together at night clubs and hotels, which was a blatant disgrace, as the former drug dealer is married, but clearly does not take his vows seriously. However, this is Jay-Z's way. He is fickle and has no integrity. Then again, neither does his wife or Rihanna.
Rihanna has grown bitter over the decline of her career, Jay-Z's abandonment and her record label's failure, regarding her current release. However, it was said by a New York label executive, "If she does not like the way we do business she can go home" to Barbados. Rihanna's not innocent in any of this either, as she is well aware that she has been engaging in conduct that is not only immoral, but illegal as well.
