Rihanna has made it very clear in the past that she
has no desire in being a role model. The pop singer wears t-shirts and jewelry
emblazoned with dirty words and regularly reminds us via Twitter that she does
not care about being a role model for her fans who are predominantly young
impressionable girls.
In a 2009 interview, the pop star addressed her
violent encounter with then boyfriend Chris Brown and explained that she made
the decision to walk away from the relationship for the sake of her female fans
saying "Even if Chris
never hit me again, who is to say that their boyfriend won't? Who's to say that
they won't kill these girls? These are young girls and I just didn't realize
how much of an impact I had on these girls' lives until that happened."
The
24 year old is clearly aware of her strong influence on her fans, in case she
had forgotten, she was reminded earlier this year when Time ranker her a Number
#.... 100 Most Influential People
List.
It seems that Rihanna is desperately trying to do
everything she possibly can to move away from this responsibility telling Vogue
Uk "See, people – especially white
people – they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The
things I say in my songs, they expect it of me and being a role model became more
of my job than I want it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it.”
Her actions have gone on to prove her lack of interest in being a role model as she took to Twitter/Instagram and posted images of herself doing something that is most likely illegal on top of a bald guy's head at Coachella Festival.
In an attempt to prove just how rebellious and
controversial she is, today Rihanna posted pictures of herself dancing with a
female stripper and throwing cash on another female stripper as she captioned
the pictures “ROCstarshit my daddy would be proud” and “RoleModelShit”
Ok Rihanna we get the message, you’re trying to
live like a ‘rockstar’ and show us all that you’re bad ass. But surely, it kind
of defeats the purpose where you are posting these pictures yourself?
