RIHANNA MANIA: Rihanna Shops It Up In Sydney, Responds To Louis Farrakhan, & Becomes Nivea Spokeswoman

Mar 02 | by _YBF

Rihanna may be in the land down under, but she's making a lot of noise here in the States. In addition to being named the latest spokeswoman for Nivea, she made headlines when Minister Louis Farrakhan called her "filthy."

And as you saw last week, Rihanna does not mind jumping on Twitter to respond to some trash talk. Come inside to see her shopping in Sydney, and read her response to Minister Farrakhan.

Yesterday, Rihanna was spotted shopping at Sydney's Westfield City browsing in lingerie stores (shocker) and in the Louis Vuitton shop in her fave Louboutin pumps and a button-down dress:

And she showed off her killer legs while down under.

Perhaps it's RiRi's love of sexy clothes that made a certain minister in Chicago call her "filthy."

Last weekend during one of his speeches, Louis Farrakhan described Rihanna and her performances as "filthy." He then went on to insult her fans saying anyone who enjoys Rihanna was "swine." He also applied this term to lesbians and homosexuals.

Well...you know the firey red head wasn't going to let that slide.

Here's what she said:

And...

Just in case Rihanna has to engage in any more high profile battles, you'd better believe her skin will be flawless while doing it. "The Only Girl In The World" has just been announced as the latest A-list spokeswoman for NIVEA in a special campaign to celebate their 100th anniversary.

The 100 Years Skincare for Life campaign with Rihanna kicks off in May and will coincide with the launch of her world tour, which NIVEA is sponsoring.

NIVEA board member, Markus Pinger said, "Over the past 100 years, NIVEA has been an iconic skincare brand across the world that is built on the trust of our consumers. We are excited to have Rihanna supporting us..."

Congrats RiRi!

Yes rih rih's image is racy

Yes rih rih's image is racy but which successful female artist isnt. Did anyone see GaGa Born this way Video.. oh you can tolerate it right .......Hand going in and out a vagina.. really and NO ONE says anything. It's sad when you let the White singers be and the Black singers gets trashed. Most are quick to judge but dont see the bigger picture. Outrage about Rih's behavior is minor in comparison to what the real issues that plague black's society. Stop with the smoke screens. You black People bash Rih and Beyonce for shaking and popping but praise GaGa and Britney for doing the same. Oh and while you're judging if you lie, cheat, or commit adultry it's the same as being Gay. Sin isnt on levels in God's eyes it's all sin. He ways are not our ways worry about your own salvation.

It is not right to judge and

It is not right to judge and as a Minister he was dead wrong. The first person Jesus saved was a prostitue!!! "let he without sin cast the first stone" im not a minister so here's my judgement to all.... If you dont like Rhi thats fine but let me ask you this do you like Ncki Minaj because her name alone brings up inappropriate convos in elementary schools!! My lil cousin a 4th grader asked me did nicki call herself Nicki Minaj bc she likes to sleep with alot of ppl!!! He heard this from a classmate that got the info from his older brother!!! Rhi=easy target; stop it ppl she's an entertainer and least her stage name isnt a sexuall act!!!

She is "FILTHY" . . . anyone

She is "FILTHY" . . . anyone that disagrees haven't seen today's prostitute. I Ask only that you go to your local "Red light district" and see what the street walkers are wearing TODAY. Compare and contract and tell the TRUTH so help you God. She doesn't present herself as someone with modest morals. It's T&A everyday with her. I wouldn't want my sister or mother to immolate her choices. she get's almost naked for boys that don't even buy her album or concert tickets.

"She disrespected Donald Trump???" Farrakhan....(blank stare)...who the f*ck are they.....God!!! I am not a Rihanna stand at all; her performances are racy (not my cup of tea)...but, seriously...one thing I respect about this broad is her balls. What gives a Man the right to judge (that is God's job description). She is right...he obviously watched enough of her performance to characterize her as being filthy (or if he didn't is going off of what someone else described her as). Keep defending yourself Rihanna (she is definitely a Pisces like me)...we don't let sh*t slide (LMAO)..

I jsut think that Rhi should get advice from her camp...She is out of pocket with her mouth piece on twitter almost everyday. Donald trump, she didnt show up at a scheduled performance for cancer patients and was to receive 500,000.00 so he got jennifer hudson. He was PISSED, she overbooked hersel, then talked shi*, BURNT BRIDGE....(no-no #1), Tried it with Ciara, then took it to twitter and battled , (no-no#2) Ciara was wrong as well, but this is about Rhiana. Then the back talk to Farrakann (no-no #3) First of all, why respond at all.... it made her look like an idiot to argue with him, again on TWITTER so its all doccumented, not i heard she said....she wanna be bey so bad, but she is missing the key thing....KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT and just perform....Bety very seldom responds unless its major, and then her camp handles that.....She smiles and keeps it moving.....So she will be around in 25 yrs...rhi, and those odd vocals...not so much. Somebody ELSE may whoop that ass, stay of twiter boo.

IT is a known fact rhianna

IT is a known fact rhianna has been spiraling out of control and having random sex with men . i know that personally to be fact. and i also know for a fact that a meeting was held by her label and people who handle her image to intervene so expect a classier rhianna to come soon if she is smart enough to listen. she is smelling herself right now as a young woman with a lot of sucess right now it happens . but she is young enough to change. i find the ministers comments unfair if he is just calling her out and not christina fakeulara or beyonce or ciara WHO FUCKS THE STAGE EVERY DAMN PERFORMANCE farrakhan killed malcolm x and idolized a pedophile I like that rhianna takes up for herself . but she is a ho and parents need to be careful what they let their kids look up to she is a celeb not a role model. most ministers who scream such hate about gays and calling people swine are the biggest homos and child molesters out there

Rhi is smelling herself, but the problem with Rhi is EVERYONE IS IN HER BUSINESS.....she is out there too much with her personal life....NOW BEYONCE was opposite...yes she is sexy on stage,but very classy at the same time....she does many events for heads of state and her stage presence is different. she reps both sides of the game. I wont speak on Ciara, but to me she is more hip hopish and dance moves. Rhi was pelvic thrusts and grinding talking about GET IT UP RIDE BOY, i mean it is what it is. Also What other dude do u recall bey being with, not local gossip but NATIONAL NEWS? Jay and then he married that ass....so basically she and rhi are not comparable babes...sorry....I like Rhi but she and twitter is not cute...she beef toooo much...its TACKY!

It seems I have to write a It

It seems I have to write a It seems I have to write a brief history lesson and address to all those that are misinformed.To all the pompous idiots disrespecting Islam please stop regurgitating all the propaganda that you hear on CNN, FOX, etc. Islam was always the original religion of blacks in Africa until the whites came over there and brainwashed all of the slaves with Christianity (no disrespect). They used the bible and manipulated the words to keep blacks from rising up and stopping the treachery they committed for the next 400 or so years. Ofcourse you all wouldn't know that because you love to take and believe what "massa" says as true. Why do you think Jesus is portrayed as white when even in the bible (I know this from being a former Christian) it says that God (who is not Jesus) has thick wool hair and that we are made in his image. You all want to disrespect Minister Farrakhan because he called rihanna exactly what she represents. Instead of spewing out your frivolous, unfounded opinions let's stick to the facts. In case you all haven't noticed, she never denied she was a swine either and at the same time called her fans swine as well because she didn't defend you all neither. Who cares if he sounds hateful? He should sound that way in this day & age. Him saying something actually shows that he's more righteous than any of you all claim to be. And to bring up Elijah Muhammad for his actions is right. As Muslims, that is NOT acceptable. Though I also feel that you all have to also call out Eddie Long (a baptist pastor) for sleeping with and molesting young boys, Catholic priests in Africa in Italy for molesting scores of young boys as well, and countless others in other religions. Don't just call out one and not call out all of them. That's hypocrisy. Is rihanna not the one who claimed she wanted to be a role model for young girls or was that her twin? If that was her then she is an "oinking" liar. I don't care to get into mindless arguments with anyone but simply get the point across. The black community definitely needs this wake up call and maybe then our race wouldn't be filled with AIDS and have a decreasing population. Assalamu Alaikum (that means may peace be upon you). P.S.- When I say the words "all of you" I'm referring to those who made the statements that I addressed in this post and wasn't meant to offend anyone who draws their own opinions without being influenced by main media.

But the religion that Farrakhan teaches is not true Islam much the same as what is happening with the terrorists in the middle east are not following true Islam. True Islam is a religion of peace. Farrakhan is Nation of Islam and it is just as hateful as being in the KKK. When Malcolm X went to Mecca and realized the error of his views he tried to change tact and was eliminated for it.

if anyone needs to read a

if anyone needs to read a book its you. you little religious rant is stupid and you are very much ill- informed. first of all islam was the third of the major religions to arrive. first came judaism, then christianity then islam. the three religions are very much entwined. how can islam be the original religion of the black when history has shown many great empires( the egyptians, babylonians, etc) and countries did not follow the major three religions infact they had their own gods and beliefs for hundreds of years until they were either forced into accepting new religions or the leaders willing converted. whilst decrying christianity remember that koran also mentions jesus, unlike chrisitianity muslims believe that jesus was a prophet and not the son of god. the colour of jesus should not be an issue, but people like you always try to bring that up as a some sort of weapon in your bid to damage chrisitianity. just because the bible says he has woolly hair does not automatically mean black. if you have travelled to isreal and gone to the remote areas,then you would not that many of the people their actually have extremely thick hair. hence the what we know as the "jew afro". compared to the average white hair their can justifiably be described as wollen. lastly if you can taint a whole religion based on the actions of a few. after all others can point to mass acceptance of female genital mutilation practised and accepted in many muslim countries, from saudia arabia, to egypt, to malaysia. we can also point to the accepted laws of allowing underage girls, as young as 12 to marry men as old as 60, in countries such as mali and sudan and the northern states of nigeria. we can also point to women the high number of women sentenced to death in pakistan for committing adultery after reporting their rape to the police. do not disrespect a religion based on the actions of a few.

With the blood of Malcolm X

With the blood of Malcolm X on his hands, I think being a murderer is worst than a slut. Farrakhan needs to shut to fuck up and stop supporting a gutter religion that allows grown azz men to fuck young girls as young as ten years old. Farrakhan is an expert on whores and sluts cus that is how Muslim men get down marrying children. Rhianna is a slut and u Mr. Muslim man is a fuckn pedophile. Please address why the US prisons are full of black men , blacks represents 52% of all hiv/aids cases in America, black children are not graduating from school, high teenage pregnancy and this child abuser have time to worry about Rhianna. Why didn't he go after Lady gaga.

Farrakhan is not only a mister but also a classical trained violist and performer. He has a right as a mister, social activist, and artist to speak his mind on a number of issues. Would you call Rhianna's performances stellar, moving, inspiring, and meaningful? Oh I forgot,m she is GETTING PAID so it does not matter that is swirls around half dress doing an simple dutty wine to lack luster vocals. Do you, mama. (I am, being sarcastic).

Can't win for losing when it comes to judgement. However, would I encourage my daughter to see Rihanna as a role model...no. ): Sorry, i just want more of people in how they behave. Not saying that at times i behave poorly, but earning money to do so...just doesn't justify that in my mind.. Also, why does earning a dollar make everything okay to everyone.

(.. And after reading these comments... Just wow..) (Sigh)..."ANGRY AND BITTER" black women berating, shouting-down and belittling another intelligent, thoughtful, well-schooled, and very articulate black man. (...And why not...? They've had 25-years of Oprah..!! They won't stop till they reduce every black man to their "very-own... Tyler Perry"; his dress and dark-and-lovely withstanding...!!) So now this... "uproar" after the minister addressing the very obvious - Rihanna's onstage "soft core porn performances." Even after Oprah Winfrey's "complicity-in-silence", regarding those lesbian teachers raping/sexually abusing those little girls at her school in S. African girls, there was never this... "volume." So let me TRY to understand this - everyone applauds those little girls for writing that letter, and making that video, regarding Lil' Wayne (addressing his supposed "misogyny"); but someone speaks-up 'bout Rihanna ONSTAGE shoving a microphone up her crotch, during HER RECENT PRIME-TIME PERFORMANCE, while singing: "Come here Rude Boy, are you big enough...?" "Come here Rude Boy, can you get it up...?" Where's the "moral outrage" (that should have been directed at Rihanna) that was THEN 'let loose' upon Wayne? Isn't Rihanna a FAR bigger International Star/sold more than Wayne? So NOW do y'all see why that Super Bowl add, with that overbearing, burdensome and angry black woman was so believable? So NOW do you see why they call black women ANGRY, BITTER and EMASCULATING....?? (Rihanna and Beyonce can get a pass, but Wayne, and Minister Farrakhan, are held up as a monster...!)

Sistahs don't take that bull crap that yall be trying to pull and that is why you run away, because for real all she wants is someone who resembles GOD and that will bring out in her the beauty of her majesty. The reason that the black community has gone to hell is because the Black Man is a coward. Plain and simple.
