Rihanna Sells Her Pad For $5 Mill+The Dream Explains Why He WON'T Write For Ciara

Not only did Rihanna just go Gold with her latest album, Talk That Talk, but she just unloaded her problematic L.A. home for $5 million.  Deets inside, plus what her good friend The Dream had to say about why he won't be working with Rih's frenemy Ciara...

She purchased the home over 2 years ago.  Yet hasn't even lived in it.  Thanks to severe water damage, Rihanna had to put her 10,000 sqft, 8 BR, $6.9M home on the market 6 months ago.  The Beverly Hills Post Office area home was listed at $4.5M, but was actually just sold for $5.03M.

So she can celebrate her sell, plus her TTT album nabbing Gold certification on December 16th after surpassing 500,000 units sold.  Congrats!

Meanwhile, Rihanna's homie The Dream has some words about the Ciara drama he spoke about a while back.  The writer and the "Promise" singer seemed to have been good friends kicking it courtside at games, making music together, and hanging out together.  But Dream isn't trying to continue that ish.

He told media a while back that he just wouldn't be writing for Ciara anymore, so folks assumed there was beef.  But Dream told Tim Westwood from BBC 1Xtra in Part 2 of his interview, it's only because of contracts:

“I have a contract under Def Jam so it’s only certain people I work with. [The executives] were real smart by putting that in there, I made them pay for it.”

By the way, L.A. Reid recently said Ciara's new album is coming along.

Check out the full interview below:

 

 

Also, Dream just tweeted the new cover for his new single "Roc," which should drop by this Friday:

Check it.

He's not writing for Ciara

He's not writing for Ciara because of ROC Nation, Jayz is behind the scenes making sure no other artists succeed besides Beyonce, and Rhianna..............PERIOD, fuck you DREAM! I wish bad KARMA on ROC Nation and anyone involved, only because they have interferred with other artists trying to get ahead.

The people that write rihanna

The people that write rihanna music make more money off of it than her. Now she loses over a $million on a house, she's being sued by several people, she spends her days hating on those better than her on twitter and encouraging her fans to do the same, and still to dumb to know that being hateful, evil, ungrateful, low life, mean and nasty isn't paying off HaHa! God is Good.

Just the facts (No cartilage.

Just the facts (No cartilage. No Bone. But only flesh!).. EVERY man Rihanna has publicly consorted with has suffered. Rihanna brings nothing but bad luck and grief to EVERY relationship she's been in: 1.) Chris Brown. We ALL by now know the "Feb 8th, 2009" story; or do we really?! Did Chris, for no reason, just "go-off" on Rihanna? Or was it Rihanna, who had the long-established habit of lashing-out in anger and frustration when she couldn't get her way? Wasn't it 2007, during an interview with a Minneapolis radio station, when she bragged 'bout smashing bottles upside her brother's head? Sure she did: hiphopnewsdaily(dotcom)/archives/2239 Wasn't it Rihanna who read Chris' text messages, on HIS phone, then flew-off in a rage and then began to "SLAP, PUNCH, AND STRIKE" HIM NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE HE DROVE" on that Feb 8th, 2009 evening? Why yes!! ..Even TMZ, then quoting their LAPD sources said reported: http://www.tmz.com/2009/03/09/brown-wants-misdemeanor-plea-no-jail-time/ ..Everyone thought Chris' career was finished, but God, LORD OF ALL THE MIGHTY, thinks/wants different: #1Movie. #1CD. Sold-out shows. Standing-room only, Neilsen-grabbing/record-setting Live Appearances. etc, etc.. And the last SHALL be first: the Prodigal Son TRIUMPHANTLY returns! 2.) Matt Kemp. Before Rihanna, Matt Kemp was an up-and-coming L.A. Dodger. Coming off the 2009 MLB season, he enjoyed much success. Not long after, he was THEN seen with Rihanna on that boat in Mexico. He was pictured groping her ass - "Matt/Riri", as a couple, begins! He then signs a 2-year $10-Million contract. Everything looked good for Matt, he was WELL on his way; NOT! ..Come the 2010 MLB season, he begins to slump. The slump began to deepen and grow longer. There was 'talk of Matt' "NOT hustling"; talk of him being lazy. Talk of him not making the "extra" effort. He then didn't even want to travel with the team - he preferred to travel with Rihanna (she already had baggage handlers at the ready)! The dissatisfaction with Matt grew into 'open' "Trade him/demote him to the minor leagues" talk. The Dodgers finished with a losing season, and Matt was the symbol, and at the epicenter of that vortex.. Then comes a video, late 2010, of Matt picking up groupies outside of some L.A. club: "Matt/Riri" are NO more! ..2011 MLB season begins. Something is then different 'bout Matt! No one can put a finger on it. He's hustling more and trying harder. His slump ends and he begins to 'turn it around', so much so, that he THEN enjoys T-H-E absolutely BEST season of his young career. Matt Kemp finishes a close second to Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers, in the NL's MVP voting. The L.A. Dodgers are pleased; they've NOW signed him to a HUGE contract. But wait, what's this, Matt and Rihanna are pictured together in London?! Yup! It's true! They're ALSO pictured together in Vegas over the NYE holiday/festivities. It IS true: Matt/Riri are again a couple! While Chris Brown finally saw Rihanna for the festering plague that she indeed is, learned, rebuilt his career, and moved-on: upwards; Matt Kemp plays the fool!! He's the epitome of "The Dumb Jock"! There's just something..'negative' 'bout Rihanna. While we don't know her personally, we're witness to the destruction, confusion, sadness, and broken spirits she leaves in her wake. X,Y,"and Z" -- OUT..!!!

These stupid people on here

These stupid people on here arguing about someone who doesnt even know you or even care for that matter. Rihanna is a devil worshipping whore! A blind man can see that. She can't sing or dance but because she gives sex shows at her concerts, idiots love her. It's sad that some people can't even think for themselves. Well, I guess that's why she is your god and her brainless stand worship her. That is all!

@anon @ 944,,,,its the Navy as you already know by now Sweets Rihanna's Net Worth has been at 60 Million for some time now and she made 29 Million this pass year and wait until they Count them Numbers for this year after May. It is not my place to try and tell people who they should love and not love in entertainment but to me if you dislike her so much then please explain why it is that people spends so much time going on and on about a artist they dislike. I mean who in their right mind talks about some one they hate all of the time XYZ?

@ Anon @ 9:44 While you

@ Anon @ 9:44 While you might be right in your thinking but the truth of the matter is Rihanna and chris was once a item and they loved each other until it all went down Hill and you can say what ever come to your mind because no one gives a rats behind its over, nada and life goes on and Rihanna is doing her thing and she is straight throwing it down. She could have set around with pity and griep after the man she though loved her treated her worst than a dam dog and now since she has picked herself up from the Gutters of despiar and lifted herself all the way back up to one of the Biggest pop artist this Decade now you or name calling. Well i and others don't give a dam keep commenting and keep us lifted up on high. Theres many who will always find a bunch of nonesense to talk and try and spread on her but the point of the matter is that Rihanna is a artist and they you know work for a living entedrtaining the people and that is what she has been focued on doing and doing a very good job at it i might add. And what chris is doing and how hes flopping at the bottom of that barrel is not my problem but yours. And as long as he has fans like You and XYZ Trying to keep the heat up on each and everything rihanna does the Harder Rihanna's fans/Stans will fight for her and her rightful place at that table of Music History makers and hit makers and theres no one and i mean not a living soul whos going to keep us away from our Destination And you CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK, HATERS. BIGGEST DIGITAL SELLER IN THE US DIGITAL HISTORY!!!!!!!!

How can someone play the

How can someone play the victim when they were indeed victimized and their abuser openly admitted it. He never said otherwise or fought for his innocence. What is really disturbing is how far some of you gullible women would go to pick up for a woman beater. Good he has moved on..as long as Rihanna is far away from that monster and out of harms way. Its all good. He ain't a good catch. He's nothing but a liability.

5491,,,,,And as if what

5491,,,,,And as if what "SR" Say is gospel with her hateful behind. Theres no one who can truefull say when another is Happy or sad. Many people never get Married or hooked up ask thr Million of Welfare Mammas whos Rihannas age with 4 and 5 children already! Why do others try to pass Judgement of Rihanna all kif the time??? Why do she have to be sad???What if she was married with some children and she was unhappy????? Katy got married and is now divorcing. Look at the divorce rate all over the place? Rihanna is Married to her Job and rightfull so. If shes with a fellow then hes ugly, not successful or a clown like others has been in her life and she got rid of them and she did the right thing and now shes moving on and when Mr. Right and her find each other it will be a Wrap. Where is Cassie, love life and she has child, where is wayne love life, Where is kelly love life, where is ciara's love life, keri, adele, ga ga, theres many who do not have a Man in their lives and they seem just great so why do Rihanna's Life have to be sad because shes not Dating Right Now. If theres some one for her she will end up with them and in good time so find something else to try and throw at her to see if it sticks!

5491,,,,,Beyonce is at the

5491,,,,,Beyonce is at the top of her game and Rightfully so, Rihanna is still paying her bills and doing the dam thing and no matter what many might think Rihanna is and has out did many her age just look arouund you and see who else is doing International Tours and Pulling in that kind of Paper. Sine she is always compared to the big girls all of the time and especially Bey theres no wonder that Rihanna Raked in more than Jy z, Beyonce and west combined and theres no telling what else is out there for Rihanna shes still growing, learning and she has taken the music world by storm. With Adele being #1 and Rihanna #2 as name by Billboard theres no reason to have to put to much stock in Negative Vibes toward Rihanna and if you want to analyze then take XYZ'S Comment and since XYZ is Team Breezy, take chris, kelly, beyonce, ga ga, Britney, Katy, Mary j and list them all and then list over 50 different things that Rihanna did this pass year besides her "Loud Tour" add Rihanna's 29 Million plus her 90 Million and not even counting her other Ventures and see who come out on top? Remember that the counts for that forbes list goes from May to May of each year? Stay mad and keep fighting with your own self over Rihanna's many Great Career Moves Because the Fact that Rihanna has Kicked A*%** and taken names. Don't it feel like you have been Kicked below the belt when you BAD MOUGH Rihanna so hard and then you turn around and she has made another big a*# Splash that is sending Shock Waves all around the net and the world. Case in Poing It is stated that RIHANNA IS THE TOP DIGITIAL ARTIST , EVER ON HER SITE SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT RIHANNA Is doing something good, better or best. @XYZ,,,,,With your attitude toward Rihanna and the Hate you habors and spew for her Just so you'd know i do not see chris brown name on that Digital List at all Perhapd you just might want to take that up with SOUND SCAN, about his name not making that list and XYZ This is yet another Power Move By Rihanna that you or more than Welcome to try and shoot holes in. Oh and they or also reporting that "ttt" has gone Gold in the US so yet another Notch in Rihanna buckle. Get started haters because theres quite a bit to try and talk that talk about And add that Rihanna's ad for Armani Jeans & Bra has been Voted the sexiest of 2011 and she bet Victoria Secret Model and even Hedi Klmu out!

Love Rihanna's music and I too play her CD's all the time. Every song on all of her CD's are worthy of listening to...no skipping to the next track...lol. Not having met her in person, I hope she is as nice as she appears to be. Sometimes celebrities are way different in person, but WE have to realize that the image is not always how that person is. She seems genuine to me too. Get it Rih, and let the haters keep on hatin.

Lmfao! Omg you're so right!

Lmfao! Omg you're so right! Rihanna is just trying to milk it as much as possible while she can because she knows that she doesn't have a real talent, what keeps her relevant is her pretty face, good stylist, songwriters and so on. Catchy #1 records does not mean that you're a true and talented artist. Her album is trash tbh, it's really just her talking about that she likes sex, how often she wants sex, how she likes to have sex and that she has sex! And that place she sold looks like a facility why the fuck would she get it in the first place? -.- and 12 mill for that? LOL I'M SO DONE!
