Are you ready for it? Because it’s kind of a doozy …
“The ultimate n*ggabitch.” A Dutch magazine called Jackie did a piece on Rihanna, and this is what they had to say about her:
She has street cred, she has a ghetto ass and she has a golden throat. Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is the ultimate n*ggabitch and displays that gladly, and for her that means: what’s on can come off. If that means she’ll be on stage half naked, then so be it.
When the article came out, people were naturally a little taken aback by it. It’s ok though, because the editor-in-chief, Eva Hoeke, explained that it wasn’t racist at all, it was just a poor use of slang that’s heard “all the time on tv and radio.” That wasn’t good enough for Rihanna, who took to her Twitter to get her feelings out:
I hope u can read english, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print! There are 1000′s of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That’s your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past! You put two words together, with the intent of abasement, that made no sense…”N*GGA BITCH”?!….Well with all respect, on behalf of my race, here are my two words for you…F*CK YOU!!!
Well said, Rihanna.
Since the magazine was published, the editor-in-chief has been let go, even though, as she continues to claim, she didn’t really do anything that wrong. See, “n*ggabitch” originated in America and it’s used “to describe a style of dress.” It’s not racist, it’s a legitimate fashion term. Get it?
What a hot mess though, right? And why has Rihanna had to go through so much racist bullshit recently? Honestly, just give this girl a rest.
