Rihanna, We Get It. You Like Being Vulgar: A Mother’s Rant

CommentWritten by Tamika Haywood >> [174 views] January 10th, 2010 21:09

Since the release of Rated R, Rihanna has been trying her hardest to live up to the title. But now it’s becoming clear that she is trying a little TOO hard with her latest single, “Rude Boy,” and its promo photoshoot.

We know from previous interviews that she does NOT want to be a role model. But on the flip side, she is using that same star power to work with the world’s largest bone marrow donor center, DKMS, to find a Bone Marrow donor for one of her BIGGEST fans… 6-year-old Jasmina Amina.

I already know as a parent, I can never tell Rihanna to cover up or stop showing my daughter all this vulgar behavior. Rihanna is a 21-year-old woman, and I do know it’s my job to shield my child’s eyes and ears from such things that may be a negative influence.

But I will say one thing: Rihanna, if you don’t want to be a role model, do all of your charity work involving children and young adults anonymously so impressionable young girls like Jasmina are not first in line for an autographed copy of the album that features lyrics such as:

“Come here rude boy, boy
Can you get it up
Come here rude boy, boy
Is you big enough…”

Trust and believe, my child will get yanked off the line trying to buy an album with lyrics and imagery like THAT.

We all have to take responsibility here… I’m just saying. [Kanye Shrug]

My problem with this is the damned cigarette. Yes, I smoke. Seeing people portraying it like it’s cool pisses me off though. Especially being that she IS a role model whether she wants to be or not. Any youngin’ who decides to copy that probably doesn’t know that besides being deadly, it will ruin their singing voice.
