“That’s not me. That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art … I just want to make music. 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 wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it.”
– Rihanna opens up about not being such a saucy minx in real life. I think.
Does this quote confuse the hell out of anyone else? Because I think what Rihanna is saying is that she’s not really as trashy as she makes herself out to be sometimes and that white people … I don’t know. I really don’t. Is she saying that she says some inspirational things in her songs and that people want her to exemplify those things? Because I thought she just sang about whips and chains and more different rough sex.
Can someone please offer up some clarification here?
This white person doesn’t want her to do anything. Particularly make what she calls “music.”
I’m just a white person so what the fuck do I know?
Does she even know any white people? Doubt any of us want her to be a role model, except as an example of someone trying to do a poor Lady Gaga imitation.
I feel like she might not know the definition of a role model…
Ouch. I feel bad for her white fans.
