Discuss Beyoncé

The NY Times asked Rihanna about the rumors she has a collab with Lady Gaga in the works, and she flat out said “No.” Maybe because she followed me on Instagram. It’s not in the books right now.

I am nowhere near surprised at all. It was clearly a tactic to spark attention & interest. Happy Rihanna put the rumors to rest.

No, she said she'd be open to a collaboration but she thinks her fans think she's collaborating because of that Instagram follow. You make it sound different than it actually is.

And no, it wasn't just for attention as she clearly doesn't need it and all it did was spark fan theories and nothing more.

At least Rihanna was nice about it.

Rihanna is the type of person who flat out shades someone if she doesn't like them, so her saying she'd be open to a collaboration shows there's no grudge or whatsoever.

This probably flew over your head since being this nice about someone is something you have personally never experienced laughing

She said EXACTLY what i wrote. I’m not making it sound no different than what Rihana stated. It’s cute she’s open to it but it’s not HAPPENING. Gaga knew exactly what she was doing when she added her. Highly doubt Rihanna’s interested in working with her.

Sparking fan theories is “attention seeking” and trying to spark “ interest”. Making ppl believe A collaboration was going to happen with one of the biggest pop stars out right now “Rihanna”.

She basically confirmed a reggae album too. A Gaga collab wouldn’t make sense for that kind of record.

I honesty feel if Rihanna wanted to work with Gaga it would have happened by now. As she said it’s not in the book (meaning not interested).

Now you're either playing stupid or you are stupid. You wrote: "... and she flat out said “No.” Maybe because she followed me on Instagram. It’s not in the books right now". You downright made it seem like she said "No, maybe because she followed me on Instagram and wants to collaborate but I'm not doing it" when she said her FANS think there's a collaboration "because they saw her following me on Instagram" and that she would want to collaborate.

Gaga never made it seem like they were collaborating. She just followed her. She didn't make people think like that, the people chose to think like that. You're acting like she tweeted "I'm working with Rihanna on a new song" or something which never happened.

Then why the f_ck did she feel the need to add that she would like to collaborate then? You're playing really dumb right now.

I'm happy they're not collaborating. They both need to deliver on their own. Rihanna does her thing, Gaga does her thing. No need to pair up just to pair up.

Now you're either playing stupid or you are stupid. Gaga is selective on who she adds. She knew adding Rihana would caused the reaction it got. Trust me there’s a reason why she added the biggest popstar in the world right now & not Jessica Simpson. Very predictable and transparent.

True that she's selective but it still did squat and will do squat in the future because there's NO COLLABORATION. You're just assuming all that but that doesn't change that it was a follow for no reason at the end of the day.

And STOP the biggest pop star in the world nonsense. There's Adele and there's Beyoncé laughing

@LadyFlopgaCocaineQueen said:

Yeah because Gaga got the attention she clearly wanted anyway.

She would've still slayed the MET Gala and had people sing Shallow to death on TV regardless of that follow. Not you trying to imply the follow will somehow be the reason for a successful era lol.

I can't at this board.

Yes Beyonce, Adele, Taylor & Rihanna are the biggest pop stars right now. It’s unfortunate Gaga isn’t added to that list.

Please STOP acting like Gaga ADDING Rihana wasn’t for some type of GAIN on Gaga’s part.

Rihana isn’t going to say “ew no” during a interview. She’s being professional. But someone who’s a huge fan of hers it’s clear she’s not interested.

OF COURSE Rihanna of all people would be shady as f_ck if she never wanted to work with Gaga. I'm not a big fan but even I know that. You're not a fan at all then.

Even if she was professional, she didn't need to add that last part. Lord knows YOU cut it out so why wouldn't she? joy

"I guess it's because she followed me on Instragram but it's not in the books right now" is professional enough. She didn't need to add that she's open to a collaboration unless she meant it. But... she did wink
