Rihanna Reportedly Gets Drake-Dedicated Tattoo
Rihanna reportedly got tatted for Drake, so we know it's real.
Another day, another Drake and Rihanna report. This is actually the second one today, so forgive us. Last night the two made their feelings for each other as clear as possible by sharing on an on-stage kiss after Drizzy brought out the singer at his "Summer Sixteen" tour stop. This followed footage of the two getting coupley with each other during a Miami afterparty. Now a report has surfaced revealing more details concerning their Miami meet-up, and it's getting real, real quick.
TMZ reports that before Wednesday night's Miami show, the two hit up a tattoo shop where RiRi got herself some Drake-dedicated ink. Rihanna reportedly got a shark tattoo on her ankle, paying homage to the fact that Drake took her to Toronto's aquarium and bought her a shark stuffed animal-- this stuffed animal actually makes an appearance in that selfie Drake posted with badgalriri after the MTV VMAs. Check out the photographic evidence via TMZ in the gallery above.
The new tattoo was reportedly done by celebratory tattoo artist Keith "Bang Bang" McCurdy, and Drizzy apparently got some new ink as well, although no word as to what he got, yet.

Rihanna Takes Jab At Steph Curry Following Game 7
Rihanna throws salt in the Warriors' wounds.
Stephen Curry and the Warriors were hearing it from everyone last night after failing to close out the series on their home court, and allowing the Cavs to recover from a 3-1 series deficit. Even Rihanna was trolling the league MVP, taking numerous jabs at Curry via instagram while lauding LeBron's greatness.
Steph was not himself throughout the entire series and he came up small in the crucial Game 7, scoring just 17 points on 6/19 shooting and turning the ball over four times.
On the other hand, LeBron was an absolute beast, capping off a remarkable NBA Finals run with a 27 point, 11 assists, 11 rebounds triple double, including three blocks- one of which came against Steph, again.
Following the Warriors loss, Rihanna was there to throw salt in the Curry family's wounds.
Also, Savannah James better watch her mans.

Drake & Rihanna Surprise Fan With Cancer In Miami
The Make-A-Wish foundation sent Drake and Rihanna to visit a devoted young fan in Miami.
Last week, as the "Anti" tour hit Miami, Rihannabrought out Drake to perform their smash hit "Work," currently the No. 1 song in the country. During their stop in Miami, the two megastars took the time to visit a young fan of theirs named Megan, who's currently undergoing cancer treatment.
Megan certainly looks elated in her picture with both Drake and Rihanna, though the highlight of the visit, organized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, was meeting the OVO rapper, for whom her obsession rivals any girl her age. "BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! I MET THE LOML," wrote Megan in the caption of a video post she put on her Instagram, one that has been reshared via a Drake fan account.

Rihanna Covers British Vogue
Rihanna graces the front cover of British Vogue magazine.
With her new album, Anti, out now, Rihanna continues her heavy promo run as she graces the latest cover of British Vogue.
Serving as her second cover this year with the magazine, RiRi uses the platform to showcase her new high-end boot collaboration with designer Manolo Blahnik. In the cover story, Rihanna can be seen modeling the denim-themed collection, including a ridiculous pair of thigh-high boots (see pic in gallery).
“The day I see a woman in the street wearing my shoes… I am sorry for that woman because I’m going to literally run after her, shouting, ‘Stop! Selfie! Who are you? Where did you get them?’ I’m going to have a moment!,” says Rihanna about her boots.
Hitting stores on March 5, Rihanna’s collab with Manolo Blahnik will break the bank, costing anywhere from $895 to $3,995. Coming in six different styles, the boots will only be available in-store at Blahnik’s New York, London and Hong Kong flagship stores.

Rihanna Postpones “Anti” World Tour
Fans will have to wait a couple more weeks to see Rihanna live on her "Anti" tour.
Fresh off her canceled performance at The Grammy’s this past Monday, Rihanna unfortunately has some more bad news for her fans today. According to the Los Angeles Times, Ri Ri has postponed the start of her Anti world tour until next month.
Originally scheduled to kick off February 26 at San Diego’s Viejas Arena, the tour will now begin March 12 in Jacksonville, Florida instead. The first eight shows, which include San Jose, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Austin, New Orleans and Atlanta, have all been moved from February and March to May now.
The reason for the delay is “production delays” Rihanna’s camp cited. Look Travis Scott to open up for Rihanna throughout the North American leg, while The Weeknd & Big Sean are set to take over those duties in Europe.
Below is the new tour dates.
May 1: Phoenix, Ariz. - Talking Stick Resort Arena
May 6: San Jose, Calif. - SAP Center
May 9: San Diego, Calif. - Viejas Arena
May 13: Dallas, Texas - American Airlines Center
May 14: Austin, Texas - Frank Erwin Center
May 15: Houston, Texas - Toyota Center
May 17: New Orleans, La. - Smoothie King Center
May 18: Atlanta, Ga. - Philips Arena

TIDAL Blames Leak Of Rihanna's "ANTI" On Universal
There are all sorts of questions surrounding the release of Rihanna's "ANTI."
On Wednesday night (Jan. 27), Rihanna's highly anticipated album, ANTI, leaked on TIDAL shortly before its official release. After it officially went live on TIDAL, Rihanna gave away 1,000,000 free downloads of ANTI. She was able to do so because Samsung had apparently already bought that many copies of the album before its official release.
Speaking with SPIN, TIDAL's director of Marketing, Grace Kim, revealed that the leak was caused by a "system error": "Look, we know what happened here, in the sense that unfortunately we still rely on systems, and there was a system error. But I don't think it hurt it at all."
After the initial interview, another TIDAL rep followed up with SPIN and told the magazine that the "system error" was caused by Universal Music Group and not by TIDAL. Universal is a distribution partner of Roc Nation, the label on which ANTI was released.
Other than the blame being directed toward Universal, the details provided by TIDAL on the error that led to ANTI's leak are vague. Two days after it was leaked, ANTI was declared platinum by the RIAA.
Unlike the RIAA, Billboard and Nielsen aren't incorporating the pre-release copies purchased by Samsung into their first-week chart numbers. According to SPIN, the album was purchased over 400,000 times on TIDAL, and those numbers will be taken into account by Billboard.
ANTI was released on iTunes and other online music stores on January 29. The album's physical release is set for February 5.

Rihanna Signs $25 Million Deal With Samsung
Rihanna inks a $25 million deal with Samsung to sponsor her upcoming album.
As if you needed further proof that Rihanna is killing it on all cylinders, the unstoppable femme fatale has just signed a $25 million deal with Samsung, reports New York Post. For those keeping track, that's $6 M's more than Drake's rumored deal with Apple Music.
Rihanna and Samsung have apparently been working on the deal for 7 months. The deal will reportedly sponsor Rihanna's upcoming album, Anti, as well as the tour that follows. Samsung, in turn, is looking for Rihanna to help promote the company's new line of Galaxy products as well as its new music streaming service, Milk Music, which will presumably gain some sort of exclusivity to the music off Anti.
Rihanna is currently signed to the management wing of Roc Nation, and reports say that Jay Z was instrumental in helping work out RiRi's new deal with Samsung. There seems to be a conflict of interest between TIDAL and Milk Music -- with regard to each platform's access to Anti, but Jay Z and Samsung have worked extensively in the past.
The disclosure of Rihanna's deal comes at the same time as a rumored deal between Apple Music and Adele for an even bigger amount -- $30 million for her upcoming album. If this is all true, congrats to both women. Rihanna wasn't lying with "Bitch Better Have My Money."

Rihanna's New Album Title & Cover Art Revealed
Rihanna's "ANTI" is coming soon.
Rihanna gathered media and fans at an L.A. gallery tonight to unveil details of her new album, and the title has now been confirmed. As some guessed early on in the night, the tentatively titled R8 is now called ANTI, and has some pretty awesome artwork to go along with it.
The cover is designed by contemporary artist Roy Nachum, who worked on the concept with RiRi.
So far, the release date has not been revealed, but we assume it's on its way. We're thinking it's either tonight or Friday, but we'll have to wait and see.

Rihanna Covers The Fader For Their 100th Issue
Rihanna is featured on the second cover from The Fader this month.
The Fader already unveiled a huge cover for their 100th issue, with Drake picking his teeth with a toothpick on the celebratory issue. However they've just now unveiled a second cover, with an equally big much bigger star- Rihanna.
RiRi looks back at us as she takes her own photo for The Fader's new cover, rocking a baby pink outfit. In other photographs from Fader's shoot, Rihanna lounges while smoking on a blunt. Take a look at a few of the photos above.
Read the full cover story here-- although don't expect much in the way of Q&A, as Rihanna apparently only granted them five questions to ask, via e-mail at that.
You can scoop up your own copy of The Fader's 100th issue on October 27th.

Did Rihanna Just Squash Travi$ Scott Dating Rumors?
Rihanna seems to suggest that she's single. Why? Because she's a proud ____.
The hip-hop gossip mill has been consumed by rumors of a new relationship between Rihanna and Travi$ Scott. The pair has been recently spotted together a few times out and about, and the most convincing evidence came on Friday night (Sept. 11), as we received video of the "BBHM" collaborators dancing all up on each other, and perhaps making out, in the corner of a NYC club during a Fashion Week after-party. That was enough for the gossip sites to run wild and confirm a serious relationship between Scott and RiRi.
Well, not so fast, TMZ. Rihanna has just posted an Instagram that suggests she is still a single lady. The post states a question, "Omg why are you still single," and an answer: "cos I'm a cunt." Now, perhaps Ri just posted the meme for a laugh, but as most of the media attention surrounding her of late has focused on her alleged relationship with Travi$, it seems like a sly way for her to squash the rumors.

Travi$ Scott & Rihanna Were Getting Pretty Close At The Club Last Night
Further evidence that Rihanna and Travi$ Scott are an item.
Rumors that Rihanna had sparked a new LaFlame have been making the rounds since earlier in the week, and new footage of RiRi and Travi$ Scott getting pretty close at the club Friday night definitely supports the story.
While it's kind of hard to make out (no pun intended) footage obtained by TMZ shows the two artists dancing up on each other in a dark corner of the cub at Rihanna's fashion week after-party. After that, we get footage of the two turning up to Rih's "Bitch Better Have My Money," a song Scott also worked on.
