Twitter is ablaze right now as a beef between two R&B heavyweights erupt over the social network. G.O.O.D Music singer Teyana Taylor and Roc Nation Superstar Rihanna have been at each other throats for the past few hours…and the Tweets have been merciless.
We cannot be entirely sure about the roots of the beef. The discourse has been going on for a minute. But what we do know is that earlier today, Rihanna posted an Instagram video of her hair stylist Yusef Williams, dressed up long, wavy wig, a pair of Jordan’s and a fitted cap, singing Anita Baker’s “Caught In A Rapture”.
After being alerted by her heated fans about the alleged disrespect and then checking out the video herself, Titi then took to Twitter to call Rihanna out.
The barrage of tweets included these warnings:
Don’t play wit me @rihanna fuck all this industry shit, YOU & I know each other VERY well. Throwing subs 4 wat? u got my #, don’t show off.

You can imagine this didn’t go down too smoothly with Rihanna and the Navy. RiRi then eventually responded with a curt:
Of course, The Navy took the opportunity to hurl insults at Teyana, including RiRi’s best, Melissa Forde
Oh dear. It doesn’t look like this is going to be over anytime soon. Teyana Taylor and Rihanna are both trending worldwide right now and Teyana is still going in.
Uh oh.

Lmao wow! A mess!
idk why Rih started it..i know she has better things to do..can’t be bc she’s bored. smh it’s so silly..they are too old for this
I love both of these ladies… I really really do! But like Teyana said “indirect tweets will get you directly fucked up!” I need for Rihanna to stop being the “industry bully” First Ciara, then Karruche, and now Teyana! Everyone felt sorry for her when that whole “Chris Brown situation” went down and we continue to put him down for that. So why is it that when she is “bullying” these females nothing is said? This was unnecessary to begin with and yes I do believe Rihanna is WRONG! I don’t understand it but it is what it is! Sidenote: I will be purchasing the new RiRi Mac lipstick line next month 🙂
Tsk Tsk Ladies??? I never get involved in Twitter beef, rants, etc. Two weeks ago it was Gucci, now this. I know PR too well and I suspect most to be stunts. They will kiss and make up later. In my Tim Gunn voice…”Carry On”
I’ve been at the orthodontist all day & this was my enjoy oh and the clearance sale at Target. This won’t end well for one of these ladies. Rihanna is already deleting tweets
OHHHHHH YESSSSS! THEY ARE GOING AT IT LOL.. I GOTTA GIVE TEYANA TAYLOR LOL SHE READY BUT I DUNNO RIHANNA GOT THAT VOODOO FOR YOU ITCHESSSSS LMAO….. SHE GONNA CALL MOMMA OLDIE FROM PRINCESS AND THE FROG LOL!!!!
