He then says to her: “Six years ago, that would have been a really nice compliment… Now? I don’t know, not so much.”
But Riri was quick to shut this rhetoric down, replying: “People always seem to forget all the great things that people achieve. She has accomplished so much; she’s an incredible dancer, singer, she makes great hits. People always look at the negative things, so that’s a compliment — I’ll take it.”
The audience cheered Rihanna’s comments, with the X user observing in their post’s caption: “Look at how fast everyone switched up when they realized Rihanna didn’t like the Britney shade 😭” quickly racking up thousands of likes, retweets, and replies.
“Black women were so nice to Britney! It’s also kinda crazy how much the media added to it. They were HUNTING for women to dog pile on her,” one person noted in response to the video. Somebody else wrote: “Rihanna always been on the right side of history.”
“What a classy response!” one more added, another said of Rihanna: “She was an up& coming young woman (she was still in her teens here i think) seeing lots of success worlwide and practically everyone knew her name by that point + there was no social media to police her so she could’ve went along but chose not to, says a lot about her character.”
While one more concluded: “i always know what type of person someone is if they make fun of britney.”
