Rihanna denies feud with Beyoncé over 2017 Grammy nominations

Singer Rihanna has denied having feud with Beyoncé, after rumors had it that the Barbadian singer shaded Queen Beyoncé over Grammy Nominations and now wants everyone to “drop this topic.” 

Rihanna dismisses the suggestion of her having a beef with Jay Z’s wife, saying, 

“We don’t need to be putting black women against each other! We deserve to be celebrated, and the Grammy Academy agrees!”

According to reports by Yahoo Celebrity, Rihanna accidentally fueled longstanding rumors of a feud between her and Beyonce on Instagram on Wednesday, following the announcement of the 2016 Grammy nominations.

 

It all began Rihanna “liked” a photo on a fan account that read, “Congrats and all to @badgalriri and all for her 8 Grammy nods but tbh f–k them because they snubbed her for Song of the Year and Album of the Year… I think they didn’t want her tied or passing someone else *cough cough* [lemon emoji]… f–k you Grammys.”

Beyonce's Lemonade got nine nominations, making her the most-nominated female artist in the history of the Grammy Awards and also the artist with the most nominations this year; while Rihanna, Drake, and Kanye West who all got eight nominations each are second.
Speaking about the feud, Rihanna said she was just “liking” the photo of herself and didn’t read the caption and after realizing what was written below the pic, she posted the following in the comment section.

“Here’s the deal,” Rihanna told Vogue in March. “[People] just get so excited to feast on something that’s negative. Something that’s competitive. Something that’s, you know, a rivalry. And that’s just not what I wake up to. Because I can only do me. And nobody else is going to be able to do that.”
