Rihanna: Cocky Queen Bee
By Mariah Kulak
Not many people successfully get away with as many things as this diva does, but, when you’re around someone like Rihanna, it’s hard to say no. Known by Instagram followers as “Bad Gal RiRi”, this star has been adding more and more accomplishments to her name. Besides being at the top of the music charts, she also showed her affinity for acting when she starred in the movie “Battleships.” As if this isn’t enough, she recently released her own clothing line at the 2013 London Fashion Week that collaborates her own style with well-known British “River Island.” Furthermore, she announced her collaboration with Mac Cosmetics, and will soon have a special edition line of Mac makeup called “RiRi Heart Mac.” Damn girl.
Think Rihanna is clueless about her worldwide influence? Think Again. Rihanna knows just how successful she is and expresses it through her music. In her song, “Cockiness (Love It),” she says, “They Mad at Rihanna Game, Takin’ Over Your Empire.” I couldn’t have said it better myself, this bad gal is definitely taking over, and so can you, Medusa readers. If Rihanna can release a No. 1 debut album (Unapologetic), a clothing line, a special edition makeup line and appear in a movie, then the word “impossible” is clearly a word of the past. Rihanna takes her dreams and makes them a reality. She is an inspiration and proof that you can do the same.
Although, she has made some interesting choices (you don’t have the greatest taste in men, Ri), she has also made choices that have given her power in more ways than one. She is always seen with her head held high, and her attitude held even higher. She carries herself with swagger, but also with class. Through her edgy style, her insightful lyrics and her uncensored Instagram pictures, anyone can see that she has no problem being herself. Unlike other celebrities, she doesn’t disguise herself in front of the camera; she has a personality that she isn’t afraid to express. Overall, this is one bitch who says exactly what’s on her mind, and who always stays in control. So, what can we take from Rihanna ladies? Don’t be afraid to be who you are. Be cocky, be sexy, be loud, and be proud. In Rihanna’s words, “Shine bright like a diamond.”
