Celebrities now have made it a norm to throw shades at each other on social media, either directly or indirectly. The game of social media sniping is a subtle one, and Rihanna is a master. The Diamonds singer threw some shade Beyonce’s way with a very quick and very subtle Twitter move. She liked and then quickly un-liked a fan’s message about her track outperforming “Formation,” moving almost fast enough for no one to even notice.
The tweet in question posted in response to one from Rihanna herself read, “The fact that ‘Desperado’ is higher on the Bubbling Under chart than a single performed to a global audience,” referring to Beyonce’s Super Bowl half-time show. And accompanying the tweet? A photo of Jay-Z looking not terribly pleased.
These two divas have never been the best of friends. There was a time when Riri was suspected to be in between Beyonce and Jay-Z’s marriage. Ball’s in your court, Beyonce, the world is waiting for your come back.
