RIHANNA: Slammed for Calling Rachel Dolezal a Hero

Rihanna is getting slammed on social media after calling Rachel Dolezal “a bit of a hero."

In a new interview with Vanity Fair, RiRi says she doesn’t think what the former NAACP official did was so bad, asking, “Is it such a horrible thing that she pretended to be black?” But her followers, including some members of the #RihannaNavy, disagreed with her unusual point of view.

Here’s what people are saying:

LOLOL, the day has finally arrived! Y’all finally realize y’all hero Rihanna is an idiot. Rachel Dolezal is NOBODY'S hero.

Y’all gonna try to get Rihanna out the paint? I wanna see the first person who gets flashed on for it. It'll be fun.

Rihanna described Rachel Dolezal as a "bit of a hero." That hurt a bit.

Rihanna called Rachel Dolezal a hero. Bye @Rihanna...you cancelled.

Please tell me that was a typo or some kind of misprint. I know my fave can’t be that ignorant.

Rihanna called Rachel Dolezal a hero. I'm assuming she meant the sandwich?

I’ma give RiRi the benefit of the doubt and assume she was probably high on weed when she said those regrettable things.

Talk About It:

Rihanna needs to clarify these comments so fans know exactly where she stands.

Sometimes it's better when our favorite stars stay quiet. The more they talk, the more they're at risk for saying embarrassing stuff like this.
