At Least Election Day Gave Us Shady Rihanna Again
She spent part of the day taking aim at trolls and Trump supporters in her Instagram comments.

Election Day may not have given us official confirmation of who our next president is, but it did get Rihanna back up to her old antics. On November 5, the former Twitter menace matched the energy of negative comments she was getting under a joking Instagram video about wanting to vote in the U.S. election that she had posted the day before. The short clip featured the singer (and citizen of Barbados) in sunglasses alongside the text, “POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #votecauseicant.” While she didn’t name any candidates in the post, her support for Kamala Harris was clear thanks to a hashtag declaring that it was “#TanSuitSeason.” The caption appeared to share her stance on reproductive rights and Donald Trump by noting that “protecting pussies and firing pussies can happen all in one vote.”
Trolls and Trump supporters flocked to her comments. Some people seemed to genuinely question whether the singer was attempting to vote illegally, with one even suggesting that she should be arrested. Rihanna began rih-sponding to these types of comments with replies including “Ew! Hate an illiterate ass ho” and “shut up Karen.” Hey, why can’t a national hero of Barbados share her thoughts on another country’s election? We let the queen of Genovia sing to us about staying in line at the polls.
When someone left a lengthy paragraph about wanting to “secure the border” and critiquing celebrities for getting involved in politics, Rihanna shot back, “Where were you in Jan 6 sis? Stick to your discounted crotch. We out here fighting for its rights!” Another commenter declared in part that they were for deportations and felt that abortion was being treated as too important of an issue, prompting Rihanna to reply, “you’re fucked! And so is the America you dream of. Hope you don’t have to find out the hard way.” Hey, now that Rihanna is posting like she’s back in the 2010s, will she consider dropping music like she did back then, too?
