Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé Leaves Rihanna Starstruck

It’s hard to believe that Rihanna attended her first major concert only six years ago, and now she’s performing at the same events with the stars she once looked up to.

The 21-year-old singer shared her first concert experience with iTunes. “My very first arena concert was Beyoncé/Alicia Keys/Missy Elliott [in 2004]. I think it was the ‘Ladies First’ tour,” she said.

Despite her bad seats, she will always remember that special night. “I was in like a nosebleed seat, but I was in tears. I could not believe that Beyoncé was right there, and Alicia Keys and Missy Elliott.”

Rihanna was in awe of the artists she now considers her peers. “I was a little starstruck. No, I was very starstruck, but it was so much fun. It was very inspiring and it motivated me so much.”

that is beautiful, to hear and read, and it goes to show that there are younger and new artist in the game who looks up to these artist and that should do missy, bey, and alicia heart good to know that there are a lot of artist who looks up to them. and they admire their work ethics and they are striving to be good in the industry on their own and not to try and take none of the greats lanes but to jusy make it good in the industry. all babies has to crawl first!!!!!!

riri has always admired the heck out of beyonce and she still does , same with alicia, missy and others like mariah, whitney, madonna etc, and that is great to see others bringing it slowly up the rear!!!!!

I just wanna now why we haven’t seen Beyonce and Rihanna together? Hardly ever? Same events, same parties, no photos. Makes no sense. She’s with Jay enough but not Beyonce? Strange.

@Yas, I agree! Beyonce says they’re cool but you never see them together. It’s always jay and rihanna or bey and rihanna. The same thing has been happening lately with bey and kelly. It seems like bey only hangs around jay that’s about it.

and theres a lot of people like myself who loves all of them,,, but where the problem comes in is when some people start comparing and pitting one aganist the other on and that alwasy causes a problem,,, you never hear none of that with britney, madonna, gaga,, christian,, all of them just do their own thing and keep it moving!!!!!a lot of us need to take notes and take sone chill time off and not low-rate are talk any of the artist down and show all of then love !!!!!!

So are Missy Elliot & Alicia Keys chops liver?? The title of this post is very misleading. She was overcome by all the star power NOT just Beyonce alone.

@Ghetto Fab, she says “I could not believe that Beyonce was right there” before she even mentions alicia or missy. they’re an afterthought. get over it.

@rockwitu, bitch you are delusional, bey is not struggling. She’s up for ten motherfucking Grammys, I am sold millions and it is still selling, won over 16 awards in just 09, so take your head out your ass.

Last time I checked beyonce had a sold-out tour, 6 million records sold of IASF, and 10 grammy nominations…how do you call that struggling? Rihanna ain’t doing that great right now, not as great as that anyway.

@shelly-chelle, actually, i saw photos of the three of them having dinner together last year. I think it was to celebrate her birthday. They seemed to be cool together. I don’t know if I can post links on this site, but just googlerihanna, jay z, and beyonce having dinner.

@Simone, Yes that was her b’day dinner but theres no pictures of them hanging together, like in a picture “together”. You just see them coming out the same places seperately. Thats what they mean by having pics of Bey and Rih chillen together.

That’s good to hear that Rihanna is experiencing a good day. All these rumors about Bey and her fighting. They get along well I assume.
