Rap-Up.com || Rihanna Gets Loud with Chelsea Handler

Rihanna shared some keen observations from her trip to Australia during a taping of E!’s “Chelsea Lately” this week. The red-haired superstar, who is currently down under to wrap her “Last Girl on Earth” tour, noticed the lack of black people among the indigenous population while scoping out the audience at her shows.

“I look around at my concerts and there is like one or two,” she told Chelsea Handler. “It is a rare thing that these people can be very black, too.”

The Bajan babe was in awe of the few people of color that she spotted in the crowd. “They are very beautiful, very special,” she told the host, who quipped back, stating she had only seen “three-and-a-half black people” while filming three episodes of her show in Sydney.

RiRi, who will launch her “LOUD” tour in the U.S. this June, will chat with the comedienne on Thursday’s episode of the late-night program.

It’s true, I’ve been in Sydney for over a month now and I haven’t seen that many black people around here! mostly white people & Asians (and once in a while I see an aboriginal, who are black)!

@Oreka 3 and a half black ppl is possible! if one of them is half black half white

The majority of Aboriginals in Australia live in other states, not Sydney New Sout Wales. They also live on reserves similar to the Native Americans so go to where they are you would see very few Aboriginals.

If Rhiana held a concert in the Northern Territory or inland Western Australia she would have seen a lot more.

She forgets to mention all the other races we have here like Arab, Asian, Indian etc. Sydney is incredibly multi-cultural.

It’s not all about black. There are other races besides black n white.

different people and cultures.

@ The Prophet Blog
Why should she have mentioned those other races when it was an obvious non-racist observation on the scarcity of people of her own colour in Australia? I’m sure it wasn’t anything racist on her part, but having come from a Caribbean country, where the population is 85% black, it’s weird going to a new country and not seeing people who look like yourself. And I can speak- I was born and raised in Jamaica.
You people need to stop expecting Rihanna to do everything and allow her to be her damn self.
