Rap-Up.com || Rihanna Heats Up the Desert at Coachella, Neon Carnival

Rihanna flocked to the desert for Coachella weekend in Indio, Calif. Dressed in a camouflage jacket, faded cutoff shorts, big-brimmed hat, and gun-shaped necklace, the “S&M” singer checked out Arcade Fire’s show on the second day of the festival, later making her way to the second annual Neon Carnival hosted by A|X Armani Exchange and 944 magazine.

“Coachella! Fun times… Arcade Fire, u fuckin blew my mind! Felt like a kid again! U rock!!” she tweeted.

Celebs including Usher, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Paris Hilton rode the Ferris wheel, slide, and bumper cars at the neon-lit extravaganza. DJs Mia Moretti, Rick Rude, and Jessie Marco ignited the dance floor, as guests enjoyed carnival games, cotton candy, and cocktails.

Kanye West will close out the three-day festival tonight. Will RiRi join him onstage for “All of the Lights”?

@Prettiedove,

Right, and Usher recently was quoted saying he would love to do a song collaboration with Rihanna.

They need to do a hot ballad!!! Both of them sing ballads so great!!! I need Usher to return to R&B! I can’t with Trey Songz & Chris Brown and their oversexed R&B! R&B is about romance not sex!!!:-*

Usher is the one who said he wants to collab with RIHANNA–not the other way around for those who are trying to throw shade.

Usher looks like he’s 50 in that pic, btw.

She seems really happy now days, who can blame her, she has moved on from her troubled past. Chris Brown has moved on too and seems happy, because right now he’s in Australia with his gf Karrueche Tran, i just saw a snap of them together at the airport, good for them.

yeah they both seems to have moved on but his nutty fans have not. his fans do not want to let up on bad mouthing rihanna. thank goodness riri is a strong willed woman and does not let those negative vibes stop are slow her down one minute.
