Because Rihanna knows that she was a superstar with or without controversy. She’s beautiful with or without controversy. She’s loved with or without controversy. I’m sorry — sympathy.”

Nicki and Megan have been feuding for the past week firing shots on their tracks “Big Foot” and “HISS” respectively.
