Rihanna responds to her cocaine video allegations: rude or fitting?

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

Here’s a photo of Rihanna dancing at Coachella this weekend. She showed up for Drake’s set (just like every other celebrity). Don’t get me started on Rih’s outfit. Let’s just say she fit in with the rest of the crowd, which is completely out of character. Something else (allegedly) happened at Coachella. Yesterday afternoon, a video surfaced that showed Rihanna in an unorthodox situation during her festival downtime. Depending on the substance in the video, things could be bad. This vid shows Rihanna either smoking or snorting a mysterious substance. Some people think she was snorting cocaine, and others think she was indulging in her love for blunts. What do you think?

The video has appeared and disappeared on Instagram a few times. Luckily, Us Weekly captured Rihanna’s initial response to the person who posted the clip:

“N***a your lame ass got some f***ing nerve!!! Any fool could see that’s a joint that I’m basing with cigarette! Who snorts tobacco??!! FOH witcho ‘never been to a rodeo so someone squeezing their nose means they’re doing coke’ lookin a**!”

Rihanna’s position is that she was only smoking weed, but with that type of response, she probably should have kept her mouth shut. The dancers in the video obscured whatever substance she was smoking (or snorting), so it’s not like Rihanna would have faced legal charges. I couldn’t tell what she was doing. She looked like she was ready to smoke, but she rubbed her nose a LOT. Rihanna usually doesn’t care what anyone else thinks, so this response was pretty off-script. I have to wonder whether she was worried about her new Dior contract. I don’t think Dior would mind either way. The fashion house never dumped Kate Moss after her 2005 cocaine scandal. Arguably, John Galliano was the one who kept Kate around, but let’s get real. Dior needs Rihanna more than she needs them.

Here’s Rihanna’s revised response to the coke allegations. She also posted a video with an alternate view, which may support her claim of smoking a joint.
