No, people should be ashamed, the media gives exactly what the public they cater for wants. Don't blame the abstract "media" for your (general) lack of interest.

[@splorgify]

Hugo Vaz On the contrary, we can’t be expected to know of every great singer. To be honest Rihanna should have promoted a woman with such talent and grace. P.s. the media only show the public what benefits their own agenda or fits their regional mangers narrative.

Was she born again in the Holy Spirit through Jesus; transformed, a new creation in Christ? That is what is required, SAYS, THE LORD. All others will perish. Tragic stubbornness & ignorant for MOST. Blessings to KNOW & FOLLOW Jesus BEFORE it's too late. 🙋 💔👣👣💝💖

[@hilarowknls]

@@shellbellbutterfly May your words bring you comfort in YOUR day of sorrow.

[@shellbellbutterfly]

@@hilarowknls Thank you. I KNOW Jesus well & the Holy Spirit inside of me brings supernatural comfort & peace & removed sadness that tormented me for 30 years (it's astounding! He's Awesome!). May YOU receive it (instead of making snide remarks toward me). I was being serious & asking an honest question. I'd never heard of the gal before her death. GOD allowed her to die, you know? The wages of sin IS & ALWAYS WILL BE, death BECAUSE lost (ungodly; not born again) people EARN those wages BY living against GOD & NOT KNOWING & FOLLOWING His Ways. That question & reminder of TRUTH is not meant to be "comforting" (or lacking it), but rather is an awakening/sobering question, so that if she wasn't saved, then we are reminded how (along with the other 149,999 people who die every 24 hours) that our time is short & that Jesus (who is GOD & Savior) IS THE ONLY WAY to make it out of sin & death & to escape of perishing in the Lake of Fire. I'm not interested in sugarcoating things so that people don't understand TRUTH. This is NOT MY opinion. This Is what GOD says & MOST people aren't paying attention to what GOD says and THAT'S the problem. I'm here to remind & remarks like yours don't always make it the most pleasant duty, but that's what I'm commanded to do & if it convicts one person to be saved, then I'm grateful & honored to endure your sarcastic attack. At least YOU'RE thinking about it now. HalleluYAH! Blessings in Jesus. 🙋💔👣👣💝💖

[@42022coop]

i love the sound of her music, its sad the last message she sent out to her fans and family was suicide on christmas eve which is going to be forever with her family EVERY christmas!!! i feel more for her family and friends who were close to her because she let them down. i understand suicide is a tough topic for many but people need to teach their troubled teens how to reach out to others if the people who are there for them aren’t helping. many indigenous people like myself have suffered early childhood trauma and there is happiness in life, acceptance and forgiveness is what helps maybe faith for others. People please teach your children that they have to be the bandaid in their own heads to have a happier life. there is hope if you reach out and ask for it. its the strongest thing you can do for yourself.
