I’m proud of Rihanna for going to the bet awards ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽

[@annayeboah2008]

I was just about to say that. No matter how big she gets, she is still humble enough to go to an award show created by and for African American. I understand why some people didn't come though

[@13579hee]

@@annayeboah2008 no..... BET spent YEARS ignoring her presence in popular music. She has always been disrespected by their music award show. I imagine the only reason she came is because they asked her to present an award to Mary

The Queen...Miss Mary J. Blige! Oooh, I just love her so much. This is sweet and well deserved. I remember when she first came out. I was obsessed. Most folks were satisfied w/ a cassette or cd. I had to have every single format that wasn't nailed down. I'm talkin' cassettes, cd's, singles, promos, etcetera. I used to carry her _Real Love_ cassette w/ me everywhere. I still have it in my drawer for sentimental reasons. Folks ask what my favorite Mary record is and I always say _Her first, second and third albums._ I'll be here typing all night so I'll keep it short and sweet. This is sweet, Rihanna. Thank you... Currently listening to _Keep Your Head_ and _You Gotta Believe._ Oh and one last thing, Rihanna, bae please don't be in any hurry to release new music. In fact, just don't do it.
