Who Hates Rihanna?
June 26th, 2007 
Rihanna did a killer performance at Entertainment Weekly’s Annual Must-List Party on Thursday in New York City. The 20-year old singer is even featured in this week’s issue of the magazine. In it, she was asked about what it’s like to go back to her hometown.
She says: “A lot of them hate me, but a lot of them love me.” She explains that what she wears or doesn’t wear often makes it in front of newspapers and featured on news programs. And that while they appreciate her representing Barbados, she didn’t have to put Tridents – the symbol of the Barbados flag – in her videos.
In response to those haters, she says: “Whatever. I’m still doing this ‘cause I love to do it and you’re not going to stop me.”
