I don't know much about who makes Rihanna's products but I accepted she was a capitalist a long time ago. Folks don't talk about it as much cos she's beautiful and seems accessible/regular (she's not lol). And we LOVE our imaginary kinship with famous, pretty people
Bey on the other hand tells ppl she's above them, won't stop calling poor ppl lazy, and does not make herself accessible to regular folks. But both of them are hoarding wealth and we shouldn't excuse one because she talks to us on social media
Also, Bey bragging about her wealth is not received as favorably as Black men who do it. Half these artists call us broke and lazy all the time
