Viewers Prefer Rihanna Over Beyonce, Plus... Diddy Doesn't Care About White People

Written by SOHH Soul Man

So it was brought to my attention that Entertainment Weekly did a poll to find out who most viewers were looking forward to seeing perform at this year's Grammy celebration.

After bulldozing her way into overexposure, Beyonce came in under Rihanna as most anticipated Grammy performance.... WTF?

To that I say... "Don't you ever for a second get to thinking, you're IRREPLACEABLE!"

Meanwhile, former music man, Diddy, is making noise on the catwalk this year for Fashion Week.


It's turns out that

DIDDY IS ONLY USING BLACK MODELS IN HIS UPCOMING FASHION SHOW!

Is that racists or is he just observing black history month? I mean the shows are in February.

You should be payin Beyonce for how much you mention her name. I think you're an undercover stan. Suck her dick, Soulman. Suck it reeeal nice....

Man, Diddy probably said F that! Those other designers rarely use black models, if any! so he 'gon rock how he wanna rock.


I see ya Puff...

Sit your ass down somewhere.

Racist? Why would that idea even cross your mind? Sounds like something these young-ass, naive, resentful white kids say about B.E.T. (if we had a show called White Entertainment Television, it'd be racist, waah waaah waaah).

He's not saying white people can't BUY the stuff, or appreciate it. He's just giving some shine to black models who would never....

EVER....

get an opportunity like this simply because the color of their skin doesn't match the accepted idea of beauty. And i know what cats are going to say, "there are black models all the time, what are you talking about?"

There are like half a dozen black super models out there. And for every one of them, there are 30 more that never see the light of day.

Go head and do your thing Puff.

So I guess Entertainment Weekly is hating too???...lol
People are tired of Beyonce.

And, no its not racist for Puffy to use all black models. The fashion industry has been taking cues from the urban market for years but they still refuse to include and/or acknowledge us. I'm glad that Puffy has the guts, arrogance, and confidence to go against the grain and do him!!

That's nice, Diddy. But where are the Black models of all shades representing the line? The two faces of his women's line are mixed. He needs to add some diversity there. Rep Black folks every day, not just during Black history month.

AND WHATS WRONG WITH DIDDY ONLY USING BLACK MODELS? WHITE DESIGNERS DO IT ALL THE TIME WITH THE WHITE MODELS. I SAY GO DIDDY, AT LEAST HE'S DOING ONE THING RIGHT. BLACK DESIGNERS NEED TO TAKE NOTES. ITS MORE BLACK MODELS OUT THERE THAN NAOMI CAMBELL. AND EVERYBODY IS TIRED OF BEYONCE' WHO HAVENT SEEN HER PERFORM A GAZILLION TIMES BEFORE?

Soulman's ass is always tryna start sum controversy...and I fuccin' luv him for it

I wasn't saying it was racist. I was asking... for the sake of conversation. Y'all are like wild dogs ready to attack. LOLOL!

do they have casting calls saying only whites allowed? no, u blacks would get mad and it would be "racist"

i got money that the day after the grammy's beyonce is gonna be the most talked about performance. she seems to always be the center of attention after every award show. thats a fact. but of course why would you post something positive about the girl, she only works harder than anyother female artist in the biz and still people hate on her because of that. do you realize that you bloggers are the ones that talk about her more than anyone else? if your so tired of her then why do you constantly talk about her? Obviously she is not irreplaceble because you cant seem to stop talkin about her.

You know I'm right. Hop off, man....

You know I'm right. Hop off, man....


^^^^^


LOL!

Ok...so that picture of Bey w/ ?uestlove.

It makes me wonder what a Beyonce album with ?uest as a producer would sound like. He's definitely my favorite producer.

diddy is the man if you want to make a lot of money view my website

Puff is only hiring "all african americans" for his fashion show.....Awesome!!!!!!

My I ask who took this poll???
I damn sure don't wanna see a performance from the Foo Fighters or boring ass Carrie Underwood, and pleaee Rihanna is not a dancer or singer. Who gives a cat's ass about their poll

Have yall heard the new janet songs 'Rock With U' and 'Luv'...im feeling em way more than feedback

When unsourced statistics fall into uneducated bloggers hands. . . smh

I for one am much more excited about seeing Beyonce. After all, she's doing a duet with Tina Turner! I hear Rihanna's performing with Morris Day and the Time, who I also love. I'm not too crazy about Rihanna though, she just doesn't have much singing talent in my opinion and although I like her songs, her voice makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes. I'm sure it'll be a good performance, but Beyonce and Tina Turner is where the real talent's at! Rihanna may be gaining popularity now, but I'm sure 30 years from now the new young artists are going to be dying to do duets with Beyonce, not Rihanna.

Folks is tired of Beyonce ... she needs to go AWAY and let folks miss her. Even the stans want a break.

Its Beyonce's attitude that people don't like. she claims she's soo down 2 earth. No she is stuck-up, spoiled, insecure chick. I mean damn u don't get along with Jennifer Hudson? U can't be friends with Rhianna? Anyone that she feels is a threat she gives the cold shoulder 2. And for the record, the hottest chick in the game is ALICIA KEYS!!!!

To the person who said Beyonce is stuck-up and insecure do you personally know her.If not please don't make stupid comments like that.That's one of the problems now with this internet.People can post any lie or rumor and suddenly it's the truth.How do you know Alicia or Rhianna aren't that way.You don't because none of us know these people personally.As far as that poll goes I can gurantee they was 90% white people because Rhianna is way more overexposed than Beyonce.3 albums in 2 years enough said.I would rather see Beyonce perform anyday over Rhianna.

People are getting way to serious about this poll. So what Beyonce is at the bottom big freaking deal.Yes some folks are tired of seeing her nevertheless I am sure her fans will be glued to the TV regardless. BTW Rihanna is no where near as overexposed as Beyonce. This girl has several endorsements, re-releases in both english and spanish, a clothing line, a cell phone etc, all Rihanna has is a damn bag and an umbrella.

On another note,I am glad Puff is featuring all black models in his shows.

I am more interested in seeing Mary and Aretha perform.

im excited about eeing carrie, rihanna, mary j, and if alicia keys and whitney do decide to perform im excited about them too

This why I love running a Bey-free site, lol.

BEYONCE'S NEW HAIR COLOR LOOKS BUSTED SHE NEVER DRESSES RIGHT EITHER IT'S ALWAYS LOUD AND GAWDY!!!!!!

I agree with you and anybody who says that if a white fashion designer said that "only white models are allowed" it would be label as racist don't realize that they don't have to say it because they do it all the time in their runway shows.

Diddy is too late! Tom ford already did that Black Models (including babies) for Gucci some years ago, even Gianfranco Ferrer used Skin from Skunk Anansie. As for Beyonce and Rihanna, they are given too much media space, allow some new blood (and even old) some space

Rihanna's the best! that's all i have to say...

Beyonce is one of the best performers ever, So I cant wait to see her, and rihanna cant sing, so I dont see how Rihanna waz up over Beyonce, but again that was People magazine and black folks really dont read PEOPLE magazine, so that survey is Null and Void in my opinion!!!

@Denise
Please stop making excuses for Beyonce. Like I said any chick that feels is a threat, she pulls that "spoiled diva" bs. I mean besides not getting along with Rhianna and Ms. J-Hud, she could even get along with Alicia Keys when they were on tour years ago. The point being she feels like she can be the only one in the spotlight. She's witch. her mama and daddy been teahcing her to be a spoiled, diva of a cash-cow all her life. And the older she gets, the more it comes out. Sometimes I wonder how Jigga can stay with her. Oh I know!? She probably gives really great BJ's!LMAO!!!.....but it cools people are starting to see that their more to the music game then Beyonce. Besides ALICIA KEYS IS THE HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME!!!

Beyonce is last on the list O happy day lol...

poll schmoll. people would trample rihanna and alicia to get to a beyonce show.

and to the person with all this about not getting along with rihanna and j-hud. where's the proof? rihanna has clearly stated there were no issues as did j-hud say that was completely false. fix your agenda.

210, yes they do have casting calls that say "no blacks" cause I had to do one and I'm black! I'm not working for that fashion company any more...

Sounds like something these young-ass, naive, resentful white kids say about B.E.T. (if we had a show called White Entertainment Television, it'd be racist, waah waaah waaah).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Whether anyone would want to admit it or not, that is real talk

being a minority does not automatically give someone or a group of people entitlement. Think about it

Just Sayin, go see the move "the Great Debaters" and you'll get just a bit of a clue....

I think Diddy is somewhat of a racist. But, who cares he's wack anyways, lol.

yes diddy, i love that! black models all the way.

BASICALLY, beyonce (the Vet) has been in the game hella longer than Rhianna so of course she has a lil rank over her BUT Rhianna definitely does her thang and obviously she does it well because she is successful. I would love to see Rhianna because I don't think she shown us her all YET! I don't think we have to put down one to raise another. They both are talented and beautiful. I do think rhianna has more of a connection beyond the stage with her fans so thats why B can somewhat come off stuck up with a attitude or tends to have a chip on her shoulder because she stays distant unless she is performing. Rhianna is a up and coming Artist with a promising future in the biz ( because we all was "ella ella ella") and Beyonce will have to continue to keep up. All in all I wish them both well.
