Come thru Muva Cardi????
Rihanna and fam looks good and everyone else is BLAHHHH
I love most of the looks. That’s a fabulous suit Fabolous!
Cardi’s hair is an example of why people need to go back to hiring real stylist and not just wig makers. That big gorgeous gown and that wet mess of a wig just no, throw the whole look away. OAN: I’m so proud of rihanna. To see a woman my age accomplishing so much is empowering. She is killing it right now.
Lil Kim’s body looks so uncomfortable to live in. Sigh
Lala looks worn. Hair horrible. Get some sleep. Her closeups show everything.
I’m not a Rihanna fan but this BISH is so pretty and her dress code is always point.
She always looks stuffed in her clothes
Yea I don’t like her hair with that dress either.
Cardi your wig is terrible, Lala and lil Kim try again.
Come thru Queen B
Whew! Where do I began…?
First, LaLa you just jumped up and came huh?, you look tired, cute dress tho’
Second,Lil Kim,I’m FINALLY getting used to the NewYOU ?
3rd, Cardi, Cardi CARDI B…I’ll let my thoughts on you simmer for a few and come back later to see IF I should adDRESS anything…
Next, EJ ! Liiiiisssten You SIR are really wear and tear on my NERVES right NOW, #irked by YOU Constantly!
Almost done, Young THUG … I’m gonna pass on this, I think it’s BEST.
LASTLY, everyone else ?
There I’m DONE… #justMYobservations #MYopinionsOnThisPOST
Who told cardi b to dress like Cinderella??
Agreed!
They look sad for some reason…hope all is well. Rihanna kills IT every time.
IT-whatever the circumstance she ARRIVES!
La la …. ?
Cardi…love u but that dress is too much for u
Charo…I mean Lil Kim just stop it
Effie white…I mean EJ please find a wig…any wig..and wear it…
I am impressed with Rihanna (i can’t spell her name for shat?). I hope she keeps this look up. She looks so classy here.. minimum cleavage, no whole tidday hanging out. Bravo !
She knows she will not be hot for long. She’s living out her fantasies.
Lol is that a chicken by La La’s name
Rihanna is ALWAYS gorgeous, but her mother is also very nice looking.
I wish Lil Kim would have stopped at surgery number # 0. She didn’t need all that surgery that she has had. Now she just look horrible. She is saying in the picture, “Help I can breathe!”..SMH with that collapsed Michael Jackson nose….SAD
Gotcha!
SHADE TO NTH DEGREE!
La La Anthony showed off her new body at Rihanna’s 3rd Annual Diamond Ball at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on Thursday. La La’s surgeon does great work. She looks so natural!
Newcomer rapper Cardi B needed 4 assistants to help her walk in her Christian Siriano gown. Christian is the go-to designer when other designers won’t return your calls.
LMAO
I will be supporting Rihanna’s new makeup line. She launched with a lot of product and it will keep growing. I like the fact that it appeals to everyone. Hopefully, this line makes her the next Jessica Alba (Honest) or Jessica Simpson. They’re set for generations to come.
Hopefully she will be on a botched episode soon smh….its a shame growing up I thought Kim was the most beautiful woman in the world especially on the Players Anthem video. It hurts my heart that she look like she sucking on lemons all the time…
EJ Johnson makes my ass hurt!!! He needs to be committed!
A chicken head to be more precise.
Glad to see Ri-Ri following her own beat in the music industry and not Beyoncé’s beat. I get tired when one black woman is successful they always bring up Beyoncé as if she is the one to follow as she set the example for everyone else.
I know “They” say you’re suppose to love/support your family in the decision’s they choose but um…my family is set up a lil different, not gone lie EJ would get roasted showing to Thanksgiving dinner looking like that.

Rihanna looked great! What happened to her and NIcki Minaj they are never seen together ever.
I wonder will they give Rihanna makeup line props of selling out in various shades within a week.
smh… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e14edc1f76a028cd84c965c931622548e0de83e4bdaaa189cd646d3a95d4616c.png
Rihanna look great! She looks better some meat on her.
i hate her SO much for that chicken, ROFL!!!!!
Cardi finally got to be the Princess she always wanted to be as a child. And, that’s no shade. Every woman deserves that opportunity. She looks pretty with her loud/obnoxious self.
I like Rih. I don’t know if I would go so far as to say that I’m a fan(atic), but I definitely like her style (overall personality and aesthetic). I think she looks good. That being said, I can’t tell if she finally went through the “woman spread”, if it’s muscle, or a little natural looking plastic surgery, that has her looking a little thicker. Either way, she looks great!.
Rih? Thugga?
Lala must be an emotional eater

Happy Friday BIG GRIN
someone did MAJOR damage to young Kim’s sense of self worth. I am genuinely saddened to see her morphed into an aged cabbage patch doll, smh. She was a natural beauty! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5406a067d89d1924f4f9967857b7ca15a701e44524df7514659efb170810c224.gif
It’s alot of dress, but who knows how long her star will shine, she will not have any regrets.
Yes, looks very uncomfortable…..
Exactly.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
(your fam lives by “we love you, but truth hurts”) ROFL!!!
Cardi….you are NOT demure, that color and style does nothing for you. A pig in couture is still a pig!!!
*aims directly for BIG GRIN* https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3720a5fdb8cd20450e755d44c7554792e9b67440be164ee81da5d0acd98e7794.jpg
I like Rhianna, and I think she’s pretty. But I think I’m getting tired of seeing her. I mean, what else is left to say….?
LMBO
I am in tears
It only sold out on Sephora and some other places, but they are on her site. So proud of her!
ROFL! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8e992eb809e3c78556e1bae76a957ee392f74c42daf190275b13fe9cdd8a8826.gif
Guess you don’t like her.
You can’t let her be great?
A pig though? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/92889c8c87c494548b7b7556dc6993ecdac82203a0c2510635c6ca9901d5e177.gif
Yass mother Ri Ri this is what I like to see!
Lately she’s just been looking blah
Ohhh lol
Did something happen between them?
My favorite A Different World Episode!
The shade Sandy-Mae, the shade!!! Lala’s botox or whatever does look good though…. RiRi and family look so nice!!! The niece is adorable…
favorite of all time! Yaaaaassss!
Kim has turn into a reasonable proto,
typewhite hasn’t she..https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/68bc52b2a4f54f3dc0d4dea29ec0c12c203c19b65d4d18beb2fbbd13d0be6a55.gif
Did yawl discuss EJ or is everybody just over his shenanigans already ??
Lil Kim looks like them rich ole white ladies I see shopping in Saks Fifth Avenue: A facelift plus too much botox all at the same time, crazy looking clothes that you know cost more than your yearly food bill, and a Diana Ross wig-head…
EJ… Poor EJ…. his makeup looks nice….
Cardi looked great! totally different than what she usually wears. Lala’s dress was gorgeous OMG! She has always had a thick backside, but never this big, it’s clear she has had some work done there and I didn’t like her hair…did a Bobby pin fall out or something? Anyway overall everyone looked good to me.
DEAD ON! LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beyoncé was there
She’s actually looked a little aight
Cardi looks lovely. I’m loving this dress on her and I like that she is doing the most with her fifteen minutes…
LOLLOLLOLLOL!!!
Yes better than past surgical misteps..but for me..Loved the original Kim..
Where is her friend Melissa? Hmmmm
I have to give a honorable mention to Cardi..she looks very elegant. Way to transform ma’am…
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/520deb0edf82fd2f10f4236d48983582a2ccdd879e3fec8d0d3203fe946fd0b9.gif
I’ve been wondering for the longest, haven’t seen her in a minute….
Lol. This is her first. Give her at least an A for effort, because at least she tried. I was expecting see through and skin tight. She actually looks nice.
Cardi B has arrived and somewhere out there, Joseline is sniffing lines, mumbling some wack azz reggaeton song she conjured up out of her mind and wishing that Cardi B would get hit by a bus, knocking all of her teeth back crooked.
LOLLOLLOL!!!!
LMFAO
I admit i just scrolled past him the first time.
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!
AS much as Fabolous is a hoe. I find him very sexually appealing.
Yes she did a great job when I was in sephora girls of all shades kept asking about her foundation. So it’s def the hot makeup item.
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This ball has evolved into a major event and the place to be. Go head on, Ri-Ri! I’m a fan, danggit!
Yeah LaLa needs to thank her doctor for the body work But her face? The old one was better she now looks like all the other made to order females. Cardi B all I thought was Gone with the wind. But Wish her hair was different same as LaLa. Cardi has those curls I had back in the day when it was Easter or school picture time. It probably was a dream come true. With all this attention I hope she remains humble. Everyone likes her for keeping it real and connecting with her followers but the designer of the dress isnt the last option he is not arrogant he just loves fashion and he does the job. He has made some nice pieces and wedding gowns. Too many design houses might hv turned her down but if she blows up they will be calling her first. And if the other designers did not return her call I would stick with this designer.
Lol I do!
I almost Licked my computer when I saw Rihanna smh (she’ll make you break some rules).
—-on another note EJ must have a hell of a team to keep him in the media…he’s ugly/uninteresting/talentless….why does he keep getting invited to things
Everyone looks gawjus ?
Best pic I’ve seen of her so far. I hope she keeps this clean look.
uh, Duh!
he keeps getting invited because…
1) his dad is THE Magic Johnson
2) he’s a ridiculous looking Black Man who, on his worst day, is more acceptable (read, less threatening) than the average Brother on any given day.
signed,
Capt. Obvious
Ragweed ??
Rihanna is perfect
Didn’t know she was great! My comparison is based on the things that comes out of her mouth, I don’t know her. She has a certain behavior, it’s not ladylike, as she appears to be trying to convey a demure presence here. It’s very contradictory to her persona. She talks about being a blood , and this and that, so this is my obsevation. That’s all!
Did nicki minaj, kanye or kim go? Or were they invited… jus being nosy ?????
Whats funny is i thought the same!!! She somewhere crying like that was suppose to be me! ???
Her cousin… she’s there
Heyyyy
LOL…you already know! I think she already has thrown shade at her.
Yes, maybe she wanted to be “great” or demure at that event. Maybe she will change. Iono. Either way no biggie
Have beautiful and relaxing weekend
Its a photo in a dress lol how she convey demure presence lol
Mhmm nicki stoppef following her after fenty line came out lol
She done said she was the 1st one to mix english & reggaethon & justin beiber stole the concept ?
LOLOLOLOLOL
The way most of the men were dressed wasn’t right for a “BALL”..RHIANNA brothers looked decent because they had on traditional suits…EJ looked horrible…as USUAL.
La La can get her entire body “fixed” but not her eyes??????
Rihanna has became a self made woman. I remeber when people said she wouldn’t last. She is still here. Never down anyone they will outdo you. Also, it is good to see her and Bey show each other love despite the naysayers.
Rih looks glam in black.Love it.
I wonder if they can inject her nose, where it is caving in, with that stuff the doctors are using now….hyralauronic acid? I’m fascinated by the instagram posts/vids that show non-surgical nose jobs or nose “refining”.
EJ Johnson is irritating
Does that include EJ?!
You damn right she was. Jay Z was probably like Rhi Rhi invited ME to her grandma thing next. Beyoncé was like oh for real what WE wearing?!
You know I have to give Rih her props. Old girl went from singing to actually creating a larger brand for herself. Some people don’t think past the here and now. And clearly she has. Good job.
And I love Cardi B. Her personality is down to earth.
Its good to see people come out , and support Rih Cause, everybody looked Good. Majesty has really grown. Good to see the Carters Supporting Rih.
Love Cardi big gown.
???? I’m from a family full of front stabbers. From great grandma on down. He would eventually stop coming through and just FaceTime and ask to speak to the few family members he likes.
Nobody should ever wear that hairstyle…EVER
Rihanna dad is Missing , I wonder what
did they do with Him. Off Topic I Remember
the time Rih Pops got drunk, and fell into the drums
and Rih had his as thrown out. Mr Fenty said he was doing good until He Tripped into the Band.
OK?? Boo I remember being 16 years old blasting “Music of the Sun” (one of her first CDS) and I LOVED her.. all my friends thought I was crazy… look what God can do.. that woman has come a long way!
If she had stayed her ass off love and hip hop she WOULD be big… even for Cardi that time came for her to let it go! Jose should’ve taken notes!
WE OVER IT ??
Cardi B is giving Cinderella a run for her money. Rihanna slays as usual. EJ and his sis look like 1970 prostitutes that served married white men. Lala has too much gel on those thin edges. I actually like Lil Kim’s look.Young thug looks like Young Thug. That’s all I got.
Rihanna so Gorgeous .The family lookin good.
Two of my favorite singers https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/38fa9f733b166c26ba01170296f0825e71594fe77e713ff0965d01984bff9e96.jpg
She looks beautiful, and a great looking family!
Beyonce was absolutely gorgeous and I am no fan. No one in that room could compete with her. Petty Sandra!
I know cardi feels like cinderellaaa!!! rock on chica
I am not one to fawn over any celebrities, but I really adore Rihanna especially in the past two years. She overcame adversity, has a great spirit and has created a great empire for herself. She reminds me of Aaliyah in some ways as Aaliyah was also someone else I had a lot of respect for.
LMAO 1970 Prostitutes Smh and
LOOOOOL.
EJ Need to sit His He/her as down
some place.
That is something to think about.
It sure has, I wonder how much money they
raised this time. Rih has ben doing really good with Her Charity!!
Jose’s music sucked large mango worm filled donkey balls though…
Thanks, you also!
Aparently you are unaware of the meaning. Her being there is her presence (duh) , she’s trying to project (convey) a look of modesty(demure). That’s how! Word comprehension is essential.
Thats the theme! Its a ball! What else was she suppose to wear?? Stripper clothes? I know the meaning convey & demure lol
I thought she was gorgeous!
Didn’t seem like you did, otherwise you would not have asked how does one convey a demure presence!There was no theme, it’s a charity ball, and my analogy stands. That dress does nothing for her, very contradictory to the real her, and not cute, but she can’t dress anyway. Something that fits her personality would have sufficed (of course nothing stripper).
Lol ok
I think she just wanted to look like a princess, alot of people wore gowns. I think she is just playing with the cards dealt her way…music for adult strippers ?????
I would have escorted Cardi B right out the back door, she was truly trying to outshine Ri Ri with that over the top gown.
I would have loved Cardi dress but too too much of bust is exposed…..still love the color tho, sea foam green always been a favorite.
Why would anyone put all those tattoos on them, especially their face. EJ reminds me of a anaconda.
Probably wasn’t invited. You know Kim K. wouldn’t miss a chance to be in the same room with Beyonce.
LMAO
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~
Cosigns!!
Yes he/she does , and need to
sit their as down someplace.
BAHAHAHA Rich old white women
Bahahahahah.ahahahahahahahahaah.
Yes she do look Good, and I
Love the Dress as well!!
Yuup!
I love how you spell gawjus
I will have to Use that sometime!
Bad Bish!!!
Im sorry i like rihanna and all but she does not have a great spirit especially like the sweet angelic aaliyah. Sweet,kind and angelic are not words used to describe self appointted savage b1tch rihanna who makes fun of her fans who try 2 dress like her and stars she deems less successful such as ciara among other people. Idk what adversity she overcame either. Her career never suffered. In fact getting her face beat in only furthered her celebrity. Im taking nothing away from her success,but she is not a nice person and should remind no one of aaliyah except in regards to both their allegedly hoish ways. Tuh.
Rhianna is dong many good things.
However, her half wig is NOT lining up with her hairline. These celebs Rhi, Beyonce, & Serena need to get their wig lives on point and more natural.
YT has Sofreshdyamond aka dyamond mine, ulovemegz and many other sisters, all of who Rhianna should have invited to her make launch, who can teach them how to get their hair on point.
Can you folks please stop bringing Aaliyah up? She was very mediocre and regular. She has become greater than she was because she died. Ugh!
irritating
nauseating
disgusting
Rirs momma neve comes to play ..
Cardi probably feels like she really made it now.. From poles to elite events!! No college degree required..
EJ! I see you. You getting that body together. ?
Mr. Campbell, I have so much respect for your fashion acumen. I love you, YT.
Future, go home. Take care of your, chirren, and stop contributing to the delinquency of the youth.
Ms. Rihanna…??
if that isn’t the shadiest group of refugees.lol.
immigrants. the U.S. has enough expired visa residents!
Allihave2say.lol
in all seriousness … they don’t want to admit how trash they’re styling is and know that the talented stylists of the US market know how to laugh at celebrity and still get their coin. Thus, the crew u named would rather do what they’re doing :/
please dont curse Aaliyah’s name! The idea that pop-trash could remind u of Aaliyah is almost blasphemous,,,
& getting her face beat in the night of the grammy party she was attending is a TESTAMENT to how little respect Rianna ever will be worth. #GrammyNightFaceSmashUp? #”chilebye!”
Lmao ?
I respect your words and opinion.
I grew up listening to Aaliyah and was a fan long before her death and I remember exactly where I was when I found out she died. I think many people who die early become more famous after death.
I respect what you have to say. Aaliyah was a legend and elegant.
Future & Fabolous looked “GQ” ready…
I’m glad Cardi B doing thangz…now she need 2 whoop her stylist ass for not steaming those wrinkles out that dress
damn I was thinkin that & as I started going down the line U said EXACTLY wtf was in my head…I mean Lord Bless her soul but wasn’t Aaliyah the same person sleeping with R. Kelly @ 15
Well I see one singer & the other is more of a fashionista, let’s just leave it right there
Yes. She was fast tailed and will to lie and lie down to be in the fame. She was pretty with long hair, possibly a weave but her voice was very common. She sis glorified because she died young but she is the same woman who was dating two friends; like Marilyn Monroe dating two brothers. All done for the game of fame.
Her parents are quick to sue and have comments removed. Being so protective in her death I don’t understand how she was able to get away with R Kelly and get married. IJS.
Yea I was in the age but for real she wasn’t all that. She was mediocre with a good marketing machine. Now she is the standard for black beauty and talent. Too much.
And a whole lot of plastic surgery. Check out her first album cover & the last one. I always thought she looked like Mac Tonight (McDonalds commercial) when she first hit the scene.
That’s funny!! Leave Jose alone!! He’s so talented!! ?
