Rihanna Shades Beyonce On Twitter, War Ensues Between The Hive And The Navy

Throwing shade at Beyonce is the worst career move you can make. (Just ask formerly popular R&B divas Keri Hilson and Keyshia Cole). However, that didn’t stop Rihanna liking a tweet that mocks the chart performance of Queen Bey’s “Formation” this morning (March 1). “The fact that [ANTI album track] ‘Desperado’ is HIGHER on the Bubbling under chart than a single performed to a global audience,” read the messy missive.

If RiRi thought she could throw a little and then just carry on like nothing happened, she was mistaken. Before you could bring up ANTI‘s 460 copy first-week sales tally, The Hive had congregated in her mentions. Which resulted in a heated, hilarious and currently still ongoing Twitter war with The Navy. For a taste of the ensuing social media bloodbath, check out a selection of tweets below.

Rihanna’s shady like:

The Hive goes to war:

After canceling tour dates, reducing tickets to $10 and selling less than 250k albums WW the LEAST Rihanna can get is a #1 single.

only know how to be "number one" unless it's above a dollar and twenty nine cents, then you only know how to postpone, downgrade, or cancel

Rihanna started feeling cocky during the 4 era. Then self titled happened and she was reminded of her place pic.twitter.com/EGwGy3aU50
