Rihanna Has Haters in Her Hometown

Rihanna kills it at the Entertainment Weekly‘s Annual Must-List Party at Gotham Hall on Thursday in New York City. Spectacular Aurelio Costarella minidress and fantastic fuchsia pumps!

The 20-year-old R&B singer is even featured in this week’s issue of EW. Here’s a snippet:

What’s it like when you go back to visit Barbados these days? Do you still have a lot of friends there? Are people mostly happy for you or do you get hated on a lot? A lot of them hate me, but a lot of them love me. I don’t really let the ones that hate me stop me from doing what I wanna do. They always have something to say about what I’m wearing, what I’m not wearing, like in the “Umbrella” video. If I wear a swimsuit to the beach, it’s a problem, they put it on the front of the newspaper and call into programs. It really annoys me when people that I try to represent and I try to put them on the map as much as I can – you know, I didn’t have to put Tridents in my videos.

Put what in your videos? Trident, which is the symbol of the flag. I didn’t have to talk about them. I didn’t have to even mention that I’m from Barbados. But I do and people kind of take it for granted. They hate me. They talk s�” about me all the time. But I’m like, “Whatever. I’m still doing this cause I love to do it and you’re not going to stop me.”
