lumeviews: It is a tad dramatic involving Rihanna in all of these nonsense about smoking but you cannot under-estimate the influence a celebrity of her stature has on the teens of today regardless of their gender status.
Rihanna's appeal is huge all over the globe and deservedly so when you consider the number of hit songs she keeps churning out in a career that is still waxing strong. The downside of this is that her not-so-good qualities are glamorized in the media because it is 'cool'. Granted that she was portrayed as a victim in her relationship with Chris Brown and all the mess that came with it which gives us a reason to excuse her behavior when she turns up on stage drunk and throwing up. We forgive her for all of those Bleep ups. But there is nothing glamorous about smoking marijuana and posting that sh*t on instagram.
