Rihanna Gets Clowned For Replying To Tweets About Fenty Skin From 2017
Rihanna is so excited about her new skincare line that she traveled all the way back to 2017 to let her fans know that it has finally arrived. On Tuesday (July 14th), Rih announced that she’d be expanding her Fenty empire even more by introducing her new skincare line. “Ima try my best to be humble about this but, @fentyskin is coming July 31st exclusively at FENTYSKIN.COM!!” Rih wrote on a clip of her using her new products to do her skincare routine. “Y’all ain’t hear it from me, but you can shop it early if ya drop me your email.”
Rihanna’s fans have long predicted that the multi-talented mogul would eventually dip her toe into the majorly profitable skincare industry. In fact, the Navy—Rihanna’s fanbase—has been talking about the prospect of a Fenty skincare line since way back in 2017, shortly after she launched her cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty. Rih reminded all of us just how long we’ve been waiting for this latest Fenty endeavour when she proceeded to respond to various tweets—some as old as three years—and everyone’s favourite Bad Gal is getting light-heartedly flamed for it.

While some of the tweets Rih quote-tweeted are as recent as 2019 or later, the jokes are mostly directed at the responses she gave to tweets that date back to 2017. “If rihanna come out with fenty skincare line for men i’m changing my middle name to Robyn,” a male user tweeted on October 22nd, 2017. “Whoever told you skincare has a gender, LIED to you! Hi Robyn!” Rih replied on Tuesday. “Boy I can’t wait to get my hands on some fenty skin care,” another user wrote on September 26th of that same year. “It’s that time you been waiting for boo!” Rih told them, almost three years later. “Rihanna’s skin care line is about to have men on the bandwagon too,” another user tweeted the day prior in 2017, as well. “Wash away my sins Ms. Fenty. I’m ready.” Of course, Rih reassured this man in the year 2020 that he would be included in the target demographic. “The true sin would be leaving my guys out!” she replied. “Not up in here!”
Tons of Twitter users lost it when they noticed just how old these tweets were that Rihanna was responding to. Many even flocked to her mentions claiming that she must’ve had these responses saved in her drafts for years in preparation for the eventual launch of Fenty Skin.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.
The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.
The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.
The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Marsha Bartenetti reinvents in her own style “New York Minute”
Marsha Bartenetti’s latest release, “New York Minute,” written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Jai Winding, offers emotional depth, turning a timeless look at life’s fragility into a reflective, cinematic journey. Stephan Oberhoff’s arrangement perfectly frames Bartenetti’s voice, and Kevin Bate’s expressive cello adds a warm resonance that makes the track feel like a movie.
The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.
“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.
