The music industry is in shock as Rihanna allegedly reveals troubling details about Beyoncé, supporting previous claims made by Erykah Badu. Once believed to be one of the most influential and admired artists in the industry, Beyoncé is now facing accusations that paint her as the ultimate villain behind the scenes.

But what exactly did Rihanna say, and why is Erykah Badu’s past criticism of Beyoncé suddenly gaining traction again?
Erykah Badu’s Original Claims Against Beyoncé
Erykah Badu, known for her spiritual and outspoken personality, has never shied away from calling out industry figures. In the past, she allegedly criticized Beyoncé’s artistic persona, suggesting that:
- Beyoncé is a manufactured icon, whose success is built on the work and ideas of other artists.
- She allegedly copies styles and aesthetics from underground artists and other Black female musicians without giving them proper credit.
- She is deeply embedded in industry power plays, controlling narratives and influencing trends to maintain dominance over her peers.
At the time, many brushed off Badu’s words as jealousy or exaggeration, but now Rihanna has stepped forward with shocking claims of her own.
Rihanna Speaks Out—What Did She Say?
Sources close to Rihanna claim that she has been privately vocal about Beyoncé’s influence behind the scenes, allegedly confirming what Erykah Badu had hinted at.
According to insiders, Rihanna allegedly revealed that:
- Beyoncé has sabotaged other female artists, ensuring that no one outshines her.
- She uses industry connections to control award show wins, exclusive brand deals, and key performances.
- She allegedly blocked collaborations that could threaten her position as the top female artist in music.
One particularly shocking claim suggests that Beyoncé has allegedly worked against Rihanna’s career growth, ensuring that certain powerful figures in the industry don’t support her the way they do Beyoncé.
Could this explain why Rihanna took a step back from music for so long while focusing on Fenty Beauty and other business ventures?
Industry Reactions—Is There a Pattern?
While these claims are shocking, Beyoncé has been accused before of strategically controlling the music industry.
- Artists like Keri Hilson and Tinashe have hinted that their careers suffered due to Beyoncé’s dominance.
- Kanye West’s infamous VMA rant against Beyoncé hinted at powerful industry manipulation, where awards and opportunities allegedly get rigged in her favor.
- Even Nicki Minaj once shaded Beyoncé, implying that certain people in the industry hold too much influence behind closed doors.
If Rihanna is now confirming what Erykah Badu and others have suggested for years, this could be **the biggest shake-up in the music
