Rihanna and other celebrities selling something that makes us feel good but with a 30% markup to support their lavish lifestyles.

The fire engine red, the one side shaved, etc etc because the list is long.... Rih has been the hair girl. With that being said my hair is thriving with what I'm already doing. But thanks girl
Oh and that Nicki clip is probably old. It's June and everyone in the video is dressed for fall/winter weather. Ok bye
I generally HATE your videos and ideas on things, but YOU KNOW ITS REAL, when I FINALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON SOMETHING!
To broke to support this 😂
I'm 30. My products are my products atp. No one can wash this face like a five dollar Bronner brothers peppermint bar. Nobody can moisturize this skin like Cerave body cream. Nobody can grease this scalp like the rosemary oil I already use. Stop trying to sell me shit! If it's not about food… I'm not trying anything new. And that's just what it is.
Ok!!! That part as well!!
I like how you think...
PERIOD!
THIS 💯 The move you save not spending on fads
PERIOD. I’m done. 😂🤷♀️
Leave us alone, hyper-capitalists!!! Just tryna pay my bills and see the beach every now and then.
Same💯😊
Yesssssss...‼️😩😭
😂😂😂
That part.
Heavy on see the beach now and then! Its needed!!!!
They don’t even use their own shit. Why are people so gullible?
😂😂
Right cuz what she been using the last 10 years before this was released? And she bald lol
No Fr Rihanna barely wears her natural hair yet wants people to buy her products not only that in her promo shoots she’s mostly in wigs
😂
@@easiersaidwithmegher hair length literally has nothing to do with it 🤦🏽♀️😭there people that prefer shorter hair
Im tired of celebs trying to sale us a dream when most of us are literally living a nightmare 😪
Right!!!! ...World on fire‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Rihanna looks happy which is good for her if true. But yeah, they are all selling us an image.
Don't buy?
People who can afford it and want to will continue to support the big ticket items. To each their own!
Just don't buy it, problem solved.
Nothing is even affordable at this point.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Even oil changes went up.
One good thing about Fenty is they do plenty sales.
Word!
It’s not sustainable. I’m in the U.K. and prices are up, salaries aren’t…we don’t got it 🤷🏾♀️
So I’m interested to see what will happen next because like I said, it’s not sustainable.
They low key broke.... And in debt.
Gotta be. Because I'd be retired 😂. I think most of us would
@@geminiteevee1777They're greedy
@@noneya1238VERY GREEDY Taylor out here selling 80 versions of the same boring album. These celebs are so out of touch.
I was just coming here to say that.
Clock it
It doesn't really bother me that celebrities are selling their products because I'm not buying it. I'm not a person that's easily influenced. I typically only buy things that I need and my extra goes to vacations because that's more important than material things.
I do have a problem with corporations exploiting workers, medical care, gas, groceries, and rent prices. Because it seems like they just want it to be as hard as possible for people to afford basic living necessities while they act like they're "hurting" too. Whole time they're still in a financial surplus.
Exactly 💯💯💯
I'd buy from her before I bought from Jennifer Aniston or a white celeb.
Preach sista
These celebrities aren’t selling anything useful. If they’re not opening grocery stores with reasonably priced, quality foods or good schools then they need to go sit down.
Exactly 💯
That part...Open some community gardens and charge us a pack of seeds in exchange for some food or some ish..Damn do something to help.
PREACH!!!
How about some affordable apartments
Crazy, cause this is exactly what Dr. Umar be talking about. Black owned banks, schools, grocery stores, etc are what these black celebrities need to build.
Are THEY greedy, or do WE lack impulse control and boundaries? You see what McDonalds has been forced to do- lower prices because sales are low. Force their hands by not patronizing them and their businesses. The cancel button is real.
Exactly
I'm glad u said this. I think both can be true. They're greedy and getting positive reinforcement because we lack self control and discipline when it comes to buying things we don't need. ❤
Both
Both
This is how I feel. No one has to buy anything! Don’t buy any of this stuff! It’s not the celebrity’s fault if you are not paying your rent because you bought her basic hair care line.
YOU GOTTA TELL THESE CELEBRITIES NO..‼️😩
😂😂 fr
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Lol yessss they beg so much like shamar
The vloggers too!
😂😂😂😂
My hair been growing nicely without their products.
No hate, fenty water must be next.
😂 yes fenty water, toothpaste, lotions and body washes, dish detergent, vacuums, nail polish, car shine…it never ends! Fenty for children 😂
@@ShaneCM YES😂🤣😂 Especially Fenty for children!
😂🤣😂
Cantu leave in and Camille Rose honey leave in combined keeps my high porosity hair moisturized and juicy for weeks 😂 they can keep their products
@@cosmicbeauty5682Fenty air in 2030😂🤣
These so-called billionaires almost never give back to the Black community.
She is a foreigner she’s not ours, she does for her home country
She does give back to Barbados from what I’ve heard
@@prim.an.propher1505 your statement is xenophobic
@@MiracleMorris no it’s accurate. Black Americans cannot expect someone not of their collective to do for them. Rhianna is Bajan and she does for her homeland, as she should. Stop using words you do not understand. Xenophobia is fear or dislike of someone or something foreign. I do not fear or dislike Rhianna or what she is doing, I applaud her pride and her actions for her people. Once again Black Americans are loud and wrong, thank you for your service.
@@MiracleMorrisRight? The xenophobia is real. People like that are part of the problem
The $1 bill is the new $20 bill, just to go outside now-a-days....I'm definitely not buying anything outside of the essentials. These celebs are out of touch with reality in today's economy...
Right! The time to do this was the 2000s. Ain't nobody cares about celebrity side hustles these days
Exactly
Here I am with three girls out of school looking for free or very cheap things to do during the day besides stay by the house all day. It’s ridiculous.
@@kitsontuli2713 😂😂 celebrity side hustle is funny AF. Lol
Right!
I think Rihanna has absolutely been known for her hair. Her natural hair? No. But that Black Bob? The fire engine red hair? The pixie cut? Mullet? She’s experimented with color/style for years.
Now I would’ve like to see her drop some hair color, because that aligns more with what we see when it comes to her hair.
Agreed, 100%
Exactly 💯
True... even when Fenty beauty came out i was like she shouldve went the hair route cause thats what we know her for. Same goes for Beyoncé she shouldve went the lacefront route give the gworls invisible lace
Hair color line would make more sense.
Stop. She is not know for hair. Just like Beyonce wasn't know for hair, until she showed her hair is actually healthy. Riri's hair doesn't look healthy so I don't want any parts of that product unless she is doing a before my products phase and and after my products phase. I usually buy and try all black brands but I'll keep my coins until the reviews come out.
I’m sick of all celebrities! They are wanting us to buy their products to keep them rich while we struggle everyday!
I agree with you there should be more 👍🏾 on this comment👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Lol,Invest, step up your bag, Go back to school, Start a business
@@dalvinalcide455 you got it all figured out huh, the real world must have not hit you yet 😂
@@vanlifebaeno, the real world has hit YOU. Just because you can’t don’t it, that doesn’t mean that everyone else can’t. Stop with the excuses
I think he's honestly mad because he can't keep up with his look
I don’t need new hair care products. I need groceries.
Thank you!💯
Yes she whipped that wig off and said here y'all go 😭😭
Literally
lol
There are black hair influencers who’ve done the work and created hair care lines, I’d rather support them. I still love Rihanna but I’m not paying almost $30 on shampoos and conditioners. We are barely getting by keeping up with our mortgages or rent.
You are so right; why would anyone buy this at the price of $30 when everybody claim to be struggling; food is at an all time high and mortgages. There are far better quality products for less than $15 for natural hair. She added $15 due to her celebrity status and I definitely ain’t biting
I spent $12 on Camille shampoo, from Walmart. It's a black beauty brand from Atlanta.
@@nwatson2773 I love her products!! Best I’ve used and it’s consistent.
The gag is, we aren’t required to buy any of these products. No one is forcing us to buy anything
🎯🎯🎯🎯
I can't believe he called it inhumane...like what
🎯
This part.
@@loveusyendi.7621I caught that too lol. I was doing some homework not looking at the screen and had to look up and do a double take when he said that 😂
It’s simple don’t buy the crap. It’ll go on clearance soon enough.
They had Jada Smith lotion and body wash at the Dollar Tree lol. This was awhile back.
@@Meepmeshaquandaijathat’s literally stupid. I just got my baby some very expensive clothing for 34.00. Those same outfits at full price would’ve run me 150.00 for the same outfits! Buy on sale, ain’t nobody rich
Exactly....I dont understand this whole capitalist argument as if these celebs are putting a pew pew to our heads and forcing us to purchase...just dont buy it lol
If her products actually work well I dont see a difference between paying Rih or paying Nexxus or Chi or any of those high end brands
@@Meepmeshaquandaijausually what it costs on sale is what the product is worth, understand they’re trying to make as much profit as they can when they sell full price.
Everything is so expensive. I'm struggling to stay a float. I'm not buying any of that stuff. I'm not making the rich, richer
Smart woman
That part!!!
Right! I work full-time and trying to get back in school to get a degree but have to pick between rent/ living expenses and everything else. It's too much 😢
Yes I was just saying this earlier I feel like Im losing the race
As you should. Why are people buying things they can't afford anyway?
All they do is attach their names to a product and expect their fan base to buy just because . I’m so happy to see the masses are waking up to the nonsense.
the greed the greed the greed
Right👍🏾
I’m ready for us to stop conflating “natural hair” with “curly hair”. I’m so over it.
So your hair is not natural unless it coily. A black person with curly hair is not natural. Got it.
@@jadexo_6491😂😂 right like wtf?
Amen!!!!
This!
Does Rihanna have a texturizer? Just bc someone's hair is not 4c doesn't mean it isn't natural...it's just not your natural....? I'm confused.🫤
damn they rich people broke and.. . we just BROKE 😭😭
😭😭😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂
Some of us have saved a coin but we don't need new hair products at the moment😂
“It’s fried and she’s selling that to us.” 😭😭😭
Not only are we broke, it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We have to squint.
🗣️THAT PART!!!
I laughed way too loud at that part in this DMV 😭😭😭🤣

Tank you for sharing I needed this.😊
I wanted to support her undergarment line, but when I got to the end and saw ALL of the fees and forced monthly memberships associated once your checked out, I kindly deleted the page!! I can’t help but to wonder how many people are stuck in that looped contract because they didn’t take the time to read. Shady!!!
Girl I had no idea
Same. Then the influencers get cute stuff n the page looks dry of all the cute stuff they advertised.
Same here. I added a bunch of stuff to my cart and when I got to the end, I was like "oh he'll lol naw". I will gladly go to Marshall's, tjmaxx, target, etc.
Give it time. Thats where they all end up anyway@skindippedingold
That's cause it's a not a lingerie line it's a laundering machine to wash cash.
3:58 Cécred and House of Déreon was/are Miss Tina’s passion projects… Bey’s just the wallet. Beyoncé is too private to even promote her own products on the level that she should.
In the early 2000s house of Dereon had the cutest pants I had some but lately all I see is their eyeglass line when I was an optician
Facts!
It’s not that she is too private they market to white and Beyoncé is a zombie. Jayz has broken her down she doesn’t even know if she is going or coming. People who are going to buy that stuff is Black but they wouldn’t cater to bigger sizes and the commercials for the hair line showing Asian and White folks. It’s silly to market to the majority when your main clients are black but black folks will buy from her even when they are ignored or disrespected.
I always felt like house of dereon and cecred was Tina line. From her interviews she loves fashion. And she used to be a hair dresser and owned a popular hair salon before she gave it to her best friend. I feel ivy park is her line. But house of dereon was Tina baby. The way she would talk about them close you can tell she passionate about. Bey just helped fund it so ppl would go out and buy it

I went grocery shopping today smh. Spent $49 on some fruits n berries lol. I need a EBT card crap
Start trading cash for EBT
I saw a Paris Hilton Walmart ad. I was like who is falling for this. Then i saw an influencer showing off her air fryer.
And it’s all ugly or generic. They just slapped her face on it
@@untalented7880 yep like she would ever step foot in a Walmart without being paid to do so. They said Walmart is trying to bring wealthier customers to their stores. I guess they are trying to get rid of the poors lol.
They get that stuff for free
@@victorybeginsinthegarden😂😂😂😂😂😂😢
I haven’t seen the ad, but her going from “What is Walmart?” back in the day to selling stuff in Walmart is rich. It seems we can’t escape these celebrities in any way.
People saying Rihanna is known for her hair are confusing hair care with hairstyles. Anyone can have a trendy haircut with or without wig/weave/extensions. This says nothing about the health of the actual hair though!
Right? I think it would have made more sense if she had a wig line like Vivica A Fox as opposed to hair care.
@@sage-luxe1198 yup! Wigs or accessories, something in the FASHION lane makes a ton more sense for her brand.
True,HAIRSTYLES
@@sage-luxe1198I could totally see fenty hair being a wig brand. That’s what she should do. Or just stick to fenty fashion. She hasn’t done any clothing drops recently.
Billionaire status is the only thing I could think about when I saw this Fenty Hair line.
Im over it.
WE ARE BROKE 🗣️
Yesssssss 😩😭
I'm far from broke thankfully, but it's still a no from me 😂
Vote wisely
I roll my eyes every time a new product comes out. I can barely afford my damn Spotify. Leave us tf alone!
I will forever give Shea Moisture the side eye. Their products worked so well for my hair prior to them switching their formula.
Yep the sold out and had to cut cost and the quality went.
Yes! I thought it was just me. The products were great when they launched now they’re crap.
💯💯💯💯💯 and totally focused on hair and let their body products go to crap smh they used to be my fav
Yep sadly I had to let them go just like mane choice hurt my lil feelings but Mielle has been doing wonders for my hair
Yep just like carols daughter, it was sold. We can’t have anything
Thank you for speaking on this! The world is broken and these celebrities are struggling! Im not stunting these celebrities. They need to stop being oblivious to what’s going on!
I thought I was the only one that thought her hair looked damaged or just ok. Everyone was going crazy and I’m like 😬
Her hair never lool good...let her use it product and let me see how it works...😂
My thing is Rihanna has never been known for her hair. That was my first time seeing her natural hair, which makes it feel like she’s strictly selling a product. Queen Latifah should make a hair care line. Even Beyonces line makes more sense because we’ve seen her natural hair before.
Queen Latifah has beautiful, healthy hair
@@nwatson2773 Yes, I agree!
We don't HAVE to buy anything. FULL STOP. That's all. That's it.
If u are older than 21 and still giving in to peer pressure, u need to sit and reflect on your life, good ppl, cuz 👀❓️⁉️‼️
Lowkey, I feel the celebrities are broke too. Literally, everyone is on tour and selling products.
But we still live in a world of FOMO and incusivity. So the people will skip a bill to be a part of something.
Time to sell a house ot two
Been said this. These ppl have STYLISTS, CHEFS, NANNYS, etc, but then come and sell us some damn hair care for $100 a bottle. YOU DON’T EVEN DO YOUR OWN DAMN HAIR! The stylists should be the one with the line. I’m done with “celebrities”. I think most ppl are done. This is why there will be no “celebrity”, soon. Ppl are tired. We have taken them off the pedestal. We don’t want it anymore.
People feel pressured to buy unnecessary things? This isn't a celebrity greed issue... It's an impulse issue. Just don't buy it.
It is a celebrity issue as well because people worship them.
Your wallet determines everything I refuse to believe para social relationships got folks out here buying stuff just because
@@Vi_lovelyWho cares if someone worships another person ? Just don't buy it, it's really that simple and not that hard to do. 😂
@@xAgirlfriend this is why the world is the way it is because of people worshiping celebrities a person who is a doctor gets 100k or less while a celebrity gets millions. But ok girl keep living in lala land
This is the one right here. Slay culture especially as black ppl is something we don't talk about enough. It has ppl feeling we must be something and have a goal to reach. We become impulsive as a society. Unlearning it is the best. Learning needs vs wants. Learning essential clothing vs fantasy clothing.
Lazy is right. Had the nerve to come to the front with 3 inches of hair talmbout buy my hair care 😂
god forbid a black woman experiments with her hair 🙄
I did the big chop, 3 times and got more hair than Riri
🤣🤣🤣🤣
They need to read the room! It's easier for them to push product and sit on their a**. Meanwhile, people are poor and struggling. No thank you.
Yes!! THANK YOU!!! I am sick of these celebrities soliciting to “everyday” hardworking and some cases struggling people to buy their products to keep them in an elite status!!! Enough is enough!!!! It’s become depraved and sickening!!! Glutinous!!!
“Rihanna aint in dexter’s laboratory with DD” I literally hollered!! 🤣
You are hitting on so many good points its ridiculous! Its the greed for me. These celebs and big corporations are price gouging. Hell everybody is raising prices because they can and they know people will continue to pay those prices.
Just don’t buy their products lol
💯💯💯💯💯
The sweat shop labor part had me. There’s already more than enough junk in landfills that will not decompose. These corporations are out of hand and regular folks are feeling the pain of it all.
Lots of unsold luxury goods end up being destroyed; shredded and burned.
These celebrities and wealthy people really don’t care and we the average people are also to blame because we continue to fund them whether it be buying their products or buying their stocks
Yes. People pedestalize and worship celebrities too much. It's to the point where folks don't want their fave celeb to face legal consequences when they do something wrong. Why? Bc they like how they look or like their movies or music. Rihanna knows that there are people who will buy her product just bc she's Rihanna. She sees how she is worshipped.
So Rihanna is just the face and name of the brand-it’s giving Lady Eloise.😭😭🤣🤣
I loved that eddie slept with her thinking he was going to get promoted lol
I love that movie
@@jgirlinluv55 He sure did, till Robin Givens had to bust his bubble-“She HAS NO POWER.”🤣🤣😭😩

what did you think? that she was in the lab mixing chemicals and discovering new formulas?? 💀
@@DeBlauweOlifant You must not have caught the joke.💀
😂😂 no fr I even gotta cut back on concerts
This! I’m starting to only go to concerts of musicians who aren’t mainstream or as mainstream which means their ticket prices are more affordable 😅
@staceyshere I feel you. The most I'll pay for a high profile artist is 40-100 and that's if your music ever got me thru some tough times.
Everybody feeds off the pain of the Black community for their own benefit and greed!
~ Tupac Shakur
music and celebrity be damned, it dont even sound the same the more you divest the more disgusted you feel at the pure greed, while we try and scrape by, better our lives, some of us accruing student loans we cant even afford just for hope at a better salary or income
Literally how I’ve been feeling these last few years
As I have learned to care for my 4c hair, the only thing I use is natural oils and DIY hair creams. Unless Fenty is selling coconut or jojoba oil I sadly won’t buy any Fenty hair 😭
Can you share any recipes for diy hair creams?? 😭 im tryna cure my alopecia aratea w high porosity 4c hair 🥲🥲
Rhianna didn't need a haircare line !!!! .... I was so annoyed when she announced her haircare brand. The makeup, skincare, and lingerie line is not enough?!!
The lingerie didn’t have longevity. It was cute when it first came out & the inclusiveness but then processes inclusive at all
The lingerie company failed, and she doesn't own the cosmetics companies. They are owned by LVHM which owns Sephora. A company called Kendo develops the products. She's just the face.
@@LPno.9it’s the same with Fenty Beauty. She doesn’t own that either. That’s why is hilarious when people say it’s a black owned brand when she’s just the face of it
@@staceyshere I was talking about Fenty.
It did come out of the blue
Idol worshipping and personality worshipping
Didn’t Rihanna sell most of her shares of Fenty Beauty??? Leave us alone lol
She never owned it to begin with.
@@2120musicloverThat part!
Just did a Google search and she's is currently listed as founder and has 50% ownership.
@@2120musicloverShe does own it. She’s owns 50 percent of it hating mf.
@@angelab9171 She does own it. She’s owns 50 percent of it hating mf.
New here. I literally laughed out loud at this title! That's why I clicked on this video. He mentioned a really good point. Like what is soooo innovative or exceptional about these products??!! Why did they really need to pump this out to the masses??!! I never ever even consider at all buying any of their hair products, skin care or make up but interestingly I went to Ulta Beauty maybe a few months ago and asked for a good high lighter for brown skin tones. So I was directed to Fenty Beauty and to my absolute shock, it was forty dollars a piece! I IMMEDIATELY thought for real!! Like I thought Rihannna was suppose to be the 'down to earth' girl and in tuned with the masses. I can understand MAYBE thirty dollars but forty dollars for one highlighter. Unbelievable!! So naturally I did not make that purchase.
Meanwhile there’s essence highlighter selling for 2.99 that’s even better than Fenty
@@sherocks9654 Lol. I think we all need to rethink how we view these celebrities. Even the actual real and talented ones, because it seems like they are all the same when it comes to being a bit greedy and predatory.
Just don't buy it, it's not that deep.
I’m glad more people are waking up to this. We ain’t got it now and many never did. They are selling a an aesthetic and keep moving the goal post. I have locs. I use good old, Cream of Nature shampoo & conditioner, mix my own oils and my hair is almost waist length now. Be your authentic self not who the world tells you to be.
No shade but yeah. It’s others brand that sell things for 100+ and at the end of the day makeup is a luxury not a need .
"WE WONT GO THERE... we can?!" that gets me everytime lol
That Fenty underwear scheme was horrible. And you’re right. Most of the stuff they sell is garbage.
In a consumer society there's always going to be somebody selling something. Celebrities or not.
I feel like people choose to worship celebrities. They're shallow and look to celebrities for validation. They just don't have to buy this crap. They'll buy it, use it, and think to themselves "this isn't anything special." But they will be in comment sections claiming that anyone who didn't give a good review is jealous. Then they'll buy more celebrity products that are subpar in quality because they're loyal to somebody who has no idea they even exist. People just follow and that's always been strange to me.
People do what they need to in order to get rich and stay rich. Capitalism isn't going anywhere. It works because people are materialistic, even poor people.
Exactly.
This sounds very specific lol
Most of these celebs are just influencers… they don’t even own their companies. That is why they always end up sueing people that they thought they were in partnership with.
She’s wearing her “natural” hair, because she needs to sell those hair products. I’ll pass, she wasn’t rocking her own hair til damn yesterday.
Once my celebrity products are done, that’s it. The market is so beyond oversaturated at this point and now I’m wondering, have celebrities always peddled their plethora of products back in the day?? I’m over it and once others start waking up to what’s going on, these celebrities will pretty much be doomed
Yeah Ig celebrities rlly are going broke bc almost everybody has some kind of hair care or makeup line for rlly no rzn 💀
I was just in the salvation army ...because i like to thrift...
And when i got to the register...the cashier was also pricing donations while checking me out.
I said "lady are they paying you twice your salary for this..."
She just laughed and kept double working. She was well over 50....
We live in strange times.
Desirability selling inclusivity is funny now that I understand the politics 💜
I used to not mind celebrities selling us stuff. But the prices they want to charge, sometimes are the cost of a phone bill. And it’s never worth it. I got roped in with the Fenty underwear scheme. I didn’t mind paying into it if it was going to count as credit. But it was a subscription!!! & people are struggling to pay rent, and utilities. Not to mention the digital subscription fees that we all have. You’re so right. Enough is enough.
If everytime a celebrity releases a product and your instinct is to instantly buy it despite not being able to afford it, or if you think that you must look like any celebrity to be valued... thats really a you problem. Rihanna is out here grinding, doing her thing and taking care of her family. Whoever wants the product buys it but no one is forced to.
im not purchasing nan more beyonce tickets. enough is enough. ive spent unreal amounts previously and i will not do it anymore.
For real, that was the first and last Beyonce concert I went to. I mainly went for the nostalgia and she was in town. But those prices were crazy!
Absolutely crazy! And I felt broke because I didn’t see any body complaining about the prices. I felt like it was maybe a me problem! NOPE those tickets were overpriced and we were stuffed in that stadium like sardines, I did not enjoy the renaissance tour at all.
@@hc____👏🏾 You Were Exploited and Taken advantage of. It's all Abt Fattening Their pockets Not Yours. It will make you upset as you get older.. Minimize it's best 👌🏾
About how much was a ticket I’m curious ?
@@Vi_lovelyI was going to ask the same thing
Y’all I was able to grow my hair down my back with hair products that cost less than $50 total. I’m not buying any ones hair products just for the name….. also, Rihanna should have tried to use her own products & grow her hair for at least a year or two before selling it to us. Because this is looking real thrown together. It looks like her stylists recently cut her hair into a TWA to make it look somewhat healthy.
I mean she has babies too, lots of women cut their hair so it's one less thing to worry about. If she wants to grow it out I think it would be smart to show the progress, but I honestly believe products don't grow your hair yeah it makes it easier/healthier but doesnt cause it to grow hair grows regardless
@@vanlifebae Yea, I have 2 babies also (well one isn’t a baby anymore). What I mean is that I was able to grow my hair and retain the length of that hair with products that were inexpensive. As someone who has tried tons of natural hair products, I’d be more inclined to purchase if I believed that these are products she has used over a long period of time and actually liked. Overall I think it’s just lazy marketing on their end. The flattened short hair did not look healthy at all. The curls look better but it still just seems really lazy & poorly executed. This is not an attack on Rihanna at all.. I think she is beautiful and I love her sense of style and innovation.
I was able to grow mine with MSM
🗣 Talk yo ish! Can't say nothing about reparations but NEED me to buy a concert ticket.
It’s Pure GREEDINESS, what’s next Fenty Furniture, Fenty Maternity, Fenty Travel 🤣🤣 it’s ridiculous.
Fenty Maternity for sure for when/if she has a daughter
I’m willing to put a bet on that rn 😂
they already have fenty travel
I’m hollering… not fenty furniture 😅
Don't give her any ideas lol
She has already trademarked Fenty Baby and Fenty Home 😂. She trademarked them around the time of Fenty Hair in 2021.
“Pretty Privilege” is NEVER EVER going anywhere & there’s nothing any of us can do about it. To be honest, we can’t blame these celebrities because NO ONE is holding a gun to their heads making them purchase what they’re selling.
Half of these celebrities have had some type of work done. So their beauty is not real. You can not look like something that not real. I wish people will just work on improving them self stop trying to look like someone else. Their are inexpensable products that work just as good as those products that they're selling. A lot of their stuff are copycats of stuff that already out there.
And for Beyonce and her mom why did they do hair thing at first. Since she was in the hair business instead of a clothing line. Maybe mom would've been a house hold name herself.
We need to talk about the black dollar and how it’s literally almost impossible to get capital. Look at the issues with the fearless fund, look at the direction beyonce is heading… it’s about obtaining capital gains.
I don't hear about any of the Black celebrities with an investment group, hedge fund, etc etc into Black businesses, grocery stores in the hood, etc etc. The last time I heard of Black celebs helping a Black business was that Carol's Daughter thing. Or specifically giving to Black folk (excluding back to school/Turkey drive) was when Bey and Jay paid bail for the protesters. I've been over it
@@ebonygoddess007 that part I agree with about the celebrities not contributing back into their communities, but I’m talking about the situations that’s preventing black people to make powerful moves. It’s disheartening I think that needs to be discussed more
@@noway8224 if Black folks are already getting the mental health therapy and financial knowledge necessary then the only thing necessary is capital....period. Now she's mixed but look at the Pink Sauce lady. She embodies my comment perfectly. If she was mentally healthy (she's not) and had financial knowledge( she didn't) then the capital she received could have changed her life. The last step is capital if the other things are in play. Without straying too much from Justin's video/point that's all I was trying to say in adding discussion
@@ebonygoddess007 Yeah what ever happened to the city that Akon was building? 🤔
All I wanted outta riri was some new music 😅
Instead we get a Shae coconut hair body oil duo😂
SHES RETIRED! 😜
She is not interested in performing for us peasants anymore, but she'll gladly hawk some overpriced products to us thst we dont need
She's retired
Her hair doesn’t look fried. It’s short and curly and I appreciate that she’s showing it at this length so we can see the growth.
I think its the filter on it too
But did she even say that she wants to grow it lol. People buy her products because they're happy they'll be able to see her hair grow with her own products... Or that's what they think and expect.... Riri can really sell anything while doing nothing but showing up. I'll give that to her. She knows her audience
@@HereDiianasso true! and it’s sad. they know damn well that the more gullible fans (who going through the same economic struggles everyone else is) are more than ready to buy a dream ☠️
Ticket master is being sued
👀
ima keep it a stack I done found all the 'ingredients' they use in hair and skin on Amazon. I have my process already I ain't paying $30 for no shampoo Pooh 💅🏾
I'm not a fan of celebrity content but your sociopolitical and economic analysis to celebrity content is extremely insightful.
I feel like if we stop buying their haircare stuff, makeup, music, etc they will feel it in their pockets, we r the ones making them rich yet when we do happen to see them we can't even get the chance to say hi!
I just buy Esty hair and skincare for black and brown people
Ohhh what shops do you visit sis?
I remember when COVID first hit and you did a video about The City Girls and Latto doing shows during the lockdowns and your critique was that shit was finally hitting the fan and that these celebs weren't really ballin' like they wanted us to believe. I see no difference here. Remember, these celebs have people to pay, some may actually pay taxes, and whatever else they pay into especially if they have children. These people are broke just like us, but on a much larger scale. They NEED to always be working. It's sad.
When I find a hair care line that sells a giant bottle of conditioner , like in lines aimed at whites people, I will then know that a celebrity gives a f about black hair. Until then, I will choose carefully and continue making many of my own products. That biochemistry degree plus an old fashioned southern grandma and her recipes has helped, 😂
Yes why does suave and Pantene have do much but as for us tiny tubes lol
Exactly. They know we need it. Wp don't even need conditioner like that lol. Slap in the face .
Thank u for addressing this. People are eating up her hair right now as though it looks amazing and healthy. Women are saying how genius she is for showing her hair like that. Ppl wouldn’t buy it from a regular gurl with a twa. Billionaires have bills and most likely don’t have a billion in the bank. Keep using what ur using if it works. We don’t have to support every door opening. In the end rich folk will come out fine.
Justin!!!!😂😂😂😂 the danity kane reference about her scalp im screeching im on the flo! But I agree because they keep putting stuff in our faces and we just tryna survive.
When he said that I SCREAMED!! But for real Rihanna has never been known for great hair.
if you can't afford the thing, don't buy the thing. easy fix
I refuse to buy from celebrity brands. This people are online flashing their riches in our faces while we, the ones funding their rich lifestyle, are broke. Hell no.
whew, there is so much here to unpack
There will always be something for sale. There must also be the discipline to not buy if it isn't an absolute necessity
That's how businesses works, putting out products, don't buy 😕
Chile I thought the same, like when did we ever look to Rihanna for her. It’s the same thing with Beyoncé, we gotta hold them to the same standard. It’s a lot, it’s a lot of over consumerism
I promise you never miss. You always hit it on the nail
It's up to us to know our situations and act accordingly.. If I don't need or want something, no one can force me to buy it. These folks will not stop so it is up to us to regulate ourselves...
You should’ve put broke in cap letters!!!
