Rihanna Has the Perfect Response to Her Rumored Feud With Beyoncé
![On her rumored feud with Beyoncé after "Formation" dropped the same week as Anti: "Here’s the deal. [The media] just get so excited to feast on something that’s negative. Something that’s competitive. Something that’s, you know, a rivalry. And that’s just not what I wake up to. Because I can only do me. And nobody else is going to be able to do that.”
On how her fast-paced singing on "Work" is a nod to her home country of Barbados: "You get what I’m saying, but it’s not all the way perfect, because that’s how we speak in the Caribbean.”
On her new song "Higher": "[It's like] a drunk voice mail. You know he’s wrong, and then you get drunk and you’re like, ‘I could forgive him. I could call him. I could make up with him.’ Just, desperate. We just said, ‘You know what? Let’s just drink some whiskey and record this song.’"](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/ps-image-unavailable.png "On her rumored feud with Beyoncé after \"Formation\" dropped the same week as Anti: \"Here’s the deal.
