culture doesn't make people deaf. Rihanna's hits are not targeted to a certain kind. they are actual hits.
Demetra_Sade, Esq.@deeleeshis
As much as I love Rihanna, what are 20 Rihanna songs that could make her win in a VERZUS against Ciara? Are we forgetting the target audience of the actual VERZUS is to appease a certain culture?

@TessaTydo Yes! Exactly! That’s how I know you didn’t understand the topic being discussed. 😂
English
@deeleeshis my bad. i forgot you said Cece being local is the most important thing. look at me talking about global hits.

@justcallmecory Part of the reason they don’t understand why Ciara would win a VERZUS is be because most of them are non black Americans that don’t understand the cultural impact that the VERZUS celebrates. They are too busy arguing global impact and commercial success, which is not the topic.
English
@deeleeshis I’m with you on this. Rihanna has about 12 before getting into some heavy pop songs or deep cuts. Ciara only has about 13-14 before getting into deep cuts as well though. This is considering the verzus audience. Otherwise, Rihanna washes just based on hits

Attempted my own Ciara v. Rihanna verzuz bracket last night and gave up after 25 minutes. The issue is Ciara has 20.. for sure. Rihanna could go for 20 and, an extra 20 more.

@TessaTydo Tessa, I’m not sure how and why this is going over your head, you’re based in Africa so unfortunately you’re never going to understand the nuance of this debate. Have a good day.
English
@deeleeshis this means they are general hits that are not limited to a certain group alone.

Like I’m genuinely confused. Are we suppose to abide by the Billboard charts???? Fuck all that. Ima say it straight up, Rihanna is not gonna ever wash Ciara in a Versuz for so many reasons. But yall can keep posting stats. The girls who get it, get it.

@popkultureguru @chrilenciaga Success and crossover audiences don’t have to turn into disrespect or hierarchy. Music is always subjective. I’m not here to argue chart success or say a song is better just because it sold more.
English
@deeleeshis where did i say that? i literally said Rihanna's hits caters for everyone. culture will not going make anyone deaf. and you said Cece is local and only caters to that demographic like Rihanna doesn't have black fans.
English
Rihanna will do a versus with any of her peers in Africa for only African audience and win. I'm talking about songs that also blew up in Africa or Nigeria. If there are 100 foreign songs that blew up here, Rihanna has atleast 20, same as drake, CB, maybe JB and Bey too.

@TessaTydo You’re saying Rihanna hits aren’t targeted to a certain kind and I said the VERSUZ appeases to a certain demographic are literally not the same thing. You got to comprehend before a conversation can be had.
English
@deeleeshis you did. you said she would lose because of the audience. did you write something you don't even understand yourself?
English
@red071287 No I said she wasn’t winning a versus against Ciara. None of what you said. Go back and READ slowly.
English
@deeleeshis Thats exactly what you are saying and the culture! That you are referring to is the black audience! And they live Rihannas music! She grew up an entire generation/the cukture on those hits! Your original statement is stupid

English
@fentyvibesz Well duh, but that wasn’t the topic at hand.
English
@deeleeshis Rihanna is bigger than Ciara across each and every culture. Stop with the lame excuses

@deeleeshis @blancoBLK "Esq" can't read‽
Are you bot or a catfish?

@deeleeshis @blancoBLK Where does he agree with you because y'all are saying 2 different things
English
@mrgodiva69 @THEHORRORGOTH 😂🤣🤣 I’m trying to fight back!
English
@deeleeshis @TessaTydo Because you are acting like Rihanna don’t have black fans
English
@andrewest2u I’m not putting them in the same category, I’m engaging a topic that did. It’s all hypothetical. And I agree with you, which is why I think Ciara would win a VERZUS.
English
By your own logic about target audience, the comparison doesn’t even hold. You’re labeling Ciara as an R&B act and Rihanna as a pop star, then trying to put them in the same conversation when their reach isn’t the same. Ciara’s impact is strong within the culture, but her hits haven’t scaled globally the way Rihanna’s have. Rihanna isn’t just big in one lane she’s a worldwide force, and the numbers reflect that.

Y’all love starting shit on this app but uh “I just wanna show you how much I appreciate you” 🫣
