Rihanna Goes Cryptic With 'Unapologetic' Tweets Of Prose
by Sean ComerWhere Rihanna and Chris Brown go, speculation follows like a starving dog chasing the Weinermobile.
It's been speculated recently that the pair will make it official that they're back together as previously abused girlfriend and barely repentant abuser shortly after Rihanna's new album Unapologetic drops November 19th.
In the meantime, as detailed Friday by Perez Hilton, Rihanna has been scattering cryptic tweets of prose with the hashtag "#Unapologetic".
Obviously, nothing's really "official" until it comes from either the horse's mouth (or, in Brown's case, horse's ass), but it seems fairly obvious she's waxing quasi-philosophical about reuniting with Captain Whoop-Ass. Of course, the pair split not long after Brown beat the tar out of her while driving the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards. The way it comes across, though, it's the kind of "Ask me what it means! Ask me what it means! ... I won't tell you, but ask me what it means, damn you!" teasing that's already grating when it comes from butt-hurt, emo 15-year-olds who have memorized every Simple Plan lyric.
When it comes from an already-talented artist who's merely trying to sell me something, it's just a little sad to see the capitalization on a renewed relationship's context to pimp a new album.
From Hilton's report, here are the tweets in sequence, less the hashtags...
Mother Mary, I swear I wanna change…
I'm from the left side of an island…never thought this many people would even know my name
Let's capture the moment…
Cuz even forever and forever, I swear by the moment
Together ain't promised forever, let's live in the moment
As long as we got each other, die in the moment
I don't wanna give you the wrong impression… I need Love&Affection
Whatever it is, it feels like it's laughing at me through the glass of a two sided mirror
What now?
I shouldn't be crying, tears were for the weaker days
I'm stronger now! Or so I say….
I found the one, he changed my life…But was it me that changed and he just happened to come at the right time?
I don't know where to go, I don't know what to feel, I don't know how to cry, I don't know why
