Rihanna Didn't Realise The Word 'C**t' Was Offensive
Rihannahas admitted that she never realised the word 'c**t' was an expletive.
The Cheers (Drink To That) singer, who was recently slammed for using the offensive word on Twitter, claims she had no idea it was a swear word until she moved to America from her native Barbados.
Speaking about her foul language to the November issue of British Vogue, RiRi explained: "That word is so offensive to everyone in the world except for Bajans."
"You know African-Americans use the n-word to their brothers? Well, that's the way we use the c-word,"
She continued: "When I first came here, I was saying it like it was nothing, like, 'Hey, c**t', until my make-up artist finally had to tell me to stop. I just never know."
The 23-year old also confessed that she hates feeling under pressure to be a role model for her fans, stating to the publication: "See, people – especially white people – they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead."
"The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me and being a role model became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That's it."
RiRi added: "Look, God doesn't give any more than you can handle. I had to get through a lot of ups and downs – big downs – and a lot of trial and error to get where I am now."
