Rihanna Tattoos “Thug Life” On Her Knuckles

    In an homage to Tupac Shakur, Rihanna has tattooed the words “Thug Life” across her knuckles.

    Posting a picture of her latest ink to Twitter, the Bajan songstress showed off her tats, writing, “(TM) All these bitches screaming that 2pac back (TM) #THUGLIFE.” She later vetted criticism from the Twittersphere, responding, “Err’body has an opinion, but yall know what yall can do with them!!! #THUGLIFE.”

    Check out a picture of the tattoo below.

      1. thats not contradictory at all.
        Thug Life was never about violence, it was livin life as a social outcass and underdog and how everybody in that life gotta unite and represent.

        Tupac is what John Lennon would be if he was black and raised in the ghetto

    1. i dont think its pot… she been snorting too much shit and fucking too many rappers… pac would have slit her throat…

      1. every guy in here would even the morons talking crap. the picture isn’t the best one of her and I’m sure she’s not as pretty without the makeup and all but a great body cant be faked and she’s got that which makes every guy in here willing to fuck her all night long. id build a home in that pussy, my dick would get wrinkles from being wet so long like wrinkled up fingers after being in a pool all day.

    2. horrible choice. It’s ultimately her business, of course, but tats in general should only be taken on if a person really truly wants to get one and there is a deeply rooted reason why. This may prevent her from getting acting roles, they would have to be covered up. and 20 years from now, especially if she has children, what does it really mean to have some tattoo of some amorphously defined lifestyle on your fingers? What’s the point, really? Considering what happened between her and Chris Brown, why would she openly embrace “thug life” sentiments? Come on. What’s she rebelling against? She’s already a mainstream pop superstar. She has equal crossover status with any other R&B singer. I hope she doesn’t degenerate into a Britney/Lindsay thing where there ends up all of these heavily eccentric behaviors that skirt the edge of self-mutilation.

    3. Pac wouldn’t do shit, bitch ass nigga, i would tell him to his face too, and it would be certainly worth the beat down, nigga couldn’t fight anyway

      1. STFU,Faggit ass nigga. If Pac was in front of you. You be too scared to breath,nigga. Stop Fakin and frontin

      2. kaykay is somehow right

        Pac cannot stand a fight on his own

        everytime he was involved into some fight, either he was strapped or backed up by his crew

        now, i don’t question his skills as an artist but y’all gotta grow up a little bit and live your own life instead of constantly idol shipping your favorite rapper

      3. Would you shoot 2 Cops while seeing another man being beat on? NO…Fuck you! Your nothin, Punk ass internet BITCH!

      4. Pac def. stomped out a crip ON CAMERA and alwayss fought people at the drop of a dime, and his entourage wudv’e def. fought yu, and after he died madd crips got murked..so yeah pac wud do shyt

      5. Did you actually see this video you’re talking bout ? Cause I did and obviously he was not on his own when he beat up the guy, there were a bunch of mothafuckaz with him beatin down the dude.

        You don’t believe me ? here is the link mothafucka : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We9NEnBky2A

        Even when he fought the hughes brothers he said he caught them FROM BEHIND. only cowards attack people from behind.

        Still don’t believe me ? here is another link mothafucka : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbhAllAdmzE

        And that’s only a few examples among all the bitchy things this dude did and y’all praising him for.

        So niggaz please, SHUT THE F- UP !

      6. Riiight, like you would face the Hughes bros face to face by pulling a gat in plain view, you dumb motherfucker, like you would have the balls to shoot two undercover cops, you dont have balls, bitch.

      7. Therefore, stop criticizing Pac since you couldn’t or wouldn’t do the things he’s done, you pussy ass bitch hater.

    4. im tired of people putting the pussy on the pedestal. he is a prime example for all you wanna be thugs and gangsters, play hard and end up dead, nobody is untouchable

    5. I Swear Im Busting Up this is Beyond been a Fool, Im a Turk Livin in London i Know More thuged out girls here and my homeland, This Bitch THUG LiFE L.O.Fuckin.L,

    6. Where are the role models for the kids today, when i turn on the tv all I see is reality tv stars and rappers with tattoos

    7. yeah this was newsworthy

      FAGGOT

      when you guys gonna give me some mac miller news? first time i haven’t seen his name here on the front page in MONTHS

      rap sucks

      1. because he’s nobody interesting, that’s why.

        y’all are proving rihanna’s success, 50 comments in mere hours full of haterade. mac miller can’t pull that

    8. And the final nail is planted into the coffin…The industry has officially erased the memory of everything Tupac actually stood for.

      1. wtf are you crying about.

        niggas just talk out their ass and act like theyre saying something. saying this is disrespectful is like saying a kid from the burbs listening to 2pac is disrespectful just because they didnt grow up in the hood. i love pac but i swear he has some of the most ignorant, over-sensitive fans in the music business.. then when nobody talks about pac you complain that nobody appreciates him. nigga you just want to complain. no matter what a niggas does or doesnt do you will complain. you put this nigga on such a pedestal that anything short of praying to him you feel is disrespectful.

        you are the reason alot of people resent pac and call him overrated. cause you act like you’re his fucking mother. crying about everything. she got a tattoo giving him alittle shout out. so the fuck what nigga. its not the end of the world. she was doing it in honor of him…. not because she wants to be a thug. god damn nigga grow up.

      2. eric 100.

        nigga complain everytime pac is in the news. whether its good or bad its never good enough for them.

    9. Why is this chick so popular? She cant fucking sing. I don’t condone Chris Brown for smacking the shit out of her………….

      But i understand.

    10. What an idiot.
      That’s a terrible picture. She needs to ask to see her pics before she sends them out. Her forehead looks like a runway. Throw some bangs over that ish.

    11. hahahaha thug life, I can see it now, she been in the dark side yo, she got bitchslapped by Chris Brown.. done blow.. and probably got rough anal fucked by Jay-Z too. Or kanye, whichever’s more likely

    12. every guy in here would even the morons talking crap. the picture isn’t the best one of her and I’m sure she’s not as pretty without the makeup and all but a great body cant be faked and she’s got that which makes every guy in here willing to fuck her all night long. id build a home in that pussy, my dick would get wrinkles from being wet so long like wrinkled up fingers after being in a pool all day.

      I agree with u son. I would fuck this broad everyday for a whole year.

      1. Do you have multiple personality disorder? Yeah son, I agree. Nah homie, I don’t think so. You don’t think so? Shiiiiit…

    13. Damn Chris Brown must have really beat her five-head, or must have been that Lindsey Lohan she snortin’… either way she’s making a mockery of what 2Pac stood for…

      1. no, she’s actually not.me wearing a bandana forwards is not mocking 2pac. its honoring his memory. get over yourself nigga.

      2. your a fucking complete idiot and probably listen to Drake. Get back in your room before I belt you, jeggen’s wearing fag

    14. Tug jobs!

      lol but seriously artist in pop industry need to get there shit together its a bad look for hiphop heads seeing rihanna witht this shit

    15. Pac touched so many people with his music i cant even hate on her for that.ii know for a fact the song brenda got a baby hit home with alot of females.R.I.P BIG HOMIE!!1

    16. 2pac fans need to lighten up.80% of yall sound like bitches.most of the time you’re either you’re screaming killuminti (not even know what it really means), saying if pac was alive he would hate everybody, or claiming someone is disrespecting. 2pac touched alot of different people. my cousin dressed as 2pac for halloween a few years ago. im sure one of you groupies saw her and cried yourself to sleep because you thought it was disrespectful. Its called honoring his memory. we dont have to get shot 5 times to understand pac’s music or enjoy his work. same we dont have to be thugs to get a tattoos in honor of him. Now i see why so many people hate 2pac fans. most of yall are just fucking groupies. just yesterday i saw a video of a dude imitating 2pac dissing jay z. like what is wrong of you people. lighten the fuck up. would you rather noone remembers 2pac anymore? You’d probably complain about that shit too. always complaining. 2pac groupies are so annoying. lighten the fuck up.

      1. yeah people think pac was some heartless monster.thug life is not about shooting people its about thuggin your way threw this life and political crap in america.

    17. i hope rihanna aint fucking with that hard white. she’s been doing some off the wall shit lately. thug life tatted on your knuckles is not sexy. especially if you trying to stay in this game for the long run. looks like we might have another whitney in the making….

    18. eh…at this point if you don’t think this chick isn’t in it for the shock value, then you’re dumb. And 2nd of all, Thug Life was a lifestyle Pac held dearly and regarded highly. He’s probably rolling in his grave right now. That’s one of the reasons he had beef with the Mobb initially bc they misused that phrase hopping on his tip. And now to more pleasant news…How about them Blazers?

      1. rihanna does not need to use anyone to sell records. plus 2pac’s last posthumous album debuted at number 9. stop reaching

    19. Pac wouldn’t do shit, bitch ass nigga, i would tell him to his face too, and it would be certainly worth the beat down, nigga couldn’t fight anyway

    20. Whoa! I thought I was looking at the character selection screen of Mortal Kombat 3 with that Sheeva lookin pic…

    21. And ya’ll think Rihanna aint under a spell??? What you see here is a MIND-CONTROLLED PUPPET. Jay-Z is her handler aka “puppet master” much like Britney Spears, Beyonce, Lady Gaga etc.. I hope the HIP HOP community stops supporting these satanic people!!

      1. ny777 What do you do with your life and work thats so special that you can pass judgment on people. like anon said do you even have a job? lol you need to sort your own life out before you start worrying about someone that doesnt even kno your loser ass exists.

      2. O RANDY you poor baby… are u a JAYZ fan? Is Rihanna your dream girl??

        u fit the exact description of a puppet yourself… you dont argue the FACTS you just try to spread HATE instead of learn something… like Gandhi Says ”

        “First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

        your somewhere between stages 2-3 little boy!!!

    22. I would love to fuck RiRi’s brains out and I even listen to some of her cuts at times but the fact is she is a manufactured artist by the music machine. She came out on some debutant ball shit now she a rider like she from brooklyn or watts. Not saying her home is weak Im just saying all this mega pop shit done got to her head. She’s a “in the now artist” who wont be as sexy when father time sets. Her music is not ground breaking its just really sensational when you talk about sex drugs, fucking rockin out pop star shit. Her albums always sound good at first but they have ZERO shelf life.

      I still wanna pull her hair from the back tho.

    23. Yep. She continues her attention seeking tactics yet again. Why won’t this industry manufactured crazed delusional no talent hack bitch vamoose the f on away…

      Chris Brown. Lesson, lil nigga. Instead of beating the shit senseless out of her…beat some sense into her. Thanks, sport. Now get to work, clown.

    24. Whoa this is really great news DX? What has this to do with hiphop?

      Why write such an article? Who gives a fuck about some tattoo

      Whats next? Rihanna is farting?

    25. She gonna get older and look crazy with all that …even though she got the paper to remove it …but why she too pretty for all that …also her music is annoying to me …..shout out to Chris Brown

    26. RiRi is sexy as hell. Theres no doubt about that.

      But if you wanted to get a tat of Pac, or something in his memory, the last place ud do it is on the front of your fingers. I mean specially for a female….man…that aint classy. I mean she still gonna be smoking’, but this jsut aint cool. Tats are sexy, and she has some reall cute n sexy ones, but damn, wat a waste. This looks like a steady decline…???

      Btw….DX…i know I commented on this, only coz riri is fine as wine…but why the fuck is this DX news?

    27. Haha thug life? for real?, thats far from classy for someone like Rihanna, you’d think she’d set an exampl. watch all these hoes start tattooing their knuckles lol, Rihanna is on one for real, Chris must’ve smacked her personality out the window…

      1. “Youd think she’d be a roll model?” Why? What would give anyone that impression? You’d think she’d be the hoe that her record company has fashioned her to be and do something trashy like this.

    28. THIS BITCH IS STILL IN LOVE WITH CHRIS BROWN!! SHE LIKE THAT BAD ASS EDGY NIGGA. “THUG LIFE” IS PURE PROOF.

    29. this woman in general is a horrible role model for females. everything went nuts with her since disturbia…feel bad for lil willow smith beind turned into a younger version of her.

      wonder why? maybe shes a lil illuminated…

      1. she’s an illuminati sex sex slave, just like aaliyah.. errbody hittin dat she bein passed around like a blunt on friday night

    30. 2pac fans need to lighten up.80% of yall sound like bitches.most of the time you’re either you’re screaming killuminti (not even know what it really means), saying if pac was alive he would hate everybody, or claiming someone is disrespecting. 2pac touched alot of different people. my cousin dressed as 2pac for halloween a few years ago. im sure one of you groupies saw her and cried yourself to sleep because you thought it was disrespectful. Its called honoring his memory. we dont have to get shot 5 times to understand pac’s music or enjoy his work. same we dont have to be thugs to get a tattoos in honor of him. Now i see why so many people hate 2pac fans. most of yall are just fucking groupies. just yesterday i saw a video of a dude imitating 2pac dissing jay z. like what is wrong of you people. lighten the fuck up. would you rather noone remembers 2pac anymore? You’d probably complain about that shit too. always complaining. 2pac groupies are so annoying. lighten the fuck up.

      1. Ayo kizman aka the poop pusher. U been doing copy and paste of other people’s post. Do u have a job? U should consider getting one at waste management or do gay porn.

    31. You haven’t got a clue love, thug life doesn’t personify looking ‘hard’, it’s about a struggle and a movement for the misrepresented and voiceless in society, what a joke. Honouring Pac in that way is the biggest kick in the nuts you could do to him.

    32. She’s a full-blown hide behind the police and charge a man snitch

      and now she has Thug Life tatted? wtf?

      Go Fuck yourself you cop sucking rat
