Twitter Beef Round 1, 2, 3, and 4. Rihanna Vs. Everyone?

Misunderstandings, arguments, conflict. It's all part of human nature. However many are beginning to question superstar Rihanna's intentions after several Twitter beef run-ins with fellow singers. She's even taken a jab at comedian Joan Rivers. While some dismiss her behavior as playful and innocent fun, others call it outright "Cyber Bullying." So let's rewind and start from the beginning. Trust me it's all very minuscule and petty but you'll understand my question better with an entire timeline. In 2012, Rihanna admitted to Oprah that she was still in love with Chris Brown despite their highly publicized 2009 domestic dispute. The result of that dispute left Rihanna badly bruised and beaten. To that revelation, Joan Rivers tweeted "Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it's MY turn to slap her." Rihanna did not find the humor in her comment, snapping back she said "wow u really do get slow when you're old huh? slap on some diapers". She later removed that tweet and simply modified it to "slap on some diapers." 

That beef has since died down. On to the next. Ciara. Rihanna and Ciara were formerly friends until an appearance on E!'s Fashion Police where Ciara alluded to an incident where she felt that Rihanna was less than friendly. All hell broke loose following this appearance and despite several interviews where both say there's no shade, it looks as though there's enough shade to cover an entire day of sunshine. Most recently Ciara posted an Instagram video of her singing her own song "Body Party" acapella in Paris. Following her post, Rihannas' well know assistant and friend Melissa Forde (not to be confused with video vixen Melissa Ford) posted a tweet mimicking Ciara.

Now Rihanna is into it yet again, this time with Teyana Taylor. Some of you may recognize the upcoming singer from MTV's Sweet Sixteen. It showcased privileged teens whos parents were willing to spend six-figures and sometimes more on their child's sixteenth birthday! Currently she is signed to Kayne West's G.O.O.D music label. She was also cast in Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family as Sabrina, Byron's (Bow Wow) ghetto ex-girlfriend, the mother of his son and "the baby mama from Hell". She is a very talented vocalist who also, like Ciara, placed a video on Instagram of her singing Anita Baker's Rapture of Love, to which Rihanna responded to by having a male friend sing the exact same song, with a curly wig that mimicks the hair style of Taylor. I posted both videos below for you to compare and decide.

Once again, a Twitter war has erupted, only this time Rihanna may have met her match. Teyana sent a number of tweets to Rihanna.

Rihanna fired shots back by posting a screenshot of a website casting the difference in their net worth. She ultimately concluded  

"I REFUSE to help your career…you will NOT get an @ from me! Not til you pay me! #iRefuse 

I hate broke b-tches."

So my question to you all is what is your opinion? Do you feel that Rihanna is throwing shade? Or is this just another run of the mill publicity stunt. I'm not sure what to make of it. I think anyone of that stature making that much money shouldn't have time for nonsense. But hey, what do I know?
