Rihanna responds to marijuana controversy



Reports and photos of Rihanna smoking pot at the Coachella festival last weekend have made some headlines for the pop singer.

Billboard reports the headlines have forced Rihanna to respond.

On Thursday, the uptight folks at MTV tweeted "Yikes. @Rihanna's marijuana photos from Coachella spark controversy," posting shots from the singer's Instagram feed and drawing a barbed response from Rihanna herself.

"@MTV Yikes… @rihanna ran out of f***s to give,"
she tweeted back.

MTV has since deleted its tweet, though the story remains posted.

"I'm crazy, and I don't pretend to be anything else," Rihanna tweeted on Tuesday, in response to fans concerned by the photos.

Perhaps she was drawing inspiration from past artists: on Wednesday, Rihanna took to her Twitter page to advise fans to see the new Bob Marley documentary, "Marley."

"Bob Marley is my HERO #thatisall," she added, of the noted reggae icon and marijuana aficionado.

The singer’s Coachella photos aren’t the only ones that have made headlines for the pop superstar; in January, Rihanna was caught on film enjoying some herb while on vacation in Hawaii.
