Video: New drug scandal compromises singer Rihanna
A brief recording captured during the visit of the singer Rihanna to the Coachella music festival circulates on social networks, in which the artist is seen allegedly inhaling cocaine.
In the video published on the social network Instagram, the singer is seen rolling a white cylindrical object and touching her nose while she was partying with some friends at the festival.
The controversial video was published by an Instagram user and apparently the singer herself left a comment on the publication outraged by what was being hinted at about her. “Even an idiot can see that what I'm doing is rolling a cigarette. Who snorts tobacco? Just because someone touches their nose does not mean they are taking coca! ”.
The user quickly deleted the publication, but it had already circulated on social networks:
The recording was quickly viralized, alarming the singer's fans for the alleged consumption of said drug, which led Rihanna to finally show her face and publish another video herself, also on Instagram, where she appears rolling a cigarette.
It is not the first time that the "badgirl" (bad girl), as she calls herself, is involved in a similar case; Rihanna experienced a similar situation in 2012 when she posted an image of herself cutting a white powdery substance off a man's head.
On this occasion Rihanna defended herself by uploading the video in which she appears rolling tobacco in cigarette paper, and shortly afterwards she published a photograph smiling and holding a can of Coca-Cola, referring to the controversy and suggesting that this is the only “coca” what it takes.
