- Taken at last weekend’s Coachella festival in California, the image has caused outrage amongst some web users, attracting more than 1,000 comments, with some suggesting she was rolling a joint, and other speculating it was cocaine.
- One wrote: "Yep take coke! U gonna die," while another added, "Chick looks like a druggie."

- The fan wrote: "I love her music, not her lifestyle. Hope she gets this under control before we have her funeral on TV like Whitney Houston."
- A parent of one of her young followers added: "I have a ten-year-old daughter who loves her, and I wouldn’t want my child to see this."
- Rihanna had previously insisted that she does not want to be a role model for any body, and recently updated her Twitter page with: "I'm crazy, and I don't pretend to be anything else."
