Who Run’s This Town?

Last week Rihanna’s performance of her Kanye West & Jay Z assisted song “Run This Town” and accompanying comedy skit on CBS’s Thursday Night Football was removed.  In light of the Ray Rice incident CBS decided that the segment didnt fit the feel of their hourlong pre game show that dealt heavily with the issue of domestic violence.  The subtext was that Rihanna is very well known for her own run in’s with domestic violence dating back to the 2009 incident with Chris Brown, and that most likely is what led to the decision to remove the Billboard toping singer from the broadcast.

Rihanna has weighed in on the move, and the subsequent intentions of CBS to now this week use the song on their broadcast.

 

You go girl.  I mean seriously, this is BS of the highest order and it’s good to hear someone sticking up for themselves when their comments could end up hurting their pockets.  It’s unsure whether she has the power to stop the airing at this point but we will keep you posted.
