Rihanna ignores naysayers, lives life on her own terms

Pop star Rihanna seems to have adopted a "who cares" attitude because she has realised she can't please everyone all the time.

Pop star Rihanna seems to have adopted a "who cares" attitude because she has realised she can't please everyone all the time. The 24-year-old recently created controversy by recording with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and reportedly smoking marijuana.

"Who wants to be bashed every day of their f**king lives? That's not fun. Today, I could eat an apple, and 10 people like it and one will not. The next day I could do shots and five people will like it and five won't,” contactmusic.com quoted Rihanna as saying.

"What's important is, you never know. You can't do it for the reaction because it's never going to be the same. I learned to live my life with the blinders on. At one point it was so bad, it became numb for me. It was a scary place to be,” she added.
