Rihanna Avoiding Tyler Perry Movie Roles
An insider close to Rihanna claims she’s “under a mandate” to star in another film by the end of this year, but RihRih is staying faaarrrr away from Tyler Perry and his predictable rom-coms. Word is T.P. has been trying to bag Rihanna to shine in one of his flicks for a year-and-a-half, but just before she passed, the legendary Whitney Houston told rude gyal to steer away from Perry’s movies because they’re for “fading Black stars, not rising ones.” (Well, when you think about it…)
The source also said that Drake’s old fling/new boo thinks she works better in action movies like her film debut, 2012’s Battleship. Or maybe she just doesn’t want to end up being the typical drunk, low self-esteem having wife in a failing marriage with a bunch of man-drama and family issues rescued by the church. (Shrugs.)
