Fans took to Twitter to voice their disapproval at the 25-year-old’s choice of words, with one tweeting:

The Barbadian superstar then further riled her followers, when used the derogatory term again the next day, tweeting:

“It's the weekend and I am creeping with my n***az.”

Her usually loyal followers hit back at the term, with one tweeting:

“The word is derogatory. If some cultures aren't allowed to say it, noone should.”

This comes only 16 months after Rihanna herself hit out at a Dutch fashion magazine, which referred to her a ‘n*a bch’.

The Stay singer, who is currently on her Diamonds world tour in Atlanta, tweeted a topless picture of her backstage preparations, with the caption:

“Showtime!! #DWT”.

The songstress has good reason for her cheery mood, as she has now broken the record for the most pop songs by one artist reaching the No.1 spot.

She is set to release a 77 minute documentary next month, featuring last year’s 777 tour, during which she performed in 7 different countries in 7 nights.
