R.I.P. to Rihanna's Instagram...

Rihanna's Instagram was iconic. I'm going to miss it. I'm going to miss her classic shade. Comparing a man's lips to a brown leather couch and peeling the flesh off Liz Jones back for branding her a "toxic role model for her army of young fans" was brutal but so funny. Her acidic words for the Daily Mail columnist? A "sloppy menopausal mess", right along with the most unflattering photo. 

It wasn't just the entries that had my stomach in knots. It was many of her "Rihplies" as well. Rihanna was furious when Instagram removed semi-nude photos from her 'Lui' photoshoot last week. Instagram temporarily suspended her account and it returned (supposedly due to some system error, if that's to be believed). Anyway, it seems Rihanna was having none of it and decided to delete the entire thing herself. You're not going to get a wittier Instagram than Rihanna's and it's even worse because it seems she's abandoned Twitter as well. I hope this is not truly the end for Bad Gal RiRi and that she reactivates her account when she's ready to drop that eighth studio album later this year.
