: When Rihanna was tweeting out pics of her SMOKING WEED, sipping on Corona's, and F*CKING every dude she thought was cute . . . she ain't know it was gonna cost her $25 MILLION!!
But we just learned that NIVEA, the skin care company which paid Rihanna more than $25M last year - just CANCELLED their contract with her. Nivea provided Rih with not only UP FRONT CASH .. . but they were the MAIN sponsor for her tour - allowing her to have OVER THE TOP stage performances (without breaking the budget).
Here is what the company's NEW CEO is saying, via our pals at the UK's Daily Mail:
And now cosmetic tycoon Stefan Heidenreich - the new head of Nivea’s parent firm, Beiersdorf - has told German media that the singer should have been considered a 'no go' for the brand’s family image.So Rih is officially FIRED!!!
The 49-year-old said: 'The advert starring Rihanna was a no go. I do not understand how Nivea can be brought into association with Rihanna.'
In one ad, a family is seen moisturising with Nivea while Rihanna’s sultry hit California King Bed plays in the background.
The original video of the song shows the star wearing stockings and lingerie writhing with a man on a bed. Heidenreich added: 'Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability.'
Where one door closes, another will open... But Rih Rih is going to have to consider this problem if she wants to continue to have endorsments... She needs to decide which is more important

Rihanna didnt lose $25m. She got it already from the "up front cash" remember, &she was the face of the 100th year anniversary. That yr was up in about a month anyway if it wasn't already. We all know she doesn't give a couple fxcks about him saying she isnt appropriate enough. She's being her, & she still has fans who appreciates that.
Rihanna is STUPID, plain and simple!! What fool would jeopardise raking in so many millions from an endorsement. I don' t care if she is already rich or living her life. Fact is she won't always be relevant. She is supposed to make the most of it whilst the sun shines. She definitely will never reach Beyonce's level because she is too trashy.
You can take the girl away from the ghetto but, you can't take away the ghetto away from her. AND, she isnt young anymore. She should know better.
Most young people drink, BUT they are not Rihanna!!
They don't have millions running on their image. She could drink and smoke all she wants
Why does the take photos and tweet them. . . STUPID. plain and simple
Its a pity because its clear she has no strong females around her. Her mother is weak. No self respecting mother allows her daughter to call her a ***. They let her behave anyway she likes because she is the one with the money but what they don't realise is that they are doing her no favours.
Her friends and hangers on are stupid too or perhaps don't care. If she were my friend i wouldn't let her behave like this while the whole world and her sponsors are watching.
STUPID STUPID girl!!!!! I bet JayZ washed his hands off this train wreck ages ago.
To think i used to like her, now she disgusts me. Way too much low self esteem.
From Serena Williams crip walking after a win to Rihanna smoking blunts publicly (and other aberrant behavioral displays)....keeping it "hood" does not work. Many lower tier Blacks believe that "keeping it hood" works but there is no evidence that it works. Now a chance for money and advancement is lost in a business that is routinely viewed as extremely fickle. STOP MAKING EXCUSES!! STOP LIVING BY THE "ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME" MANTRA! Everyone is judged! I guess the Aurora Colorado killer should be free because "only God can judge him", right? I don't think so. STOP SUPPORTING NO TALENT MINSTRELS! STOP SUPPORTING BLACK WOMEN WHO WEAR "AFRO-SAXON TOUPEES" AND "CAUCASIAN HAIR HATS." Can we stop highlighting the WORST in entertainment? It appears that there is an industry that BLATANTLY makes money off of Black dysfunctionalism and wretchedness. Reality shows are scripted and are far from reality but they "entertain" at the expense of the Black image. ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Stop by Afronerd Radio dot com where urban alternative music, culture and thought are discussed. We are expecting (finally) hip hop icon, MC Lyte to stop by for an interview to discuss this foolishness & the demise of women in hip hop. Time for respect and enough with the minstrels. Show airs live Wed at 7pm eastern. Live call in number is 646-915-9620!
Well it makes sense you can't be drinking and drugging and then expect to keep make money marketing to families. But now that she knows this she should just go all the way left and solicit to the porn and *** toy industry. Just kidding. Rhi Rhi has to clean it up for her own sake.
lol@ afronerd you said Caucasian hair hats.
this young "lady" is no more than a two bit tramp I'd rather gawk at Kyra Sedgwick who I first took notice of when she played the daughter Ruth in Mr & Mrs Bridge opposite Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward 22 years ago. heres a recent photo of her her Husband Kevin Bacon & Ms Woodward at a charity function [IMG]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j47/siunavez/144464573.jpg[/IMG]
Rihanna is NOT a lady she is classless and ignorant she could do so much better if she would get her head of the f-ing gutter. She is a disappointment to her fans and im glad Jay-Z dropped her.This bytch will never be on Beyonces level and if she continues down this path MTO will be the only ones who still love her considering that they kiss her azz every day
THAT IS A LIE. RIHANNA'S CONTRACT WITH NIVEA ENDED LAST YEAR IN DECEMBER. THE LAST EVENT WAS WITH A CONCERT SHE PUT ON & FANS WON TICKETS THROUGH NIVEA. RIHANNA DIDN'T LOSE MONEY. IN FACT, THE MONEY FROM NIVEA IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PUT HER SO HIGH ON THE FORBES LIST.
WHY THE CHAIRMAN OF NIVEA SPOKE ON RIHANNA AFTER HER YEAR-LONG CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WAS OVER? WHO KNOWS?
MTO STOP LYING, I KNOW THIS IS A GOSSIP SITE, but please present facts
The sad part is rihanna wasn't always like that she was fun but sweet at the same time, now she's crazy, a ***, an over the top party animal and a devil worshipper. Fame comes with a price, and one she won't be the top *** in pop music, so if i was her i would straighten up, get herself together cause she clearly has issues, and make as much money as she can.
Beeetch! Your little navy may love the skank in you but read the small print hunti! "Besmirch the company image" and get your *** fired. Lets see who picks up the all out rebel image, Pink & Solange, even Katy Perry are semi CLEAN rebels and all them hoes got new campaigns. Watch and learn, sometimes its good to keep sometings to yourself.
Rihanna is dirty shes a h03 shes careless untalented a *** and very VERY insecure but MTO you guys love her! and you will kick dowqn every other female to put this *** on top, You...this is why legends like Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Pattie Labelle, Chaka Khan, Madonna laugh at *** like Lady gaga and rihanna who cant get theit act together. she's disgusting. and everyone who loves her is too
The sad part about this is some/many of you who post a comment and/or read this will thinks it's okay for Rihanna's behavior but simply put it's not. NO MATTER how much money you have or make you are still suppose to carry a certain amount of pride & professionalism with you. There is a time & place for everything, but her trying to keep it hood eventually is going to send her back to the hood. When these big *** corporations endorse you very few if any or looking for you to hood it up. Our skin color allows very little room for error both in our personal & business lives. Vivica Fox lost a major endorsement for driving drunk, I could go on but multi-billion dollar empires don't hire you to bring their name/brand down. They want you to bring it up. Young folks I appeal to you stop thinking it's all about the money, it's not. It's all about you and how you conduct yourself. If you're black get back, if you're white you're right. I'll leave you dummies with a perfect example. Bobby Brown, who I am not a fan of. Bobby can't blow his nose in tissue the right way without the media finding fault. Charlie Sheen the most complete nut in Hollywood with multiple issues in both his personal & professional life has a new show about to drop. Despite Charlies behavior he is given multiple opportunities over and over. In addition, the media gives his behavior a pass non-stop. So keep putting ignorance on a pedestal and see how long it last when it comes to just US. See how long ignorance will keep you hot before the corporations that hire you and control the money pull the plug on your A**, just like Rihanna.
I cannot for the life of me understand why the world is so fascinated by this talentless skank from a 3rd world slab of mud in the Caribbean!! She is a terrible singer and even worse actress, as she proved in that disasterous Battleship. Yes, her radio music sounds good (I'll give her that), but that's only because she has good writers, producers and auto tune. Live, she sounds like ***! I don't own a single one of her CDs. I have individual songs that I have illegally downloaded, but I would never pay for her music and put money in her pocket.
Good, give the deal to someone deserving. I'm sure there are other artist that will represent that company well for 25 million. Hell I'd do it for 200,000. They really should start giving these deals to regular every day people who are beautiful because WE are the consumer not these overpaid talentless entertainers. Besides, I'd never buy a product b/c a celebrity endorses it.
SMH PPL ARE CRAZY...SHE'S FROM BARBADOS...THAT'S THEIR LIFESTYLE!! SHE IS NOT AMERICAN AND DOES NOT GAF WHAT OUR AMERICAN CULTURE HAS TO SAY...STOP LISTENING TO HER MUSIC IF YOU DONT LIKE HER!
Seriously, Rihanna is fairly crazy but Nivea doesn't need to bash her after they used her face for a year. Very Unprofessional...I'm saying that Rated R and LOUD CD was all kinds of "un-family oriented" but that didn't stop them from signing her then.
stupid. she gon *** all her money up pretty soon. 5 years from now, i can already picture seeing a vh1 "behind the music" special with her talkin about all her wild antics and explaining how she *** up her career and trying to get back on top. as long as she stays paid, she will be fine..but losing an endorsement like that is not a good look, and it sounds like the beginning of her downfall. hopefully im wrong.
@practical and solovelyme I wish I could hold your heads and bang them together. The 2 of you are complete IDIOTS, please do society a favour and do not procreate.Anyways as for rihanna, I see her tweets and instagram posts are bible verses and what not, when you were makin it rain in the strip club were you thinking about God? were you thinking about bible scriptures? I don't think so...God is seeing everything you do, hopefully u shape up...cause loosing 25mil you a idiat gal...
FCUK THOSE NAZI *** AT NIVEA!!
Don't even know why Rhianna would associate herself with a product, that has stated the natural look of a black man is "uncivilized" and has produced a map of the world which intentionally omits Israel.
Throughout the 2nd World War, Nivea was a "co-operative" Corperation with the Nazis
The word "Nivea" = Snow White in Latin
What fcuking more do you need to know that these *** were never down with blacks in the fcuking first place.Rhianna was a business decision that backfired.
Y'all are crazy Rihanna is no billionaire old money heiress her money isn't guaranteed and is limited! Do u know how many people have to get paid before she sees one dime! She is making money but artist get most of thier money from TOURS and endorsements not singing songs other people wrote produced and edited under a huge lable!
Even Bey wouldn't risk 25 mill just to pop her *** and smoke weed on camera! not that she would she knows how to tread the fine line between sultry and slutty. I dont wish failure on Rhi or anyone but it does serve her right. Maybe now she can get some condum and cognac endorsements!

No ma'am I'm ALL about that ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR so.... Lets get it together Rih. a LITTLE Sass w/ Pizazz=Class not Trash. Do *** up and let Rita take yo spot cuz you tryna be too "HOOD". Cuz these hood girls a fly rite 4 your spot TRUST and believe. You doing the most rite now. Even these rap ninjas ain't being photo'd chief'*** like U. It ain't a good look.
RIHANNA IS *** DUMB!!! I MEAN SHE ALWAYS SCREAMING ABOUT HOW SHE DONT GIVE A *** WHEN SHE PROBABLY DOES!!! EVERYTHING SHE DOES TO ME IS JUST FOR SHOW!!
CAUSE IF THAT WAS REALLY HER PERSONALITY THEN SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ACTING LIKE THAT EVERY SINCE SHE CAME OUT!!! I GUESS SHE REALLY WAS A GOOD GIRL GONE BAD HUH?????
THIS BROKE *** DONT DO *** BUT *** PPL AND TALK *** ALL DAY!!!!! SHE IS NOT GOING TO GO THAT FAR TO ME. HER FANS DONT UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS SIDE TO THINGS... SHE IS STUPID
so they can sponsor her over the top, *** filled concerts that r sellin' out worlwide makin' a killin' on ticket and merchandise sales, but 'cause of her personal time/life doesn't quite fit the cookie cutter image that this company is tryin' 2 portray her now its a problem???? hmmmmm..... i would image that they knew this $hit off the rip that she aint family friendly, they just wanted the hottest face 2 represent their brand. Typical, o well she'll b ok, she probably don't even use that ***$hit 4 real anyways.
I LOVE RIHANNA!!!!!! My2cents: Nivea can go suck a big 1. Like the comment above says, she wasn't a problem when she was selling out sexual performances for concerts right?? Rih BEEN turned over a new leaf since Disturbia. They used her, now that they got what they wanted for a whole year, they wanna throw my *** under the bus. *** $25mil is a lot of $$$, to us regular ppl. To the rich its a lot of $$ too, but just think about it: its "1" endorsement! There are so many more endorsements that she can/will get, that Nivea aint breakin her. That extra sexy hair commercial with J-Lo, u think Rih can't get one of those too?? And for every1 callin her a hoe, where's ur proof besides rumors *** pics that mean nothing. If she takes pics with 100 different men a day, that still doesn't mean she *** them! She IS a CELEBRITY or does that part just go over ya head cuz u don't like her? Where's her *** tape?? Huh I'm done. LOVE U RIHANNA!!
IF THIS IS TRUE, WELL YOU LIVE AND YOU LEARN. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT SINCE SHE IS AN ENTERTAINER THAT SHE IS A ROLE MODEL WHETHER SHE WANTS TO BE OR NOT, THE IMAGE THAT SHE PORTRAY IS HORRIBLE. I HOPE SHE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT HERSELF. MAYBE SHE WILL UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THE NIVEA CEO IS SAYING AND MAKE A CHANGE WITH HER LIFE CAUSE RIGHT NOW SHE IS RECKLESS! IT DEFINITELY WASN'T WORTH LOSING $25M!
