Rihanna to People Who Disliked Her Election-Fraud Joke: ‘Shut Up Karen’

Rihanna responded to critics who didn't like her election fraud joke, telling them to "shut up."

The overlay text read, “POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #votecauseicant.” In the caption of the video, she added, “When protecting pussies and firing pussies can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason.” No one believes Rihanna would or could actually commit voter fraud, but that didn’t stop plenty of commenters, especially those who support Trump, from being up in arms over the suggestion that a foreign billionaire would ever try. “Shut up Karen,” she wrote in response to one IG user telling her that “illegal voting is a crime.” “When yall stop burning ballot boxes come check me,” she told another. Recently, artists like Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Christina Aguilera have been appearing at Harris’ rallies across the country to encourage those in swing states to vote blue.
