Rihanna was supposed to have one of her songs – “Run This Town” with Jay Z – run during last week’s broadcast of Thursday Night Football, but the NFL pulled the segment that featured the track because of the ongoing domestic abuse issues across the league. As you probably know already, Rihanna is a domestic abuse victim herself, so it’s understandable that she was not pleased with how things went down.
Here’s what she had to say on Twitter after the NFL offered to play the segment this week:
CBS you pulled my song last week, now you wanna slide it back in this Thursday? NO, Fuck you! Y'all are sad for penalizing me for this.

The audacity…

The NFL did, however, axe a few other segments during Thursday’s broadcast as well, stating that they “needed to have the appropriate tone and coverage” to properly address the current state of the league.
We’ll see if RiRi and the league can hash out their disagreement in time for the segment to air this week.
