Rihanna has hit back
at body shamers in the most hilarious way possible. The Works hitmaker took to
social media on Monday 5 June, to share a meme about Gucci Mane to clap back at
fat shaming trolls.
The meme the 29-year-old RiRi shared
features two photos of Mane that shows the Bricks rapper in two different
weights. In the 2007 photo, Mane looks out of shape compared to his recent
image.
"If you can't
handle me at my 2007
Gucci Mane, you don't deserve me at my 2017 Gucci Mane", the meme reads. The post has also been tagged with a sad crying face emoji.

The Barbadian singer's
post comes after being body shamed by former Barstool Sports writer, Chris
"Spags" Spagnuolo, in an article titled: "Is Rihanna Going To
Make Being Fat the Hot New Trend?"
In
the 350-word story, Spagnuolo called Rihanna "fat" and said that the
Umbrella singer "looked like she was wearing a sumo suit". The
article was removed from Barstool's website after it was heavily criticised on
social media. Four days ago, Spagnuolo was suspended from his position as a
writer.
After
facing backlash on social media, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy issued a
statement, wherein he said that if he or one of his other bloggers had written
the piece, he would "defend it to the death".
"There
are just certain topics that you better nail if you're gonna write about them
because you know they are hot button issues for us. So if you're gonna blog
about Rihanna gaining weight you better be funny as fuck and you better make it
bullet proof," he said.
