Yesterday (13/4/14) Rihanna appeared alongside Eminem at the MTV Movie
Awards to perform his song "The Monster." This was the performance that
was announced last Tuesday (8/4/14) in an effort to put the US at the
centre of discussions about the third section of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) fifth assessment report by making it
appear as though the US were holding onto some great secret. The secret
in question was whether Rihanna would save herself by teaming up with
Eminem and by extension me or continue to allow Drake to destroy her.
The problem is that everyone in the business already knows that
Rihanna's 'relationship' with Drake is orchestrated and pre-determined
so there isn't any room for speculation until Drake is removed from the
equation.
Needless to say the US got short shrift for this little stunt with the
United Nations Security Council (UNSC) convening for an emergency
session on Ukraine just as the MTV Movie Awards were beginning. The
message seemed to be threefold. Firstly the UNSC was showing that it was
in no way concerned by the US' Rihanna operation. Secondly it was
mocking the US' plan that I would stay up all night in the hope of
catching a glimpse of Rihanna by providing me with another and probably
much better reason to stay up. Finally it was laying out the
consequences of the US' actions in front of them because the situation
in Ukraine is most certainly not improving and is unlikely to do so
until the US adjusts it's attitude.
