Happy Birthday Rihanna
Rihanna turns 21 Friday (February 20), but the big birthday party that had been in the works was canceled due to her alleged assault by her boyfriend Chris Brown.
Having to cancel plans to celebrate any birthday is disappointing, but calling off the events for a milestone occasion is worse.
It is even sadder that the photo taken of her after the tragic February 8 incident was leaked on the eve of her special day.
Hopefully, Rihanna is spending her birthday with loved ones and is able to take some time to reflect on her life.
We know that with the support of her family and friends, she will be able to pull through this ordeal and even have the strength to encourage victims of domestic violence to persevere.
Get well soon Rihanna. You've just turned 21. Your career is just getting started.

Ugh. I was I could strangle Mini Bobby Brown, I really do.
She has an opportunity now show young women that this is unacceptable to be treated this way by your loved one.. and it doesnt matter if your young old rich or poor noone deserves to be hit and mistreated... and it happen so often expecailly ..to young people who are scared to speak out

As far as chris..yeah he messed up Royally..but his music will live on..I hope he learns that loves isnt suppose to hurt like this regardless of what she did or didnt do..you dont treat someone you love like that......and he should face some type of punishment for putting her through this..and for the world to see..i mean she is just 21 she should be Just "livin her life"...not fighting for it..
