Can’t be based on looks since Tinashe is better looking. can’t be based on talent since Tinashe makes better music. So what is it? My theory is label investment. If Tinashe has the roc soldiers behind her she would be rihanna level rn.

Tinashe needs the pierre bourne co sign

Tinashe is better looking? Tinashe makes better music?

Tinashe is definitely better looking

G O A T

Rihanna has radio hits spanning the last two decades thats probably why

Tinashe has been successful since she was like 8 years old.

easier to control. Rihanna does what the ppl tell her to do, and tinashe desires independence

Consumer appeal.

She may very well have better music than Rhianna, but why should I care if she does since A) I'm outside of her core demographic B)She may be better looking, but she doesn't have that Rhianna appeal, which can mostly be attributed to the labels, but in an era where you can build a movement without the help of labels, there's no excuse.

It’s the performances and her whole art direction.

People saying Tinashe looks better than Rihanna

WHAT?

She came out around 2014 though which was still around when labels controlled s***. She has a smash hit with 2on. Now imagine if she was a roc nation product they would have been able to mold her into what they did with Rihanna—the whole good girl turned bad b**** treatment. And she’d be a mega star by now.

Rihanna is the Queen of pop smh

Am I the only one that doesn’t find tinashe attractive

she look like a mouse

people string up as many reasons as possible in threads like these, but it really comes down to luck and opportunity

B**** looks like Gollum with makeup and a weave on
