Don't mess with Rihanna!

Hey, we like that she's cool enough to joke (kinda) about that idiot writer at BarstoolSports who fat-shamed Rihanna a week ago, headlining a story, "Is Rihanna Going to Make Being Fat the Hot New Trend?" The author, Chris Sprags, wrote that Rihanna has been "enjoying room service bit too long” and that she’s going to inspire women to "look like the humans in Wall-E."

RiRi clapped back by posting this Gucci Mane meme on Twitter, that reads, "If you can’t handle me at my 2007 Gucci Mane, you don’t deserve me at my 2017 Gucci Mane."

Cute -- but despite all the backlash Barstool has received, the editor still didn't fire Sprags, though he was suspended without pay. Why? Because his piece wasn't funny enough, founder David Portnoy says. In a statement, he defended his decision to keep Sprags on staff, despite the piece being a little weak: "To be honest I don’t think the blog was as bad as many are making it out to be, but I’ll tell you this. It wasn’t that funny either and I could have told you with absolute certainty that feminists would hate it and use it as an example of ‘there goes Barstool being Barstool again.' 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 f--k and you better make it bullet proof."

Daaaang!
