Rihanna is not a happy camper. During her performance before the NCAA March Madness Final Four in Indianapolis on Saturday, the wild singer stopped mid song to voice her discontent over Indiana's new Religious Freedom Restoration Act laws.
The singer debuted a new track "American Oxygen" to an enraptured audience at Indianapolis' White River State Park and during the diddy paused to address the controversial new law that allows businesses to discriminate based on sexual orientation.
Rihanna said, "Who's feeling these new bulls--t laws that they're trying to pass over here? I say f--k that s--t. I wanna hear you say, 'F--k that s--t' cause we're just living our motherf--king lives. Indiana!"Â
The Grammy-winning artist then sang "Live Your Life," her 2008 hit with T.I.Â
Many celebs, including Miley Cyrus, Seth MacFarlane, Ellen DeGeneres and Mark Ruffalo, have been outspoken about their disapproval of the law, which the Indiana governor Mike Pence has since amended to make clear that the law could not be used by businesses to discriminate against patrons on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity, reports MSNBC.
We are happy that even though Riri traveled to Indiana -- she used the opportunity to express her distaste for the homophobic laws. Way to go, Bad Gal!
