Rihanna Officially Quits Instagram?
Rihanna is putting an end to the speculation and letting the world know that she quit Instagram.
Earlier this month, the 26-year-old singer received a public apology from the photograph sharing website.
"This account was mistakenly caught in one of our automated systems and very briefly disabled," a statement from Instagram obtained by Daily Mail reads. "We apologize for any inconvenience."
After Rihanna decided to pose for Liu, the French adult entertainment magazine for men, she spoke out when the images were banned from Instagram. Rihanna, the singer from Barbados, posed topless and bottomless in a few images for the magazine which she attempted to post on Instagram. While the photograph-sharing website insists that her page was never taken down, but merely blocked for a few days following a racy photograph posted from Liu magazine, Rihanna is letting it be known that she has officially decided not to reinstate her account for the photograph sharing website.
"Let's be clear, I do NOT have an IG account," Rihanna tweeted while calling out an imposter for creating a page in her name.
The singer seemed proud of the work she did with Liu, taking to Twitter to promote it. However when Instagram would not allow her to post the partially nude photographs, Rihanna spoke out about it.
"My new Cover..... Go to TWITTER to see it! #LUI," she previously wrote on Instagram, showcasing a close up of the cover and cutting out any nudity.
Rihanna also posted another image of her face which looks to be superimposed onto the body of another woman with a conservative outfit on.
"Rih's next magazine cover if it was up to Instagram," the image reads which the singer captioned.
Instagram has been known to ban racy images in the past, including that of model and "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star Kendall Jenner.
Jenner's risque Marc Jacobs runway appearance during New York City Fashion week was officially banned from Instagram last February. After Jenner, 18, strutted down the Marc Jacobs runway with her top half exposed amid backlash, Instagram removed the image from the photograph sharing app.
