La historia que cuenta @Dardi no fue tan divertida en realidat: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/magazine-feature/6836012/la-reid-on-meeting-rihanna-for-first-time-jay-z-beyonce
The funny thing about Rihanna's success was that we signed two girls at that time -- Rihanna and a lovely young lady named Teairra Mari. We had an in-house company showcase and Beyoncé happened to be there with Jay Z. Teairra Mari, Rihanna, a four-girl group called Black Butterfly and Ne-Yo performed. At the label, we thought Teairra Mari would be the big star. We spent more time on her, did more work on her, paid more attention to her. Rihanna already had a hit with "Pon De Replay," but we still thought it was the other girl. A bell went off for me, however, when, after the showcase, Beyoncé came up to me.
"That Rihanna girl," she said, "she's a beast."
Beyoncé guapa, reina y visionaria.
