Rihanna, J.R. Smith Fight: NBA Athlete Attacks Singer After 'Desert' Tweet, Knicks Win Playoff Game After Twitter Beef

J.R. Smith commented about Rihanna attacks after she lashed out on a Knicks fan who he blamed her for J.R. Smith struggle on the court during the Knicks/Pacers playoff series.

The Knicks player told ESPN New York sportswriter Ian Begley, "I'm not worried about Instagram, I'm worried about the playoffs!"

Knicks fan, @peruvian_gawd called out the singer on her own Instagram page after pictures of JR Smith were posted online at a New York nightclub after Rihanna's performance in Brooklyn. The Barbadian singer wasted no time and replied to the Knicks fan with profanity and insults, "@peruvian_gawd "Fu*k you and your wack ass team!! Nobody don't want that desert thirsty N*gga!! He Fu*kin up cus his ass be hungover from clubbing every night during playoffs!! So your issue ain't with rasshole me."

Rihanna was rumored to have had a brief relationship with the athlete, but she made it clear in the Instagram rant that she has no friendly connection with him and threw him under the bus when she blurted that his constant party lifestyle is what is costing him the game.

On the other hand the Knicks won their game last night against the Indiana Pacers and maybe Rihanna's lashings were his motivation.
