Rihanna tweeted a new tattoo with the inscription ‘Thug Life’ across her knuckles! If you’re too new school, the term ‘Thug Life’ was inspired by the late California rapper 2pac, real name, Tupac Shakur.Let the questions begin about her sanity and her duty as a role model. Upon first glance the choice of words and placement of the tattoo seems highly irresponsible for a pop star of her caliber – and it may be! Unknown to many there is a deeper meaning, at least in Tupac’s mind about the definition of the word: “Thug Life is the opposite of someone having all he needs to succeed. Thug life is when you have nothing, and succeed, when you have overcome all obstacles to reach your aim.” Tupac also died after being shot four times in 1996 at the age of 25.
With the information available about the ‘Man Down’ singer it doesn’t appear that her upbringing was filled with many obstacles. She was a bright student in school, recruited by Jay-Z at the age of 16 and has worked her butt off to reach her superstar status.
Somewhere there is still hope that the tweets are to garner a reaction and maybe the tattoo is for a video treatment…..hopefully.
