Well according to L.A Reid’s upcoming memoir ,Beyonce was part of the reason Rihanna is a big star today. I know right?! Who knew. The music executive revealed in his memoir ‘Sing to Me: My Story of Making Music, Finding Magic, and Searching for Who’s Next’ that he had doubt about Rihanna’s talent and thought Teairra Mari who was signed at the same time with her would be the bigger star. He said;

“I first laid eyes on her in the hallway. I didn’t know she was a singer or anything, just a pretty girl standing outside somebody’s office”
 “At the label, we thought Teairra Mari would be the big star,” Reid recounted. “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.”
 “Beyoncé came up to me,” “‘That Rihanna girl,’ she said, ‘she’s a beast.’”
