Rihanna's friends and family have expressed concerns that her wild lifetsyle will see her throw away her talent and career in the same way her idol Whitney Houston did.
The 'Talk That Talk' star has been linked to a role playing Whitney on the big screen in a biopic of her life but those closest to her are worried that Rihanna is taking a method approach to any potential role with pictures which looked like the star using some sort of white powder emerging online this week.
Speaking to The Sun, Rihanna's Father Ronald said: "I hope she will be smart enough not to go down that path. I think she is smart enough not to.” Adding: “She used to love Whitney. Robyn would always sing along to I Will Always Love You."
Meanwhile, Whitney's friend Malik Pointer said: “Rihanna is basically Whitney 2.0. That kind of talent only comes around every 20 years or so"
Adding: “Rihanna is a wild child. She has the voice of an angel but she can get down and dirty. But she has youth on her side. There’s a chance she’s just getting it out of her system and she’ll find the right guy and settle down by the time she’s 30.”
