Things just are not going well for Snapchat these days. First, after the update, Kylie Jenner bashed the app, which caused many fans to stop using it altogether. Now, Rihanna is shouting out the once super popular app, and not in a good way!
Watch the video to see what she had to say!
It all started when this ad popped up on Snapchat, and it had fans scratching their heads. It asked fans if they would rather slap Rihanna or punch Chris Brown, and of course it was in reference to his horrible attack against his then-girlfriend back in 2009.
Though Snapchat apologized and pulled the ad on Monday, saying in a statement, “The advert was reviewed and approved in error, as it violates our advertising guidelines," Rihanna was not having it.
She posted a message on Instagram, which read, in part, "Now SNAPCHAT I know you already know you ain’t my fav app out there! But I’m just trying to figure out what was with this mess! I’d love to call it ignorance, but I know you ain’t that dumb! You spent money to animate something that would intentionally bring shame to DV victims and made a joke of it!!!”

She ended the message saying, “Throw the whole app-oligy away.”
Chris has yet to comment on the incident, and this certainly is not good for Snapchat, as the Navy is already tweeting about how they are deleting the app.
What are your thoughts on Rihanna's take on the ad? Was Snapchat wrong? Let us know in the comments section.
