Rihanna has hit back at a journalist after they wrote an article claiming that the singer is a bad role model.

Journalist Liz Jones wrote the article which was published in The Daily Mail and criticized Rihanna for everything from her skimpy outfits to her very public support of marijuana.

Rihanna responded by posting an unflattering image of the journalist on Instagram and making clear the point that she never claimed she was a positive role model.

"I don't pretend that I'm like you, i just live... My life!! And I don't know why y'all still act so surprised by any of it!! "Role Model" is not a position or title that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat! I got my own f**ked up sh*t to work on, I'll never portray that as perfect, but for right now it's ME!! Call it what ya want!! Toxic was cute, Poisonous Pop Princess had a nice ring to it, just a lil wordy! And P.S. my first American Vogue cover was in 2011...APRIL!!! #ElizabethAnnJones," she wrote on the site.

Rihanna made a point of emphasising the fact that Jones incorrectly stated that her first American Vogue cover was in November last year and went on to say: "LOL!!!! My money got a bad habit of p**sing people off!! If you sincerely wanna help little girls more than their own parents do, here's a toxic tip: don't be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter!"

Rihanna is currently in the middle of her Diamonds World Tour.
