@BlackBoyMiah: said 'Lmao, there's no legit proof Rihanna is doing coke rn, everyone's being extra rn,' ‏@OutOfLeftField_ wrote: 'Rihanna was caught on video snorting coke. Could've been worse. She could've been caught on video singing,' while @AllPinkSparkle mused: 'Lmao to people who think Rihanna doing coke would lessen the love. Mi love har same weh.
@officiALLIE__me put forward another theory, saying: 'Am I the only one that doesn't think Rihanna was sniffing coke....? It looks like she was rolling a blunt to me,' while @MONAMAKAVELI said: 'that video of rihanna doing coke. she lit.'

And @yovabundra worried about how young people would react, writing: Rihanna does coke which isn't surprising since celebrity but Rihanna doing coke is gonna make a whole lot of stupid kids think coke is cool.'
This is not the first time Rihanna has found herself mired in controversy at Coachella.

In 2012 she found herself at the centre of a new scandal after posting a picture of herself 'cutting up' a white powered substance on the top of a man's head.

The singer posted the picture on photo-sharing website Instagram from her time at the music festival.
The image, which saw Rihanna - real name Robyn Fenty - on the shoulders of a mystery man, was accompanied by the caption 'Memories don't live like people do #coachella'.

Rihanna posted two pictures of herself on the shoulders of the man, with another close-up shot of the substance on his head.

Fans posted over 1000 comments on the snaps, claiming that the star 'rolled a blunt on that dude's head', referring to marijuana, but others questioned if the substance was cocaine.
