Although Rihanna lost out last night at World Music Awards, she performed her hit, "Unfaithful." Rihanna also let the media know there is NO bad feelings for Beyonce and Jay-Z: ""I was just on tour with Jay Z and [Beyonce] came along...we saw each other almost every night. She was a very big influence to me since I was a little girl."

No doubt this quote is only ignited a bigger flame now. I personally don't think anything went down between Rihanna and Jay-Z---it's all about timing and publicity! For all we know "Ring the Alarm" and "Lost Ones" could be about Beyonce and Jay-Z's love lives before they hook up!
