Rihanna took some recently to clarify some remarks she made during a Radio One interview where she called Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Lady Gaga’s music “generic”.

Rihanna stated that “Katy is my friend! I would never diss her. I don’t see her as my rival. My only rival is myself, because I always wanna get better and better. I meant all the producers, that give singers like Katy, GaGa or Ke$ha always the same kind of pop-songs. They think, for sure one of them will take it and make it a single. They don’t realize that everyone of us has their own style. I love Katy’s music! That’s why I wanna make a duet with her. We’re already working on it.”
