Rihanna is setting the record straight after fans blasted her and accused her of snorting cocaine at Coachella in a viral Vine video that began making its rounds online on Tuesday.
The clip showed several friends dancing with Rihanna in the background, holding a thin white object and then squeezing her nose for a few seconds at the music festival held in Indio, California.

The controversial video was reportedly uploaded by fly.xhuksta on Instagram and has since been taken down-but not before the 27-year old Barbados beauty reportedly wrote this retort:
"N***a your lame ass got some f*****g nerve! Any fool could see that is a joint I'm basing with a cigarette!" Then asked, "Who snorts tobacco?!" The "Diamonds" singer then continued to accuse the poster of not knowing what it's like to be in a "rodeo" before, before sarcastically saying that somebody who squeezes their nose automatically means that they are doing cocaine.
The singer, who calls herself "bad gal," then shared a video of her and her friend on Instagram, which showed her in the same setting as the Vine video and in which she appeared to be doing what exactly she said she was doing-rolling a cigarette.
She posted another photo of her drinking Coca-Cola, in what seemed to be a reference to the damaging rumor, and captioned it "#petty."
This isn't the first time that Rihanna has found herself in the middle of a controversy in Coachella. Back in 2012, she became a center of a scandal when she posted a photo of herself "cutting up," what appeared to be a white powdered substance on top of a man's head. She posted two photos, one which showed her being carried by the man on his shoulders and another which showed a close-up shot of the substance.
At the time, some fans said that Rihanna was simply rolling a blunt, while some wondered if it was actually cocaine.
