Rihanna denies rivalry with Beyonce

Rihanna has insisted that she does not regard Beyonce Knowles as a music rival.

Recent reports have claimed that the 'Umbrella' singer has become Beyonce's "enemy". The rumours began after she was accused of making a move on Knowles' boyfriend Jay-Z.

However, Rihanna has revealed that she is a big fan of the former Destiny's Child star, and especially enjoyed her most recent album, BDay.

"She's definitely not the enemy, it's not a competition. I love her, I love her so much," Rihanna told WENN. "I've bought that album three times - because my friends keep stealing it from me."
