Rihanna has called internet rumours that she gave Jay-Z oral sex “disgusting”.

Various unscrupulous sources and chat forums published fabrications that Rihanna had sexual relations with Jay-Z when the label boss first signed her up – something she strenuously denies.

Rihanna tells MTV: “It was like, 'Of course she had to give Jay-Z oral sex to get that deal'. That rumour was everywhere in Barbados and it was so disgusting.”

She continued: “It made me feel really weird. I would even be weird around Jay-Z. I wouldn't be able to look him in the eye.”

The 21-year-old explained that Jay-Z taught her to ignore any such gossip in the press.

“One day, he called and he was like, 'Yo, you can't buy into these rumours. You can't let people move you with anything they say'. The rumours got very funny to me after that,” she added.
