Rihanna didn't get mad, she got even after the TLC singers complained about her nearly nude appearance at the CFDAs.
The
26-year-old Diamonds singer responded by posting a topless photo of the
R&B duo and using it as her Twitter background on Thursday.
The
photo shows Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins, 44, and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas,
43, smiling at the camera while barely covering their breasts with their
hands.
Sweet revenge: Rihanna responded to TLC's diss
on Thursday by tweeting a photo of her sticking her tongue out and the
message: 'there's no changing the fact that I'm me, and they're... them'
Rihanna
twisted the knife in further by writing: 'When there's no changing the
fact that I'm me, and they're well...they're them,' alongside a photo of
her making a funny face and sticking her tongue out.
It
goes to show that Rihanna wasn't going to take their diss lying down
after they spoke against her use of sex and her body to sell music on
Australia's No. 1 morning show.
Appearing on Channel 7's Sunrise on Friday morning ahead of their sold out Sydney gig, T-Boz and Chilli had a clear message for the Rude Boy singer.
'Every time I see you you don't have to be naked,' T-Boz said.
Who's naked now: The Diamonds singer also posted
a naked picture of Chilli and T-box barely covering their chests as her
Twitter background

The
duo, who are currently touring Australia said using sex and being naked
is the easy way to get to the top in the music industry.
'It's easy to sell sex,' the duo, who have five Grammy and MTV awards under their belts, said.
'It's
hard for us to say anything because any time we do, they say, 'Oh TLC
must be jealous', but I call a spade a spade,' T-Boz added.
'We became the biggest girl selling group of all time with our clothes on and that says a lot,' Chilli chimed in.
'We
could go around too with booby cakes [breasts] out all day long,' she
said referring to Rihanna's choice of see-through dress for Monday's
Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards.
She
left virtual nothing to the imagination showing off her bare breasts
and just a nude thong to hide the rest of her modesty in the risqué gown
created by designer Adam Selman.

Slamming Rihanna: 'We became the biggest girl selling group of all time with our clothes on and that says a lot,' Chilli said
The all girl group have had their fair share of hardships though their years in the entertainment business.
In 2002, the most flamboyant and outspoken member of the multiplatinum trio Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes was killed in a car crash.
'The
three of us had chemistry, now it's two and we have crazy chemistry.
The fans also keep us going because they love us so much,' the singers
added.
Three become two: The all girl group officially
called it quits in 2002 following the tragic death of bandmate Lisa
'Left Eye' Lopes but have since reformed to tour Australia
Despite
officially calling it quits in 2002 following her tragic death, T-Boz
and Chilli Thomas reformed for a series of concerts in 2009 which marked
the 20th anniversary of their hit single Waterfalls.
Now they are doing a national tour of Australia and are not modest about their successes to date.
'TLC
is my favourite girl group, even though I'm in the group. I love our
group. I love what we stand for,' Chilli said giving a dig to current
girl groups.
'The
blessing out of all of this is that we are able to sustain and that's
the hard thing to do in this business is to have longevity,' she added.
'It's almost 22 years that we've been in the business'.
Good chemistry: TLC say their success is because they 'have crazy chemistry'
