Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas of the popular 90s group, TLC, made an appearance Thursday on Australia’s Sunrise 7 and slammed female artists today who use ‘sex” and nudity to sell their images.
“Every time I see you, you don’t have to be naked,” T-Boz, 44, said of no one in particular, but apparently the interviewer felt she was speaking of Rihanna, who just recently donned a barely there ensemble at the CFDA awards.

T-Boz went on the explain in the interview:
“It’s hard for us to say anything because anytime we do, they say, ‘Oh TLC must be jealous,’ but I call a spade a spade.”
“We became the biggest girl selling group of all time with our clothes on and that says a lot,” she added.

The interview apparently struck a nerve with Rihanna, who blasted the iconic girl group via twitter last night.

Watch video of TLC’s interview + Rihanna’s response below…
In response to TLC’s criticism that Rihanna appears nude too often, the songstress changed her Twitter header image to a topless photo of TLC.

Rihanna’s response was apparently to prove that the “No Scrubs” singers had also stripped down at one point in time.
RihRIh also added a little shade of her own, stating:
“When there’s no changing the fact that I’m me, and they’re well…they’re them,” she tweeted with a pic of herself sticking her tongue out.

Whatever the case, Rihanna has since deleted her twitter roast and life goes on. In the meantime, Rihanna is still a ‘style icon’ and TLC is continuing to renew their music career with sold out performances in Australia.
