"You ask me now, and yes, we are both black but it’s not the same music." says Dobson. "Is Rihanna rock and roll? I don’t know. I mean I think that term is used really loosely. She might have some guitars on her thing but what is that? It doesn’t make it the same music."
"She is supposedly a fan of mine." Dobson replies after Honey question her as to whether Hihanna has bitten her signature style. "I try to take it as a compliment. It gets a little much when she starts getting the same tattoos as me but overall I just want people to separate the image and listen to the music. It’s about the music. Its like Prince and Michael Jackson, totally different artists. Or its like Kanye Westand Jay-Z. So what? They are both black men, they sound different. So they both wear jeans, they are different. "
Fefe also addressed the issue of Jordin Sparks re-recording one of her songs "Don't Let It Go To You Head" for her sophomore album "Battlefield".
"She [Jordin] said really nice things about me to MTV. It was really sweet. It was nice she did more of an urban, R&B version of it. It wasn’t like a rock version or anything. It was a completely different version so I was like ‘OK cool’. She wasn’t trying to carbon copy me."
