Following news of their break up, Hassan Jameel has enlisted his lawyers to do a final scrubbing of any untoward images of himself and Rihanna that may be still lingering on the internet. According to Black Sports Online founder Robert Littal, he received a stern letter on Tuesday (January 21, 2020) from a representative for Jameel who demanded he take down images of the couple posted on his site in 2017.
On Twitter, Littal wrote, “Rihanna’s billionaire ex just hit me with a request to take down a pic of him and Riri that has been up since 2017. A whole three years, I don’t think he is taking the breakup well.”
When asked for details on the request, he added, “It was more of a threat than a request lol. I am not getting in legalish with a billionaire, got to know when to pick your battles.”

While Littal didn’t specify which images he received the take down notice for, it’s long been rumored that Jameel bought the rights to the June 2017 images showing Rihanna and Jameel passionately kissing in a pool in Ibiza, Spain.
The steamy images are long gone from prominent gossip sites including the Daily Mail, which broke the news of their relationship with the images. As such, we’re betting BSO was one of the final sites with an active team still opening its emails. One blog that still features the images is a Rihanna fan site that hasn’t been updated since April 2018.
