RIHANNA is leading a backlash against global gaming phenomenon Pokemon as a Beyonce fan is slammed for “catching” the cartoon characters while standing metres away from Bey.

Rihanna cheekily told fans not to play the location-based augmented reality game during her concert in Lille, France.

“I don’t want to see you catching any Pokemons up in this b ...,” Rihanna told the crowd.

It came as a Beyonce fan was slammed for playing Pokemon GO during one of Bey’s concerts — while standing only metres away from the stage.

“This b ... is finding Pokémon ... when Beyoncé’s singing! F ... ng Pokémon. Look at where she is ... she’s next to the stage,” a fellow concertgoer said, in a video posted to his Instagram account.

In the video, the Formation singer, 34, seems oblivious that one of her “Beyhive” is otherwise occupied with the game, strutting past them as she performs her song Me, Myself and I at Stade de France.

His video has been viewed more than 35,000 times.

The record-breaking Pokemon GO game has reportedly generated more than $12 billion worth of market value for owner Nintendo since it launched on July 6.

It has been downloaded by 75 million users worldwide, tech site venturebeat.com reports, citing stats from Sensor Tower.

Sounds like Rihanna isn’t one of them though.
