According to Pitchfork, Rihanna addressed the crowd during her concert in France Saturday night about cellphone usage. It’s unclear if Rihanna actually saw anyone texting or playing Pokémon Go, but she directly called out the game, along with other things that might take the crowd out of the concert experience.

Naturally, at least one person caught the announcement on their phone.

“I don’t want to see you texting your boyfriends or your girlfriends,” she said. “I don’t want to see you catching any Pokémons [sic] up in this bitch.”
