With the viral phenomenon Pokemon Go already dictating people's lives, Rihanna just upped the Anti - by banning the game from her concerts.

During her concert at the weekend, Rihanna wanted fans to take a break from catching them all to enjoy her performance. 

Talking to the crowd during the show, she said: "I don't want to see you texting your boyfriends or your girlfriends.

"I don't want to see you catching any Pokemons up in this bitch."

Rihanna was recently confirmed at this year's Comic-Con to be playing Marion Crane in the fifth season of Bates Motel.

The iconic role was played by Janet Leigh in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic Psycho, so RiRi had better start perfecting her best shower scream.
