Limited without Rihanna? He became limited because of the situation with her. He was set for pure superstardom up until then after his first two albums. The Rihanna situation caused a lot of [deserving] negativity around him while trying to push singles for his 3rd album, along with a bunch of stores not even wanting to carry his album. He was the wholesome dude with a street edge before then that everybody was naturally flocking to. Since then, even though he's still been very successful, he's spent a lot of time [failing] to repair his image. "Deuces" was the first step in doing that. His situation with Rihanna pretty much capped his career, regardless of the success he still has. I will say that without that happening, he more than likely would have delayed something like that. Maybe instead of by 3rd album, some career-changing moment would have happened by his 5th or 6th album.
