    It's probably a feature, and here's why:
    Throughout the early half of the verse, the point of view is clearly male:
    "Side b---- about to let wifey know"
    "I'll f--- a b----, go and find another b----, and I'll never trust a b----"
    etc.
    Than, he gets to the part where he says:
    "What you b------s fighting for?"
    that's where he transfers to the female perspective, poking fun at them, in a exponentially more whiney tone:
    "I can't even"
    "I heard you f----- that n----- well I f----- that n----- too
    and he probably didn't tell you that's what sucka n----s do
    and if he hadn't texted me he woulda never f----- with you"
    He's talking from the female perspective about himself, if you recall the "Side b---- about to let wifey know" the whole verse is about his desirability and managing a side hoe.

    did you not read above. It's clearly not. The only reason he said "I heard you f----- that n----- while I f----- that n----- too" is because he was telling it from the two woman who are fighting's perspectives.

    It's probably just a feature for Rihanna's album

    OP's theory actually makes a lot of sense.
    I honestly thought the "new rihanna in the front" meant FourFiveSeconds and I completely agree on the track and how it SWITCHES into a female perspective

    It makes sense, both Kendrick and J. Cole have done this Sing About Me I'm Dying of Thirst and Lost Ones. It worked well on those songs though because the subject matter was serious and emotional, here it's superficial which makes it kinda wack. If it woulda been more like Bittersweet's female perspective which also had emotion that would've been dope.

    This is just Rihanna's style now. Word is the girl talking at the end of the song is the 20 year old girl that wrote BBHMM. If so, it's likely she wrote this song too since the writing style is extremely similar.

    Also: (lyrics from BBHMM)
