A woman-at-arms take! Rihanna's most unknown curiosities
Barbados' best-known artist has a few secrets, many of them outrageous
She is the most popular woman in Barbados. Singer, dancer, model, businesswoman ... Rihanna is a celebrity who can't resist anything. She is a source of inspiration who is known throughout the world thanks to great hits such as Diamonds, Rude Boy or Work, among many others that have been danced by people from all countries over and over again, reaching number one. from the charts all over the world. Of course, there are many aspects of her public life that are known, her successes, her jobs, new projects or the most remarkable looks of her. But the artist is a mystery in many aspects of her life and she accumulates some experiences that, at least, are capable of causing surprise. A peculiar and strong personality, formed on the basis of particular experiences. Do you think you know everything about Rihanna?
It is not a secret that it comes from Barbados. The curious thing about this is not her origin, but the devotion they feel in her homeland for the singer who has carried her name internationally. So much so that, on February 22, National Rihanna Day is celebrated in Barbados. In addition, the artist can also boast of having her own street: Rihanna Drive. A true national pride!
On the other hand, Rihanna has won the affection of her countrymen beyond the artistic due to the large amount of social work that she carries out in her country. Among all her acts of solidarity, the creation of a center for Nuclear Medicine and Oncology specialized in breast cancer stands out.
She admires many great music divas such as Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey, but the artist herself assures that none of them means the same to her as Madonna. And it is that the queen of pop is her great role model and she has confessed on more than one occasion that her greatest aspiration is to become the "black Madonna".
Rihanna enjoys many recognitions, but beyond all the awards around the world of music, there are two of them that few are aware of. In 2012 Forbes named the interpreter of Don´t Stop the Music the honor of being the greatest influencer in the world, at least in that year. The second, somewhat more unexpected, was obtained from Harvard University: "Most supportive character of 2017".
Her worldwide fame is due in large part to Umbrella, a song originally composed for Britney Spears. And as an anecdotal fact: the singer had to prohibit the entrance with an umbrella to her shows, since the accidents of fans who tried to imitate her mythical choreography with this accessory multiplied during the concerts.
Barbados' most popular woman loves junk food and before her concerts her dressing room is filled with pizza and donuts. However, she is not a fan of the oriental or the Mexican. Plus, it's more than a rumor that Rihanna has a strong character. She perhaps influenced this that when she was young she was an army cadet in a sub-military program in her native country. A girl of arms take!
The singer has also done more than just steps in the world of acting. Her best known film to date is Ocean's Eight, but she is not the only one! Battleship or Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets are also among a list of multiple appearances and cameos.
Lastly, perhaps Rihanna's best-known, but no less important side: fashion. She has her own makeup and underwear line, which caused a stir for her support of the body positive movement. Rihanna is passionate about the world of fashion in all facets of it and she has worked numerous times as a model for firms such as Armani or Balmain. As a curiosity, Manolo Blahnik personally makes custom shoes for Rihanna.
