Rihanna was shopping at a supermarket when a fan approached her to ask for a photo.
Robyn is living with cancer and, while they posed together, she confessed to the singer that she felt terrible because she wasn’t wearing the wig she usually wears that day. Rihanna didn’t let the comment go: “You don’t look terrible”, she replied immediately.
The fan even pulled out a photo of what she looks like with her wig, but the singer once again praised her natural appearance and told her she loved her hairline. Then she was even more direct: she asked her not to talk about herself that way again and assured her: “You’re fire just like that”. When Robyn asked if she could quote her, Rihanna said yes, “verbatim” 🤍
The moment was recorded by Jason Lee for his segment Grocery Shopping With Rihanna and sparked a wave of reactions to the singer’s supportive message.
