Rihanna is all in for voting, even if she has to cheer from the sidelines. On Monday, November 4, the 36-year-old Barbadian superstar posted a cheeky Instagram Reel from her car, making light of her voting dilemma. "POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son's passport #VoteCauseICant," she wrote over a clip of herself gazing out the window.
Born in Barbados, Rihanna — whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty — never changed her citizenship when she moved to the United States in 2005. So, while her two sons, RZA, 2, and Riot, 14 months, whom she shares with boyfriend A$AP Rocky (born Rakim Athelaston Mayers), are U.S.
citizens, she isn't eligible to vote. "When protecting p****** and firing p****** can happen all in one vote," the Fenty Beauty founder captioned her post with hashtags #VoteCauseICant and #TanSuitSeason, seemingly referring to Vice President Kamala Harris 's current presidential campaign and the famous tan suits worn by President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama . A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) After Rihanna took to social media with her words of wisdom, it didn't take long for fans and followers to enter the chat.
"LMFAOOOOOOOO ily 😂😂😂😂," chuckled one person. "Get this woman an honorary citizenship!!" exclaimed another "YA'LL HEARD MOTHER 💃🏽🗳️🖤," a third fan rallied. "I voted for a new album," another quipped.
This isn't the first time the "Diamonds" singer has used her platform to encourage her followe.
