Rihanna is far from the only girl in the world — so why did she, of all people, become the face of what men prefer when it comes to “bad” photos of their girlfriends in a post on Instagram? That’s what she’d like to know.
In a hilarious exchange on Instagram on Saturday (Nov. 22), the mogul replied to a FemBase post claiming that men are more drawn to “candid or ‘imperfect’ photos” of their partners, favoring “natural expressions or unfiltered moments” that strengthen “feelings of closeness and affection.” The statement was paired with an unflattering picture of a younger Ri, who is caught making a derpy expression from a low angle.
In the comments, the singer replied, “How I catch this stray tho?”
Fans who came across her comment were in stitches over Ri’s interjection. “I love that you clocked this RIH,” one person wrote amid countless other people’s barrage of laughing emojis in the replies.
Rihanna is well known for having no filter on social media. She’s not shy about putting trolls in their place, at one point shutting down a commenter who demanded new music and referred to her as “forehead” earlier this year with, “You ain’t cute enough to be calling me by my black name you dizzy f–k!”
And during last year’s presidential election, Ri fired off a series of digs at MAGA conservatives flooding the comments of her post encouraging people to vote. In response to one person who wrote that she should “stick to music sis,” for instance, the Grammy winner quipped, “Where were you in Jan 6 sis? Stick to your discounted crotch. We out here fighting for its rights!”
Her latest clapback proves that she hasn’t lost her fire, even after welcoming her third baby with A$AP Rocky just two months ago. In September, the couple revealed that Ri had given birth to their daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, who joins older brothers RZA and Riot Rose.
In one of the couple’s latest updates on parenthood, Rocky told Extra at the CFDA Fashion Awards, “Yo, being a girl dad is amazing … I mean, check me out — I’m glowing.”
