There are many reasons to love Rihanna, but perhaps one of the main reasons she’s amassed a loyal following of fans is because she keeps it 100% real, 100% of the time – and her response to a Rihanna lookalike on TikTok was no exception. Hear all about it below:
TikTok user Priscilla Beatrice has been taking to the video sharing platform – as well as her Instagram page – to point out the mind-blowing resemblance she has to Rihanna.
Beatrice has almost 170,000 followers on Instagram and racks up thousands of likes on her photos, and it’s really no surprise. She could be Rihanna’s twin, or at least sister.
Last week, Beatrice posted a TikTok video in which she was impersonating RiRi at the 2019 British Fashion Awards. The video quickly went viral with 2.3M likes, over 38,000 comments and 58,000 shares.
Beatrice’s TikTok video was reposted on The Shade Room’s Instagram where it even caught the attention of Rihanna herself.
Instead of commenting on their very obvious similarities, or even being slightly creeped out by how alike they look, Rihanna used the video as an opportunity to ‘troll’ the fans that continue to troll her about her next album.
“Where the album sis? #R9” RiRi cheekily commented on The Shade Room’s post.
It’s a hilarious poke from Rihanna at her greedy (albeit loyal) fans, and would we expect anything less from her? She’s iconic in everything she does – even her Instagram comments.
It’s safe to say Priscila Beatrice was starstruck by RiRi’s comment on her video, and took to social media to share her appreciation. “I can’t stop crying with emotion! Of happiness! It is a dream,” she posted in a caption on Instagram.
You’ve gotta love queens supporting queens. It really is the content the world needs right now.
