----------------------------------------------------------------------
After being discovered for her immense talent by a producer on vacation in Barbados, Rihanna travelled to the states to record her first demos. Pon de Replay was heard by then president of Def Jam Records, Jay-Z.
Rihanna’s first six albums topped the charts of pop, R&B and rap. Her collaborations with major stars like Eminem and Drake were beloved by fans. But Rihanna’s success was based on more than just her incredible voice and striking green eyes. Rihanna worked hard to get where she is today.
After finding success in the world of music, she branched out into film. She also worked on a few fashion lines, including a majorly successful collaboration with Puma. Then she launched her brand, Fenty, which has since evolved from an inclusive line of makeup for all skin tones, to fashion with inclusive sizing, lingerie, and skincare.
No matter how much fame and fortune Rihanna has earned, she’s never forgotten her roots in Barbados. The singer has been back to work with local charities, and even has a street named after her. Her success is based on her talent and the unique quality that sets her apart from many of her colleagues in entertainment - a passion for hard work and determination.

What makes RIhanna so unic? She is the true definition of authenticity, she is just aligned with herself in the purest and truest way without a centimeter of perversity. She is pure with her soul, she is the Icon of this century. Period.

[@sharonhaigsnicholas6679]

What makes Rihanna so special. She's an amazing person, she's honest, she's so personal on what she does, she out going, she's down to earth, she's caring. She don't let money control her. All her popularity she finds time to give back.

You guys need to check your facts Fenty beauty is worth more than Kylie cosmetics. Fenty is worth 3 billion dollars and Kylie cosmetics is worth 1.2 billion dollars. It is so annoying for you guys to be giving us information but then it'll be factually incorrect. It defeats the point of your channel.

[@mauistarz8302]

Agreed!!! For real... Fenty is top of the line!! She's hit gold with her cosmetics line and her clothing line. This woman is on 🔥!!! Get it RiRi

[@nikidalton1935]

They both do their thing. Us woman need to stop bashing each other and acting like this one is better than the next. They're both powerful. But these woman don't go around judging either so maybe that's why they are where they're at 🤷‍♀️😎👌

[@nikidalton1935]

@@venessafranco6702 its deeper than that. And it is bashing. Someone's finances is no ones business. What would be the purpose in saying fenty is worth more than Kylie? When they couldve simply made it to where people don't have to draw comparison to the next person believing you need to be better!?
