Rihanna explained, “And that’s how I treat the fragrance today: I want it to exude everything I feel, everything I am, and everything I want to be.”
She stated that her ‘mantra has always been and always will be: “Beauty is there for fun. It should never feel like a pressure or a uniform.” I hope that continues, because it’s an incredibly joyful and liberating way to live.”

Rihanna confirmed to Fashion in 2019 that he “absolutely” turned down the previous year’s halftime show to support Colin Kaepernick.
I couldn’t dare to do that. So that? Who wins with that? Not my people. He just couldn’t be a sellout. It couldn’t be an enabler,” she declared.
