It’s Monday which means it’s time for Fan of the Week! This time we’ve interviewed Ebba’s dear friend and crush: Zayn.

1) Name and age?
My name is Zayn Alahmad & I’m 19 years old.

2) Where do you live?
I recently moved to L.A to peruse my dreams & study acting. My goal is to be an excellent motherfucking actor in Hollywood.

3) Occupation?
Because I just moved to the U.S, I’m working day & night at a car dealership until my visa papers are done and I get my papers done and start depending on myself and live on my own.

4) Number of times you’ve seen Rihanna live?
I’ve seen Rihlegend live 2 times at this point. The first time was on 2010’s new years eve for the Last Girl On Earth tour & the 2nd time was on October 20th 2013 for the Diamonds World Tour. Both dates were in Abu Dhabi and they both succeeded to be life changing and sexuality confusion moments.

5) Are you attending ”ANTI WORLD TOUR”?
As of now I’m definitely going to attend L.A’s show of AWT. I’m hoping I’ll attend both the 3rd and 4th of May. But since I’m having hard times lately I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend any, but since I’m a positive person I won’t allow life to be a bitch at me. It’ll have to square tf up.

When did you discover Rihanna is the greatest ever to stan?
Technically, I’ve been following Rihanna since 2006 but my stan life got verified in the Rated R era when I joined Stan Twitter and Rih started growing slowly but harshly in my veins. Ever since then I wake up with her face in my mind and I sleep dreaming about her outstanding legendary existence.

How was it being a Rihanna fan in Syria/Dubai?
Being a Rihanna fan in the middle east period was a tough thing to experience, maybe it was even harder in Syria since I used to get judged a lot for it but just the fact that you’re a stan in the middle east is tough since it’s rare to find actual stans and the mindsets there are fu**ed up. However being a Navy gave me a very exquisite identity around the community and the people that are around me. At some point in Dubai the people called me Rihanna and suddenly they started discovering her just so they can approach me and be friends with me lol. I even made people go from making fun of me to die just so they can attend her concert.

Has she helped you with your confidence?
In all honesty, Rihanna was THE life changing person in my life, she helped me shape my personality, she helped me evolve as a person. Due to my sexuality I had troubles at first with accepting and loving myself but through her music, interviews and her messages to her fans and the way she lives her life regardless of the world trying to tear her apart since 2005 to this very date, she transformed my persona, she made me sronger, she vanished 70% of the fucks that I carried with me through the years. She made me find, love and accept myself in the best way possible, and ever since, I started living in a certain form of freedom that changed my life forever. I owe Rih my life and I will never be able to thank her enough for it.

Where do you see yourself in five years? Will you still be a hard core fan? Or perhaps work with her?
In 5 years, I see myself as an Arab actor who just finished studying acting and made his very first appearances on the big screen in Hollywood, which I’m hoping will be an excellent start of a career that I’m hoping it will standout in the future and be very successful. Since Rih inspires me massively I’m planning on showing myself to be an extremely excellent versatile actor who’s willing to reinvent and take risks regardless of the backlash the Arab world is going to give me.

I said it before and I’m going to say it again, I will never unstan Rih or grow out of her love. I don’t give a fuck how old I am, I will not let this fucked up world and society decide what I’m going to do in my life. Madonna’s stans are still stanning her hard after 30 years even tho they have jobs families and responsibilities and this will be me with Rihanna. What makes you think I will unstan someone who defined my persona? Who helped me through the toughest times? Whose art gave me the greatest moments in my life and the best memories to ever be made on this planet? I love her to death.

Oooooh god, I already picture myself working with her in the future. Whether acting in her music videos or any project that she makes like the ANTIDiaRy. But the best thing would be if she focused more on getting into movies which will increase the chances of me standing in front of her majesty on the big screen.

RIHLEGEND I LOVE YOU TO DEATH. KISS IT BETTER BEST SONG EVER BY THE FUCKING WAY.
