ANTI World Tour has hit Las Vegas! And the award for the cutest family ever goes to…..
Here’s what Christina Monroe and Annie Mariethe’s mom had to say about the experience:
”She was rushing for her show. Her body guard and friends was like we’re late we gotta go and she still waited and posed and then I got outa the pic and she continued to pose with them. She was nice and just kept looking and smiling down at them.”
As predicted by fans, Toronto has been a big stop for Rihanna on her ANTI World Tour. She hasn’t just performed twice but celebrated her best friend Melissa’s birthday at Drake’s co-owned restaurant Fring’s as well. According to rumors, the name of the restaurant, Fring’s, is the nickname Drake uses for Rihanna, with reference to the two’s favorite TV show Breaking Bad. However, this is not something Drake has confirmed (nor has he denied it). Instead, he says the name comes from Jamaican patois and is ”just something you pull from your own emotions, from a happy time”.
During the first Toronto show, the city native rapper was just watching from behind but for the second night he joined Rihanna on stage to perform their smash hit Work.
This is the second time he steps out to grind on and sweet talk our girl during the AWT. In Miami, he talked about her ”soft hands” and last night told the audience Rihanna is ”the greatest woman I’ve ever known in my entire life”. Ugh, make a baby already!
How about @Drake giving some love to "the greatest woman he's known"? He and @rihanna driving the crowd insane! pic.twitter.com/3mE3ubSgx3

Besides from Work he also performed One dance off of his highly anticipated ”Views from the 6”, dropping on April 29th. This is the first live performance of the song that also features Wizkid and Tyla.

Drake, unlike Rihanna, is a dinosaur when it comes to certain social media outlets… He did manage to hype the album release on someone else’s snapchat backstage though (and sound like a grandpa wanting to be hip while doing so).
EDIT: Ebba is upset that Alex referred to Drake as a grandpa. Very upset.

Here’s to hoping grandpa comes through and joins the greatest woman he’s ever known in his entire life in Europe so we can watch him do his faces from front row. Ok? Thank you.
Rihanna and Nyla have known each other for quite some time. It all started with Nyla’s aunt Shawnté sharing videos of the 10 year old fangirl from Philadelphia on social media, where Rihanna would watch and often comment.
(Video and reply from May, 2014)
Some days ago we posted the backstage video from the AWT Philly show and now: here’s Nyla’s story. Can we all give her a round of applause for being such a good story teller please?!
”I was very excited when I opened the tickets on Christmas. It was my first concert so I didn’t know what to expect. When we got there Travis Scott was performing so we went to the booth and I got a Tour book and a album. Then we went to our seats.
Auntie told me that Rih would come on 9:15-9:20 so when I looked at my phone it was 8:36 and I was sooooo impatient I could NOT wait but like it was RIHANNA like how could you be patient?. So I went on Instagram to look at my feed and the next time I looked at my clock it was 9:00 at this point my heart was beating out of my chest since that moment I was counting down the minutes until Rih came on.
Now it was 9:14 and I was jumping ⬆️ and ⬇️ in my seat I was excited but so she didn’t come on at 9:15 but I was waiting on 9:20 and at 9:21 ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF and then these 2 pieces came up to form a trapezoid and then I saw Rih walking up. She started singing Stay. We had floor seats but EVERYBODY STOOD ON THEIR CHAIRS so I couldn’t see her, so me and Auntie moved. She had on a white cape but I wanted to see her outfit so I said ”IS SHE GOING TO TAKE THAT CAPE OFF” and when she got on a catwalk she did. She looked so cute. She danced and sang her songs then I watched the rest of the show.
Out of the whole show my favorite performance was Man Down. I love that song. It’s my favorite. After the show Auntie met up with her navy friends Kiya, Shay aka Rihplies, Alleyah. The paps guys were with us too. Cesar and Diggzy. We was waiting by the stage and Rihanna’s body guard told Auntie to come with him so Cesar picked me up and we went backstage and I literally could not wait? So I was just sitting backstage with my sharpie and my tour book and album. I kept asking Auntie when was Rih coming. Then we heard Rih’s voice and Auntie went to go ”PREPARE” herself?
Then Rih came out and then she came to see me, Auntie and her navy friends. She’s so funny. She was asking me about my little sister Nia. Rih really thinks she can have my sister. She cannot. She asked me what my favorite cartoon was. I told her SpongeBob. She said SpongeBob was lit and not for kids. Lol. I also got a autograph, a selfie, and like 52 hugs and kisses. I couldn’t sleep the whole way home. I couldn’t wait to tell my mommy. I was sad when we had to leave. Rih said she was going to follow me on Instagram and at like 4 am she did. I have the screenshot.
I love Rihanna because she loves me??⚓️❤️??”

”When Rhenna met Rhenna.”
We talked to Emily to find out how she ended up backstage after the show last night and here is her story:
”Well it all started when someone in the VIP lounge told me that I was reposted on Twitter. I don’t have Twitter though but my once my Instagram name was shared I started getting a lot of follows and a lot of likes. Then Rihanna followed me (!). I told her I was in the front row and would love to meet her afterwards but what really got my backstage was her hairstylist noticing me right as I was leaving the arena.
I originally came by myself but two people were smart enough to stick around with me (and they also got to go backstage) while her hairstylist left for a while. When he came back he says ”yeah sure she’ll love to meet you” and we got to go backstage. There are other people that she knows there too and she goes to greet them first before she heads back to a dressing room. When she came back out it was our turn.
She was really amazed by my costume and couldn’t believe that I made it myself. She was so cute! She smelled amazing and I asked her if she could sign some things and give a shout out to my mom because I told my mom if I get backstage that I’m gonna have Rihanna call her.”
Wow! We love to see the navy staying creative and having fun with Rih. This tour has really started out in a magical fashion. Happy our fave seems so content with where she is and what she’s doing. She seems to be in such a good place. And we’re right there with her.
Rihanna invites fans backstage in Detroit and FaceTime the girl who couldn’t make it.
