The headline is not a lie. Robyn Rihanna Fenty knows about this blog, about We found Rihanna, and that’s just beyond. How do I know? Well Melina sent her parts of her interview as Fan of the Month to Rih and she not only read the message, she replied!

I’m so so happy for Melina who’s been getting all this love from Rih lately!! And I’m so so happy for myself to be part of it somehow. She’s liked pictures of me with other fans before and followed me on Twitter for about a year (still don’t know why she unfollowed). This however is the first time I can be certain that she at least knows the name of my blog as well. <333
The girl who knows about this blog joined Paul McCartney on stage for his Desert Trip concert last night.
There’s an AWT Special moments from Philly on the way but let’s break this backstage video shot by 247paps.tv down a little first. Because 1) look at her and 2) KILL ME BECAUSE THIS DOWN TO EARTH LITTLE BABY ANGEL IS THE MOST HUMBLE MEGA STAR ON THE PLANET.
Here we go, from the beginning:
1.
0:03: Talking to Nyla (the young fan in the video) about her new sibling. Rihanna knows that Nyla was pretty disappointed after her mom’s ultra sound didn’t show any penis attached to the fetus. How Rih knows this? Thanks to Nyla’s aunt (who Rihanna follows) sharing these videos on Instagram:

Trust Rihanna to not only acknowledge Nyla’s struggle but to keep up with what’s happened post delivery as well. At the meeting after the show in Philadelphia, she asks her:
”You want she now?! Or I can get she? Can I keep her?”
BECAUSE SHE INTERACTS WITH HER FANBASE LIKE THAT. SHE KNOWS US.
2.
0:26: On being called sis by the navy…
”I like sis! It make me feel as, as I’m one of ya’ll.”
3.
1:47: On why we haven’t been getting any rihplies lately.
”I reply sometimes! You all just want me to clap back.”
– We do want you to clap back!
”No. Too many clap backers…”
– But you taught ‘em.
”Now it’s like, now I can’t take it. I hate to see somebody… It’s just not right.”
– You need something new.
”No I just, not like that, I just… I don’t even have time to read that shit furthermore reply. You know I hate when people let people know they saw that shit. You aint see that? You got time to see that? No!”
Here’s to hoping she’ll change her mind though, ‘cause we all love her replies, don’t we?
Rih has been spending the past days in New York because of the shows she’s having there. And when Rih’s in New York, The Navy is in New York. We have fans flying in from Los Angeles, Portugal and even Brazil to attend the Brooklyn shows. And yesterday, there was a Navy dinner going on at Rih’s favourite restaurant, Da Silvano, hosted by Tay Tay.
”Well I made reservations for the navy to all meet at Da Silvano and have a nice dinner. And after we sat down, we saw pictures of Rih leaving her apartment in SoHo. So we started to hope that she’d come to Da Silvano. Then Cesar (a well known paparazzi in the navy, goes by the name 247paps) DM:ed Rodrigo and asked if we were still at the restaurant. We waited for a while to see if Cesar would update us hoping that she would show up, since he was following her and keeping us posted. But it turns out she was at the Roc Nation office and had been there since we saw pictures of her outside her apartment. So we paid the check and took some group photos outside Da Silvano then we caught cabs to the Roc Nation building she was at and waited there for about 45 minutes. Then she came out. There were soooo many paparazzi that none of us could really see, especially her, from the flash of their cameras. Rayven got to give her the ashtray she made for her. I asked for a pic but Rih put her hand on me and told me to wait since she couldn’t see where she was going, but the cameras only got worse.
But yeah, so we saw her outside the building and that was really it. The food was soooo good and the waiter told us a bunch of stories about him and Rih and showed us pictures of them. Like really rare pictures and videos. We sat right next to where Rih always sits at. It was great.”
It feels great to finally have started this blog and we’re both so excited for the amazing feedback we’re receiving. I’m sure some of you are wondering what we’ll be writing about though. As we’ve mentioned before, the purpose of this blog is to show the relationship between Rihanna and her fans. And what it’s like to be a fan, what goes through our minds etc. We’ll also be writing a lot about Rihanna’s on going ANTI World Tour. But if you feel like there’s something other than this that you really wanna read about, please let us know by (for example) leaving a comment below. It could be anything. Why is our fan base called Rihanna Navy? How many fans does Rihanna have? How do you get noticed by her? How is it that we have the time and energy to support a person this much? How much money do we actually spend on her? It really could be anything. Let us know and we’ll make sure to write about it. But for now, here are some categories we will be covering.
AWT special moments – We will look up special moments from each tour date. It could be Rih noticing fans in the audience, setlist changing, Rih meeting fans after or just a cute video of Rih performing.
Fan Encounter – As often as we can, we will post stories written by fans who have met Rihanna. How she is in person, how the meeting took place etc.
Fan of the Week – Every week we will interview someone who becomes Fan of the week. The interviews will be posted on Monday. If you are interested in being Fan of the Week, please contact Ebba on Twitter: @illestbaba
This all we got for now. More categories are coming soon. Stay tuned!
