Say what now?
A lot of people have been saying Rihanna’s name wrong, and Twitter is mad about it.
British Vogue shared a video of the star on its social media channels the other day and it sent fans of Riri into a spin.
So basically, we think we’ve been saying her name right, but it’s her American fans that have been pronouncing her name wrong this whole time.

We say it like ‘Ree-Anna’ while people in the US pronounce it ‘Ree-Ah-Na’.
There’s not much of a difference but still, people kinda went all-out crazy on Twitter:
Rihanna: Oh na na, what’s my name?

The real pronunciation is “Where’s the album?”
