Rihanna has always been known for her relatability and down-to-earth vibes, so it comes as no surprise that being deemed a billionaire has been "scary" for her. In a recent interview with The Cut, the self-proclaimed Bad Gal got candid about her new status and revealed the first thing she did when she heard the big news: buy Chinese Food. She told the mag:
âI usually do pork fried rice, but that day was chicken fried rice."
Rih continued on about why the term "billionaire" made her feel a bit uneasy, adding:
"Itâs scary. I do think about it all the time. I make it a point to think about it, because I⊠get scared when, you know, the pedestal comes into play and weâll put you up there and they keep wanting to put you up there⊠Iâm like, âNo, I want to be on the ground.â I want to feel my feet on the ground because I know itâs not going to be a fall at all if anything, right?... I donât want to be this icon⊠I want to remember who I am.â
When the interviewer reminded the "Kiss It Better" singer that her status inspires other Black women to feel that they can do the same, the songstress agreed, saying:
âI think that is what makes it worth it. Thatâs what I want. Thatâs what I worked for. I want to be able to share my inspiration, I want to be able to be an inspiration, and I want to be inspired by even my fans, people who look up to me, I look up to them. And itâs mutual respect that I have because I wouldnât be here without them.â
Judging by the success and anticipation behind her Rihanna's latest Savage X Fenty Show on Amazon Prime, it seems as though her billionaire status and influence won't be stopping anytime soon.
